Shoveling Snow?
It's easy to get sore muscles when shoveling. Mostly I think, because we don't generally do it year 'round. Massage is always beneficial for sore muscles. And massage with aromatherapies can be more effective, and more relaxing.
Using peppermint, clove, or eucalyptus oils can be very helpful in these cases. Peppermint is a known anti-inflammatory compound, and is relaxing, mentally and physically. Clove oil is helpful as an analgesic, so that it helps to deaden pain, relieves some inflammation, and therefore accelerates healing. Euclayptus oil is very helful in relieving stressed muscles.

Insects Eating You For Lunch?
While there are many ways of getting insects to leave one alone, most of what Americans use are chemical sprays. They do work. But they also harm your health. So what do you do instead?
You can put certain plants around your house and garden to repeal critters like the mosquito(I've heard this is Alaska's state bird); such as Citronella or Lemongrass. Ants don't care for Peppermint; rats and mice(yes, I know, these are not insects) don't care for Catnip.
Putting a good grade of Eucalyptus oil on your skin will slow down the mosquitoes bothering you, and using a diffuser for the oil in your bedroom at night can help you get some rest since they are not likely to stay in your bedroom.
Putting up bat houses can help with mosquitoes as well, since they are one of the mosquitoes natural predators. Bats will not generally bother humans, unless of course, a bat becomes rabid. Not many are rabid, so your chances of being bitten by one are slim. You are more likely to be bitten by a neighbors dog than you are a bat.
This video shows how to make a mosquito trap very inexpensively. Of course, they don't talk on the video, so you have to read the text below.

Did You Know?
“If you based your diet on foods advertised on TV, you’d consume 20 and 25 times the recommended amounts of fat and sugar and less than half of the suggested servings of fruits, vegetables, and dairy products.”
~Dr. Julian Whitaker’s Health & Healing
August 2010
“Researchers from London’s Imperial College found that if the innermost layer of cells at branches and bends of arteries lack the active form of a protective protein called Nrf2, the arteries are prone to inflammation and disease. However, exposure to ‘the natural compound sulforaphane reduced inflammation at the high-risk areas by switching on Nrf2,’ explained Paul Evans, thus restoring the cells’ ability to protect themselves. Sulforaphane is found most heavily in broccoli, but also in other cruciferous vegetables such as cauliflower, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts.”
~Acres U.S.A., December 2009
***Flea, Tick, and Insect Repellent***
The recipe “One gallon distilled or pure water, four heaping tablespoons organic dried catnip, 2 ½ tablespoons organic neem oil, 2 teaspoons Young Living Thieves Household Cleaner or Young Living Bath Gel Base, 80 drops Young Living Purification oil, 80 drops Young Living Lemongrass oil, 40 drops Young Living Idaho Tansy oil, 40 drops Young Living Palo Santo oil, 40 drops Young Living Ocotea or Basil oil, 20 drops Young Living Peppermint oil (optional for high temperatures). Steep the catnip in the gallon of water for 20 – 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Strain if needed. Add all remaining ingredients into Thieves Household Cleaner or Bath Gel Base. Then mix together, and put into spray bottles. Use as needed.” You can cut in half or quarter if you need less.
