It's always great to take some time to relax, whether you're by yourself or with friends and family, but when you combine that time with luxury and pampering, it can make the experience even better. For many people, one of the easiest ways to do this is to add a few bath bombs or bomb salts into the mix while they soak away their troubles in the tub or enjoy some alone time in the shower. Here are some tips on creating an enjoyable meditation routine with these luxurious bath bombs. 

DIY Orange Blossom Bath Bombs

It doesn't take much to make bomb salts of your own. For this recipe, you'll need the following: 4 Tablespoons of Citric Acid, 1⁄4 Cup Baking Soda, 4-6 Drops of Essential Oil, 2 Cups Cornstarch, 1 Cup Epsom Salt, and Food Coloring (optional). To get started on your DIY project (these are all essential supplies), take the citric acid and baking soda in a large bowl and mix them until they have an even consistency. Pour it into a medium-sized saucepan and turn up the heat to high. You'll want to stir this mixture frequently until it has cooked for about 5 minutes or until it becomes moist and can be mixed easily.

Stir until fully dissolved. 2. In a medium bowl, mix 1/4 cup finely ground almond meal, 1/4 cup finely ground cornmeal, 3 tablespoons coconut oil, 1 tablespoon ground oatmeal or almond flour, and 2 tablespoons honey, until they are well combined (it will have an oso crumbly texture). Add in your favorite scents like vanilla extract or essential oils like rosemary to enhance the flavor! Then transfer it to your cooking sheet. 

How to Use Bath Bombs in the Shower? 

Pour warm water into the tub or shower. This is to get the bath bomb wet before you take it into the shower so that it doesn't just dissolve and slip through your fingers as soon as you grab it. Once your tub or shower is full, drop in one luxurious bath bombs and let the steam from the hot water activate its scent. If you're not in an area with lots of steam, use a bucket of cold water to pour over your head to generate more vapor. Let the decadent mixture envelop you while you stand under one of these magnificent bombs until they fully dissolve.
