I’m sure you have all heard of these. Encephalitis, West Nile, Zika… I have zero desire to contract any one of these diseases, or the multitude of others carried by mosquitos! It’s really incredible that such a tiny little bug can cause so much damage to human health. And that is why I’m keeping plenty of this homemade mosquito repellent spray on hand throughout the summer months to help combat those nasty bloodsuckers! We need to put them in their places! Which is nowhere near me, my family or my pets!! Because we can all admit that our pets are members of our family just like our little ones. 

As you probably know, mosquitos can set up shop during the summer months in standing water—that’s where mosquitoes lay their eggs and where their larvae live and grow so it’s really important to be vigilant around your property to prevent these areas where mosquitos can breed and thrive. Unfortunately, even if you’ve eliminated any...

Hey ya’ll!! This week has flown by but I didn’t forget about you…Who wants to do some pampering??? 

A warm, luxurious bath is sometimes just what you need at the end of a long or stressful day. You can take your relaxation to the next level by combining essential oils and bath salts. As the salt and oils interact with the warm water, you will get to enjoy the lovely aroma of essential oils as they soothe the body and awaken the senses—making your soak in the tub even more rejuvenating. 

Ingredients: 

• 1 cup Epsom salt
• 10 drops Lavender oil 

Instructions: 

Add Lavender oil to Epsom salt and stir together.
1. Draw a warm bath and add 1⁄4–1⁄2 cup of Epsom salt to the tub. 

2. Soak until you are relaxed and refreshed. 

I hope you find time to pamper yourself.  You deserve it!!
