Homemade Bug Spray

Ingredients:

• Essential oils: choose from Citronella, Clove, Lemongrass, Rosemary, Tea Tree, Cajeput, Eucalyptus, Cedar, Catnip, Lavender, Mint
• Natural Witch Hazel
• Distilled or boiled Water
• Vegetable glycerin (optional)

Directions: 

1. Fill spray bottle (I used 8 ounce) 1/2 full with distilled or boiled water
2. Add witch hazel to fill almost to the top
3. Add 1/2 tsp vegetable glycerin if using
4. Add 30-50 drops of essential oils to desired scent. The more oils you use, the stronger the spray will be. My personal favorite scents are citronella and lemongrass. 

It costs a fraction of the name brands and BONUS:  this homemade stuff won't mess with your endocrine system!!!  Spray on, friends.

Something I want to master in 2013

I want to learn how to have a messy hair look that isn't crazy-my-brush-attacked-me-and-now-my-hair-is-crying-for-help look.  I don't know how to make my hair messy without it scaring small children and making people think I forgot to take my special Thursday pill.  (Sigh.) 

I saw a girl in Target with a super cute outfit AND she had crazy hair.  It seemed a little selfish of her to have both a cute outfit AND crazy/messy hair.  She, also, wore glasses.  Over-achiever, right?

Any-who...if anyone out there knows how to create cute, messy hair -- would you please comment on this post?
