Lavender Shower Fizzles

Scented lavender fizzy shower tablets

My name for these little wonders is Shower Fizzles! What you do is set them on the corner edge of your tub or on a shelf while you take a shower. It turns shower time into a spa experience! It smells amazing when the steam completely soaks into the tablet. It will bubble up and fizzle until it dissolves releasing the amazing aroma. You can throw them directly on the shower floor but if I have flowers in them I prefer to put one on a small dish in the corner of the tub. That way I don't have flower petals going down my drain. 

I made these lavender because I have a bunch growing in my yard so I have lots of lavender around. It's such a relaxing experience right before bedtime. 

Lavender Shower Fizzles

Ingredients
4 cups baking soda
2 cups citric acid
approximately 3/4 to 1 cup witch hazel
approximately 60 drops of lavender essential oil

Instructions
1. Add the baking soda and citric acid to a large bowl. Then using a large sifter, sift the mixture into another large bowl. That gets all the lumps out. 


2. Next add the witch hazel a little at a time using your hands. You will know when it's mixed enough when it holds together in your hand after you have made a fist. If it's still too loose add more witch hazel.


3. Lastly add in your essential oil. You can use more than 60 drops or less, depending on how strong you would like your fizzles. I like them strong. Mix it in well.


4. You can use any kind of silicone molds for the fizzles. I use 3-inch round soap molds. If you would like to add lavender petals, sprinkle some in the bottom of each indentation. Using your hand, fill each indentation to the top packing as much in as you can get. Press down as hard as you can. If you desire you may press some more lavender petals on the top too but it's not required. 


5. Now all you have to do is wait 24 hours to let them cure. Then they are ready to go! Pop them out of the molds and store them in a Mason jar with the lid on tight to keep them fresh and to help them hold their scent.

Notes
a. With my 3-inch molds, I get approximately 34 tablets out of this recipe. It depends on the size of the molds you use to determine the yield you will get. If you would like to make fewer, you can cut the recipe in half.
b. You will get the best results using quality essential oils. If you don't like lavender, you can make these with any essential oil. Use your favorite!
c. You can get witch hazel at any grocery store or drug store.
d. Citric acid and soap molds may be purchased on Amazon.®

These make great gifts for friends too!

Enjoy!!

Cake in Jars

Image
A few months ago, I had a get-together coming up and I thought I would make cake in Mason jars, so if anyone wasn't ready for dessert they could take one home. I just didn't fill them extra-full on that night so a lid would go on easily. The good thing about a dessert like this is that you don't have to eat it all at once. If you only eat half, just put the lid back on and place it in the fridge. Here's how to do it: Cake in Jars 1 . Make your favorite chocolate cake in a 9x13 sheet pan. Let it cool.  2 . Make or buy both caramel sauce and chocolate frosting. 3 . Place pieces of cake in Mason jars about a quarter of the way up, then cover with frosting. 4 . Add a second layer of cake and drizzle with caramel sauce. 5 . Top with caramel whipped cream, which is made by stirring some left-over caramel sauce into heavy cream and whipping it up like normal. It tastes delicious! 6 . Lastly, drizzle with more caramel sauce and add chocolate sprinkles. 7 . Store in the fridge. ...

Homemade No-Churn Ice Cream Sundaes

Image
Homemade ice cream sundaes from scratch!  I have had a hankering for ice cream lately. I really enjoy making it at home with ingredients I can pronounce. No fancy machine needed! I like to embellish my sundaes a bit with homemade chocolate ganache sauce or strawberry sauce. You can stick a chocolate caramel turtle on your chocolate sundae as well. Yum!  Am I eating them all myself? No! I always share with my family, of course!  I made them just in time too because I started to get a sore throat last night. This ice cream really feels soothing going down. It's so creamy and smooth.  With the recipe for the vanilla ice cream below, you can use it as a base for whatever kind of ice cream you want to make. Just add fruits and sauces to change the flavor. You can add peanut butter too. The sky's the limit. To freeze, I put the ice cream in Glad® plastic containers. They come with lids and keep the ice cream fresh. You can find them next to the freezer bag aisle at your gr...
