Making homemade oils

So I decided to try some things out. I am attempting to make homemade oils.

I have found alot of honeysuckle growing here in GA! It smells so good, but whenever I find lotions and such, it never smells like honeysuckle. So I am going to see how my experiment pans out.

I have one jelly jar filled with honeysuckle and grape seed oil and olive oil. I have coconut oil, but it's in hard form.

I also made in a larger jar, honeysuckle and mint with olive oil and grape seed oil.

I plan to get lavender and try it with honeysuckle as well.

I didn't clean the flowers for fear it would take the juices away, but I will be straining all of the debris anyways.

I know I have to wait 4-6 weeks, keep it in a warm spot and let the sun shine on it.

So here's hoping I can make my own oils, cause if so I am totally making my own lotions and stuff too!

Also, we tried our hand at the new star wars monopoly game, it was interesting and we thought it would be difficult since it was so different. I was Darth Vader empire red and my husband was Luke Skywalker Jedi council blue. I won the game, lol.

Have you made oil or do you want to and what kind?
