Of All The Places


to get bit by a mosquito, on the ring finger of my left hand (dominant) underneath my rings! To help with the crazy itching, I used a roller bottle of palmarosa essential oil in a carrier of refractionated coconut oil. Ah, relief!

  1. Whoah, that looks painful! I am also left-handed. I hope you heal soon. Are you allergic to them by chance? That is some bite. Glad you could get some relief.

    1. I never thought about allergies to mosquitoes. I thought everyone got large welts. I do have allergic reactions to bee stings (wasp and hornets) and to spider bites. Sadly, no super hero, spidey powers.

    1. It's actually a Christmas ornament so it becomes a ring holder the rest of the year. :-D

    2. I saw the hanger :) I love that it stays out all year. We have a couple of things that don't get put away after the season. Fun :)

  6. How awful. Even the angel is displeased. Hope it heals quickly because I know how those buggers itch for days on end.

  7. Do you actually keep your rings on one of those don't blink angels? They are the scariest. Hope the itch goes away soon. Hugs-Erola

    1. Yes, the Weeping Angels are my favorite Doctor Who monster. Using the Weeping Angel as a ring holder, is a bit like playing chicken. Who's going to blink first? :-D
