Want to fend off bugs naturally? Research has shown that some plant oils and natural ingredients combat pests as well as those harsh and harmful products. For all spray-on applications, dilute 20 drops of essential oil with 1 cup grape seed oil and 1 1/2 cups of purified water (shake well).
Ants? Use Peppermint essential oil or Citronella essential oil, use 3-5 drops on windowsills, doorways and under the sink.
Blackflies? Use Cinnamon oil or Tumeric oil, spray or dab on clothing and exposed skin.
Cockroaches? Use Citrus oil, especially kaffir lime oil, spray on problem areas.
Mosquitos? Use catnip oil or Thyme oil, spray or dap on clothing or exposed skin.
Ticks? Use Lemon eucalyptus oil, spray or dab on clothing and exposed skin.
Have a great weekend everyone!!

I know I post a lot about cleaners on Waggin’ Wednesdays, and in general, but I think that it is the easiest and most beneficial set of products that cause us the most environmental and physical harm – and an easy way to make your pets live and smell a little better!
Green Bulldog makes high quality Eco-Friendly Cleaning and Pet Care Products. (They also have super cute pics of animals on the site!) They offer a Pet Shampoo – 16 ounce Concentrated shampoo with certified organic ingredients such as tea tree oil, neem oil, and eucalyptus oil for leaving your pet’s coat clean and shiny, soothing itchy skin, and warding off ticks and fleas.
Thanks to Kelly, here’s some additional info: Green Bulldog offers a lot of great products for pet owners. Another product I recommend is Fur-Zoff. It removes pet hair from fabrics and it’s made from recycled materials. They sell them for only $10 at http://www.furzoff.net
Recently, Meghan and I visited my favorite shop in Savannah GA – Nourish, a great source for natural and eco-friendly soaps, lotions, etc. I have already had a chance to try out “don’t BUG by DOG soap” on my gremlin, and it leaves her fresh smelling and has worked on all of the bugs that reside in Florida.
While I highly suggest visiting their store, you can also visit online and purchase all of your yummy smelling soaps and awesome assessories.
Need to feel clean after wrangling your pet through a bath/shower? Victoria Secret is having a sale on their “Naturally Victoria’s Secret” beauty line – buy 2 get 1 free. (Use offer code “NATURALLY“)
I know I’m enjoying my Acai Berry & Magnolia lotion, and the Blackberry & Tonka Bean “all-over moisture salve”. Both smell great, delicate but long lasting.
ALSO – if you purchase today, get 25% off any single item with code “VS25SAVE“.
Not clean and smelling good enough? Worrying about what to get the man in your life for Father’s Day?
Bath & Body Works is having a sale on their Lucky Tiger line for Men. Get a Free Shave Cream Sample with any Lucky Tiger Purchase.
What makes it green you asked?
- Certified organic olive fruit oil lubricates and protects
- Certified organic calendula extract cools and promotes healing
- Certified organic chamomile extract calms and soothes
Go forth and get mean clean and green!

I came home after work to discover a poor Isabelle with a sick stomach, NOT what you want to come home to…smelling…
So my mind started running, and I started googling some eco-friendly alternatives for odor absorbing and cleaning products for our furry friends.
I have been wanting to try these “Odor Crystals” from my favorite pet supply site, Dr. Fosters & Smith ,and they carry a great line of stain removers, deoderizers and disinfectants.
Then I found the motherload: a great website offering green living, yoga, fitness and organic products - Gaiam. They have a pet section, “Natural Home and Garden Products” section, and their “Cleaners” section for great eco-friendly cleaning products. They also have a promo with free standard shipping on any of their select water bottles.
What I love is they have the whole Seventh Generation product line available for sale – I’ve mentioned how great this company and their products are a few times before.
Sign up for their weekly e-newsletter (which says they have deals and promos) and enter yourself into their Spring Green Sweepstakes!
P.S. I’ve got a GREAT giveaway starting this Thrifty Thursday – check it out tomorrow!!
