Hot

At my age in the Ozarks, I can't tell you if it's due to weather or hormones, but without a doubt, I'm "hot!"  I've discovered a wonderful natural remedy!  A couple of drops of peppermint oil rubbed into the back of my neck, just beneath my hair.  

As Jerry Reed once sang, "When You're Hot, You're Hot!"   Be ready with Peppermint Essential Oil.

As I am writing this and listening to the rain fall, I want to share a couple of things that will make summertime a bit more enjoyable with fewer mosquitoes in your life.

Make sure to empty any containers of standing water.   Standing water is literally the breeding ground for mosquitoes.

Extra Vitamin B1 makes you less attractive to mosquitoes.  I can't explain it, but it works.

Thyme oil diluted is a great tick and flea repellent for pets.  Thyme oil is "hot" so it should not be applied neat, be sure to add it to a carrier oil.
