This bath bomb smells so divine! Toasted coconut with lime! And, the coconut milk gives it extra, extra, extra, foaming ability. You can tweak the lime essential oil and the witch hazel depending on whether you’d like a stronger lime scent – just keep the total to 2 ounces.

Oh my gosh! This is chocolate heaven. It’s simply divine. You might be tempted to eat it….DON”T! I’m a chocoholic, but there is no such thing as chocolate essential oil and I always try to use essential oils before I use fragrance oils. Don’t get me wrong – I do use fragrance oils, but always look for ones that are phthalate free. Before I even had a chance to look for a chocolate FO, I found cocoa vanilla oil on Edens Garden.
