It’s summer!!! That means we’re outside where it’s hot, humid, and the bugs are out!! I don’t know about you but I get eaten up this time of year. It doesn’t matter if I’m outside for 5 hours or 5 minutes. My dad always told me mosquitoes liked me because I’m sweet. Are you as sweet as me?? To get those bugs to bug off, I made a DIY bug spray using essential oils. You can see how I make it on IGTV here.
What you’ll need:
- 10 drops citronella essential oil
- 10 drops lemongrass essential oil
- 10 drops tea tree essential oil
- 5 drops peppermint essential oil
- 5 drops lavender essential oil
- Witch hazel
- Water
- 4 oz spray bottle
Instructions:
- Add oils to spray bottle
- Fill 1/2 way with witch hazel
- Fill other 1/2 with water
- Shake to combine (shake each time you use)
- Spray to prevent those pesky bugs!
I hope this helps to keeps those bugs away! Enjoy your summer!!
