gross.

so I spend my night after dinner making these wonderful almond and orange bath bombs in the shape of easter eggs. They smelled amazing to me! I love the smell of almonds, and the hint of orange made it divine! And once I was done with the last egg in the double batch that I made there was a little left in the bowl. So I decided to take it over to the sink and splash some water in it to watch it fizz and then wash my hands in the heavenly almond orange goodness. Too bad that was not my experience. Unfortunately this bath bomb smells GREAT dry, and AWFUL wet. It stinks. It's bad. And it sucks that I spend more then an hour on it, used two batches worth of stuff and it stinks. Gross. I am so frustrated. I will have to make some new ones tomorrow. I think I'm going to try to salvage these ones if at all possible. I will update you on the status of my gross egg bombs. I have to go to bed now, I have a coffee and free pastry date with my dashing husband ;)

p.s. I got a membership to a gym tonight. To an AMAZING gym. I am so excited! I plan on going a minimum of three times a week.

That. Sucks. Gosh don't you hate when that happens, when all your creativity is gone to waste! You even made them easter egg shaped! :-( so sad. I'll take one. I have a very stunted sense of smell so they will likely smell decent to me...hah

YAY for the gym!

no seriously. they were BAD. My cousin and I decided to throw them away. I made new awesome ones this morning. Along with a lot of other wonderful things :)

Awe. That's no good. I hate when projects dud-out. The Almond and Orange mix sounded like a fantastic/brilliant combination scent too.

I love love love the gym! I wish I still had my membership.

ok so I LOVE almond and orange together too! But what I discovered was that I used "extracts" not "oils". I didn't realize they weren't oils. And it makes a difference because extracts are for flavor, and oils are for scent! It makes sense that they didn't work out now! But like I said I made new awesome ones that smell like mango :)
