Although I have made these (we call them bath bombs here, I believe) I haven't really dabbled in these type of bath goodies to any extent, but $5 is exspensive for 1 bath. You will find out that the most of the initial outlay is the cost of the scent; much like the cold processed soap that I make. If you make them yourself (like most items) the initial outlay may be mor money, but in the long run, they'll be way less money the more you make. Make them and give as gifts at celebration times, X-mas, Valentines, birthdays, etc.? Check most any soap forums, (ummm, not this one) for many recipes and suggestions? I wonder if Terri here makes them? hth

Wanda - You can use colors that are made specifically for soap (available at MJDesigns, soap suppliers, etc.), or if you are just making a few and don't want to "go commercial," you can use the paste food coloring that is in the little tubs (at WalMart, etc.). You could try regular liquid food coloring, but I think you would be disappointed as the colors would be very pale. The paste makes really intense colors, depending on how much you use, of course. Yes, you can get the citric acid at a pharmacy, but for any really significant amount, you'd want to buy it at a soap supplier or other chemical house. Buying in small quantities (at a pharmacy) is very expensive.

Thanks for the recipe! I love bath bombs....just plain ones will do. I got addicted to them when we were in Whistler, BC and found the LUSH store close to where we were staying.
