Mosquito Repellant Plants

How is it that some of us get attacked  by mosquitos the minute we step outside while others can watch an entire  sunset  and never get a nibble?  I  am wearing long sleeves and yoga pants pajama bottoms after 5pm because of the mosquitos     comfort.  #notatrophywife

So while  in the mountains, where the mosquitos have clearly adjusted to the altitude, I found these suggestions online and had to share.  Please leave in the comments your own suggestions for organic mosquito repellant suggestions.  The following suggestions and photos are from Yahoo which explains why the photos are so pretty and perfectly cropped! The commentary is all mine!
