I love sitting outside by the pool during the Summer, but always get eaten up by Mosquitoes until we tried this Homemade Mosquito Repellent. Mosquitoes seem to love me and make going outside such a pain and a constant battle. I hate using store bought sprays or candles not knowing what chemicals i’m breathing in or spraying on my skin. This is a safe way to keep those pesty little guys away and it really works!

All you have to do is add the lemon slices, lime slices, and rosemary to a small glass. Add in the lemon eucalyptus oil, then fill the jar with water. Place the floating tea candle on top of the water. When you light the candle, the solution will become extremely pungent and does a great job of keeping mosquitoes at away. Also keeping you from breathing in chemicals from store bought candles.
