Natural Peanut Butter Candy Cookies : I love candy,  so do my kids.  I am often concerned that my kids are putting too much artificial in their body’s.  When Little Secrets offer me the opportunity to send me their new line of  premium, natural candy-coated chocolate with no artificial ingredients, flavors, colors or corn syrup brings the fun back to small indulgences with its line of four amazing chocolate candies.  It was a win win with for my family.

Little Secrets offers conscious consumers four premium flavors of candy-coated chocolate made with high quality ingredients. The line features four decadent  offerings, including Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate Raspberry, Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter and Dark Chocolate. All flavors are Fair Trade Certified, and are made with 100% natural ingredients.

I have to say I love the Dark Chocolate Little Secrets Candy it is a more mature flavor.  The dark chocolate was not the favorite of the kids.  Which was fine because the Hubby and I hid ourselves away with the bags and watched movies without the kids.  The peanut butter was similar to a certain candy made famous by a alien who want to use a cell phone but all natural.

The kids absolutely love the milk chocolate.

How To Make Natural Bug Repellent

natural bug sprayHow to make your Natural Bug Repellent So I have been researching natural ways to  avoid mosquitoes and flies from biting my family.  How to make your own  bug repellent ? So during my research I learned flies / mosquitoes hate basil and lavender.  I did more research and learned that witch hazel reduces itching.  So I decided to combined some ingredients and see what will work to deter the pests.

girl picking lavenderI went to a local lavender farm Peace Valley Lavender Farm  in DoyelsTwon PA.  I was talking to the owner and he said you know we never really have a bug issue except for the bees which pollinate our plants.   While at the farm I purchased Lavender oil.  Then I purchased sweet basil oils from a holistic healing shop that carried essential oils.   You can also purchase the essential oil online as well or whole foods.
Basil oil has an anise smell,  which is strong at first then you smell the under tones of lavender in the spray.
Witch Hazel is a anti-inflammatory and helps to reduce itching,  it also helps with pre-existing bites and sunburn to cool the burn.

This spray works great for my family. I like the idea of making a non toxic Natural Bug Repellent

  • 2 cups Witch hazel,
  • 2 tbl spoons 95% alcohol,
  • 20 -30 drops Lavender oil,

Mix the ingredients in a spray bottle.

  • Please note .. dbl check person you are spraying is not allergic to the ingredients.
  • Avoid spraying In eyes
  • Do not drink

I also wanted to let you know if planted  Basil and Lavender around a perimeter  of a home has the same replellant affect.  Lavender does attract bees the month they bloom (late June-Aug).   Any variety of either plant Basil or lavender will repel  so  add them to picnic table décor  to keep the pest away from food.basil and lavender plants
