Bath bombs, or bath fizzies, are incredibly addictive treats for the bath. When you drop them in water, the bath bombs fizz for a couple minutes, releasing scent and (usually) moisturizers.
Bath bombs were invented - as far as I know - by Lush, the international bath chain; however, they have really caught on with independent soap boutiques and soapmakers, and a couple other bath and body chains.
They sound simple, but once you try a bath fizzy or two, you'll be hooked. If your SO doesn't understand your obsession with luxury bath products, just give him or her a bath bomb, and you'll never have to hear about it again.
Bath bombs cost around $4 each to buy in stores, but less than $1 to make yourself!
Lush is probably the most famous seller of bath bombs; in fact, they claim to be the originators. But Lush's bath bombs sell for a lot - $4 or more each. They are incredibly easy to make at home for a fraction of the price!
