DIY Insect repellent

Are you clinging to these summer nights? It's the time of the year that I want to spend every minute outside. But each night, there is a that dreaded hour when the mosquitos come out and threaten to ruin our fun.  But there's a wonderful natural option that keeps the fun going and the bugs away: DIY Insect Repellent! 

The toxic bug spray is a thing of the past now that we use essential oils for just about everything! Our main summer essentials: citronella and lemongrass oils! 

DIY Insect Repellent

In a 2oz glass bottle, combine:
5 drops citronella,
5 drops lemongrass,
5 drops purification, and
5 drops peppermint oils.
1/4 part witch hazel
3/4 part  water, preferably distilled

*For little ones, use 2 drops each of citronella, purification, and lavender instead.

Boom! Bugs be gone! Looking forward to enjoying those summer nights while not having to be eaten alive!
