Bath Bombs without citric acid OR cream of tartar - Check it out!

It all started when I went to my friend's house last night: we were listening to music on the computer in her room and saw an old spa science kit that she had and decided to try it out! We did all sorts of fun things like salt scrubs and perfumes and we also did homemade bath bombs. I thought that it was so fun that I wanted to do it again today. Of course, my house doesn't have anything like citric acid, let alone 2 tablespoons of it so I looked at other peoples recipes but they all had something called cream of tartar which I don't have (and why would I). I was kinda bummed out but I thought that I could try to make my own recipe, and I want you to try it too!

Ingredients:

2/3 of a cup of baking soda
1/8 of a teaspoon of olive oil
2 teaspoons of water
2 teaspoons of color and scent (I can't believe I am saying this but since I just used ordinary ingredients, I used... cherry snow cone syrup!!! :)

Just mix it all together in a mixing bowl with a whisk and clump it into 5-6 little bath bombs! Make sure to let dry for at least 2-3 hours before use because they are delicate.

I hope you like the recipe considering the boys aren't here keeping me busy. Please comment below on how your bath bombs came out (BTW they are not supposed to fizz but you can add 2 tablespoons of citric acid for a luxurious bath fizzer.)

ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am also excited because I JUST found out that I now have an audience from Turkey of all places!!!

First review!!

So, over vacation my cousin and I spent a lot of time together :) and she showed me this app called cocoPPa - cocoPPa is an app that lets you pick a different icon for apps that you already have! For example:
CocoPPa is really fun AND easy to use on any apple device that includes apps! You can even make a cocoPPa account and design YOUR OWN app icons that you and other people can use! The only thing I have to say is that cocoPPa does not always have the apps that you're looking for but contains a huge amount of popular apps and is a way to find out about other apps too. Four and a half stars!
Happy belated Easter! I just found out that I now have an audience not only from the U.S. but now Germany and Venezuela  to add to my 19 page views!!! (Thank you so much!) I was going to show you an iMovie that the whole family worked on but I do not no how to post it on my blog. If you have any ideas on how to post an iMovie, please comment below. Thank you! In the mean time, go onto YouTube and search baby panda sneezing! Hope you enjoy!
