Misty’s Bath Bomb Recipe

I have a recipe for bath bombs and I think they are wonderful:

1/2 cup Epsom salt
1 cup baking soda
1/2 cup citric acid
1/2 cup corn starch
1/2 cup olive oil

Blend all dry ingredients together and add olive oil and mix well until you see the consistency of pastry dough. (It sticks together.) Add 10 to 20 drops of your favorite E.O. You can separate the batch in half and scent separately. Roll your mixture like you would a meatball. Let them sit out on wax paper for approximately 24 hours to dry. Mine were a little wet and it took longer for them to dry. When dry simply drop them into your bath water, and enjoy.
