DIY Beach Inspired Bath Fizzies – great school holiday project

September 23, 2011 by Nellie Lee Luhrmann 1 Comment

I don’t know about you but now that the school holidays are here I am trying to find activities to do that  easily engage my 2 young fellas and does not cost the earth. Thanks to Desiree from Beyond A Garden for sharing these sea shell bath fizzies.

 

 
To make the bath fizzes use the following recipe: 
2 cups baking soda
1 cup citric acid
1 tablespoon of ground kelp

50 drops of a essential oil blend
Desiree used – douglas fir, spikenard, grapefruit and spearmint
Witch hazel in a small spray bottle
 To mould these fizzies you will only need  some seashells you found on the beach and 2 little helper hands
For step by step instructions on what to do next, pop on over to Beyond A Garden and have a look. Get extra creative using glitter, micas and  clays as well as other essential oils/scented oils. We went with a coconut candle and soap making soluble fragrance  that I had in my cupboard. I will cherish these for as long as they last, the fun I had with my boys making these I will cherish forever. They smell pretty good too. The boys really enjoyed making these we had lots of fun and the cleanup afterwards was very minimal.

    Tried to make them at home. To be frank they are more expensive to make than to buy, do correct me if I’m wrong. But its a fabulous post and now I know where I was going wrong! I recently bought some bath body products and thats when I really discovered what Bath Fizzies can do! I hadn’t been using them otherwise! What other Bath Body products can we make at home?

Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets (For When You Want to Scream into a Pillow)

Free Printable Downloads for Women 40+ Navigating the Hormonal Rollercoaster

Let’s be real—there are days when being a woman over 40 feels like riding a hormone-fueled tilt-a-whirl without the safety bar. Welcome to perimenopause, my friends. If you’ve ever found yourself sweating while standing in front of the fridge, crying over a puppy food commercial, or forgetting why you walked into a room (again), you’re in good company.

That’s exactly why I created these Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets—printable pages made especially for those “I swear if someone breathes near me I’m going to scream” moments.

What Are Calm Down Sheets?

These aren’t your typical mandala coloring pages. Nope. These were lovingly illustrated with women in perimenopause and menopause in mind—think messy buns, mood swings, and a whole lot of caffeine. Each sheet includes relatable cartoons, cheeky quotes, and stress-relieving doodles that are way more satisfying to color than pretending you’re fine.

They’re perfect for:

Rage coloring during a hot flash

Cooling down after snapping at your partner for chewing too loudly

Unwinding with a glass of wine and a pack of colored pencils

Quiet moments when your brain fog lifts just enough to enjoy something creative

Why Coloring Helps During Perimenopause

There’s science behind this, promise. Coloring helps lower cortisol levels, focus your mind, and gently ease anxious thoughts. It’s like a mindfulness practice, but one that doesn’t require Lycra or a meditation app subscription. And let’s be honest—when the world feels a bit much, giving a snarky mug or frazzled cartoon woman a splash of lavender and hot pink is downright cathartic.
