Every once in a while, I let my girls take a bath in the master tub. It is larger than theirs and has whirlpool jets that create a ton of bubbles if any amount of soap has been added to the water. This is a special treat for them when they've been extra good.

I was quite surprised several months ago when they inquired about some bath oils that I had next to the tub. I wasn't sure how the strong scent would go over, but I threw one in the water just to see. The girls thought it was pretty cool and over the course of the next few "special" baths in my tub, proceeded to use up my entire stock.

So when Trisha at Beyond the Bomb contacted me generously offering a giveaway for my blog, I was all over it. You see, Trisha got started in the business of this bathtub delight because of her kids. She must be a better mom than I am because she proceeded to create from scratch some really cool bath bombs for her family. Not just little round balls, either. Bath bombs shaped like glass slippers, footballs, cupcakes, cookies and popcorn. Even her gift baskets for baby showers contain bath bombs shaped like rubber ducks and baby bottles. Of course, she has a regular supply of normal shapes for adults. If you're accustomed to only strong perfumy bath products, you're in for a treat. Beyond the Bomb offers fat-free, calorie-free chocolate truffle scented ones, too. She even has one with a description of "Bath party without the hangover with this coconut scented bath bomb." What's not to love about that?

But enough of my jibber-jabber... here's the scoop on the contest.
The Prize:
Prize will consist of Four bath bombs to one winner. Those four are: one large (9 oz.), one medium (6.3 oz.), one small (4 oz.), and one heart bomb.

    I love the benefit bombs. They are a basic shape, but include naturally beneficial essential oils. I have trouble with acne, so I would go with the Green Tea Benefit Bomb - it has tea tree oil, which is good for all kinds of skin problems. Here is the link: http://www.beyondthebomb.com/item_74/Green-Tea-Benefit.htm
