A few weeks ago I posted about a mixture called the Vinegar of the Four Thieves. Last week I decided to get some, it came in today, and I was so excited that I made a batch almost immediately. Heh.
For a more in-depth look at what I'm talking about, I refer you to the above link. Concisely, the Vinegar is a very strong but effective bug repellent that can be used on anyone and anything externally (barring the obvious, like broken/sensitive skin or orifices). I made a tincture with 12 tablespoons of the herbal mixture and 1 quart of vinegar. (I started off with a pint, but it's too much for one little jar so it was moved to a quart instead).
This is about 5 minutes after pouring the vinegar over the herbs. See how dark it's getting already?
Here's a bit of plain apple cider vinegar for comparison. This is exciting stuff, people. I love this kind of thing. :3
So within the next 3-6 weeks I'll strain off the herbs, soak some crushed garlic in there for a few days, strain THAT off, and then it'll be ready for dilution and application. Nerg. *checks watch impatiently*

And now, for some levity. Here's a picture describing my life:
Seriously. They don't.
i must say that I love your weirdness though! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's good. :p And I wouldn't have it any other way, because I'm convinced that the more 'weird' or 'odd' a person is according to the standards of normality, the more interesting they are. At least, I hope that's the case. XD
DeleteI agree!!! :D I like being 'weird'. It just means I'm not a boring and serious person, and I like that!! :)
