DIY Sweet Almond Oil Bath Bombs

March 22, 2021

Who else loves a nice relaxing soak in the tub? I think most people are “Team Bath” or “Team Shower.” I’m personally Team Bath all the way! Nothing beats a long soak in a tub filled with fragrances that are relaxing or comforting to your particular taste. My preference has always been sweet foodie types of scents. Florals and strong scents tend to give me a headache, so I try to avoid those. Anything with sweet almond oil as the main note is probably the biggest hit with me. This is why I’m here today to walk you through the steps in making DIY sweet almond oil bath bombs. I promise that you’ll be hooked on these too if you give them a try. With these easy to follow instructions, you’ll be making bath bombs for yourself and for gifts in no time!

Most of the ingredients used to make bath bombs can already be found in your home. You can find the few extras on Amazon or at a local craft type of store. I have a few links below in case you need to make a purchase or two.

4. Add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture very slowly, drop by drop, while whisking. If you do not
do this slowly, or don’t whisk while adding the liquid, you will activate the “fizz”, and will have to
start from scratch.

5. Once liquid has been added, whisk very well, until you have a mixture the texture of damp sand.

6. Stuff each half of the mold with mixture, secure the two halves, and twist slightly, dusting off any excess mixture. Let them set for about 24 hours to allow the bath bombs to harden.
8. To remove from mold, twist slightly. Toss in your bath and enjoy!!

What I love about homemade bath bombs is that you can use any color mica powder to personalize them however you want. Make them your favorite color or a color to match a certain holiday or occasion. In addition, you can use whatever scent you like when making bath bombs by changing up the essential oils to your preference. Lastly, you can use any shape you want to make bath bombs. You just use the mold you want. This can be fun for different holidays and occasions as well.

Most importantly, have fun when you make your bath bombs and enjoy soaking in the tub for the ultimate in relaxation.

    Hi Stacie, I absolutely love your post! I have been wanting to make my own bath bombs instead of getting it from Lush. Your recipe is so fun and easy to make! I was wondering besides almond oil, would you recommend using any other oil? I have recently heard about marula or rosehip oil. https://sowourplanet.com/marula-oil-vs-rosehip-oil/ It would be an amazing idea to add other beauty oil to “soak” in the benefits!

    Thank you once again for such great post!!!!

Running quick errands on a hot day calls for a loose fitting dress and comfortable sneakers.

Summer isn’t quite ready to leave, but I’m already Summer isn’t quite ready to leave, but I’m already reaching for rich fall colors. 🍂

#ad One of my favorite ways to transition into fall is by layering lightweight pieces from @soft_surroundings that keep me comfortable on warm afternoons but are also perfect for when the temperatures start to cool down. It’s an easy way to ease into the next season.

These warm, earthy colors feel so timeless, and each piece can be mixed and matched with other wardrobe favorites.

Do you have a favorite fashion season?

I started with an eyeshadow palette that has a variety of textures and shades in the rose family to create a million different looks. And yes, you can wear shimmers and whatever else makes you feel confident even if you’re a more mature woman.😎

You can’t go wrong any of the makeup brushes from BK Beauty to apply and blend your makeup. This eyeshadow brush is one of many that I love.

The foundation stick is new for me and I’m wondering where it’s been my whole life! It’s that good. Just swipe, blend and go. Available in so many shades that there’s one for everyone!🙌🏻

Adding depth and glow to the face couldn’t be easier with a multitasking palette of bronzer, highlighter and blush. It’s perfect for travel too.✨

The lip glow is fun because it’s a pH reactive one so it’s almost like having a custom shade that’s just for you.
