Bath Salts and Bath Fizzies

Bath Salts
1/2 cup Epsom Salts
1/2 cup Baking Soda
Mix Together
Add 4 to 6 drops of Fragrance (you can find this at craft stores in the soap making section)
Mix well
Add 4 to 6 drops of food coloring
Mix well
Stir in 1/2 spoonful of very fine glitter
Makes one cup

Directions for bath:
Add 4 spoonfuls of salts to running water for one full tub.

It is fun to package these in little plastic bags tied with ribbon or raffia and little tags.

Bath Fizzies
Bath salts are a piece of cake - bath fizzies are a little more complicated.
1. Mix 2 Tbsp Citric Acid with 2 Tbsp cornstarch and 1/4 cup baking soda in a bowl.  Add glitter to dry mix if desired.
2.In a separate bowl, mix just less than a 1/4 cup of grapeseed oil with 10-12 drops of fragrance, and 1-2 drops of color (if desired).
3. Slowly pour small amounts of wet mixture into dry mixture until it is the texture of cookie dough.  (You may not have to use all of the wet mixture.)
4. Form mixture into balls and place on waxed paper.
5. Spritz each ball with 1 or 2 sprays of witch hazel.  They will fizz a little at first, but eventually dry to a crust.
6. Allow to dry for 48 hours.

Seems simple, right?  I recommend trying this yourself before doing it with a group.  The trick is finding citric aced.  And nothing else will do.  Really.  I have tried many bath fizzy recipes that don't use citric acid, and they just don't work.  Some say you can find citric acid at the grocery store, or at soap making stores, but I found it at a homebrew/wine making shop.
Good luck!
