I just ran across this recipe for bug repellent, and thought I would share it here.
We have attempted these in the past and they have been really hit or miss. Anyone else have a great recipe? I'm pretty sure we are breeding a new breed of super mosquito around here, they
feed off of the toxic gick that everyone is spraying and grow into crazy mutant mosquitos!
Anyhow, here's the recipe:
DIY Natural Mosquito Repellent
•2 tablespoons neem seed oil
•1 tablespoon olive oil
•1 tablespoon coconut oil
•10-15 drops of citronella essential oil
If necessary, melt coconut oil. Mix together all ingredients and store in a small jar with an eye dropper top. To use, rub sparingly onto exposed skin.
Note: You
should not use neem seed oil if you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant, as it is an abortifacient.

“The best things in life are nearest: Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life’s plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life.” Robert Louis Stevenson
