This summer I have suffered so much with insect bites! Baking soda mixed with a bit of water then applied to the skin make SUCH a good treatment for itchy skin. It has been a lifesaver 🙂

Becky- I love your printables they are always so cute and colorful. The problem I have is my printer wont print color so I just get nothing. Could you make an option for black and white? My printer CAN print color I just can’t afford the color cartridge so I only have black. So if I try to print something with color it doesn’t come out.

Becky,
What is the purpose of the essential oil, just the aroma, or is it necessary in the mixture.
Thanks.
Becky Says
Post authorEssential oils can have cleaning and disinfecting properties and they add a nice fragrance. In all of these recipes they are primarily added for scent.

This is so great and a cheap alternative! I can already see myself putting these in homemade containers with labels and laminate guides hanging from them. However. I’m a little confused about essential oils. Do you mean just essential oils to make it the solutions smell good?
