When I got home I did a bit of research, and sometime around
the point Thursday changed to Friday I threw together some things I call “tub
fizzies.” I know I did not mastermind this idea, but I was pretty impressed
that I came up with it given the fact that I barely made it through a night of
work at a job I’ve done since I was 19 and could do blindfolded and on one
foot. I couldn’t do it with my hands tied behind my back, because then I couldn’t
cut pizza. But anyway . . . .
The basic things that make any bath fizzy fizz are baking
soda and citric acid. I intended to put this fizzy in the shower and have it
release the essential oils while I stood under the warm water and tried to
fight off the chills this flu gave me, so I didn’t add anything extra that I
would have had this been intended for use in a bath.
I have no pictures of these fizzies as I went through them pretty
quick. I used two NOW brand essential oil blends that I had on hand, Lavender
and Tea Tree and Lemon and Eucalyptus. In order to maximize the effects of the
essential oils, I used them two at a time, one fizzy with each blend.
I found these fizzies to be incredible, and I was happy that I could use my mad skills to find some relief, because these fizzies were far more enjoyable than the feeling I got from the cough syrup I bought Saturday morning. Yech!
Coming up I’ve got super fun times and several projects to
talk about. I can’t wait to share them =D
