Everyone loves a good bath bomb to unwind after a stressful day, but Feeling Smitten takes it to the next level. The Feeling Smitten team got their start in 2007 in Tacoma, Washington, and have been whipping up sweet bath treats ever since. From their signature cupcake bombs to other confectionery bath concoctions, we love the whimsy that comes with every fizz. Feeling Smitten was a hot seller for us this Valentine's Day and we hope you guys continue to love it like we do!

Turn an everyday soak in the tub into a bubbling bath cocktail with a shot of effervescent salt fizz! Full of oils and soothing natural ingredients to soften skin long after you've stepped out of the bath, this is one nightcap you'll want to savor.

Ingredients: 1 Cup Rock Salt  1 Tsp. Essential Oil #1, 1/2 Tsp. Essential Oil #2 1 Tsp. Food Coloring #2, 1/2 Tsp. Food Coloring #2 1 T Foaming Concentrate 1 T citric acid

Spread on wax paper and let dry.  3. Repeat with another color and scent. It might take a day or two so be patient. 4. When dry (it will be a bit tacky feeling), layer the colors into a glass jar. Reap the rewards of aromatherapy and colortherapy while hiding from the world in your bathtub.

Here's a hunka bubbling bath bliss for ya, a virtual chunk of Jacuzzi! Learn how to make this naturally-scented bath fizzy full of soothing oils and softening salts just for you to enjoy!

Steps:

Combine dry ingredients. Mix all the wet ingredients together and SLOWLY add to dry mixture. Be careful not to add the wet ingredients too quickly, otherwise the mix will start fizzing. Once this happens, the mixture is ruined. The mixture should be toward the dry end. It should look like lightly damp sand. Firmly press mixture into the mold. Allow to set for 30 seconds. Unmold. You may have to tap the mold slightly for it to pop out. Allow to dry 24 hours prior to using. Then drop one in the tub- and relax!
