    So I'm sitting on the front steps (yeah, I'm a stoop kid), reading hf, and soaking up the sunshine when outta friggin nowhere a bumblebee the size of a ping pong ball dive bombs my head......... :hide:

    After picking up what was left of my dignity, it Dawned on me.....
    I always rub a little lavender oil on my dreads after a wash! They thought I was a friggin flower! :daisy:

    Needless to say I won't be wearing lavender until it gets cold again. Any ideas as to new scents I can try? I'm kinda stuck in a rut. Thanks in advance!

    Mmm, good idea wf. I usually go for pretty heady stuff though. I thought about Jasmine. Anybody know of any good scents to mix?

    i like peppermint!

    i'm not sure if that keeps away the insects though. but i think it does. i know peppermint soap keeps away fleas on animals.
