Here's a fantastic tutorial from instructables her SoapyHollow on making your own bath fizzies. I've always wondered what were in them, but I usually can't get close enough to inspect them in the wild, as fragrances make me sneeze like crazy. With this recipe you can control how much fragrance and from what substance the fizzies get their theme, and you could even make your own essential oils from herbs at home and nix the food coloring for a 100% homemade and natural bathtime treat.
