Bug Spray Using Essential Oils

Most recipes I've seen on the internet use an 8oz spray bottle but I don't think I want to carry a bottle that large in my purse or gym bag so I made this recipe based on the use of a more portable 2 oz. bottle.

2 oz. glass spray bottle
1 oz. water
1 oz. witch hazel or vodka
2 drops each of citronella, tea tree oil, peppermint, eucalyptus, and lemongrass
(Optional 1-2 drops of lavender if you like the scent)

Pour all ingredients into the bottle, seal with the spray attachment that comes with the bottle, and shake to combine the ingredients

This is my modified recipe for a 2 oz. bottle using blended oils:

1 oz. water
1 oz. witch hazel or vodka
2 drops each of Purification oil blend, Thieves oil blend, and peppermint.
