I’ve always loved a good, hot bath. You know, the kind that makes your body completely red and you’re kind of sweating when you get out of the tub? Those kind. One of the few ways I always get “me time” is to take a bath after my daughter goes to bed every night. I may not always whip out the champagne, candles and bubbles every night, but I do enjoy a nice soak and quick read of a new book I’ve been reading. I’ve always loved bath accessories but rarely keep more than epsom salts on hand, mostly because fun stuff like bath bombs are just too expensive! But like any good DIYer, I’m always up for making something myself! Instead of wasting all that money on bath bombs that are only good for one use, try out these DIY bath bomb recipes!

1. Epsom Salt Bath Bombs
A good bath bomb actually doesn’t need that many ingredients, and that’s especially true with this epsom salt version. The main ingredients are epsom salts, baking soda, corn starch, citric acid and coconut oil. If you want to make them a little fancier, you can add essential oils for fragrance and food coloring or soap dye for color.
