Back to the real topic of this blog: natural cleaning, remedies, and Christian Witchy living. Enough with the failure and not being good enough because we all are.
I have a few friends who I believe may need this post. One in particular, whom shall remain nameless, has apparently fallen in love with skyclad rituals. As I would not recommend using many chemicals along all those sensitive areas (male or female) I figured it was a prime time to share the chemical-less mosquito repellent:
In a 16oz bottle combine:
15 drops lavender oil
4 tbsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup lemon juice
Fill the bottle with water. Shake before applying.
A few homemade mosquito traps strategically placed may also help. I found a good one on The Survivalist Blog.
Ingredients:
1 cup of water
1/4 cup of brown sugar
1 gram yeast
1 2-liter bottle
Directions:
1. Cut the plastic bottle in half.
2. Mix brown sugar with hot water. Let cool. When cold pour in the bottom half of the bottle.
3. Add the yeast to the brown sugar mixture. There is no need to mix it. This is just used to create carbon dioxide, which attracts mosquitos.
4. Place the funnel part upside down into the other half of the bottle, taping them together if desired. This allows the mosquitos to fly in but not back out.
5. Wrap the bottle with something black, leaving the top uncovered, and place it outside in an area away from where you plan to be.
I hope that these few ideas help to keep the bug population around your special place down and they leave you alone. Enjoying outdoors is what summer is about!
