Step 3: Prune and Clear The Clutter – Everyone has the same 168 hours in the week.  This video shares how to re-prioritize and ensure we utilize them well.

Step 4: Purge Your Pantry – This video shares what foods to get rid of and how to start making way for the better-for-you items in your pantry – it’s the difference between “phood” and “food!”

Mosquitno Bands

August 27, 2014

images-1 images-2 images

My 4 yr old is near tragically allergic to mosquito bites – the tiniest bite on me is an oozing pancake size welt that last over a week on him.  It’s painful for him and for me to witness.  We’ve tried everything – sleeping with clothes on head – to – toe, sealed windows, etc.  But he is still getting bit all summer.

We are onto you, mosquitos! And, these Mosquitno bands may be the answer.  The adorable fun-colored wrist bands or stickers keeps bugs away so you can enjoy what you love to do outdoors or indoors.  Rather than typical messy bug sprays, these innovative insect repellent products are fun, and easily integrated into favorite outdoor activities.  Just slip on a wristband, sticker or shirt and enjoy the outdoors bug-free.  Mosquitno repellents products suit a range of preferences from our all-natural citronella-infused repellent wristbands and repellent stickers.

All-natural, Non-toxic wristbands made of silicone rubber infused with 100% citronella oil.

Each Mosquitno Bands contains enough citronella to effectively repel bugs for up to 150 hours (or six days) and the bands are waterproof so your sweat won’t wash the citronella away. 

So far, my kid is sleeping in the band to keep those suckers away at night, since that is when they seem to party down on him.  My daughter thinks the stickers are adorable and is wearing them to camp.  So far, no bites and ALL GOOD.  YAY!
