Just get a fresh leaf and rub it on your arms or neck etc. It's not an offensive scent and keeps the skeeters at bay:)Lady Locusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12661298925602199106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885548773613247997.post-67728941691962562312016-05-23T11:27:12.213-07:002016-05-23T11:27:12.213-07:00Thank you for this recipe!

I'm sure I was thinking, "I don't know if this will work so use extra." It is very efficient and really does only require 1-2 swipes which is a little bit difficult to get used to, but that's all it takes to do the job. Once I learned to trust that it worked (1-2 swipes,) there was no more shedding.Lady Locusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12661298925602199106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885548773613247997.post-47538061702632668772014-07-22T06:00:39.341-07:002014-07-22T06:00:39.341-07:00What a lovely recipe; love the coconut oil.
