NOOOO MOSQUITOS!!!

There hasn't been a time (until now) that I don't remember getting bitten by mosquitos growing up. Outdoor parties, BBQ's, late night walks & hiking through the woods. The sound of them buzzing by my ears as I "try" to sleep & their itchy aftermath.

There are 3000 species of mosquitos & they are known to carry mosquito-borne illnesses like West Nile. Only the FEMALE mosquitos bite...hmmmm! Believe it or not, mosquitos prefer cattle, horses & birds to humans.....so why did they always attack me??

While I believe they have their place in the ecosystem, I'd still like to enjoy the outdoors doing the things I love.

When I was introduced to essential oils years ago, I discovered several oils that mosquitos/bugs dislike. Oils like cedarwood, citronella, cinnamon, lemon eucalyptus, lavender, lemongrass, peppermint & tea tree to name a few. I do not believe in using harsh chemicals to ingest or apply on my skin, especially since having kids, that's when I decided to make a MOSQUITO REPELLANT using essential oils........& it really WORKS! So get outside & have fun over the summer with confidence!
