Aroma Shower Fizzies Out Of Control

My oh my, I recently made some shower fizzies for some friends using essential oils.  What I hadn't taken  into account was the change in the weather. With the rain and added moisture in the air, try as I might I couldn't get the fizzies to dry out.  I read several articles that you can dry out bath fizzies in the oven with the temperature set at 170 degrees.  Great, temperature set at 170 degrees fizzies in the oven, the end result was .......

They should have been the same size as the soap

Oh heck,  the articles I read were in degrees Fahrenheit instead of Celsius.   Two minutes in the oven resulted in puffed up fizzies the size of scones.  The reason?  The moisture and bicarb/citric acid mixture was activated with the heat from the oven.  Although unsightly,  they still work a treat and my kitchen smelt so lovely.

A few attempts later and a cooler oven resulted in some  fizzies fit enough to give to my mates.  I made three different blends which I adapted from the recipe kindly provided on Soapqueen's blog.

1. Energising - maychang & sweet orange essential oils

2. Soothing - lavender & ylang ylang essential oils

3. Clear the air -  peppermint, tea tree & eucalyptus essential oils

Packaged ready for my friends 

I love how you throw the fizzie down on the floor of the shower and let the essential oils waft up.  It is truly a spa like experience.
