A few weeks ago I was all fired up about making my own bug spray. I had my list and went to the store - and after seeing how much it was going to cost - I put it all back lol! Seriously - it was like $40+ for all the things I needed. I was wandering the store aimlessly and then I found this - on the bottom of the shelf and it was dusty and very easy to miss! It was still a little expensive at $9, but way better than the price to make it on my own. I definitely still plan to try making my own, but I need to collect the ingredients over time to help negate the cost. At least I know it will work - the recipe I was using had the same ingredients - but of course this had a lot of additional ones as well. We tried it out for a 2 hour walk in the woods and it worked great! Usually I would have ended up with at least 10 mosquito bites (seriously - they love me!), but I only got one - and even then it was a pretty small bite compared to what I have ended up with in the past. It also smells better than the sprays I have used in the past. Overall I definitely think it is worth using - but (here is the downside) it looks like it might be discontinued. I tried to look for the ingredients since I forgot to take a picture or write them down and I couldn't find it on the Kiss My Face website. I may just have to go back and buy all of the dusty bottles off the shelf!!
