🦟The bugs found you first, didn't they


​

Hi Reader,

You know that moment β€” you finally sit down outside with your drink, the sun's going down, and bzzzzz. The mosquitoes found you first.

I'm sure you know the struggle. My DIY bug spray was the most-read post on the blog last month. If you haven't made a bottle yet, it takes 3 ingredients, works on ticks too, and it's safe for the whole family β€” no DEET required.

And if sprays aren't your thing (or you want something for a purse or pocket), I also have a solid balm version. It's made with lemon balm infused oil plus citronella, cedarwood, and tea tree β€” it moisturizes while it protects, won't spill in your bag, and it's perfect for camping trips and evening walks. One pea-sized scoop covers your ankles and wrists, right where mosquitoes love to bite.

Make the spray for the backyard, the balm for the road. Enjoy your evenings out there β€” you got there first.

Mosquito & Bug Repellent Balm

An easy balm version of my popular bug spray. Throw it in a purse or backpack on a hike and you don't have to worry about a glass bottle breaking. Make it with an herb infused oil and / or essential oils. Both ways will be effective.

Wishing you wellness and relaxation,

diy homemade facial serum

Hi Reader, Several years ago, I realized I could easily make my favorite expensive facial serum for pennies on the dollar, and I've never gone back to store bought. This serum is my all time favorite beauty hack and I make a big bottle of it every couple months. I keep refilling the same bottle! It costs almost nothing, and is better than any store bought serum, in my humble opinion.
