DIY Bath Bombs

Hello, lovelies! With it being winter, our skin is more vulnerable to being dry and cracked. Moisturizing is always good, but sometimes, we need to give our skin a little extra loving. 

I will be the first to admit I love myself a good soak in the tub: a deliciously scented bath bomb, a hair or face mask (or both), lit candles, and just my thoughts. It makes a tough day seem a little less stressful.

However, the price of those LUSH bath bombs can add up quite quickly, leaving poor college students suffering. To fix this problem, here is a bulk recipe to make some customizable DIY bath bombs that will cure your winter-chilled skin. 

What You Need:

2 cup baking soda

1 cup citric acid

1 cup Epsom salts

2 tsp. water

4 tsp. essential oil

6 tsp. olive oil

food coloring

----

2 glass bowls

Whisk

Bath bomb molds

Directions:

Step 1: Mix all dry ingredients in a glass bowl and mix evenly with a whisk.

Step 2: In the other glass bowl, mix all liquid ingredients together.

Step 3: Put a small amount of your liquid mixture to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Mix until all the liquid has been absorbed by the dry ingredients. Continue adding small amounts of the liquid mixture until it has all been used.

Step 4: Put mixture in the molds. In an ornament mold, put a little more than what it holds on both sides and press it together until the two molds touch (they don't have to clip together). In half molds, press tightly so bath bombs are solid.

Step 5: Once it is pressed, gently tap out with a spoon or hands to loosen the bath bomb.

Step 6: Let your creations dry for 1-2 days.

It's so easy! Using different food coloring, essential oils, and molds create an endless variety of bath bombs. If you want to go all out, write cute notes and laminate them to give a cute message to the receiver of the bath bomb or put flower petals in the center of the bath bombs for a nice flower bath. 

I hope you enjoy your DIY bath bombs! What scents, colors, and molds do you like?
