DIY Bath Bomb

Hey girl hey! Need a break from sports, studying, and chem homework? Try out this DIY project to keep your mind off the mountain of work you have found yourself buried in.

Need to relax, but you’re in agony because Fort “Misery” doesn’t have a LUSH store? Well now you can make a homemade bath bomb in just 5 simple steps:

Ingredients:

1 cup citric acid

1 cup baking soda

½ cup cornstarch

½ cup melted coconut oil

8-10 drops of essential oil

Spherical mold or paper cupcake liners

Food coloring (optional)

Directions:

1. In a bowl, mix together all of your dry ingredients (citric acid, baking soda, and cornstarch).

2. If you’re using food coloring, add it into the dry ingredients now. Start with just a few drops at a time, and mix until you reach the color intensity that you like.

2. In another bowl, combine your essential oil. While stirring, gradually add these to the bowl of dry ingredients. If you pour too quickly, the liquid will create a reaction with the citric acid.

3. Use your hands to knead everything together inside of the bowl until the ingredients start to form together. The result should feel similar to damp sand (like the kinetic sand in Ms. Mahan’s room!).

4. Scoop the mixture into the mold or paper cupcake liner you’re using, and pack it down tight with a spoon.

5. Let your bath bombs dry for at least 24 hours, and enjoy!
