So. I've been making my own facial moisturizer for a whole year now.
I've had troublesome skin since forever and after some success with squalane oil, I wanted a cheaper version. I did some research and found that calendula (pot marigold) has antifungal and antibacterial properties. And I grow a ton of calendula!! So, I steeped some petals in 1 cup of coconut oil. And proceded to use that as moisturizer for 11 months. Had the best skin I've ever had in that period.
Then I ran out a week ago. Before the calendula has grown, let alone blossomed. More research! Dandelion petals (anti-inflammatory!) and chickweed (heals wounds!) to the rescue. Thankfully, I have access to these "weeds".
1 cup coconut oil
1 cup plant material
Steep on low for at least 1 hour
Strain
Cool
Use

Poul Henningsen (Sept. 9, 1894 - 1967), affectionately known as PH, was an outstanding Danish designer, architect, song-writer and cultural critic. He was a true multi-talent, and much of what he created remains iconic and in production today.
Here we have him with his wife in a summer house he designed for the Swedish company Myresjöhus who wanted to create a cheap, functionalist holiday home of no more than 50m2. PH designed it and within 24 days from the finished sketches the house was built in Skagen.
We see several of PH’s iconic lamps in the living room, and some excellent furniture as well.
In addition, PH wrote the lyrics to some of the best-loved cabaret songs in the Danish revue canon, including the tragi-comic “Ølhunden” (”The Beer Hound”) from 1929, and the 1940 anti-censorship, anti-Nazist anthem “Man binder os paa Mund og Haand (men man kan ikke binde Aand)”...
