Bath Fizzy DIY Fun

My time that I call for myself and which has kept me sane all these years is my bath time in which I read, relax, and unwind from the day. Sometimes I even sneak in a movie or several episodes of a favorite show while relaxing. 

With taking baths I love bubble baths, bath oils, and bath bombs. They just make it that much more of a special time for just me. With that being said the price on these items can get pretty high, so this is where Pinterest comes in. With a simple search for Bath Bombs Recipes this link came up. Filled with simple to more complicated recipes for bath bombs of all sorts. 

Now you just need to have some kind of mold, we have the above bath bomb molds, but you can use cupcake tins, silicone molds, or anything else you would like to use. I want to work on making some for gifts. Like some with little toys that my youngest daughter and oldest grand daughter like. They will get a kick out of finding a hidden surprise inside. 

I like the metal molds the best because they hold up to constant use. These Bath Bomb Molds from WEBSUN come in three sizes 2 inch, 2.5 inches, and 3 inch. I do want to add a larger on later as we get better at making them but these are great to start with. You mix up your recipe then pack each side with the ingredients and then put both molds together tapping lightly all around the mold then carefully open and remove your Bath Bomb.

Green Gobbler Apple Melon

I love this product for many reasons. The most important being that I don't have to worry about filling landfills with tons of bottles. I  can make 4-8 containers of the Green Gobbler Apple Melon all purpose cleaner with one bottle. I just fill my bottle to the neck area with warm water and put in one green pack for normal cleaning or two for heavy duty cleaning but to be honest I have never had to add 2 but the option is there. You also get 2 microfiber cloths and the bottom of the bottle holds the refills so you never have to worry where you might have stored them, and you can see right away when you need to order more. 

Because of the easy access to the bottom of the bottle I suggest keeping this as well as all cleaners out of reach of children. The spray bottle has an off, stream, and spray setting. This cleaner is great for all around house cleaning, workshop, and garden use. My other favorite part is the price you would be hard pressed to find a deal like this other then at dollar stores or with the use of coupons.

Lasten Wooden Rolling Pin

Love this 15 inch Wooden Rolling Pin from Lasten. It is great for making pie crusts. I have several rolling pins and each serve a different purpose. For me this one is mainly for pie crusts because I just love how it is shaped and it is just the right size for making perfect pie crusts.

NoysPets Cardboard Cat Scratch box

A little something for the kitty lovers out there. This is a great item for kitties who love to scratch. This set comes with a 17x9 frame, two cat scratchers, cat nip, and a cat toy. I love that this can be used either hanging or laying flat on the floor. Kitties all seem to have their own preference. The neat thing about this is that you can actually get 4 uses out of it by flipping each over when the other side is scratched up. 

For new kitties I suggest sprinkling a little cat nip on the cardboard to get them used to scratching this and not your precious furniture or curtains.

Mandala Blue Bohemian Wall Hanging

This is a nice piece of art or home decor. I was planning on using this on the beach, but after seeing how beautiful it is I am not sure. Because of the large size 80x60 inches this can be used for a wall hanging, beach blanket, picnic blanket, bed covering, etc. This is made from polyester so you can expect this to last for years to come. 

I know once my older daughter sees it she is going to want it but this is staying put here. Can not wait to move and start decorating, this is going to be a really nice addition to everything else I have been putting away.
