justajesuschick Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I know that my organization and Type A will eventually win out after I am not so new to this.I have to admit that I have not yet thrown away an empty FO bottle. I just have 2, one gallon size ziploc bags full so not a room full (yet!). I just keep going back to them to sniff to decide whether to reorder even though I am building a spreadsheet of what I like and what I do not. I hope that I build a nice line up of scents that I like and am able to toss the bottles soon. Did you do this when you were new or am I all alone in this oddness??

jenn624 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 um..... I have a big box full of empty bottles too... so you are not alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmhoneybear Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 LOL I only have a few bottles saved from FOs that I really liked and maybe can't get anymore of. Nope, you're not alone in this "oddness". :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I have a couple of plastic Wal-Mart bags full that I haven't used for other purposes. Some I've used to mix new creations in, some were given away or sold with FO, some smaller ones are filled from larger bottles for compactness. So since I found those uses for formerly empty bottles, I hang onto empty ones now. My problem area seems to be boxes, because you just never know when you're going to need a good, sturdy box of any random size! :embarasse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacktieaffair Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I guess I'm a fledgling hoarder also. Before I finally after 7 month threw them away, I know I had at least 3 stuffed to the brim with nothing but 1 ozers in WalMart bags. I have no clue why I kept them:tiptoe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beezy Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) I save my 1oz bottles incase I need to refresh my memory after testing a scent (and everything I made from the 1oz sample is gone) but the 16oz'ers take too much room.Calling A&E, STAT Edited August 11, 2012 by Beezy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacktieaffair Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Ok !! I'm going with what Breezy said as my reason for doing it LOL Actually doing that, did come in handy a couple of times even though I always write down what I'm doing...( now let me tell you about that bridge I have for sale ) ...

Kitn Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I did save them, I had to get rid of them when we moved. But I can start all over, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacktieaffair Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Absolutely !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeahRB Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I save them, too. I wash them out real good with soap and water and then use them later to mix other scents. I consider myself a type A but when it comes to my candle stuff I'm a complete mess. I call it my "Monica's Closet" for those who know what I'm talking about .

Chefmom Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Oh Good. I'm not the only one. I keep the 1 ouncers so that I can refer back to them before ordering. Yea, I make the lists, but sometimes you just have to re-smell them to be sure.I do have a small box of the rejects to make sure I DON'T order those again.

ChandlerWicks Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I keep the glass ones only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithfulScenter Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I wanted to keep mine, actually did keep some for about a week, but I am soooooo anti-clutter having those empty bottles sitting there drove me nuts,I couldn't take it, I had to throw them away!! :embarasse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in KY Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 They always have a little oil clinging to the bottom and sides. I use to add a type of corncob or aroma beads or add some room and body base to the empty bottles, just to get that last little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksranch Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I wanted to save and reuse, but I never could seem to get the scent completely out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
