Posted: 24 Nov 2012 11:32 AM PST

Last weekend I taught a Baths Salts & Sugar Scrubs class at Confluence Gallery & Art Center.  I posted general recipes for participants to follow, and offered a wide selection of herbs and oils for them to create their own luxurious concoctions. Over the two hour span, the group came up with many different variations of the posted recipes – perfect gifts for the holidays!
