Sweet Almond Bath Bombs
1/4 cup baking soda
2 tbs. citric acid or absorbic acid (powdered vitamin C)
1 tbs. borax powder (for softening) (20 Mule Team)
2 tbs. powdered sugar(for binding)
2 tbs. sweet almond oil (this oil is absorbed into the skin easily)
1 tsp. Vitamin E oil(preservative)
1/4 tsp. fragrance or essential oil (you can use your favorite perfume)
Combine dry ingredients in a bowl and stir until well blended. Drizzle in almond oil and stir until mixture is moistened. Add Vitamin E oil and fragrance and stir until well mixed. ****
Take teaspoon size globs of mixture and form into ball shapes with fingers. The mixture will be VERY crumbly and fragile, so do the best you can. Place the balls on a sheet of wax paper and leave alone for 2-3 hours. Reshape balls. Let the balls
air dry and harden for 10 days. Store balls in a closed container to protect from moisture. To use, plop a ball into your bathtub in warm water.
**** I put all the ingredients in a mason jar, put the lid on and shake until mixed.
Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.

Soothing sunburns: Using cotton balls gently apply diluted lemon juice to sunburned skin. The juice acts as an astringent, relieving the pain.
