Along with the warmer weather and spending time outside also comes the annoyance of the bugs that bite us and make us want to stay indoors or the alternative is to spray our skin with toxic bug spray. I have news: there is a simple recipe that works great at keeping the bugs away and is not toxic!! YAY!
Here is what you need:
3oz distilled water
1/3 cup coconut oil
20 drops Rosemary essential oil
20 drops Lavender essential oil
15 drops Tea Tree essential oil
10 drops Eucalyptus essential oil
10 drops Orange essential oil
Directions:
Melt the coconut oil in a double boiler
Allow it to cool down a little bit
Add the water and the essential oils
Mix well
Pour into a small glass spray bottle
Shake well before use
I like to buy my essential oils(organic of course!) at www.mountainroseherbs.com
They also sell the amber glass spray bottles very cheaply.
So try this out and let me know if you like it!
Get outdoors and enjoy spring and summer!
