My First Attempt at Bath Bombs
My sister came home one day and told us the recipe she has for her bath bombs. I was eager to get some done for a girl at work because she was so stressed out. I wanted to use Frankincense. It is commonly used in a lot of incense burning along with sandalwood and it is one of my favorite musky scents. I like floral scents, too, so I thought it would be nice to try and mix it with lavender. She requested blue-colored soaps and I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to try it out when my sister was still here.

The Secret Places Around the City of Paris
