NATURAL REMEDIES FOR MOSQUITOS

The weather has all of a sudden turned (hot) here so I've been rummaging through my “summer box” to unload our family's essentials. We're just about out of last summer's sunscreen and this is when I need to seriously fight mosquito bites! (I swear those buggers LOVE me and our girls!)

Did you know rosemary, lemongrass, and citrus oils naturally repel mosquitoes? YEP! I got this tip from my friend Ky (@moderngreengoddess), tried it, and it seriously works. So I switch from using body lotion to my Luminous Citrus Rosemary Body Oil (which also contains Citronella!!) and I swear the mosquitoes steer clear of me. And in the shower I use my Sugarbuff Lemongrass Body Scrub which also repels bugs beautifully. It's a winning combo for our backyard play and hikes at South Mountain Reservation. If you suffer from bites like me, you really need to give it a try and let me know how it goes for you!!

I'm secretly hoping spring is here to stay a little bit longer… but for now I'm preparing for it to be full on summer before we know it!
