5 WAYS to KEEP PESTS AWAY// @home, lifestyle

THE not so GREAT OUTDOORS

How was your weekend ? We are in the midst of some hot weather here and the best place to sit is outside in the shade and cooler spot , no direct sun. But it never seems to fail the pesky pests
come around. Those dreaded mosquitos !!! I am always getting bite by them.

So what to do or somethings to help stop the bugs from bugging you .

Its said not to wear any fragrances, so perfume colognes and even the scent of soap is an attraction.

Another idea is to plant certain flowers that repel those pests. So that sounds like a great idea.

LAVENDER is a good start, not only does it repel pests it also smells divine and is useful for other things, like to hang in your clothes closet to deter pests .

BASIL another super idea, if you like to have some herbs in your garden or containers, its a great idea.

Not only is it good to add to your salads , it too works to deter mosquitos.

ROSEMARY another herb that works against pest coming around. It also looks nice as a decorative plant

MARIGOLDS are also another option the flowers scent is enough to chase the little creatures away.

CITRONELLA

the one we all have heard of and find in candles, but you can also

plant a citronella in your garden .

A good little plant with a almost fern like appearance.

So grab your shovel and pots and lets get planting!

I find it is also a great way to add colour and interest

on the terrace or balcony areas.

What do you use to discourage the bugs and pests?

Pockets please!!/ fashion

Well as the title says…. Pocket s please! This week has been a very painful week. I recently injured my knee badly. Not able to move stand or walk. When finally bit better I finally managed to move . I needed something to wear that I could put my phone in , glasses medicine in. Any dress I thought I could use didn’t have pockets for anything. Why??? When I think back there usually were pocket inserts nicely sewn on inside of slacks or dresses. Now you rarely find that . I guess it’s a cost saving , less material needed and no extra time used sewing a pockrr er r in. Maybe it’s to give an outfit a more neat look, no bulging pockets. Meanwhile mens wear there are always pockets. Do you like outfit with pockets?
