In closing I want you all to know I've succumbed to my environment... I surrendered my lovely Victoria's Secret perfume to Garlic juice! Yep you heard me! I tried many remedies including the Burts Bees Herbal insect repellent hoping to repel the ginormous AK mosquitoes... I think they actually liked it! I heard if you incorporate garlic in your diet it will secrete thru your skin and repel the mosquitoes... I must not have eaten enough... so I literally rubbed the garlic juice on my body.... pretty sexy uh! ...when in Rome.... :) I am honing in on my mosquito swatting skills...the trick is to slowly sneak up on them! Trust me - those big guys leave a mark!
