Affiliated... no just love the site... I didnt find a problem with the spices.. but then I dont have particually sensitive skin.. did anyone else have an irritation?

here is the recipe

Hi, I have been using this recipe from Craftbits.com http://www.craftbits.com/viewProject.do?projectID=615 2 parts Cocoa butter 1 part Shea butter 1 part Mango butter 2 parts Virgin coconut oil Rose geranium essential oil it seems similar to yours but mine was not runny at all.. I didnt add the rose though.. I would like to find a balm a really thick buttery balm. any ideaS?

Yeah layers sounds like an idea.. I made a batch of these and put them into old recycled tea cups i had.. they look fantastic.. and they just pop out, it took a little longer to dry though of course.. but they make a great gift i think. I have some chinese tea cups (which were much cheaper) and going to make the green tea bath bombs in them... atleast this way I dont have to worry about settling.

Hi, no i meant settling in the bottom of the bath bomb. I didnt find that they dried my skin out, but it did make me want to have a cinnamon bun when i got out the bath...

Here is a new link for bath melts. it doesnt say anything about hvaing to store them in the freezer though. http://www.craftbits.com/viewProject.do?projectID=1353

Hi, Yes i know.. again my fav site links but they have a fizzing bath salt recipe. http://www.craftbits.com/viewProject.do?projectID=935 I am not allowed to post there recipes here.. but here are the basic ingredients 3 tbs Sea salt 3 tbs of Baking soda 1 tbs Citric acid 8 drops of your chosen essential oil

how did this turn out ? I would be really interested in a shampp bar recipe.. please let me know if u figure it out.

Sounds wonderful.. Will have to try it....

I found and tried out this recipe. Indian Chai Bath Bombs http://www.craftbits.com/viewProject.do?projectID=1328 1 1/4 cups of Baking soda or Bicarbonate of Soda 1/2 cup of Citric acid 2 tsp of Almond Oil or Apricot kernel oil 1/2 tbs of Water 1/8 cup of Milk powder 1/4 tsp of Cinnamon, cardamom & clove powdered spices 10-15 drops of Vanilla fragrance oil The only problem I had was the spices settling in the bottom... how do I fix that for next time? it really smelt wonderful in the bath.

I saw this mask first on t.v as being the latest health craze, and of course I had to go looking for the recipe to tyr at home and for free.. Well this site has the recipe http://www.craftbits.com/viewProject.do?projectID=1326 basically it is just chocoalte and cream that you spread alllllll over your body... I tried it and it was great, a little sticky ... but it really nourished my skin. I was thinking of adding some mint to it next time. Does anyone know whether cherries have any skin benefiets? as id like to try it with cherries... purerly for the smell..

Hi, I just came across this one.. Have not tried it though http://www.craftbits.com/viewProject.do?projectID=17 I love wintergreen for muscles.. hope it works katie

Hi , I dont know if anyone saw this on t.v or not but they were advertising the new chocolate body wraps for $200 in a day spa.... RIDICULOS !! anyways...
