Easy Bath Fizzies

We are back from our little break and are feeling refreshed! We hope you all had a great holiday! We don't know about you, but after all the holiday excitement we are definitely ready for a little relaxation and pampering. We came across this recipe for Easy Bath Fizzies that fit the bill perfectly! While there are many similar recipes out there, we like this one because it does not contain citric acid, which can sometimes be tricky to find. This one uses things you probably already have on hand!

What You Need:

• 1/2 cup baking soda
• 4 drops essential oil (we chose peppermint!)
• 4 drops lemon juice
• 8 Tbsp. witch hazel
• spray bottle
• silicone molds (ice cube trays are a great size)

First, put your baking soda in a bowl and set aside. Then mix your oil, lemon juice, and witch hazel in the spray bottle (this allows you to better control the amount of moisture you add). Spray the witch hazel mixture onto your baking soda, stirring as you go. Keep adding more until the baking soda starts to sticks together (about the consistency of wet sand).

Press the baking soda mixture into your mold. We chose beach-themed ones - what's more relaxing than the beach?

Carefully pop your new Bath Fizzies onto a plate. Many of ours broke during this step, so if that happens for you simply scoop the mixture up and press into your molds again. We found that simpler shapes worked better. Let them dry for several hours or overnight. Then drop one or two into your bath and enjoy some much-needed relaxation!
