DIY Bath Steamers - Cathy tries and fails!

By -

I wanted to try the DIY Bath Steamers from the Hallmark Channel Home and Family. I tried and failed.😏 But I had fun trying and will try again. You live and learn by failing, right??


Here's the materials list and directions if you'd like to take a stab at making these cute bath steamers:

 MATERIALS

INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Place the baking soda, citric acid, and cornstarch in a large bowl. Use a pastry cutter or large whisk to remove lumps and mix well.
  2. Add the water SLOWLY, 1 tbsp at a time. You have to be very careful because if you add too much water too soon, the whole thing will fizz up. Just be patient and keep testing by grabbing a handful of the mixture and squeezing it in your hand. As soon as it feels like damp sand (that would be perfect for making a sandcastle), you've added enough water.
  3. Add the essential oils, and after every few drops, use your pastry cutter or a fork to mash them into the mixture.
  4. Place about 2 tbsp of mixture into each dome, and use the back of a spoon or ice cream scoop to press down and smooth.
  5. Leave overnight.
  6. Carefully remove from molds and package in a pretty Mason jar or clear gift bag with ribbons and decorations etc.
  7. To Store: They will store for up to 6 months in a cool, dark cabinet.
DIRECTIONS
Take into the shower with you, wet it under the stream of water to get it going. Place the steamer at the far end of the bath/shower stall. You want it to last, and if it's under the stream of water it will disappear too quickly.
Caution: Because you are bringing oils into the shower, make sure you use a shower mat, and wipe out the shower floor when you are done.

If you are interested in good quality essential oils, contact Rhonda
Byler Essentials , she would be more happy to help you.

Product Review of Nature's Nectar Coconut Water

***UPDATED 7/8/23*** Nature's Nectar Pure Coconut Water from ALDI didn't suit our fancy. We all agreed there's way to much sodium taste in the coconut water and as you get older, as we three are, we have to watch our sodium intake. As we taste-tested the water, the decision was it wasn't good to just drink but we did, however, agree that it might make a great addition to making smoothies.  How about making this delicious smoothie:  Ingredients            Coconut water, regular or flavored 2 bananas 2 mangos 1 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen) 1/2 cup Greek yogurt 2 tablespoons honey Directions Fill ice trays with the coconut water and freeze until solid. Place the fruit, honey, and 12 to 14 coconut water-flavored ice cubes into a blender and blend until smooth. Serve immediately. Recipe courtesy Bobby Flay Here's the nutritional ...
