Mosquito Repellent Candles (DIY Saturday)
Welcome to another episode of DIY Saturday all you Savvy Naturalista’s! This will be a two part series were we discuss keeping mosquitoes away. This week we are making Mosquito Repellent Candles. They will be ready by the fourth of July. Most candles need a few weeks to cure, so these mosquito repellent candles make the perfect gift around the summer time. If you have been watching the news lately then you know Zika is on the rise. If you have not heard
about Zika just make these candles. That way you can be safe and ready for all those out door barbecues that are going to be happening pretty soon.
DIY Saturday is really a passion project that I really love doing on the blog. I am really happy to create these videos for you. Make sure you subscribe to my channel.
