makes about 8 cupcake sized bombs
What you need:
1C baking Soda
3/4C corn starch

5-10 drops of essential oil (I like lavender or peppermint)
Spray bottle filled with a little water
Molds or cupcake tins and liners
How to:
Mix dry ingredients. Spray about 10 squirts of water. It will fizz a little, so mix quickly so the powder doesn't lose all of it's fizzle. Firmly pack damp mixture into molds or lined tins. Place in fridge overnight. The "bombs" are fragile so carefully remove and package.
To use:
Drop bath bomb into warm tub. It will fizz and release the minerals into your tub. Soak and enjoy!

DEEP PORE CLEANSER
What you need:
1TBSP apple cider vinegar
3TBSP water
How to:
Combine ingredients. Use a cottonball to sponge on dry skin. No need to rinse off.
*This simple solution will clean out your pores and minimize their appearance. Use 2-3 times a week. If you have sensitive skin, add more water to vinegar and use less frequently.
ANTI-AGING EYE & FACE CREAM
What you need:
2TBSP pure coconut oil
1/2 tsp Vitamin E Oil
Optional: Evening Primrose Oil (Pop a hole in 4 capsules and squeeze oil out)
