Love Potion Bubble Bath
By Abigail Beal
This bubble bath will put you in a romantic mood.
All of the ingredients are considered aphrodisiacs
– so look out! ;)

Ingredients:

6 drops jasmine oil
3 drops rose oil
3 drops vanilla oil
6 drops ylang ylang oil
1 quart of distilled water
1 bar of castille soap (4 oz. bar melted in microwave)
4 ounces liquid glycerin
Directions: Mix the water, soap and glycerin together and stir. Now add your essential oils to the mixture.



Ingredients

• Castille soap is used to soften and moisturize the skin, its made from 100% Olive Oil.  Liquid glycerin, a by-product of soap making, is another skin moisturizer. Also note that if you can’t find unscented shampoo, you can use a mild baby shampoo in its place.
• Coconut oil has a nutty and floral fragrance and almond oil is virtually unscented. Adding a half cup of either one to your bubble bath will soften your skin.
• Essential oils are stored in special cells, ducts, or glandular hairs that are distributed among the roots, leaves, bark, stems, and flowers of the plant. Some sort of an essential fragrance oil is one of the main ingredients in a homemade bubble bath.
• Some essential oils are relaxing and soothing. They include lavender, sandalwood, marjoram, frankincense, myrrh, rosewood and chamomile. They will help relaxing you and help you drop off to sleep. Other essential oils uplift and energize. They include peppermint, spearmint, eucalyptus and lemon oil. Some essential oils have therapeutic effects. For example, eucalyptus oil will break up congestion if you have a cold.
