I love soaking in a nice warm bath with scented Epsom salts. The problem I run into is that, unless I’m willing to spend extra for a high-end brand, I’m left with a product that has an artificial or chemical smell.

Plus, I like to add an extra generous scoop of bath salts to the tub, so I go through packages of this stuff way too quickly.
