I have been doing testing for a couple months for several new products, on my own body. I have sensitive skin, I am white as a sheet of paper when winter is over, I live in the woods with the mosquitoes and other biting bugs.
I have been using my own homemade lotion with a different blend of oils that are supposed to have natural sun blocking qualities, so far I have not gotten a sunburn, not even pink and that is with 2 - 3 hour sun exposure, plus I wear it daily. But I do have a nice tan going on!
I have made my own insect repellent using a blend that does NOT make you smell like vinegar, it worked 98%, meaning I had 2 mosquitoes land on my arm, none on my legs at all.
I feel confident enough to offer these to the public, so I worked on the online store this morning.
I made another batch of honeysuckle jelly, I am also getting stock for the physical store, coming soon! When I get the physical going I will be able to offer food in the online store as well.
I have an order to fill tonight 
and mail out tomorrow.
How was your Sunday?

@andriaperry I got out a bit yesterday and during the week I will go check out the Waterfront Park we have nearby. I got a peek at Oreo's kittens today. Small furry lumps of black and white. She is still very protective of them so I leave them alone.

Thank you. I am trying to build the stock up now, The lotion is the best, I made me my own batch and placed it in the bathroom, I use the unscented so not to bother Tony.

@andriaperry The mosquitoes have become a serious problem here. I use commercial sprays but they smell so bad.

I had to try, or go buy off. Here the mosquitoes are horrible.

@andriaperry yes, I do not use it now. There are many repellents available nowadays but there was a time that Off lotion was the only one available and we had no choice but that. And it really smells horrible and the icky feeling when you put it in your body

Off does not feel good and stinks. I feel so nasty after using it.
