Remember, what we put on our skin ends up INSIDE our body! Our skin is the largest organ we are walking around with – let’s feed it quality substances. When it comes to living a healthy and organic lifestyle, what we lather on our bod is just as significant as what we put in our mouths. Here is a wonderful DIY essential oil blend that will work like a charm to keep those ticks off of you, your family and your pets!
