DIY Lilac Bath Milk

Remember how you used to make Mother’s Day cards with construction paper and crayons? No matter how old you are, moms always love a gift from the heart (and made with the hands). So give her the gift of relaxation for Mother’s Day with a milk bath you can create in your own kitchen. It takes just a few minutes, with a few ingredients to create a milk bath that will leave mom’s skin feeling soft and her feeling refreshed. Pair it with La Crema wine, flowers & a sugar scrub for a complete gift basket she will love!

Note on the storage containers: I used Weck jars for their timeless charm, but any type of canning jars work well.
