Would your mother prefer a gift that you made yourself? Try this DIY recipe for bath salts. Let mom spend some time relaxing in the tub on Mother’s Day!

The recipe requires coarse sea salt, epsom salts, baking soda, and essential oil (in a scent your mom likes). Food coloring is optional. Follow the recipe and put the bath salts into a nice container.

Does your mom like candles? Make a quick and easy DIY Mother’s Day gift by repurposing an empty, glass, baby food jar (or more than one).

In addition to the clean jar (with label removed) you will need a votive candle or tea light and some creativity. Decorate the jar by using sharpie markers, a lace doily, or by crocheting around the base of the jar (to about halfway up). Your mom will love that you made her gift yourself!

Good Tip: Saving money is important – especially if you have a lot of expenses like bills to pay, loans to pay off, and all the other things that drain your bank account. Figuring out a way to save money can feel tedious to some, and like a punishment to others. U.S. News suggests that you try one of these money saving challenges. The “No Eating Out for a Month” Challenge This one is self-explanatory. The goal is to avoid eating out for an entire month. This might be super easy for people who enjoy making meals at home. People who really enjoy dining out, or ordering food to be sent to their home, may struggle with this one. It’s worth a try because spending money on take-out is more expensive than buying groceries. The Pantry Challenge This one is a variation of the “No Eating Out for a Month” challenge. The goal is to use up all of your groceries before you buy more. It forces you to try and remember why you bought a food or beverage that you don’t know what to do with, and gives you the opportunity to find a way to use it. The one exemption to this challenge is the foods that have expired. Don’t eat them! Throw them in the trash. The “No Spend” Challenge Make a goal to avoid spending money during an entire weekend. The only exemption in this challenge is that you are allowed to pay bills. This challenge is interesting because it requires creativity. You must be creative and find workarounds for problems that you would typically solve by spending money. You may have a different outlook on spending after finishing this challenge.
