DIY Bug Spray with 4 Essential Oils

Sumer is right around the corner!  It's the season to be outside! 

Baseball season is in full swing and the bugs are out in full force!  Don't let them put a damper on your outdoor time.

Make your own bug spray using 4 essential oils:  Peppermint, Lavender, Thieves, and Purification.  This was so easy to make and smells great!

It's small and compact, so can easily be taken on the go.  It will be in our baseball bag each and every game we're at, as well as in our travel bag while we're at the park, on a bike ride, or just hanging at the neighbors.

Want to make your own?  I'll show you where to buy your supplies and you'll be off and running!

What you need:

Blue Glass Spray Bottle
Unscented Witch Hazel
Distilled Water (your grocery store aisle)
Peppermint Essential Oil
Lavender Essential Oil
Thieves Essential Oil
Purification Essential Oil

The Recipe
2 oz. Witch Hazel
2 oz. Distilled Water
10 drops of each oil

Measure and mix together in bottle.  If space left, add an additional 1 oz. of Witch Hazel and Distilled Water.  Be sure to shake before each use!
