Bath Bombs

by Elaine Stavert

A warm, relaxing bath is the ultimate cozy treat for unwinding after a hard day , or when muscles ache, or when winter holds everything in its icy grip. Bath worshippers everywhere will love the 15 bath bomb recipes contained in this book; they will transform bath time from an enjoyable experience to one that is truly pampering. A bath bomb is made from just three main citric acid, bicarbonate of soda and water, which are mixed together, molded and left to dry hard . When popped into a warm bath, the resulting ‘bomb’ fizzes and effervesces as it is immersed in the water, releasing any aromatic oils, herbs and butters you may have added to the mixture, and leaving the water fragrantly scented, soft and moisturizing.  The easy-to-follow instructions in this book will show you how to make a variety of delightful, aromatic bath bombs. We’re sure you will enjoy making them and, more importantly, using them.

This was a great book - really useful in helping me make the bath bomb base, and it gave me loads of tips for scents, shapes etc. I really enjoyed reading about different butter and oils, and the history bit at the beginning. Everything was enjoyable to read and the pictures were so pretty, sometimes I read it when I'm not even making any bath bombs.

Overall, instructions were very clear and it would be a good book to have for both beginners like me and people who know a little more about what they're doing. The book smells good too, although perhaps I just like the smell of ink.
