Detox Bath
Having just been seduced into signing a lease by an enormous jacuzzi tub, I find this idea thoroughly appropriate and enticing!
2 Cups Epsom Salts
2 Cups Baking Soda
2 Cups Sea Salt
5 Tbsp Ground Ginger
1 Cup (Natural - Braggs) Apple Cider Vinegar
Combine all dry ingredients and store in air tight container.
When its time to bath add one cup of dry ingredients and one cup of vinegar to the hot water.
Benefits:
Epsom Salts draws toxins from the body, while relieving aches and pains. Also promotes magnesium absorption which has been shown to help alleviate depression.
Baking Soda balances an overly acidic system, refreshing, energizing and softening skin.
Sea Salt soothes skin, healing open sores and blemishes
Ground Ginger increases circulation
Vinegar soothes and softens skin with an added cleansing property.

In the beginning...
While in the middle of relocating my entire life for a new job, I was turned on to Pinterest, which in turn gave me hundreds of great ideas, that lead me to having even more questions of what to do in my own home (and life). This string of consciousness lead to the realization that I need some sort of forum for these questions. Having found nothing to serve this need, I have taken the initiative to create my own space. So I must apologize if you are reading this in its beginning phases. Stick with me and I promise it will get better and more interesting AND be the host of many great ideas!
