Calendula Bath Bombs!
Hey all you Savvy Naturalista’s welcome to DIY Saturday! Today were making Calendula bath bombs. This bath bomb tutorial is pretty long so I cut my intro pretty short and started the bath bomb tutorial for you. If I didn’t cut the intro short the video would have been over 40 minutes (this isn’t a movie) too long. I really love lush inspired DIY’s. Lush bath bombs are pretty popular and making handmade Lush items is so therapeutic. I really hope you enjoy this tutorial and make sure you Subscribe to my Channel for more videos.
Note: I talk a bit about SLSA and SLS (there is a difference) in the video; you will need this product if you want your bath bombs to be just like Lush! If not you can skip it, but this is a Lush bath bomb DIY..
These homemade bath bombs are all natural and a lush inspired tutorial. Lush has a rose bath bomb on their UK site and I sort of wanted to mimic that bath bomb handmade style. The Lush Uk site gets some of the best products that you just can’t find in the States. The mother land of where lush started is where all the magic goes down and the exclusive products are born. If you have the shipping coins I suggest you pick up a rose queen bath bomb because it is such a beautiful bath bomb. I have never seen anything so glorious. Well if you don’t have the shipping coin for that, you can gawk on Instagram (like I do) or make this calendula bath bomb and live in your dreams of handmade goodness.
