DIY: Natural Bug Spray with Essential Oils

First off I want to share with you the WHY we are making natural bug spray. What is so bad with the store bought kind??? Well let me inform you my friend.

• First off they warn you NOT to breathe in bug spray it may give you poisoning. Have you ever successfully applied bug spray and NOT inhaled it? Yeah it is pretty hard.
• The chemical DEET that is in most bug spray is extremely harmful. Here are a few documented and tested side effects listed below:
•  Kidney/Liver Damage: Yes
• Sensitizer/Irritant: Yes
• Birth/Developmental Defects: Yes
• Detected in Groundwater: Yes
• Potential Leacher: Yes

 So maybe what I could find is not that much but the fact that bug spray can cause birth defects means this mama is staying away from it!!! So lets get to the fun part how do we make this amazing homemade bug spray? 

What you Need:
-Teaspoon of Epsom Salts 
-A Spray Bottle
-8 oz Which Hazel
-8 oz Water
-Thieves Essential Oil 15 Drops
-Peppermint Essential Oil 15 Drops
-Purification Essential Oil 15 Drops
-Citronella Essential Oil 15 Drops

What to Do:
-Add you Which Hazel into the spray bottle. Then add you Epsom Salt. Then add all your Essential Oils in. Shake it up! Then add your water. After that you are done! 

Unless you want to be cute like me and add a super fun label. I got the one on Pinterest. I swear to you the lady is skilled in making cute labels.
