diy bath bombs pleasure in simple things

Special occasions are cause to celebrate and a great time for a little self-indulgence.

I have a very special occasion coming up…my daughter’s pinning ceremony and graduation.  My “baby” will soon be officially pinned as a nurse and then receive her undergraduate nursing degree – all in the same weekend!

Most times when I visit my daughter, I stay with her in her apartment.  It is a special treat when, instead, we stay in a hotel.  Last time this occurred, we made a trip to Lush (a natural beauty product shop) to pick out special bath bombs from Lush’s huge selection to make full use of the hotel bathtub!

With a special hotel visit coming up, I decided to create homemade bath bombs to bring as a surprise to my daughter to use in the hotel bath during our stay.

Not having any experience in creating natural beauty products, I looked to Ecobeauty from last April’s giveaway book to utilize one of the many recipes from Lauren and Janice Cox’s book.  I discovered bath bombs are easy to create and, I like to think, can rival any similar product sold at Lush!

The materials can be purchased at a grocery store or natural foods store.  By following the directions in Ecobeauty, I was surprised at how quick and easy I could create such great results!  At first it seemed a little strange to me to add sprinkles, but I was instantly relieved when the recipe in the book read  “Don’t worry; the sprinkles will dissolve in the tub!”  (I plan on keeping the silicone cupcake holders solely for beauty product use.)

I love the way they came out …I think the cupcake design is adorable!  I packaged them like real bakery cupcakes to bring on the big graduation trip!  I think they would also make great favors for a bridal shower or a gal’s get together.  I cannot wait to give one to my daughter!  Of course I may need to test one before I do. ;)
