[ A DIY Guide to Therapeutic Bath Enhancements: Homemade Recipes for Bath Salts, Melts, Bombs and Scrubs Carroll, Alynda ( Author ) ] { Paperback } 2014 Paperback – 1 Jan. 2014

What a delightful surprise! I was attracted to this book by the cover and curious as to what "bath enhancements" are! I guessed it had something to do with soaps and having a luxurious bath time and yes, I was right! In fact, The DIY Guide to Therapeutic Bath Enhancements goes way deeper than that and kicks off with a brief historical account of the history of bathing and reasons why the author loves her baths! There are lots of classic and contemporary "home made bath recipes" using natural ingredients like epsom salts, vegetable oils, essential oils, dried flowers and herbs. I feel this book would make a very loving gift for a friend and/or you can make the bath bombs or melts as personal gifts.
