In a separate small bowl or bottle, mix together water and essential oil. Slowly add the oil-water mixture a few drops at a time into your dry ingredients, stirring well after each addition (a stand mixer works well for this). When ingredients are thoroughly mixed, tightly pack into 2-inch balls using your hands, a stainless steel cake pop mold, or a cookie scoop. Set on a plate to dry. If necessary, pack the balls again more tightly. <em>Allow to dry for 12+ hours before using.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>To use, simply place a bomb near your feet under warm running water and enjoy the aromatic experience!<\/strong><\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #800080\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Blog-1202-Spa-Getaway-Tile.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignright wp-image-10148\" src=\"\/\/www.youngliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Blog-1202-Spa-Getaway-Tile.png\" data-orig-src=\"\/\/www.youngliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Blog-1202-Spa-Getaway-Tile.png\" alt=\"Young Living DIY Essential Oil Shower Bombs\" width=\"205\" height=\"205\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27205%27%20height%3D%27205%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20205%20205%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27205%27%20height%3D%27205%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Blog-1202-Spa-Getaway-Tile-148x148.png 148w, https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Blog-1202-Spa-Getaway-Tile-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Blog-1202-Spa-Getaway-Tile.png 240w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 205px) 100vw, 205px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nSuggested essential oil additions: <\/span><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Morning Fresh Shower Bombs:<\/em> Add 30 drops of <a href=\"https:\/\/queue.youngliving.com\/softblock\/?c=youngliving&amp;e=prodmain&amp;t=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youngliving.com%2Fus%2Fen%2Fproduct%2Feucalyptus-radiata-essential-oil&amp;cid=en-US&amp;rticr=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Eucalyptus Radiata Essential Oil<\/a> to a batch for an invigorating and fresh aromatic experience.<\/li>\n<li><em>Orchard Stroll Shower Bombs:<\/em> For a sweet, refreshing aromatic journey, add 30 drops of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/us\/en\/product\/citrus-fresh-essential-oil-blend\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Citrus Fresh\u2122 Oil<\/a> to a batch.<\/li>\n<li><em>Day\u2019s End Shower Bombs:<\/em>\u00a0Add 30 drops of <a href=\"https:\/\/queue.youngliving.com\/softblock\/?c=youngliving&amp;e=prodmain&amp;t=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youngliving.com%2Fus%2Fen%2Fproduct%2Flavender-essential-oil&amp;cid=en-US&amp;rticr=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lavender Essential Oil<\/a> to a batch to enjoy a relaxing aromatic addition to your shower time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Would you like to experience the full package of a Spa Day?<\/strong> Then follow us in this journey of a <span style=\"color: #99cc00\"><a style=\"color: #99cc00\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/blog\/how-have-spa-day-home-spa\/\">6 steps to a DIY spa day<\/a><\/span> and learn how to make these amazing <span style=\"color: #99cc00\"><a style=\"color: #99cc00\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/blog\/\">DIY geode bath bombs.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080\">Which Young Living essential oils will you add to your shower bombs?
