Natural Bug Spray

Natural Bug Spray

Every summer, I whip up a batch of natural bug spray to use throughout the warm, buggy months.

It’s a combination of essential oils and vodka!

It’s easy, smells great, and helps to keep bugs away and when you get a bug bite, the lavender reduces the itche!

Let me show you how!
