Looking for cheap bath bombs~!

[Guest guest]

thanks for this bath bomb recipe! Is the citric acid used to

preserve it? I have been trying to make bath salts, with essential

oils, but I noticed that after a short time they seem to

smell " off. " Any suggestions for bath salts? Do the bath bombs help

soften skin? what else are they good for? (therapeutically>)

the citric acid is used to produce the fizz~ and the recipe is just a cheap

starting place where the girls will be able to afford ingred~you can find

plenty of luxury recipes on line, just google bath bomb recipes~

 

I'm NO expert on Bath Salts~ lol~ my dd makes them and they are wonderful~

she's like 14 ~ Mine suck~ get hard and drive me nuts~

I even purchased a ebook about bath salts since I suck so bad, but haven't

really studied it yet, since dd does mine~I'm so sorry, but I'm sure someone

else will check in and help

I have just watched on youtube Kathy from Coastal Scents showing step

by step how to make bath ball fizzies, and thought you might find it

interesting and helpful.

Here is the link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOY7QFOVv6A & feature=related

Just in case if the link would not work, type in the search engine on

youtube " How to make Bath Bomb Fizzy's " and it should come up.

 

Btw, hello everyone, this is my first post here, although I am keeping

an eye on you guys for a very long time, and just want to say thanks

for all the wonderful posts on here.
