OFF! Clip-On provides mosquito protection without applying anything else to the skin. Clip it to your purse, belt, beach bag or lawn chair, and relax. No spray, no mess.

Keep the mosquitoes away from your next backyard barbecue.

OFF! also offered a few tips on how to stay bug-free this summer:

Peak mosquito hours are from dusk to dawn!

Sweat attracts mosquitoes, and believe it or not, so does breathing. So make sure to stay protected when participating in sports or other outdoor activities.

To avoid bug bites, avoid fruity and floral fragrances. That means, skip scented soaps, lotions, perfumes and hair products if heading outside.

Spray yourself as well as your clothing to help keep mosquitoes at bay.

Conway Discount Clothing Chain Closing in New York City

(Tracy E. Hopkins) It's the end of a budget shopping era. Conway discount stores are closing in New York City . As of this weekend, a sign on the sole Herald Square location (34th Street btwn 7th and 8th Ave) says the store will close in "7 Days." Before I relocated to the Big Apple, I was introduced to the discount chain while on a bus trip from Baltimore. I recall the first time I saw Conway's signature pink bags carried by hurried shoppers in midtown. And Miss Foster, the trip organizer and a bargain hunter from way back, took me to the store for the first time. Conway store in the Fulton Mall./Tracy E. Hopkins When I moved here in 1994, my love affair with Conway continued. I furnished my first apartment with discount knick-knacks and home goods from the store.
