Essential Oils during a nice hot bath sounds wonderful in theory but if you are anything like me, taking the time to draw a bath is not on the priority list. For my day to day, a nice hot shower is the go-to so adding this Essential Oil Shower Melt to the mix made total sense!

Such an easy DIY with unlimited aromatherapy options, I might be obsessed!

Next, add 1/2 cup of Epsom salt to the bowl. Then slowly add water to the mixture and mix together until it becomes clumpy (2-3 tablespoons of water).

Once the mixture is even, add 20-25 drops of your favorite essential oil blends.

Finally, scoop the mixture into a silicone baking mold/ice tray/mini-muffin pan. Press firmly in the mold and allow to dry for 48+ hours. 

Once dry store in an airtight container. I repurposed a Bath & Body Works 3-wick candle jar and it works great! (Want tips on how to get the jar sparkling clean? I used tips from Instrupix.com). If you don’t have one of those laying around you could also use one of these. 

Before each shower place, one melt off to the side in the basin of your shower (be sure to not place in the direct water stream). As the warm water hits the melt it will release amazing aromas prepping you for a productive day ahead or a peaceful nights sleep.

Here are some of my favorite Shower Melt aroma combinations (remember to pin!) :
