Halloween Foaming Layered Bath Salts
7 Halloween is a one of my favorite times of the year. I enjoy listening to creepy music, watching movies about zombies and vampires. (Sorry, not the Twilight vampires as I believe vampires should not sparkle.) I remembered seeing a soap that was inspired by zombies, so I decided to make […]
Walking Dead Mini Bath Bombs
