Why and How to Make Your Own Bath Bombs

Stock up so you can relax whenever you want

After a long day, very few things are as relaxing as taking the perfect bath. That might include setting the mood with just the right candle, turning on a "spa music" playlist, and dropping a cosmic bath bomb into the water. Or maybe your kid has refused to take a bath for several days and you're getting desperate and think a color filled bath bomb might just be the ticket.

But, that store-bought bath bomb might turn your long-awaited bath into a stew of chemicals that might not be so great for you.
