# What Bugs You?


It's that time of year when the sunsets are breathtaking and the mosquitoes are out for a feast. If you are like me it is not the most pleasant time. For whatever reason I tend to be a mosquito magnet. I swell up from the bites and start looking like I have chicken pox. The itch is relentless. Recently I have found a new gadget, not going to lie it burns when using but presto the itch and the bump are gone. It works, it doesn't prevent the bite but it sure does provide relief. The insect bite healer <a href="https://www.amazon.ca/Beurer-Chemical-Free-Treatment-Provides-Swelling/dp/B0B4HXDZWZ" rel="nofollow sponsored" target="_blank">Beurer Chemical-Free Bite Relief Treatment Provides Relief from Itching and Swelling</a> is going to be a game changer this year. Also I like to have the executioner on hand while sitting out. <a href="https://www.amazon.ca/Executioner-Wasp-Bug-Mosquito-Swatter/dp/B004J4WN6K" rel="nofollow sponsored" target="_blank">The Executioner Wasp, Bug, & Mosquito Swatter Zapper - Batteries Included</a> and someone has recommended <a href="https://www.amazon.ca/Summit-20-Count-Mosquito-Dunks/dp/B004J4WN6K" rel="nofollow sponsored" target="_blank">Summit Mosquito Dunks</a> to me. Sometimes being mindful is looking to squash out what bugs you so you can be in the moment!

Wishing you all a few less bugs! Don't let those little critters take away from your joy.
