These bombs are really great ones! I allowed them to set for 40 hours in heart-shaped molds. I stored them in a cool and dry place to set in my room and my room smelt really nice that day. I made these as a gift for my mom for the Navratri festival that is going on presently, and she loved them, especially the beautiful green colour that was released into the hot water when I dropped the bomb
I used lemon, orange and jasmine essential oils and green food colour. I added 2 teabags of chamomile herbs, 3 tbsps. of powdered cinnamon and red and yellow glitter. I got the citric acid from the pharmacy as it wasn't available in our Asian grocery store. The pharmacist gave it to me with a very sad expression and said he wished that the burning sensation I was suffering in my urine would stop. LOL. I can't tell you how shocked and taken aback I was that day. It took me quite some time to control myself from going into fits of laughter and to explain to him that I needed the citric acid for an aromatherapy treatment and not for a medical problem That guy had my family and me laughing for hours together and we always will remember this recipe for the fun, giggles and smiles it brought into our lives. Thanks for sharing it, Marli! Definitely a keeper!

I've been making these bath bombs for about a month now, and it's been a wonderful experience. I do this together with my 14 year old Dornette and we have such a fun time together making up different kinds of bath bombs. The only change we make to the original recipe is that I find that more oil is needed in order for the baking soda and citric acid to become "pack-able". Our favorite so far is vanilla, with orange-ginger a close second. I've also found that a great use for these little babies is as a closet freshener. Thanks Marli, we love making these!
