Outdoor Party? No Bugs, Please!
Posted by: domestika in It's a Life, Outdoors and Garden
Another summertime weekend is rolling around… now, truthfully, aren’t you (just the tiniest bit) entertaining a daydream of patio and deck, barbecue and picnic, possibly even an intimate dinner a deux beneath the stars?
Mmmm…
Just one, er, fly in the ointment.
DEET and dining just don’t mix, and there’s nothing remotely romantic about sipping your bubbly through a bug veil…
Al fresco dining fans, take heart — and get some Tips for a Pretty Pest-Free Picnic from my guest post over at GlamNest, the Lifestyle blog of Glam.com.
(Do you see how cool I was about dropping that info? Yeah, like maybe I’m not hopping up and down, giggling like a mad thing, because Erika asked me to guest-post on GlamNest?! )
I’d love to hear what you think of my tips for keeping it pretty while keeping the bugs away — and I’d particularly love it if you’d drop a comment to share any insect-foiling tips of your own. After all, we’re all in this together, are we not? — defending the picnic table from those unwanted stingers and biters!

Hi Jen!
Just had to drop you a note and thank you for the fabulous post. You really are THE domestik goddess, and all of us at Glam love your piece. Have a great weekend and please be our guest goddess again soon!
Cheers,
Erika
It was great fun, Erika - and thanks, I’d love to do it again!
I wish I had some tips to add. I’m one of the few people who likes citronella, but since most of my family loathe it, the citronella candles remain unlit.
