Unwind in Luxury: DIY Bath Bombs for a Fraction of the Cost
Imagine sinking into a warm, bubbly bath, surrounded by soothing aromas and gentle colors. Sounds like bliss, doesn’t it? With the magic of bath bombs, this indulgent experience is now within reach – without breaking the bank.
The High Price of Relaxation
Store-bought bath bombs can set you back a whopping $6-$10 each. Ouch! But what if I told you that you can create an entire batch of these pampering treats for under $3? Yes, you read that right!
The Secret to Affordable Bliss
Making your own bath bombs is surprisingly easy. The most crucial ingredient? Citric acid, readily available at any health food store. From there, you can customize your creations with your favorite essential oils. Lavender for a calming kid’s bath, perhaps, or eucalyptus to help clear up a cold?
Get Creative with Essential Oils
For this recipe, I opted for grapefruit scented oil, and the result is nothing short of amazing. My bathwater is transformed into a refreshing summer oasis! With endless oil options, the possibilities are endless.
Make Your Own Bath Bombs
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 cup baking soda
- ½ cup citric acid
- 2 tablespoons Epsom salt
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 10-15 drops essential oil of your choice
- 1 teaspoon water
- 3-5 drops food coloring
- Bath bomb molds or silicone molds
The Simple Process
