Its time for picnics and trail walks. Mosquitos love me and I am allergic to them, so I keep these lavender sprays handy, weather I am on the sidelines or on the beach.

Kid Friendly Bug Spray
1 tsp carrier oil – we use glycerin or jojoba
1 tsp witch hazel
15 drops lavender oil
2 tbsp water
Combine in Spray Bottle
For kids that donโt want to be sprayed trying spraying onto rope bracelets or felt stickers that will hold the scent.


Stronger Blend
1 cup of witch hazel
15 drops citronella
15 drops lemon grass
5 drops lavender
5 drops peppermint.
This has a citronella smell – which is not our favorite – the bugs agree and stay away. If you are heading into the woods or black fly country – this may be more effective –
