saw this recipe on Pinterest….
6 TB carrier substance (I used rubbing alcohol)
50 drops peppermint essential oil
20 drops lavender essential oil
I’ve used it 3 times now. The first time during a photo shoot with a newborn, then at golf, and Thursday during a walk. I can report that I didn’t feel ‘icky’ like I needed to take a shower afterwards (which is how I normally feel after dousing myself with OFF!) and the smell was awesome, of course (like ‘Christmas’, according to Sheila. ie. peppermint smells like candy canes and Santa’s breath) But did it work? hmmmmm….. I’m going to say ‘yeah… if you have a little babe around who’s into licking you at the moment (which I do). So I’ll probably always keep a batch on me all Summer, but stick to the hard-core chemicals when I seriously don’t want to invite the mosquitos to my party.
I have a terrible feeling that they will be awful this Summer… : /
