Oxytocin is the chemical your brain creates when we feel warm and fuzzy. Increase this chemical simply by cuddling with your pet, or giving someone you like or care about a hug – I mean a real hug. And if you’re not sure what a real hug feels like wrap your arms around someone, take a deep breath and hold on for at least 17 seconds!

You need an effective insect repellent.
But even
the best bug spray
won't help much if you don't apply it properly
. And while repellents are generally safe, even for pregnant women and children, that's only true if you put them on right. These seven tips are from Consumer Reports and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention:
- Apply Sunscreen First If you’re going to be in the sun, first rub in your sunscreen, let absorb into your skin, and then apply the repellent on top. If you need to apply more sunscreen later, you don’t necessarily need to reapply bug spray unless you notice that the insects are beginning to bother you. Note that we don't recommend products that combine a sunscreen and a repellent—and neither does the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That's because sunscreen should be reapplied more often than bug spray repellent, so you could end up applying more repellent than necessary.
- Put it on Smoothly and Evenly—But Not Too Much
Mosquitoes and ticks can be aggressive biters. They can find and bite an exposed section of skin the size of a dime. So you want to make sure you cover every inch. Shake the bottle and spray evenly onto your uncovered skin and clothes from about four to eight inches away, as directed on the label. But don't overdo it: For insect repellents, more is not better. You don’t want to lather insect repellent on like a thick lotion. Rather, a light dusting is sufficient. And it’s best to avoid breathing in repellent, so try to be in a well-ventilated space away from open flames when applying.
- Don't Spray Under Your Clothes
While wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants can help you avoid mosquito bites, you should still spray your clothes with repellent for extra protection. (First apply to an inconspicuous location to check for possible damage.) But never spray it underneath your clothes: That's not only unnecessary, but may increase the risks.
- Use Your Hands for Sensitive, Hard-to-Reach Spots
Never spray sunscreen directly onto your face or your ears. Instead, spray some onto your hands and spread it on your face, neck, and outside of your ears, being careful to avoid your eyes and nostrils. Don’t forget to rub it onto your head if you’re bald. If you’re going to be eating, wash your hands after applying. But bug sprays can aggravate open cuts and wounds, so avoid areas with broken or irritated skin.
- Don't Forget Ankles and Knees
Mosquitoes
tend to be attracted
to certain hotspots on the body, including the ankles, feet, and knees. And since ticks usually hop onto you from plants on the ground, your exposed ankles are a primary target.
According to the CDC, you should never apply any kind of insect repellent to children under the age of two months. For older children, never spray directly onto their skin. Spray onto your hands first and then rub onto their exposed skin and face. Be sure to avoid their hands, since they tend to stick their fingers into their eyes and mouth. And as always, avoid their eyes, nostrils, and mouth when rubbing.
7. Re-apply Only When Necessary
In tests, top-rated repellents all protected against both ticks and mosquitoes for at least 7 hours. Still, some people tend to attract more bugs than others, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, so if bugs are starting to bite again, that’s your cue that it’s time for more. And insect repellents can wash off in water, so if you’re swimming or perspiring heavily, you should think about re-applying afterward.
