OFF_winner

lamp_lantern For the 4th of July weekend we went camping with family members at Boulder Beach which is on Lake Mead. It was a fun weekend despite the sweltering heat, but we did find refuge floating on the lake on our inflatable rafts during the day.

The Family Review Network had asked me to review the Off! PowerPad Lamp so I thought this would be a good opportunity to try it out, and it worked great! We sat it on the picnic table and it provided light and kept the bugs away for the entire evening.

The power to repel is in the pad

  • Protects an area up to 15x greater than citronella candles or buckets
  • Relightable & refillable
  • Lasts up to 4 hours per candle + pad combo

OFF! PowerPad Lamp & Lantern Giveaway: To enter for your chance to win a Off! PowerPad Lamp all you need to do is leave a comment on this post telling me about your favorite summer outdoor activity.

I love to garden. I am outside almost everyday, sometimes until after the sun goes down. I could really use a few of these, the misquitos can get really bad here and I sometimes don’t realize how bad I am getting bit until the next day. Love the look of them too!
