DIY Kawaii Coffee No-Borax Slime

April 18, 2017

New to the world of slime? Here’s a super basic recipe that’s adaptable for any of your slime needs! 😀

Slime Recipe – fills one mini Starbucks cup

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup white school glue
  • Tan acrylic paint – approx. 1/4 tsp, but this is best measured by eye
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp instant coffee (optional)
  • 1 T contact lens solution (saline, not the kind for overnight contact soaking)

Directions

  1. Mix together white school glue, acrylic paint, baking soda, and instant coffee until well combined. You may add more paint to color the slime at this stage, but not after adding the contact lens solution, so get your ideal color now! 😀
  2. Mix in contact lens solution until slime pulls away from the sides of the bowl. This may not be immediate, so be sure to mix thoroughly before potentially deciding to add more to make slime less sticky.
  3. Enjoy!!

DIY Easter Egg Bath Bombs

April 12, 2017

These Easter Egg bath bombs are the perfect alternative to the pricier store-bought ones! 😀

Supplies

  • 1/2 cup baking soda
  • 1/4 cup citric acid 
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup epsom salt
  • 3 tsp olive oil
  • 2-3 tsp water, depending on humidity (2 tsp worked for me on a rainy day, likely use 3 tsp on a normal day)
  • 1/4 – 1/2 tsp essential oil
  • Soap / food color
  • Plastic Easter Eggs

Directions

  1. Whisk together baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, and epsom salt until combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, water, essential oil, and coloring. While whisking continuously, add wet ingredients to dry only a few drops at a time. This is very important, and I learned it the hard way! It will take some time to incorporate everything so just be patient 🙂
  3. Immediately press into Easter Egg
