Back in the "olden days", work was plentiful and cash was less so. People improvised when they couldn't afford some of the unnecessary "extras". Nice women pinched their cheeks, rather than daring to apply rouge. And instead of perfume, it wasn't uncommon for a woman to dab some vanilla on her pulse points before heading out for a social engagement.
I had heard of this years ago (probably from watching "Little House on the Prarie"), and was reminded of it a couple of years ago I ran into an old acquaintance. We greeted with hugs and I noticed that she smelled great. I asked her what she was wearing and she replied simply, vanilla. There were a number of vanilla colognes on the market at the time, and I asked her which one. She replied, just pure vanilla extract.
Well I recently learned another advantage of using vanilla as perfume - it repels mosquitos! No more stinky spray. Now you can have it all. Smell great, repel mosquitos, show your concern for the environment and save money!
Now, the other thing you could do, is move somewhere, where the mosquitos aren't biting, somewhere like ....Puerto Penasco, Mexico!
