DIY Bath Bombs

Everyone loves bath bombs! I live on an island where its almost impossible to get my hands on them without shipping. So I decided to do a little research and share with you what I have found. This is a quick and easy way to make your own bath bombs, the best part is that you can customize them exactly to your liking. You'll need baking soda, citric acid, corn starch, Epsom salt, food coloring, a plastic mold, caster oil and essential oil of your choice for scent. The plastic mold could be an Easter egg or old Christmas ornament.

* First mix dry ingredients in a bowl: 1/2 cup baking soda, 1/4 cup Epsom salt, 1/4 cup corn starch, 1/4 cup of citric acid.

* Mix wet ingredients in a different bowl: 3 teaspoons caster oil, 1 tablespoon of essential oil, drops of food coloring, table spoon of water.

* Pour the liquid mixture in to the bowl with the dry mixture, very slowly mixing as you go.

* Fill plastic mold with mixture.

* Close the mold.

* Let it dry overnight or in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes.

* Tap both sides of mold and take out bath bomb.

*  Enjoy! :)
