DIY Bug Balm

Bugs are very active during the summer, which can be annoying if you can't keep them away. This DIY Bug Balm keeps bugs at bay, and can also be used to soothe bites! The balm is made with all-natural ingredients, meaning there are no synthetic chemicals, so it’s family safe! You can find the recipe for the balm here!

 

DIY Beach Waves Salt Spray

Taming your hair into the perfect beach waves can seem like it requires a lot of steps or a specific product, but you can make a fantastic salt spray in your own home! The spray can be used to give your hair texture to allow you to style it into a casual, textured look that looks just like you've just left the ocean. You can also customize it by adding a few drops of your favorite essential oil(s.) We recommend lemon, orange, and vanilla for a sweet, citrusy scent!) You can find the recipe here!
