A few weeks ago, I bought a bag of dried red rose petals and I have been scouring the Internet for creative ways to use them.  I chose to get an edible variety, so I will be using them in an assortment of DIY beauty projects and recipes over the coming months.  This homemade milk bath recipe was easy to make and will be a great way to treat myself to some relaxing 'me time' this week.  When momma ain't happy, there ain't NOBODY happy, right?  It's definitely true in my house.  Pampering myself occasionally makes me a much better mom!  If you want to try out this easy DIY for yourself, keep reading for the recipe and a few affiliate links for products that you will need to get started.

Amazon has an amazing selection of dried rose petals to choose from.  Do your research before you buy.  If you want to use them in food, make sure you only buy food grade rose petals.  If you only want to buy the petals themselves, make sure the description says 'petals' because otherwise, you get a combination of buds AND petals which may not be as useful for your projects.  Read the reviews.  I found those pretty helpful.

For the salt in this recipe, I chose a course sea salt since it has lots of minerals and helps soften skin and detox the body.  You can replace it with Epsom salts, magnesium flakes, or Hymalian pink sea salt.  I dyed my salt with natural food colorings but you can leave them naturally colored as well.

  4. Layer in a jar the salt, oats/milk mixture and dried red rose petals.
  5. Seal the jar and store at room temperature for up to 6 months or give as a gift.
  6. To use, pour entire amount into the tub while water is running. You can also mix the layered ingredients in a bowl and add half the amount to a tub full of water and save the rest for another night.

    This is a really interesting recipe and looks so great in that jar. Truly it makes an awesome gift piece too. I am surely recommending it to my mum to try it out. I am sure she must not have heard of this one. 🙂
