OK, so this stuff (sent to me ℅ as part of an earlier post)? Is PHENOMENAL. So phenomenal that it deserves its very own mini-feature.
I set out a few cans of The Honest Co.’s Bug Spray for my friends to use during my backyard Sprinkle (more on this bizarre and kind of great Baby Shower Lite idea here), and there was collective agreement on its general phenomenalness. The adults loved it, and the kids were more or less indifferent to it (which is basically a miracle, because small children and spray-on products are tantrums waiting to happen).
Why am I bestowing such grand praise upon bug spray, of all things? Because it’s made from bug-repelling essential oils rather than chemicals (I’ve always hated how chemical-y most drugstore bug sprays seem, and always feel iffy about spraying them on my son), so it’s a hypoallergenic, paraben- and DEET-free way to handle the fact that we live next to an extremely buggy lake (sigh). Also, the scent is lovely and citrus-y, and smells more like a perfume called “Camping” than like actual bug spray, so I found myself reapplying it “just because” (as opposed to what I usually do with bug spray, which is apply it on while performing a misery-dance that involves keeping my face out of the mist at all costs).
Just FYI.
