These non-toxic bath bombs are the perfect way for you to show those around you how much you care. Take 10 minutes to create this perfect DIY gift – or keep them for yourself!
Why DIY non-toxic bath bombs?
I’m going to be honest with you – we’re less than a week away from Christmas and I’m still compiling my presents! I know, I know – I should have planned a bit better this year. Knowing I was up against the clock, I wanted to make something so I knew I wouldn’t have to bother with shipping or returns. Thus – DIY bath bombs were something I knew would show my appreciation AND help my friends and family unwind.
These bath bombs are made with lavender essential oils. Lavender itself is such a versatile oil – it’s in skin products and it can be diffused at the end of the day to help you unwind. Who doesn’t need more relaxation in their life?
Lavender is also fresh and floral. It’s a beautiful scent and I wanted to be sure my friends and family were able to experience it this year.

Why make your own beauty products?
There has been so much come out about the American beauty industry in the last few years. And honestly, health in general.
We decided to start making our own beauty products because of my husband’s career.
As a career fireman, he is exposed to many toxins. So we wanted to get back to the basics and use ingredients that were as close to how God created them!
I have since created my own lotion bars, brown sugar sugar scrub, and more!
Turns out, creating your own beauty products in addicting!
