By the way Terry - you will want to mix the Citronella Patchouli mixture in some water and spritz it on. I would do one or two drops of each to about an ounce of water.

You are right. Body chemistry has a lot to do with what works for you or not. Mint Essential Oils are great for keeping bugs off, also Citronella Essential Oil is very effective. If you mix a couple of drops of that along with some Patchouli, you may find success in fighting off the bugs. Let me know how that works for you. PS **You only need a little Citronella - it goes a long way!

Bugs don't like Peppermint -- good to know!

I am always a bug's #1 target for bites, no matter who I'm with, I get swarmed. I had read that Avon lotion was also good for keeping bugs away, but I guess it doesn't work for everyone?!?

this sounds like a great idea! I would love to hear more about what you do! I post information about yoga, health and wellness around the world. I created my own homemade yummy sugar scrub with essential oils and I have been doing a lot of research about the health benefits of essential oils. i would love to talk to you. jill@lovepeaceyoga.com

WOW, so glad I found this site and this group. I met Terry, one of the co-founders, yesterday and she suggested it. A little about me... I own SPArties Mobile Spa (www.sparties.com) We specialize in on-site spa services for individuals and groups AND we transform your entire location into a day spa. I started it in FL in 2001 and brought it to the Northeast in 2004. I still run both locations and have federally trademarked the term/name SPArties. It's been a labor of love and many challenges along the way, but I LOVE what I do and SPArties is absolutely my baby!
I look forward to sharing ideas, getting advice and forming many great relationships through this site. Thanks so much and keep in touch!

I absolutly love this group.. I am into what oils or fragrances do for the mind body and soul.
ylang- ylang is one of my favorites . I spray it on our pillowcases with lavendar and that is the best way to end the day......

Welcome all new members. FYI - Did you know that bugs hate peppermint? Using a peppermint essential oil is much safer than regular bug sprays and it smells much more pleasant! Enjoy those summer days!!!!
