Obviously, I have no idea how proper bath bombs are supposed to work, but these fizz delightfully, add a very subtle tint and scent to the water, and soften my poor winter-dry legs amazingly well. Probably the hardest part was finding citric acid. Initially, I used an old cupcake container I had as a mould just to do some testing, but I realized I really liked the rustic/cute look it gave the bombs so I continued using it. What you'll need to make one bath bomb (or two like mine): 2 tablespoons baking soda 1 tablespoon of citric acid (or 1/2 tablespoon cream of tartar) 1 tablespoon of cornstarch 3/4 teaspoon liquid* Valentine's Day Scratch Off Tickets - PinTriedIt.

EVOLUTION OF A BED PT.1. Aww yeah...this is about the construction of beds. You're super intrigued...right? Derp. Sorry to disappoint. Nothing scandalous here. Beds in dorm rooms...stink. This isn't actually my room, but it's pretty darn close furniture-wise. There are so many limitations to decorating a room with something other than posters. Despite all these rulez, this year I REALLY outdid myself with trying to modify the bed to be something splendid. Voila. Yup. Anyhoo, this bad boy was constructed as such: 1.
