Every weekend, my family goes to Go Green Organic Farm in Kam Sheung Road. In fact, my husband has been interviewed by South China Morning Post about our weekly organic farming activity. And we're proud to say that we are one of the first tenants in this farm. We love farming - and my daughter loves getting dirty and play with the farm animal.
The insects love me, my daughter, and my son (they avoid my husband, though). And we always end up getting bitten by mosquitoes and sandflies. And it's extremely itchy! We can't stop scratching! I'm avoiding anything with DEET. We tried the anti-mosquito patches and those bracelets, and they didn't work for us.
So I decided to make The Best Insect Repellent Spray - one that works with sandflies too!
The Best Insect Repellent Spray
Ingredients:
50 mL carrier oil (my suggestion: Hope 100% Organic Argan Oil - easily absorbed and for all skin types), or Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Mix all ingredients in a spray bottle. You can also use the dropper bottle. Apply liberally on skin. Reapply every four hours.
Tip:
To repel ants, moths, and cockroaches at home - stick self-adhesive felt pads (the ones used for chair legs for them to glide smoothly) around the source of the insects and their likely paths.
UPDATE: Here's a review from one of our lovely customers
You may have heard by now, but the best way for you to stay protected when you are out in the sun is for you to wear a long-sleeved top, a hat, and some sunglasses. You may also want to consider some high factor sunscreen as well. The problem is, what do you do if you are already doing all of this and still getting too hot? How do you cool down?Take a lookbelow to find out everything you need to know!
There is quite possibly nothing worse than having scorching temperatures hit when you are totally not prepared. You may find the whole thing unbearable and you may also feel as though nothing you do can cool you down. Luckily, there are things that you can do to try and keep the heat at bay and there are also things that you can do to cool your whole family down as well.
If you have kids,then you will know how clumsy they can be. You will also know how hard it can be for you to stop them from getting into trouble all the time, and this is completely normal. Every parent goes through a phase like this, but if you want a solution then there are one or two things that you can do to make tears a thing of the past.
