Bath Goo

Ahhh. Bath Goo. Feeling a strong need to use up some of my crafty energy (and some fragrance oils), I whipped out one of my craft books to find a slimy bath goo recipe that I knew was in it. And, tada!!

Yes. That is an old catsup bottle. In fact, it was after I used up the last drops of catsup that I rinsed it out and thought "I don't want to just throw this nice bottle away..." Hence, the bath gel. I was under the impression that it was going to be gooey and slimy, but it's just looking green to me. Ah well. The kids will like it. One of them (at least) will be forced to take a bath tonight and test-drive my concoction.

Anyway, it was just a mixture of 2c. distilled water, 2 tbs. liquid soap base, 20 drops of fragrance, 1 tsp almond oil and 1 tsp table salt. The actual recipe from the book called for a few different things, which I didn't have, so I improvised. Maybe that's why it's not gooey. Donno.
