Bath Bomb success

We had our first success with Bath Bombs! Perfectly round, no cracks and smelling delicious. O.k, Only one of the dozen or more we made turned out that way but who is counting?

With each batch we are learning. Our recent attempt was affected by a slight change in recipe from the original. As we mentioned in an earlier post that recipe lacked SLSA. According to information we read the amount of SLSA depends on the amount of Baking Soda used. In this case it was six cups which according to the rules meant six tablespoons of SLSA. This caused a problem as there was no mention of adding more oil to balance the ingredients. We took it upon ourselves to add two more tablespoons of oil......MISTAKE 😜 Basically we ended up with a mixture that was too wet. The Bath Bombs came out beautifully but took forever to dry and some expanded and refused to leave their mould. There were a lot of tears and hair pulling involved 🤣

Next time we will use witch hazel to wet the Bath Bombs instead of adding more oil. We will let you know how that goes.

Bathing Duck Bath Bombs

We have seen photos of Bathing Duck soaps but never on a Bath Bomb. Sometimes our head is swimming with ideas....excuse the pun 😜 We used a shot glass for a mould and then topped them with bath whipping foam, coloured Epsom salt and a cute rubber duck. These would be great for gender reveal gifts! Children’s parties or upcoming Easter gifts.

Bubble Bars

This week we attempted Bubble Bars for the first time. A resounding success 😍 The recipe was purchased from Two Wild Hares on Etsy and was worth every cent ( or scent 😜) I tried my first Bubble Bar bath this morning and was thrilled with the result. I only used half of the bar and the tub was overflowing with gorgeous bubbles. I haven’t had a bubble bath in years as I was concerned with the amount of dubious ingredients in most products sold in stores. Our own Bars consist of Bicarb, glycerine, cocoa Butter, cornstarch, cream of tartar, SLSA, mica and fragrance. We are looking forward to attempting different shapes and colours. Although in saying that we love our little ice cream styled scoops.
