One of my personal goals for this year was to try and write more thank you notes. I know that it seems as though at this point, with email and text and so forth, that that type of communication is a bit outdated. I just always feel that anything made by hand for someone you care for means so much more than anything you can spend a ton of money on. I recently was gifted some homemade bath salts and for the first time in as long as I can recall, I have started taking long, hot baths. It is so incredibly relaxing and stress relieving for me, that I wanted to find something simple you can make at home for someone you care for this Valentine's Day.
Mix the dry ingredients first and then add the liquid.
8 oz baking soda
4 oz citric acid (lemon juice makes a great substitute)
4 oz cornstarch (or flour)
4 oz bath salts (or Epsom salt)
1 tbsp water
4 tbsp oil
assorted food coloring or sprinkles etc that will dissolve in the hot water
The lemon juice altered the color of the mixture a bit so be aware of that. Divide into separate bowls and add desired colors. We stayed with red and pinks.
You can use formed cups of any kind or simply PACK TIGHTLY into cupcake pans.
It needs to dry overnight for best results. Flip out of the pan, and wrap as gifts or drop into the bath for your own little escape.
Rub a dub dub.
