DIY Birthday Cake Sprinkle Bath Bombs

May 18, 2019 by Shellie Wilson Leave a Comment

 

Cotton Candy Bath Bomb Recipe
Supplies:
1 cup baking soda
1/2 cup citric acid (It’s better to buy in bulk on Amazon)
1/2 cup SLSA (Sodium Laurel Sulfoacetate) (Find it on Amazon)
1/4 cup cream of tartar
1/4 cup coconut oil
2 tablespoons rubbing alcohol
10 drops  Vanilla cake scent 
Light blue mica powder (Find it on Amazon)
Spray bottle of rubbing alcohol
Rainbow nonpareils or sprinkles
1 large mixing bowl
Bath bomb molds (I recommend these you can find on Amazon)

 

 

Directions:
Steps 1-4: Add dry ingredients to a large bowl.


Step 5: Sift or whisk dry ingredients.


Step 6: Add mica powder


Step 7: Using your hands, break down any lumps in the dry mixture while incorporating the mica into the dry
ingredients.

Step 8: Add lavender essential oil


Steps 9-10: In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt coconut oil in the microwave for 25-30 seconds. Add cotton candy scent to
oil.
Step 11: Add liquid to dry mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time.


Step 12: Whisk liquid or use your hands to incorporate into dry mixture.

Step 13: If mixture is still too dry, spray rubbing alcohol a bit at a time and incorporate into dry mixture using your
hands.


Step 14: You will know when the mixture is perfect when it feels like wet sand and you can press the mixture together in
your hands and it stays together. **Please note** You may need to use your spray bottle of rubbing alcohol to spritz
your mixture if it gets too dry as you are adding it to your mold. Give a few spritzes and mix together until it has that wet
sand feel again.

Step 15: If you like, add a bit of sprinkles to the bath bomb mixture. Totally optional.

Step 16: Add a bit of sprinkles to bath bomb.


Step 17: Add bath bomb mixture into both sides of mold. Be sure to overfill on each side.


Step 18: Firmly press molds together. Gently tap top and sides of mold and release bath bomb. Allow to dry overnight.

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.
