repurposing a bath bomb

[diet_poison]

So for Christmas, my boss gave my co-workers and I a peppermint bath bomb.

It was a sweet gift, but I literally never take baths (showers ftw) and it's been sitting on my bathroom counter, somewhat crumbled from the ride in my purse. Is there any way to repurpose this? It's homemade and not very strong I think - he made a bunch at once and had never done it before. I wonder if I could use it to make some kind of potpourri thing (been wanting one of those for a while) or soap or a candle or something. I don't really know how to make any of those things so not sure if any of it would be a good idea.

I know some people here are really crafty - maybe you could give me some tips?

I've used that sort of thing in the shower before. The scent can be nice. I have eucalyptus essential oil that I used in the shower all the time.

You could crumble it a bit more, put it in a bowl, and just keep it around for the smell. It is mostly baking soda and citric acid, so it can't really be repurposed as a candle or soap.

This is not crafty at all but I still highly recommend it if the bath bomb is strongly scented. I have a deep love of scented soaps and I have too many of them, so I keep two of them in my shirt drawers and now everything smells awesome.

I do the same. I don't like to wash with them, but I love damascena rose smelling panties.

I like to keep them with my shirts because then when I've just gotten dressed I have fresh, clean, fruity scents right where I can take a deep breath.

Make sure that the smell isn't too strong! Some people (like me) have severe allergies and strong scents on other people trigger migraines. It's not a big deal but something to keep in mind!

Re: repurposing a bath bomb

Completely understand, my best friend is prone to migraines. It's a very mild scent, that's why I keep it in my shirt drawer. I get a nice whiff when it's fresh out of the drawer but it fades pretty quickly. It's a lot weaker than the perfume I wear more often, and that has yet to trigger anyone. But I will absolutely be aware if other people seem uncomfortable!

Bits of it can be used for a very nice foot bath in any large bowl, after a day with long hours at work or too much walking. Try it?

Re: repurposing a bath bomb

I second the anon who said to put it in a basin and soak your feet. Or hands, and then push and trim your cuticles, lotion up, and maybe manicure. Great if you've got that wintery dry skin.

But you could also make a sachet out of it. One of my favorite indie soap companies recycles some of their soap shavings in sachets; they threw one in as a free gift with one of my purchases. Makes my underwear drawer smell nice.
