samandkennasmom Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I just counted all my oils and I can't believe it, counting my 1oz samples, I have 796 bottles....is that sick or what??? No wonder my hubby just put the axe to me!!) Please tell me there are others as sick as me!!!!!!!!HuGsMichele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewOrleansLady Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I had close to 1,000 without counting 1oz. bottles before I started weeding thru them. My scent list I give out to customers is 3 pages long..3 columns each page and that's no where near all my scents. I just can't update it very often.

Debra Phelps Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I don't even want to count all mine. I decided to clean out the old ones about 3 months ago. I bet I threw away 100 bottle, just because I didn't like them. Not samples, bottles. I thought about that later. That wasn't very smart. I could have sold them. I got one small room pretty full of oils. I am addicted. I do know that. I am sitting here thinking about ordering something new. I get tired of the same things. What I need to do is make some new blends out of what I have. But oh no, that is not good enough. I want a new bottle of something coming in. It is so exciting to get something new on the way. That is the problem. If we could get our customers this addicted, we would be Rich, Rich,Rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LynnS Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I am with Island girl. I have about 150 1 ouncers. I thought I needed HELP but see I am OK. I have my basement full of FO's and 2 bookcases of them but have NO idea where I could put more. One corner of my full basement is all candle stuff.It is a very large area.I am going for the 8 ounce and 16 ounce.I would be testing for the rest of my life if I had that many 1 ouncers. This year I am discontinuing some scents and adding new ones.Will then have more samples to find room for. I will do my best to go with maybe 20. I did think I needed to find a support group but not now!!!!!!!!! LynnS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDM Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I don't feel so bad now. I probably have at least 100, and I thought that was bad! Don't know how I'd ever get thru 700+ samples, I can't get thru the ones I have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I'm happy to report that you all are worse than I am! It's been tough, but I've restrained from buying so many fragrances this year. Those 1 ozers shouldn't count, so that should save you hurt on the throat. I'm taking the easy road out this year. I refuse to count.

samandkennasmom Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 Wow, I'm glad the 1 ozers don't count, that could really help me out then, I should be able to buy alot more!!! YIPPEE:yay: HugsMichele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoalaGirl Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Michelle796 different scents? Having that amount would bug the hell out of me!! I would HAVE to round it up to 800......Go on....you know you want to:cheesy2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debra Phelps Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Have you ever wondered why they are so addicting? :confused:It is just a smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canongirl Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 You're so right, it's just a smell. But I've always been a scent freak, at least for good scents. I just started a few months ago, and I'm already addicted. There's only a few hundred more that I want to try, lol. So all of you Foho's, how many of them do you dislike? I have a little stash already of "didn't care fors." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dejablue Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I wish i could afford to try that many! But don't worry...the customers will want you to make the ones you don't care for just to stink up your kitchen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmhoneybear Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Out of the hundreds and hundreds that I have ordered over the past 2 1/2 years, there are only a handful that I don't like. I am a scentaholic, too! And I don't even sell...NOW THAT'S NUTS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
