RE: Homemade Gnat Repellent
Oh my wow! Most repellents smell repellent, but one with banana oil? How smashing!
I have a million more thoughts I want to share, but I am stuck replying on my phone. Going garnet hunting all day tomorrow, then I'm going to continue this ramble, I'm super impressed with your ideas, can't wait to hear about your formula experimentations😊
Garnet hunting?? Locally? Hmmm.... you peaked my curiosity there! We have a spot WAY up north that we are going to at the end of the month, but someplace much closer would be nice to know of! I hope you find the motherload!
The banana and vanilla make the stuff smell EXACTLY like Bubble Yum or Bubblicous regular flavor gum. Their formula must contain the 2 flavors to some degree. The first time I sprayed the repellent on my skin I was instantly transported back to childhood and the flavor of the gum.
Oh I am so sorry it took me three whole days to reply back, it's been beyond banana oil round here, LOL!
The Emerald Creek Garnet Area is south of Saint Maries, Idaho, so a bit of a jaunt for ya, but not too far. Totally a fun day trip. I always bring home over a pound of star garnets, but then again I get a bit of garnet fever and dig like a fiend, LOL
Oh, your formula sounds delish! I would want to lick my arms if it smelled like Bubblicious, what a flashback! I am super impressed!
