The Arsenal

Having planned to spend most of Labor Day weekend sitting outside, and not wanting to bathe in chemicals that eat away at fairly sturdy materials (seriously, my sandals may never be the same!), I stocked up on Avon's Skin So Soft lotion and the Off fan.

The final count: July 4th - 19 bug bites; Labor Day weekend - 1 bug bite! I'm declaring that a success! And yes there were mosquitoes present, just not in the protective cloud of the Off fan. Highly recommend it, though it works best if you're just sitting in one spot.

BTW, why did everyone feel compelled to tell me that the top 3 things to attract mosquitoes are: sweat, pregnant women, and perfume? I was already paranoid after the 4th of July!
