Homemade Shower/Bath Bombs


I recently came across the idea to make homemade shower and bath bombs online. I have a teen daughter that absolutely loves to take baths and could spend a small fortune in Lush. I have tons of essential oils and it seemed easy enough to do so I gave it a try.


Pictured above are all the supplies that you will need:

1 cup of baking soda
1/3 cup of water
2-3 drops of each essential oil of your choice
silicon baking mold
bowl to mix it in

I used the following oils as we are fighting colds nonstop this winter...


Directions:

Measure 1 cup of baking soda in mixing bowl.
Slowly add water, stirring constantly.
It should stick together and form a paste.
Then drop 2-3 drops each of whatever essential oils you prefer.
Pour into molds.


Heat for 40 minutes in a 200 degree oven.
Cool for 5 minutes.
They pop right out of the molds.


Package them up pretty and they make great teacher gifts!

Happy Pink Saturday! I have been going thru my summer photos and I came across this cool shot of my DD in her bright pink shirt in front of the M in MMOCA...Miami Museum of Contemporary Art. And another on a floor of records... And this is a shot of the family in front of La Carretta cuban restaurant in Little Havana. I rooster smoking a cigar. Gotta love it. :) This turned into a where in the world is the little girl in the pink tank top post but it was fun to relive those summer vacation memories again. I hope you have a Pinkalicious Saturday!

Craftiness & a Holiday Headstart

These are on their way to some friends for whom I am very grateful to have in my life. :) I got this as a gift from Sweet Mellie who was my Secret Santa last year but didn't have enough time to make it so I made it today. Isn't it CUTE!? I plan on filling the draws with little treats for the kiddos to enjoy each day leading up to and including Christmas Day. Should be FUN. I noticed that I put holly berries in the middle of my flowers instead of regular old brads but it's too late now. Them suckers are glue dotted on. :O I think I got my Christmas card photo!!!!!! What do you think?

Color of the Week - Orange

This year our annual pumpkin picking trip took us to Barton Orchards up in Pauquag. It's a bit of a drive but they make picking an event. Hayrides, corn maze, petting zoo, farmer's market and even apples...tons of apples. We picked a couple of pumkins and a bag of apples. It was a gorgeous day. But I think the best part for the kiddos was this slide they built into a mountain. It was underground and pretty long. I was able to get some cool shots of them coming out of it. Neat, huh? A sea of pumpkins. How's that for an orange photo? Dylan and his pick. :) Natty and her pick. :)
