Just like the friends and eligible men that follow everywhere you go, it’s impossible to keep pesky mosquitos away. The blood-suckers are like your own personal paparazzi: hungry and relentless.

The next time you entertain al fresco, swat away the smelly Off and fire up a gorgeous citronella oil lamp from Laura U instead. Starting at $15, these round pots fit any stylish mood you’re in, from mod white to romantic rose. They’re perfect outdoors to keep the bugs at bay, or inside to burn scented oils.

If only you could keep the party-crashers and shutter bugs away from your exclusive soiree.

Visit Discovery Green on Thursdays from 4 – 7:30 p.m. to pick up organic produce and other local goodies from the weekly farmer’s market and co-op. The food is so fresh that downtown chefs like Ryan Pera of The Grove stop by to stock up their kitchens.
