Bath Bombs

I love to take baths.  I also love to put bath bombs in my bath.  I saw some at stores going for $5-$10 each and that is a 1 time use.  So I looked up to see if they are easy to make and they are.  I bought most of my ingredients at Coastalscents.com they even have the molds. 

This is the Fruit Cocktail Scent I did.  The color on top is Epson Salt with food coloring.

These are some of the items you need to make the bombs.  

Epson Salt. 

 What I used to make these.

• 1 Cup Citric Acid
• 2 Cups Baking Soda
• Witch Hazel In a Spray bottle
• 8 -10 drops Essential oils Scent of your choice
• 5-10 drops of Olive Oil (Makes skin very Smooth)
• Epson Salt (You dont have to use this I get sore muscles and love it in my baths)
• Molds
  
  Mix baking soda and citric acid in large mixing bowl. Mix very well and get all the clumps out.
  
  
  Add the Essential Oils and Olive Oil the scent is personal, so start with a couple drops and add more until you are satisfied. MIX WELL
  
  The next part is a little hard.  You don't want to add too much Witch Hazel to make you Bath Bomb to start to fizz.   Add 1 spray at a time and mix.  You want to be able to for a packed ball in your hand was about 10-15 sprays for me.  Just mix it and test it the sprayed amount could differ from spray bottles and the air temp.
  
  I added a little dyed epson salt in the top of my mold like you can see above.  Then you pack your molds with your mixture.
  
  

They are very easy to make. They took me about a hour to make 10.  I will next time buy a mold at the store that would be in a shape.  I will let you know how those go.  I have used a couple other peoples tutorials to come up with my own Bath Bombs.  I will change a couple things that I did this time and let you know how they go next time. 

XOXO,
