Did you know that there is such a thing as “too hot for mosquitoes,” but it’s not a good trade. Unfortunately, here in South Texas we get both, at different times of the day. I truly hate putting DEET on my sweet babies Pirates and even if I do, they still get bit.

I haven’t got the solution to not getting bit in the first place, but once they’re bit, I’ve got the cure. We call it the “itch goop.” The folks at Burt’s Bees call it Res-Q-Ointment. It’s just the thing. It takes the itch right out and I love the way it smells. Very natural, very herbal.

It’s also good for scrapes and minor cuts. Just add bandaids and yer ’bout ready for anything. I keep two in the house and one in my purse. You don’t want to keep it in the car in the summer-time, because the base is olive oil and it will liquefy at high heat.

I buy mine at the HEB (that’s our grocery). If yours doesn’t have it, try Whole Foods or you can order online.

I do have a giveaway goin’ on right now. It’s not over till June 30th, but if you don’t enter now yer libel to forget.
