Winters in Florida can be great. When the rest of the country is buried under a foot of snow Floridians are slipping on their flip flops and heading to the beach. One thing that I do not like about Florida winters is most weeks we experience all four seasons in one week.

These little bombs are so so simple, a small vics baby rub ( I used the adult for more oomph), 1 cup of corn starch, ½ cup baking soda, water to add by the drop to help mix, sprinkles to make it pretty and a mini muffin tin. Just combine all the ingredients. I ended up having to use my hands to get everything all mixed
