    Jo, these oil blends sound delicious! I am definitely going to try the insect repellant - going out my back door anytime after 4pm is a huge adventure for me in avoiding things that bite. How often do you need to spray yourself to keep it working?

    Pink grapefruit is one of my favourite scents, so I’ll also definitely be trying the Refresh Me body oil as the weather heats up here.

    Thank you for sharing these with us.
