  Step 1

  GATHER ALL THE INGREDIENTS AND MATERIALS UP. This is the motley selection of items that I have. I have a shopping compulsion when it comes to ingredients... :-)

• 

  Step 2

  ADD SALT TO THE JAR. I chose to minimize the mess and clean up and just pour everything directly into the jar. (I cut out the bottom of a Styrofoam cup for a funnel.) I started with the salts. I used a blend of 1 cup Epsom, 1/4 cup Dead Sea Salts, and 1/2 a cup Celtic Sea Salt. Use whatever you like or have on hand.

  Step 3

  ADD YOUR OILS. On the day I made this it was so hot and muggy the coconut oil was already melted, so I just poured enough to half fill the 1 cup, then topped it off with Jojoba. You can do all one or a mixture of any oils you prefer.

  Step 4

  ADD YOUR HERBS (OPTIONAL)

  I found a new use for the coffee grinder! I just poured the lavender and peppermint into the grinder, pulsed it a few times and got a nice powder. I thought it was nicer than the whole pieces in the tub or foot bath afterwards.

  Step 5

  ADD THE ESSENTIAL OILS AND VITAMIN E. Stir everything up well and add the last liquids. When I made this it was hot and HUMID so I ended up adding a little more salt at this point because it looked very liquidy. Eyeball it at this point and use your best judgement.

  Step 6

  SEAL IT UP AND DECORATE THE JAR IF IT'S A GIFT.

  I like to get the pre-made Mason Jar squares because I'm lazy and can't cut straight. If it's a gift I would normally put a label on it as well, with instructions.

  I usually start out with a spoonful for each foot, and really work it in all over, even between the toes. I let the formula sit for a bit on my skin, then I put my feet in warm water and let them soak! SO NICE!
