swimswamswum Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Hi all-I was wondering if anyone has used kool aid in bath salts. I want to make a citrus (lime or lemon) oooh or raspberry striped bath salts in a jar and want something where the scent will last. It also provides scent and color cheaply and easily. But will it ruin my grout or turn my kids green/red? They would love the water turning a color... but I don't want them to look like aliens thanks for any input!!!Jessica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Food coloring is cheap and easy too.. I know I've stained my hands with kool aid, and many a counter top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TartAddict Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I'd have to agree with Bunny...skip the Kool-Aid. We used to use Kool-Aid to "dye" our hair in junior high (don't ask, LOL, we were in North Dakota...there's not alot to do in the winter!). I can't imagine taking a bath with anything using Kool-Aid. Think about how long the dang Kool-Aid mustache sticks on kids.....definitely skip the Kool-Aid! D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcroome2005 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Hopefully you would try sugar free. Don't think you want sugar around or you will have to eat a lot of yogurt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunny Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Allrighty ya'll.. Keep the yogurt to the OT, as it adds nothing to this subject. She asked a question, she got real answers. Oh, and have a nice day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Monkey Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I'm rationalizing the yogurt due to the sugar content in the kool-aid. I'm thinking it would cause "problems." I'm also thinking that you might want to try something else to color your salts with. I have used a teny tiny bit of wilton's colorings. I have also used the cheaper colorants from Hobby Lobby. They worked pretty good, although I didn't really get a dark color from them. Silly question as it is, I wonder if the sugar free would cause the same ill effects? I'm thinking it's aspertain in those? Hmm.. off to research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swimswamswum Posted October 24, 2006 Author Share Posted October 24, 2006 ok- -just fyi I was going to use the cheapo packets that don't have sugar added yet.... I just don't want green/red kids- my hubbie would lose it..... I'll look into some cheap colorant from Micheals and maybe orange fo- hopefully that will hold scent longer than eo.thanks!!!!

dcroome2005 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Definetly use gels , powders or liquid for the bombs. You will be impressed on how well they work!Christina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsy Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Swim, you can add a little arrowroot powder to fix the fragrance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaVida Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 ......... We used to use Kool-Aid to "dye" our hair in junior high (don't ask, LOL, we were in North Dakota...there's not alot to do in the winter!). DCherry was our favorite in NY too... not just a Dakota thing.... That was back in the late 80's - early 90's..... (man, I'm getting old... about to hit the 30 speed bump Jan 2nd)....
