Here's what you need -
½ cup cornflour
¼ cup Epsom salt
1 cup bicarbonate soda
½ cup citric acid
¾ tbsp water
2¾ tbsp coconut oil
A few drops of your favourite pure essential oil
optional, moulds
optional, dried flowers
optional, natural colouring
Here's what to do -
Sift all of the dry ingredients together.
In a separate mixing bowl mix all of the wet ingredients.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and quickly whisk together as the mixture will fizz. Keep whisking until the mixture resembles wet sand consistency.
Now you can begin moulding your bliss balls, you may mould them into balls with your hands or use a mould for a more uniform finish.
Set the bliss bombs aside to dry overnight.
Think about the mood you would like to create to decide which essential oil/s to add. If you want a relaxing, soothing experience good choices are lavender, bergamot, yang ylang and vetiver. For a more invigorating bath add grapefruit, orange or peppermint. When you add your bliss ball to the water, it will fizz and dissolve, releasing the delightful aroma of the essential oils along with the Epsom salts and coconut oil. Your body will be revitalised and your skin silky smooth, enjoy! You can purchase DoTerra essential oils at the studio. Find out why diffusing essential oils is good for your health.
