Summertime means picnics! Lots of fun, but often they can be a bit of a dilemma. What do we pack our goodies in? How to we keep the bugs away? What can we do to keep the kiddos busy when they aren’t eating? Today I have the answer to all three!
Easy Lunchboxes
First – let’s tackle packing the food. I love EasyLunchboxes. They make for perfect breakfast lunch and dinner offerings. Everyone can have their own meals, tucked inside an easy to pack container, that goes right in the dishwasher once you get home. Bright, colorful and just the right size for young and old alike. I’ve been using these handy dandy containers for years and they are the BEST. Not just for picnics, but for home / office / travel and best of all – portion control. These make meal prep a breeze! I’ve also had the great pleasure of meeting Kelly Lester, the Creator and CEO of EasyLunchboxes and she is more fun than a barrel of monkeys!

BugBand
Next – How to keep bugs at bay. BugBand is the safe and effective insect repellent that works from naturally derived Geraniol! Sometimes when I read the ingredients on the label of bug repellent I think it’s safer to get bit! All the chemicals…it’s down right scary. BugBand products are DEET-Free. Safe for the whole family when used as directed on the labels. The products have a pleasant odor and don’t irritate my skin!
About BugBand
With its decades of experience developing odor-control products, EES, Inc., partnered with the University of Florida, Gainesville, which was undertaking a long-term study on the effectiveness of Geraniol as an mosquito repellent. EES is now the exclusive manufacturer and distributor of products using the patented technology under the BugBand brand.
So, what is Geraniol and how does is work?
Geraniol, the active ingredient in BugBand mosquito repelling products. One way Geraniol is extracted is by a steam distillation process from many types of plants including Geraniums. Geraniol has been used for many years for a variety of purposes and can be found in foods, drinks, cosmetics, perfumes, plus many odor masking and deodorizing products.
Geraniol + other BugBand ingredients is considered a minimal risk pesticide ingredient by EPA standards. (Does not require registration by the USA EPA and has been exempted from registration under FIFRA).
Geraniol is a biodegradable ingredient that is safe to use. There is minimal human and environmental toxicity when products containing geraniol are used as directed on their labels.
Geraniol has a relatively high vapor pressure and gives off a dilute vapor into the air stream which acts as an area repellent. Mosquitoes sense the vapors and avoid them. This helps repel mosquitoes before they land. The tendency of Geraniol to evaporate makes it work as the active ingredient in BugBand Insect Repellent Spray Lotion , the BugBand Insect Repelling Band , BugBand Towelettes with Insect Repelling Lotion , and other BugBand mosquito repellent products.
