Three Awesome Videos That'll Help You Get Through Thursday

Good morning!  For today's "mini post" I was doing my daily scroll through Cosmopolitan's website, which I do every morning, and I came across a post called "Three Awesome Videos That'll Help You Get You Get Through the Rest of the Week" Those videos definitely improved my morning, which prompted me to search the web for my own awesome videos to blog about!

Check them out below!

One video I found is "16 of the Worst Feelings" and this video will definitely improve your mood since (hopefully) none of these things have happened to you so far today. Remember, things could always be worse!

FRI"DIY" - Make Your Own Bath Bomb!

Friday is here! And not only does that mean it's time for the wonderful weekend, it means it's time for a new DIY project! The idea for this DIY came to me last night while I was taking a bath. Baths are one of the greatest forms of relaxation and I frequently engage in the activity. Anyway, last night I was taking a nice, warm, relaxing bath wishing I had some sort of amazing smelling bubble bath or bath bomb! So, I grabbed my phone and began looking online for places I could stop by in the morning to pick some bath essentials. The more I browsed, the more I realized that most of the bath accessories I wanted were a little too pricey for me; which led me to wonder how much it costs them to make the product. Then that little light bulb went off in my head and I was determined to make my own, cost friendly, bath bomb! And here we are!


What you'll need:


Sea Salt or any kind of big grain salt - $1.99


Cream of Tartar - $2.99 ea. This is what makes the bath bomb fizz!


Almond Oil - $3.99. I chose Almond Oil because it's great for enhancing the elasticity of your skin, preventing stretch marks and wrinkles. And it smells GREAT!


Cake Pop Mold - $4.99. You can buy any sort of mold you would like or use any one you have laying around your house. I decided to do mini bath bombs.


Food Coloring - $1.99. This part is optional, you only have to add color to the bath bomb if you would like too!


Baking Soda - $2.99

I got everything for this DIY at Shop Rite and in total it came out to around $23.00. This is a great deal because I made about 12 bath bombs which means each cost LESS THAN $2.00.
