Bath Bombs

A nice, hot bath is already pretty relaxing, but with pleasant scents and fizzy, colorful foam? Now that's a recipe for a perfect evening.

Materials

  • 1 cup baking soda
  • 1/2 cup citric acid
  • 1/2 cup Epsom salt
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 3/4 tsp. water
  • 2 tsp essential oil ex: lavender, eucalyptus, rose
  • 2 tsp oil ex: jojoba, sweet almond, coconut olive or baby oil
  • A few drops of food coloring

Instructions

  • Mix all of the dry ingredients except for the citric acid in a big bowl.
  • Pour the liquid ingredients into a lidded jar. Close it up and give it a good, vigorous shaking.
  • Pour the liquid mix into the dry mix in the bowl. With your hands, combine and meld everything together. Add the citric acid now. It should get a bit fizzy.
  • Tightly pack the mixture into any round mold. You can overfill them a bit, just use a spoon or something to pack it in nice and tight. Quickly loosen the bombs out of the mold onto some wax paper and leave them overnight. Once they have a consistency like wet sand, they're ready for use or gift wrapping.
