In celebration of my new apartmentās bathtub, Iāve been experimenting a lot lately with Bath Blends! 
These are quick, simple, and very easy blends using the things I already have lying around! 
Since they cost nothing extra to make, Iām offering this as my own addition to this weekās Witchy Challenge on Being a Thrifty Witch 
To make a bath blend, choose a combination of ingredients:
-
Flower petals/buds- I almost always have a bouquet on the table, so when the flowers are almost wilted, I get one more use out of them! You could also use fresh petals from garden flowers or dried petals. My favorite to use are roses
-
Herbs- same as flowers, both dried or fresh will work! I highly recommend chamomile for itās soothing skincare properties. Calendula is also lovely and healing for the skin. Lavender has a gentle and relaxing scent. If you donāt have fresh or dried herbs, you can consider using an extract [
But be careful with extracts and essential oils- they should only be used in very small quantities, and some may cause irritation to your skin!] -
Salt- Salt dissolves in bath water and has a host of medicinal and magickal benefits. I always have Seat Salt in the kitchen cupboard, but you may consider using purified salt like a Salt Cleanser Blend, or try Himalayan Sea Salt or Lava Salt (with activated charcoal). You may even consider using a blend of magickal Black Salt!
-
Crystals- Adding a charged crystal to your blend will help to give your blend the qualities of the crystal you use. I almost always include my favorite Orange Aventurine stone to help draw in joy and good fortune
If you have the time, leave the bath blend on a windowsill overnight to charge it with the power of the moon 
. You could also say a chant, although I usually prefer to focus my intent mentally as I make the blend 
(For the blend in the picture above, I actually let the mix soak in just an inch of water for an hour or so before I took my bath- I wanted to let the water really soak up the goodness of the petals! )
And ta-dah! Add the mix to your next hot bath for a beautiful, luxurious, and blessed experience 
Iām not at the level of making fancy bath bombs yet- but maybe soon! 
I love how simple but delightful these easy blends are to make. And, if you use what you have on hand, a little luxury in the bath is totally free!
Blessed Be (and Happy Baths!) to All!
I love a bath blend / bath soak 
Bath ritual is something I want to start doing now that I also have a bathtub, but I canāt let things float around or clog up the drain, so I am actually planning on getting some of those tea bags that you can refill and using those to hold my ingredients - like a bath tea lol
Sometimes when Iām feeling lazy Iāll just throw a chamomile tea bag or two into the bath- it makes the water nice and soothing, is super quick and easy, and thereās no clean-up at all! 
towards the end of bathing, so when I stand up, the bath has cooled. It helps alot and itās bizzarely refreshing! 
! I havenāt had a completely normal bath in weeks- always gotta throw a little bath salt or some petals in! 
I second the advice Megan gave- loose-leaf herbs or flower petals in ritual baths can be scooped up and disposed of in many of the same ways you can 
It might help give you some ideas
