Shower Bombs

I decided to go back when things are handmade, And mean a lot because, Its that thought that counts. These items I made was all homemade.

First I made some Shower Bombs you may ask what are they ,well they are little disks that are made with Eucalyptus Essential Oil and the scent helps you breath like Vicks Vapor Rub but its a shower bomb style.

Shower Bombs

1 c. Baking Soda
1/2 c. Cornstarch
1/3-1/2 c. Water +add more or less
15 drops of Eucalyptus Essential Oil 
2 Ice cube trays

Mix using enough water to make a thick paste. You can pour into muffin tins lined with papers, make small balls and set on a plate or put into a silicone ice cube tray or muffin tray. Let them set for at least 12 hours or overnight to dry. You can bake them in the oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes to dry them more quickly. Remove from papers or silicone trays and store in an airtight container.
I didn't put them into the oven, I left them out for 2-3days till they where non wet, and they was dry.
I made 2 batches to fit in 2 ice cube trays.
*When ready to use, place a disc on the floor of your shower and let the water run on it while showering

DYI Dryer Sheets

I decided to give this a try why not sounds pretty simple that I can make without messing it up LOL.


What You'll Need:
  • 1/2 cup of Vinegar
  • 8 drops tea tree or other essential oil (I used 100% pure Lavender)
  • Sealable container
  • Cotton cloths ie: old towels, inexpensive dish towels from the dollar store or old tee shirts, linens.
Directions:
  1. Start by cutting your towels, tee shirts, linens dish towels, into smaller sections. I used an old towel.
  2. Mix together the vinegar and essential oil in a small bowl. Vinegar is a natural softener, and the essential oil gives your clothes a gentle, natural scent. Pour the mixture over the cloths until they are dampened but not soaked. Keep in a securely closed container.
  3. To use, simply remove a sheet from the container, squeezing any excess liquid back into the jar, and toss into the dryer. To reduce static cling in clothes, reduce the heat temperature of your dryer. When clothes are dry, simply place the sheet back in the jar for use later.
