How many Christmas scents?


Daisymay66

Recommended Posts

I just do whatever I feel like each year.  So far, I have 9 scents I'm using this year, and 3 of my fall scents will also be offered through the end of the year.  I'm doing nothing but layered palm candles, and each candle will have 2 scents.  Altogether I'm only offering 6 different candles for Christmas.

I have been wanting to get the fragrance addiction under control for a very long time! I know it’s impossible to make money when you are constantly buying more and more oils. I know I have 200 maybe even more. My daughter came home from college a couple weeks ago and helped me go thru them all. This was NOT an easy job when you are a FO! 

We narrowed it down to 41 scents. It was not an easy task to say the least. Thinking I would rather have a cavity filled without Novocain! Um..yeah I definitely would... than get rid of my oils!  I no longer find it exciting to go all my websites. Even here is a struggle cause the FO section was my favorite topic but now it’s not :(

I'm not counting mine....LOL. If I did, I might realize I have a problem.  I wanted to add more fall/winter scents this year, but I reined myself in because my cabinet is overflowing.  Which was all good until I got so tired of pouring the fall/winter stuff that I dug out some spring/summer samples.  I enjoyed that so much I had to order a few new summer scents.  It's a viscous cycle.

I did that same thing for the last 13 years. Unfortunately my hubby has had to build me 4 huge cupboards :( I was/am finally to the point of I had no choice. Hubby built me a brand new shop that is 4 times bigger than what I did have. I somehow have that all filled up and it’s only been about a year. EEKS!!!! I am out of a few oils so at 1st I thought OH YAY! What new oils should I try?? And then it was OH CRAP! I can’t get any :( :( :( :(

Hi @Daisymay66. When you said you got rid of some of your fragrance oils, did you throw them out or use them in candles and sell them? Just curious.

I think I will try to use up all the oils that I have and when they are gone there gone. It’s quite a huge amount of oils.

I listed a bunch on ebay as FO lots. They all sold in 2 days. Now I'm looking at a few more new scents that are on sale ........

Which part of tn? I have family in Shelbyville. That place has NOTHING there

Are you serious??? I am in Shelbyville. You know where Blue Ribbon Pkwy is? We finally got a Popeyes chicken Monday. I am from New Orleans so that is my style of food. 

That is crazy. It is a very small world. Do they make wax melts too? So now you know why I have to go online. This place is so small. We are just now getting a Dunkin Donuts lol soon. Hardly any grocery stores either.

L o l! I haven't been there in several years. The biggest thing there was Wal-Mart 😂😂😂  I love Popeyes chicken. 

We had to pick up a couple things and my sister in law took me to Wal-Mart and was like "Well you have seen the entire town now"😂😂😂

It is true Walmart is the main attraction sadly lol I am from aNew Orleans so it is so different but I hate big towns. I just miss the food. And sitting on the dock of the bayou. Nothing like a crawfish boil and sucking the Crawfish heads lol never realized how gross it looks to someone that never saw it. Lol been doing that since I was 2 years old. That is where a ton of flavor is.

Nooo I Thank you on that lol. I'll give u my share haha. I'm the only one in my entire family that will not eat seafood,fish,shellfish. I will eat an air sammich before I touch that lol

I was always in the country until I was a teenager, but later on I went to stay a couple nights with my friends grandmother. About 2 am I thought somebody was breaking into the house, I jumped up and took off running with a baseball bat....... (prepare to laugh even cry) it was a huge turkey hitting at the window. I about to pee myself and maybe something else. 😂😂😂 and grandma well she laughed and just said its okay baby lolol,of course she told my friend the story and others and they laughed and laughed.
