Health and Beauty Tips from Our Winners:
AMARA: “Enjoying the outdoors in Florida is great, but often calls for a chemical-free ‘Bug-Away’ spray. I use Young Living essential oils because they are very pure and undiluted, but you can experiment with what you like best.”
“Bug-Away” Natural Spray
- 12 oz witch hazel or vodka (or 6 oz alcohol w/ 6 oz Watt-Ahh!)
- Pinch of sea salt
- 15 drops citronella oil
- 15 drops lemongrass oil
- 10 drops peppermint oil
- 10 drops tea tree oil
Shake well and reapply as needed.
Other essential oils that keep bugs away include lavender, geranium, basil, rosemary, eucalyptus, clove, cinnamon and cajeput- so experiment and have fun! (Many of these serve as an after-bite treatment, too!)

BILL: “Connect the Sun and the Earth. The Sun provides the necessary components for proper hormone development, including Vitamin D production. It also provides a stream of negative electrons and a number of spectrum photons, which the body can convert from one photosynthetic-like form of energy to another. Walk barefoot on the Earth to connect with a source of negative electrons, enhancing the capacity to heal and generate metabolic energy. All of this is related to water, I believe …”
EMMA: “My homemade Banana, Honey & Yogurt Facial Mask is the perfect ending to a stressful work week. I do Facial Fridays with my daughter every Friday night after a long week’s work and school for her. It’s also very relaxing for someone with a chronic neurological condition. After washing the mask off, spritz your fresh skin with Watt-Ahh!”
