Bath Bombs for Beginners: How to Make Refreshing Bath Bombs for Relaxation, Stress Reduction, and Better Health Paperback – December 14, 2014

I wasn't familiar of what was a bath bomb until I bought this book, I knew there was something to do with bath so I thought I'd buy this book and see what a bath bomb was all about and I'm glad I bought it. I work out a lot (lift weights and 10K run) so at the end of the day my muscles are all sore but nothing better than soothing sore muscles with a bath bomb shower, not only is great for muscle soreness but also it moisturizes your skin, no need to apply lotion after taking a bath. It's like a spa experience, the explosive therapeutic balls of aromatherapy explode and leave a blanket of fragrance throughout the bathroom and the essential oils can be massaged into the skin. It's a relaxing and reinvigorating moment and the best of all, it doesn't cost much at all to make the bath bombs, it's easy to make them and most ingredients you can find in a supermarket or a local health store. The bath bombs recipes in this book are only guidelines, you can always adjust the ingredients to create your own personalized bath bombs. You plop the bath bombs under the bath faucet to help encourage the effervescent effect. As the water continues to run, the bombs will explode and leaving a smelling fragrance. Now I can relax and my muscles can too.

This ebook was not only easy to follower from a beginner point of view (I've never made bath bombs in my life and always thought it would be difficult), it is written in a way that it naturally flows and makes you want to continue reading it! The natural flow isn't forced, so you don't feel as if you're having to force yourself to read it. A good sign in my opinion and makes it easier for me to convince myself to spend time reading something, if it's enjoyable! If you have any interest in possibly starting the adventure of making your own bath bombs at home, you should really take a few moments to read this book. It explains all of the basics, it even has a few work around ideas if you don't happen to have something.. The recipes are also a great start for the beginner. As this ebook is free, or at least was when I happened across it, I can't see where you would be disappointed by it! Get it, read it, start making your bath bombs today!

This book is really easy to comprehend. I love how its got awesome recipes and helps me understand exactly what I need to do to make some perfect bath bombs. I cannot wait to try some of there recipes out. I plan on making them for me and my family for a bit but who knows maybe once I am no longer a beginner I can start selling them at farmers markets. I use only organic essential oils so thats a plus for anyone. The first chapters are set up for you to get an understanding and appreciation of this art. But then it gives you recipes for healing bombs, relaxing bombs, energizing bombs, romantic ones and so on. Its a really easy read and its only got like 90 pages but its got so many recipes. Plus there is an easter one which I might be trying out soon since easter is right around the corner.

Corn starch is in almost every recipe... and I am allergic. No information about a suitable substitute provided. Corn is one of the major allergens in our times, not to mention that most corn (98%) in the States is GMO. Surely, there has to be a way to make a bath bomb without it.Canola oil is listed as an ingredient in some recipes... I know this is a book about bath bombs, not food. However, our bodies do absorb substances through skin... so, we do "eat" with out skin too... Canola (stands for Canadian Oil, - there is no plant called canola) oil is a toxic oil made from rape seed. It is highly processed and harmful for human health. Its production is harmful for our planet.Finally, the text in this book is poorly edited. Somehow that really turns me off... I was raised with great respect for books. To see a book with multiple grammatical errors in its pages is really disappointing.

This is a very basic list of recipes and a good way to get started. Some of the recipes didn't work for me at first. What helped is when I started to recognize a good consistency by noticing when it stuck together really well like wet sand does. These recipes use a lot of Epsom Salts and corn starch which makes the recipe a bit more crumbly than when you omit them. Also, they stick really bad in the molds and 70% of them would break in half at first before I learned a couple of tricks to lubricate the molds. When they work out, they are super luxuriant and moisturizing in the bath, however, thanks to the Epsom Salt and Corn Starch. BB definitely takes practice and trial and error, would be nice if the book had more trouble shooting tips and tricks.

This book is so helpful and it was a wonderful purchase! I am in love with bath bombs. They always take the edge off after a hard day at the office or a strenuous workout. And they make my skin and bathroom smell amazing. I was spending so much money on them before this book. I'm so happy that I got it. There are so many recipes and even a basic one without the essential oils for those with allergies. Now both my muscles and my wallet are very happy.

I really enjoyed this book. Taking an absolute newbie like myself through the basics of bath bomb creating through to romantic fizz, fun for the kids, personal spa experience and bath bombs for him. Worth the read, folks, with more than 30 recipes to fizz up your bath time.

Great beginners guide to getting you off on the right foot when creating bath bombs...Especially enjoyed the information on what essential oils provide what benefits to the body, mind and soul.Great start to many recipes and the steps it will take to make them.I was just telling my wife that we should make these next year for Christmas and give them to our family and friends......

This book is really cool, its got lots of different recipes in so you have a lot of choice. its a great idea if you wanting to make present for people and you don't know what to get them. I do like how you can add different essential oils to create the smells you like.

Not a bad read so I could help my kids start making them

lots of lovely recipes.

Very clear instructions. Waiting for ingredients to be delivered and I'm ready to go.
