Bath Soak Darlings

Sometimes DIY doesn’t go the way you planned.

Sometimes bath bombs, notoriously finicky recipes, don’t quite stick together.

The beauty of do-it-yourself recipes is that even mistakes can be learned from, and we can still fashion visually stunning and high-quality gifts.

If your Entrancing Bath Bars don’t quite stick together, that’s okay!

We like to layer up the mixture in jars with an endless range of customizable colours and botanicals. If you like, you can forgo the molds entirely, and make these Bath Soak Darlings entirely on purpose!
