Peppermint Bath Salt Notes

If you or someone you know is allergic to dyes, you can easily just leave out the food coloring altogether if you’d like.

They will smell just as amazing. And if you’re giving it as a gift, you could just dress up the jar a little more… maybe attach a mini candy cane on the outside or a pretty ribbon and bow?
