So Santa was good to you and tucked a fizzy bath bomb in your stocking, eh? And you've had that yummy champagne-bubbled bath and now you want more. But what's in those things, really? How "green" are they? And how can you have an endless supply of them without having to refrain from being naughty all year?
Turns out most of the bath bombs made by Lush Cosmetics, who makes more varieties than anyone in the universe, are fairly "natural"/organic. Some are even vegan. But you have to pick and choose carefully, and they may contain dyes and fragrances. Plus, they're about $6 a pop, and that adds up fast, at least at the rate people are bathing in my house.
So make your own. It looks easy. Are you with me?
The basic recipe involves mixing baking soda, citric acid*, and a few drops of whatever organic essential oil makes you swoon, then spritzing it with a bit of witch hazel** before packing it quickly into molds. Sounds easy, yes?
Then you can get fancier. Mold them into different shapes. Or add some oils for moisturizing power. Make them en masse and give them as midwinter gifts. Add botanicals like flower petals or lavender buds. But above all, have fun. And toss one into a bath with a friend. The rose is optional.
*Citric acid is generally regarded as safe (it's used as a food additive); just don't get it in your eyes, okay?
**Witch hazel is plant-based; it's used medicinally and its seeds can be eaten. Pretty safe stuff.

If I speak in the Cheap Authentic NFL Jerseys tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all Official NFL Jerseys knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my USA Jerseys Shop body to the flames,but have not love, I gain nothing.Love is patient, NFL Jerseys love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it NHL Jerseys keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always MLB Jerseys hopes, always perseveres.Love never NHL Hockey Jerseys fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in MLB Baseball Jerseys part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappea. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a NBA Basketball Jerseys man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.And now these three remain: faith, hope and NFL Football Jerseys love. But the greatest of these is love.
