I always wish I had more time to DIY stuff and my Pinterest and notebooks are full of ideas I never have time to actually do. This time I decided to go for it and we ended up having so much fun with my daughter on this small but lovely project.
As we have a bathtub, doing bath bombs seemed fun and easy enough to execute after a long workday. I found the recipe from a magazine I bought from a flea market and all the ingredients seemed pretty easy to find too.
The main ingredients are baking soda and citron acid (to make the fizzing effect) and some oil to tie it together and to caress your skin. After that, the only limit is your imagination. I was surprised at how easy this whole process was.
We used coconut oil with lime because that we already had in our cupboard, citron acid I bought from a pharmacy and baking soda can be found in any grocery store. To add some scent and beauty, we mixed it up with peppermint essential oil, dried hibiscus flowers, and loose Christmas tea.
The results amazed both of us and were, of course, tested immediately too. So easy, lovely and without any unnecessary chemicals. And look how gorgeous those look!
DIY bath bombs
2 dl baking soda 1 dl citron acid 1 1/2 tablespoons of coconut oil 1 1/2 tablespoons of water a random amount of other ingredients (tea, dried flowers etc.)
Mix everything up, starting with the acid and soda. The mixture is ready when it feels like wet sand in your hands. Put it in some molds (we used an ice cube tray) and let dry overnight.
Take an instagrammable photo and enjoy your bath! ♡
I document and reflect my life in many ways but one of the most insightful is definitely monthly review. I tried different versions of this and last year it finally molded in this form as it is now. For February I just finished doing my monthly review so now it’s a great time to tell …
Sometimes we forget what makes us spark and end up in the endless loop of mundane tasks which leave us exhausted and with feeling that we haven’t done anything. I have some thoughts about that and a small challenge for you today, dive in!
All the products I design have a story behind them. Some longer than others and some more important. That goes also with client work. I think there should always be the story, the reason, the why before anything is designed, established or branded.
It’s the fifth of January and it feels like I’ve already done so much. I tried to avoid overplanning at the beginning of the year but it doesn’t take away the energy wave I’m currently riding on (and which keeps me awake at night too). In good and in bad.
