Packed with oil(s), bath bombs can supple the skin and relieve workout tensions. They are fun and inexpensive to make.

If you have never seen bath bombs, Lush, an International upscale bath salon, carries an assortment of bath bombs. Here’s what they look like.

To make bath bombs, you will need:

1) Molds - I’ve used ice cube trays in the past, and they’ve worked just fine. But I got these cheap tart molds at a local thrift store called Daiso -2 molds for $1.50.

2) Citric Acid - This is the same ingredient that makes soft drinks fizzle.

3) A Few Tablespoons of “Healing” Oil - Olive oil will work just fine. I use apricot oil, which has a soft lingering sweet scent.

4) EO (Essential Oil) - Lemon, orange, rosemary, or lavender will work.

5) Some Paper Bags - It will get messy.

6) One recipe which you can download from this site.

7) Some imagination and creativity. Voila!

Pamper yourself and enjoy!
