These are some great ideas! I always like to take a little better than kisses “owie stick” for my kiddos for the bumps and bruises! Thank you Plant Therapy for all of the DIY ideas.
Can I just say how much I love you guys at PT. You always have a recipe to try and new and interesting info and DIY’s. I’m just so thankful I found you. Love this blog post. ❤️. I’m going to try the lotion bars for sure!
Nice article. Thank you!
Love the variety of DIYs for outdoor activities! I’ve long been looking for a list like this, thank you!
Thank you so much!!! Been trying to find good outdoor recipes for the family. We live in an area with so many mosquitoes. Absolutely cannot wait to try them.
Very nice blog, as usual! The non-toxic bug spray is truly effective. I have a bottle spray ready that I bring with me on places that I know we’d need protection against bug bites. I will make the buzz-off lotion bars. It sounds like another winner!
