Cindy Crushes Programming: DIY Shower Melts by Cindy Shutts

I love doing bath and body programs. I based this programming on this recipe.

Aromatherapy Shower Melts
Supplies
- ½ cup baking soda
- 1/4 cup sea salt or Epsom salt
- up to 2 tsp of water
- Peppermint or lemon 10 drops 10
- Bowl
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- Tablecloths
- Use Food gloves for mixing
Steps:
- Mix dry ingredients in the bowl ½ cup of Baking soda and ¼ Epsom salt
- Add water slowly and mix. The mixture should stick together but not look wet. Add more water as needed.
- Add ten drop of the lemon or peppermint
- Move mixture in the plastic conditioner you should have enough for 2-3.
- Wait 24 hours for it to Dry
Final thought: This was a great program and when I get back to work I plan to do more programs like it.
