Ok, so I usually don’t preach about products… but this one is worth telling anyone who will listen about. As many of you may know, mosquitoes and spiders love me…. and I mean LOVE ME! Therefore my concern, yet again, during my trip to Yellowstone was being eaten alive. Now most people wouldn’t care but I do. I have a very bad reaction to mosquito bites, so I fear those tiny, buzzing little pests. Not only that but I now worry about Abby and her health. I can cover myself in Cutter Deep Woods repellent and be ok, but what about her? She needs to be protected but at the same time, who wants to cover their 9 month old in chemicals? There is a solution and I find it works very well!
I have been a fan of Burts Bees products for years and they have made another winner! They have an insect repellent and as always it is made out of all natural ingredients. This stuff was great! I had to reapply it more often then your heavy duty repellents but I didn’t mind at all. The oil was great and I basically smelled like a citronella candle. You might be making a funny face about smelling that way, but hey… its better then the chemical smell of Cutter and Off brands. The other huge plus is that it is all natural, so I felt good about putting it on Abby and having her be protected without showering her in chemicals. Yay! Jillian even put some around the window sills of the car to keep the mosquitoes away if we were stopped and wanted to keep the windows to be open. It worked! Boy those little buggers hated the smell of that stuff! Score one for me!
