Mosquito Repellent

There heeerrreeeeee! It's not even warm yet and already the mosquitoes are swarming outside when evening sets. I have a recipe for a mosquito repellent that I plan to try this spring/summer. Unfortunately, I can't really tell you if it works yet or not but if you would like to try it, below is the recipe. If you choose not to use Young Living Essential Oils (I don't know why you wouldn't, lol), make sure you get therapeutic grade oils, not perfume oils.

Mix 6 drops peppermint oil, 9 drops purification oil in one oz of oil and rub on skin. The oils can also be placed in a mist spray bottle with one oz water and one oz alcohol and sprayed...avoiding the eyes of course.

Enjoy the outdoors!!
