ALPHABETICAL ORDER
Arrange your single oils and essential oil blends in alphabetical order . Refer to the product guide section in the back for a complete alphabetical list of dōTERRA essential oils and blends .
CAP STICKER COLOR
Use dōTERRA essential oil bottle cap stickers to color coordinate the oils based on the colors of the stickers — this system is especially satisfying if you have a slightly meticulous personality , and you find great enjoyment from color coordinating everything you see .
ESSENTIAL OIL PROPERTIES
Separate oils based on their properties found on the dōTERRA Properties Wheel . For example , there are essential oils with calming properties such as Lavender and Roman Chamomile , and most citrus oils will have uplifting properties .
INDIVIDUAL ROOM
For convenient access , place essential oils that you are likely to use in your kitchen , bathroom , kids room , laundry room etc . You can hang a display shelf in your living room with a diffuser and your favorite essential oils blends — this is good a way to incorporate essential oils into your home décor .
What to do with extra essential oil bottles ? If you find opened duplicates , you can carefully pour them into one bottle . Use unopened bottles as a giveaway on your social media page or a giveaway at your next dōTERRA essential oil class .
