It is that time of the year when you begin to see the big box stores fill there shelves with bath baskets and such. Wouldn't it be an even better gift if you created the basket yourself? These easy DIY bath bombs are done in under an hour and you can easily customize them to the person you are giving it to. Do not forget to make extras of them all for yourself.

I am not really sure if I can actually get my hands on the packaging used for apples. I understand what it is for but I am hoping a muffin tin will be sufficient.

I was wanting to make some bath bombs for gifts this year and never realized it was this easy. I love using essential oils and would love making gifts for others to see their benifits. The tutorial is a good one to follow but there is no video as said. There is also a chart to show what oils to use for a few aliments. Lavender is alwaysa good option for evening relaxxation.

This bath Bomb looks really nice. But can I use Himalayan salt instead of Epsom salt for this recipe. I have Himalayan salt on hand and I use it in cooking. I have heard so much about its benefits for body and skin. So I really want to try this bath bomb recipe using Himalayan salt. If you want to know about this this salt then you can visit ittefaq.co .

I LOVE using tea tree oil and lavender. It's very refreshing and calming!
