good call on the yma and kahlua combo!

I suggest a white russian with vanilla vodka...

Hi John

A bathbomb is compacted bicarb soda, citric acid, esential oil, food colouring and almond oil. All ingrediants are combined in a specific order. Mixture is then packed/pressed into a mold. Then invert the mold onto a tray and allowed to dry out.

Run your bath as normal, get comfortable and with a dry hand add a 'bomb' it will fizz. When placed strategically the fizzing can give a wonderful alternative massage.

If you'd like a recipe to experiment with - different colours, fragrances, shapes etc let me know and I'll post it here.

THey also make great gifts and easy for children to make.

PS Never too late to have ideas for next year.

Bathbombs are super-concentrated balls of bath bubbles, salts or lots of other good smelling stuff that's fun to watch "explode" as they dissolve in the tub. I like to get the kind that releases tiny rose petals, they smell wonderful and look really pretty.

Hint: if you get a bath bomb that has stuff like petals or seaweed and don't like to pick stuff out of your drain after bathing, put the bomb into a nylon kneesock and tie shut before dropping it into the tub!
