21 Awesome Lavender DIY Gifts
My husband and I had a lot of fun making the bath bombs together…don't make fun. We did. I have a slight addiction to expensive bath bombs and these are JUST as good.

Well thanks for sharing so many uses of lavender. I am definitely going to try making some of these. I am using Himalayan bath salt these days so I am thinking about using lavender along with this salt to add benefits and of course the beautiful smell of lavender to my bath salt.
