Today was such a LOVELY day in Tampa, FL, so I decided to take my craft outside under my patio (easy clean-up, no angry mom, etc...) and take some pictures of the ingredients I use to make my Bonnie Bombs!
Here are all my basic ingredients and supplies I use to make my bath bombs....We've got a mixing bowl, measuring cup, various skin oils, organic powdered milk, baking soda, citric acid, jasmine essential oil, and a liquid dropper
These are the oils I'm going to use in this batch to give my customer super soft skin. I'm using NOW products that I get from a local nutrition store. Here we have 100% Pure Shea Butter, Sweet Almond Oil, and Castor Oil. I melt them all together in a small bowl and let them cool while I mix my baking soda and citric acid...
In this particular batch, I'm also adding some organic powdered milk to make my customer's skin even softer! Something that's different about my bath bomb making than other people is that I use water instead of witch hazel to get my mixture moist enough to hold together. I've read sooooo many recipes that say "NOT TO USE WATER," because it will set off the reaction early, and "you don't want that." Lol, I'm not sure why I don't want that, but it seems to set off the reaction JUST ENOUGH to hold my bombs together super tight. Especially when I add some powdered milk to my bath bombs, adding water makes it just milky enough to make it moist enough to hold together.
Finally, I'm going to add some Jasmine scented Essential Oil to the mix. Jasmine is great at relieving stress and is very therapeutic, plus it is also a very popular scent, which will hopefully help my sales =D.
I will post another blog soon with the final product! I would also like to apologize to anyone who was offended by my picture of the sky in Tampa today. It's not my fault it doesn't snow here XP
