I have been very lucky to date, as I have yet to run into the icky, painful bloodsucking pests known as bed-bugs, that hide in the floorboards and come out at night to feast on human flesh.
Miniature vampires of the travel world.
But there are many who have not been so lucky.
And you’ll know if you are one of them, because you’ll wake up with red, itchy bites and bumps over your body.
In fact, I am getting the heebie-jeebies just typing this.
Once thought to just frequent the ‘fleabag’ hotels and hotels, the critters are now showing up in posh hotels and resorts.
Other than checking the mattress corners upon arrival at my hotel, and my luggage upon return home- I haven’t really thought much about them.
And being an environmentally friendly gal, the thought of spraying any type of repellent as a form of prevention was a no-no for me, because most sprays are full of chemicals.
But I recently heard about a new all-natural product called Rest Easy
– that seems like it might just be a great solution.
First, let me say- I have not been contacted buy this company. I have not been paid to discuss or promote it. And most importantly, I have not yet tried it.
It sounded like something I would try though- and seeing that it is all natural alternative to a chemical repellent- I thought some of you might like to try it as well.
Rest Easy is made with the essential oils of cinnamon, lemongrass, clove and mint. It is designed to kill, or at least keep away, bed bugs. The idea is that upon arrival to your hotel, spray the room, your bed and also your luggage.
And wanna know the best part?
Rest Easy comes in perfectly portable, 2-Ounce Bottles
And that’s something this Carry-On Queen is very excited about!
