Homemade Insect Repellent Recipe and Tips

Hey guys!  I made a blog entry with my recipe for Homemade Natural Insect Repellent and some tips and tricks to keeping the insects away this summer.  If you're interested come check it out!

I also have three cool giveaways going on right now! 

And I'm sorry for being to AWOL lately!  I am FINALLY back at work and working about 60 hours a week and having a blast!  This job is just for the summer though, so I'm sure I'll be back more in the fall.

The clicky thing doesn't work for me.

One thing that I've just heard about that is pretty eco-friendly as well is to have water filled clear baggies around.  It may just be an old wives tale, but I've had 2 people tell me that in the last week--that the water bouncing off the bag and sun irritates mosquito eyes, so they stay away.  Good for BBQs.  Don't know how many you'll need, I imagine that depends on the number of people around and the amount of space you are occupying.

A restaurant we go to does that.  I thought it was interesting.  I figured that's what it was for, but I'd never seen it.

Thanks! A friend of mine was just asking me if I knew anything about this.
