Oil Holders?

[Guest guest]

Dear Josh,

Hi there! Happy Holidays to you and your family. I have been

thinking about oil holders that I have used over the past 20 years. I think

that I have used any type of container, especially wood or heavily padded

leather the most with styrafoam inserts to keep my bottles from moving

around. I learned early on to carry small 1/8 oz. bottles with orifice

reduces after having to take small empty bottles with small eyedroppers on

an airplane trip. I swore not to do that again so now I only carry the basic

oils when I travel. However, when I am going by car I try to find old

wooden, empty wine boxes (the kind that people give wine in at Christmas)

and cut styrafoam pieces to fit the wooden containers. Then I punch holes of

different sizes in the styrafoam to accomadate my different size bottles.

These wooden boxes can also be used at home when you need to store extra

bottles that you may not be using quickly under a bed, in a closet, in your

dh's Boy Scout Foot Locker, and etc. As for storage at home, I have built-in

8 ft. tall wooden book shelves that I store my oils on (used to be

alphabetical order but recently everything's gotten a bit messed up) and in

a walk-in closet that has built-in shelves (these oils are still

alphabetized because they are labeled and someone in my family can actually

read now ;-D & it is not me). I also have two outbuildings for holding

bottles and other business related stuff. I also collect wooden boxes of all

sizes to carry different size bottles of oil when I do shows.

I hope that this helps. So far everyone has wonderful ideas.

Good Luck! Happy Holidays!

Sincerely,

Rhavda Emison

Hey Josh,

Nothing is guaranteed safe but I have NEVER EVER had a bottle of oil

break while traveling .. and I travel a lot. I have an extra saving kit

bag I carry them in .. nothing organized about it. I normally put it in

the middle of my suitcase when traveling by air .. but I wrap T-Shirts

and such around it. When I get where I'm going I always travel via a

rental car and it and my regular shaving kit rides behind me on the

seat. I also carry a few oil in my carry on luggage .. not a problem

with any of the airlines as long as the bottle contents are marked.

Chris already answered this one .. but mine are organized in a very

large room that is air conditioned in the summer and unheated in the

winter. We have rows of shelves and steel lock cabinets for some of the

precious oils .. plus some of the oils are kept in a refrigerator.

 

In the winter .. my folks have to wear sweaters and such in the pouring

room .. but that's something we can't avoid.

Hi Josh,

 

I don't have a huge collection of oils yet. what I've done thus far is

simply keep my oils in a small basket (no alphabetical order, just dumped in

there, lol) in my office. I have a few at any given time in my bathroom closet

with my bath supplies. I have a small pouch/change purse that I use for

travel, about 10 oils will fit upright in there and I just stick it in my purse

and go.

 

I suppose I will have to get more organized as I get more oils...thanks for

asking this question! :-)
