Rain and other bugs

Wednesday, January 26th, 2011

Although I love the rain, it does bring about a lot of undesirables when you’re unprepared. Apart from soaked shoes and socks, there’s the constant fear of  cough, colds, flu and…mosquito bites!

Putting insect repellent regularly has never been a habit for me. I normally only remember to do so when I’m going on an outdoorsy trip or an overnighter in an unfamiliar place.

It was only recently when I decided to put on repellent more regularly when one of my friends introduced GUARD to me. Guard is the opposite of everything I hated in an insect repellent.

The smell: how I hate smelling like a chem lab! Probably one of the major reasons why I “forget” to put insect repellent on. Guard is surprisingly fresh-smelling— it won me over with its powder scent!

The feel: Another much welcome improvement of Guard is how easily it goes on skin! I None of that oily or greasy feel.

Of course, more than these, I am happy to note that I am insect-bite-free everyday!

Love, Esel
