This is 1 of the 'surprises' from July's Oil of The Month Club. If you'd like more details please feel free to private message me or comment below.
I've had some great fun with this oil 🙂 I've been using it daily as a way to set the mood as it's quite uplifting and offers a 'wake up' type of energy.
I've also used it to keep flies and other pesky flying bugs away while outside on the porch. I've put a drop or 2 on a cotton ball and also on the wicker basket edge which sits on my back porch. Smells lovely to me but I'm guessing the flies / flying bugs aren't too fond of it hehehe!
I'll be giving it a try for my husband as an insect repellent this weekend when he's working in the yard. Biting bugs seem to really enjoy him so I'll let you know how it works out.
