Y’all. I didn’t know that my showers were lame until I tried one of these things.

I feel like bath & shower bombs have become a “new” hot commodity lately. Even though I feel like they have been around forever.

My mom used to give me bath bombs all the time as a kid and I absolutely loved them. I never really stopped using them either. These shower melts are pretty much the same idea, just for the shower. It’s more of a “melt” and not really that fizzy bomb that’s so intriguing to watch dissolve under water.

So what, why, how?! You simply plop one of these onto the floor of your shower. As you take a hot shower, the melt will slowly melt (YEP) and the steam that is released will take on the aroma of the essential oils that are in the melt. I buy almost all of my essential oils from Eden’s Garden. They’re the best!

1 cup cornstarch
3-4 tablespoons water
2-3 drops of green food coloring
20-ish drops of essential oil (I used a blend called “Head Ease” made by Eden’s Garden, it’s a combination of wintergreen, peppermint, lavender, basil, chamomile – cannot say enough good things about this blend! It works WONDERS for headaches)

1. Combine everything in a mixing bowl until it forms a paste. Use as many drops of oil as you want, depending on how strong of a scent you want, I’m guessing I used about 20 or so.
2. Press the mixture tightly into a silicone mold and place in the freezer for 1-2 hours until set. They should pop right out, no problem!
3. PRO TIP – Store the melts in the freezer if possible. I noticed that they started to crumble a bit when I just left them out at room temperature in my bathroom ;)
