We’ve been spending a lot of time outside so far this summer.
While I’m loving all the extra Vitamin D that we’re getting, I’m not diggin’ the bug and mosquito bites at all!
I’ve been keeping a bottle of purification essential oil on hand to help with bug bites (which works wonderfully). While we were preparing to head out to river I threw together an all natural bug spray to protect my babies and I from the mosquitoes waiting to feast on us.
This spray works well, especially when it comes to keeping away mosquitoes!
