SHOWER BOMBS HOW-TO:
Supplies:
- 1/2 cup citric acid
- 1 cup baking soda
- Eucalyptus essential oil, 20-30 drops
- Peppermint essential oil, 10-20 drops
- Ice cube tray or other mold
- Spritz bottle or spray bottle with water
In a bowl, mix the citric acid and baking soda together with a whisk.
Add peppermint essential oil (approximately 10 drops) and eucalyptus essential oil (approximately 20 drops). You can add more or less depending on how strong of a fragrance you desire.
Begin spritzing the mixture. Only spritz once at a time and mixing in between until you get a crumbly mixture. (Approximately 10 spritzes.) If you spritz too many times in between mixing the mixture will begin to fizz, which means you are getting it too wet too fast.
