FO insanity

[SimplyE]

I am going bonkers trying to keep my FOs organized in some sort of way so as not to forget some, or search through everything to find another. :roll:

I am a completely unorganized person as it is, and there has to be a way than a billion bottles from a billion different places with a billion different scents! Help me pleez

I have a tall bookshelf with all of my EO's and FO's on it. Then I have each shelf labelled as "fruity" "floral" "earthy" "bakery" etc. and put all the EO's and FO's under their "category". It helps!

maybe try one of those stacked spice holders. they are like a mini stair case and then you can keep the scents on different level by categories.

That is what I use.

Alphabetical order ?

I like Ashley's idea of keeping them in their respective families of fruity, floral, foodie, etc. That is how some fragrance suppliers list them.

This is what I keep thinking, but I think in need a bigger soap-supply room/area. Good thing my basement is unfinished, but it IS downstairs, not necessarily convenient.

Thanks! I was having a moment...

I have mine in drawers, and found it helps to use a label on the top of the cap, then I can open the drawer, peer in and see from above.

LOL, well I have about a zillion little 500 ml bottles of FO's and EO's since I've been testing out which scents I want to use for the soaps I sell. Once I pare it down to the ones I'm going to stick with I won't need to be as organized!

 

[Lindy]

Ashley I started out as such a purist and didn't any scents to my soaps unless it was coming from my ingredients - now I'm a total FO HO....I'm not sure what I'm up to in #'s now, too scared to count....

 

[topcat]

......Or you can try my way - it's super easy!!!

Just pile them in layers (sort of) in a large cardboard box. Then when you need one, just go though them all pulling them all out onto the floor......works for me - NOT! :wink:

(I think I need to get more organised too )

I'm with Tanya. Just come and look at my mess and ypu will feel soooo much better and realize ti could be worse. LOL

 

[rubato456]

then there's my method....fos & eos on a shelf that is a bit too tall for you to see any of them....colorants/botanials/seeds/ powders etc heaped into a silcon mold not being used at the moment. now THERE's organization! hrumph!!!!!

It's really simple. Get yourself a box and write MY name and address on it, and mail me half. I'm only suggesting it so that you can thin out your stock, and be better able to efficiently conduct your business.

I am only thinking of you. :wink:
