Start by combining all your dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Then combine the melted Coconut Oil, EVOO and Essential Oils in another small bowl. *I added some food color to my liquid ingredients. This did not work. I recommend adding dry powder food coloring

SLOWLY add your liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients whisking constantly. If the mixture bubbles add wet ingredients even slower

When choosing a mold, I chose the silicone one from Hobby Lobby mostly because you can make four at a time and they are smaller than your average bathbombs. After experimenting with this activity I would highly recommend beginning with a larger single mold like this one. The silicone mold made it difficult to compress the bathbombs. 

For my first batch I used Lavender Essential Oils. For my next batches I would like to try Palo Santo, Peppermint and of course Stress Away.
