Ok. So, whenever I am in a WHSmiths be it for cards or the post office, I am always dram to the craft magazine area. Of course, one time I came home with an entire stack of craft magazines. Some about beading others about how to make DIY beauty products. One idea was making bath bombs. There is a multitude or recipes around. Some very easy to make with what you already have at home some more elaborate.
So, I scoured the internet for recipes a little more advanced than baking soda and cornflour and a little less complex than the generally beloved lush bath bombs.
I stumbled over a recipe, that seemed
easy enough and having tried it several times now, I would say bath bombs are
fairly easy to make and the results are quite nice.
What I like with making bath bomb is
that I get to play around with essential oils and scents. There are so many combinations
for every sort of occasion and with every kind of effect.
Personally, I like all sorts of citrus
scents, and I am a big fan of lavender and rose scents. Last week I mixed lavender,
eucalyptus and ylang ylang. It made for quite a nice scent.
Some tricks
I press some of the mixture into the forms
up to halfway then I fill up both forms and press them. This way I get out some
stable balls ready to use.
I mix the dry ingredients and the wet
ingredients in separate bowls before mixing the contents of the bowls. I try to
be quick while mixing. It takes a while to mix everything thoroughly. Ideally the
mixture starts clumping up like wet sand as you press it.
What is your favourite scent in bathroom
products?
I am looking forward to reading your comments.
