OK I’m going to make an order before I leave for work b/c I’m OUT of everything but Lust After Me and some Spaceland!
NOt exactly what I want to take to work
I work for a major airline in Customer Service
(yeah I have to tell people they missed their flight, and sometimes it’s the last one out of town…)
I’m ADD, and still training, so something to help focus would be great- perhaps TAF- how much?
Also, I’m in a conservation mode (we took a $77K hit over the last 11 months–I will have lots more $$ soon to spend here, and believe me I will ! ) meanwhile, I need to get the absolute most bang for the buck.
So for effectiveness, and cost effectiveness
Instant Shine or straight TAA?
CTT2 or Instant Openness?
MX 135 or Mx 134?
or MX138?
Alpha-314–there are a number of varients now- which type works best for women in a highly competitive and fast paced workplace?
ARrrrg! there is more I wanted to ask but I’m running out of time and can’t remember what it was exactly (see? I NEED TAF!)
A314 - doesn’t Mr Noble have a bottle from some months back? You can wear a drop of that spread between the neck and ears, and lighten it up with LAM if you need a “Noblelady, the Chic Dominant Chick” vibe at work. At the airport, I can only imagine that you have to portray the cool, calm leader lady, especially when there are cranky kids and cranky grown ups cranking about their missed flights.
If no A314 is available, MX134 all the way!!!
Instant Shine - WAY more social bang for the buck. A 2X to go might be JUST the ticket for you purse. If you have a cute little lipstick holder you never use, the shine will fit perfectly in there, and you’ll rename that lipstick holder to “The Shiny Serum Satchel”, and be th envy of all the other flight attendants.
I know you’re probably already aware, but if you need a reminder, check out KathyG’s posts. She’s in the exact same line of work, and her insight may be valuable for ya right now.
For focus, I wouldn’t recommend TAF, because it might get you focused on too many things. P79 would probably ground you a bit better, and focus your attention on the few important things that really matter.
Before the ladies answer your question, I will just give my opinion.
Instant Shine or straight TAA? Instant Shine
CTT2 or Instant Openness? Instant Openness
MX 135 or Mx 134? MX135 based on its stellar reviews
or MX138?
Alpha-314 substitute: MX134
More focus: P79+TAF(1:1) mix is working well for me. Forced to choose one, I will pick P79.
Edit: Jasmin got there faster rendering my post pretty damn useless. Thanks Jas’
Good to see Jas back posting - really going back to work right away eh?
noblelady,
If you have ADD, you might want to try some herbal remedies for learning, mental energy and working memory as well (though you are in ‘conservation’ mode it’s just a thought - I have the same problem and things like a quality Gingko Biloba extract, Bacopa, and Fish Oil help with these symptoms a lot though of course they are not a ‘cure’).
As for pheromones, I like 2-3 drops of A314 (though I am male) as well as things to ‘lighten’ the effect like CTTM-M2 and Instant Shine. There is definitely something ‘concentration enhancing’ in A314 and it lets you keep control without stepping on other people’s feet really as well as additional benefits like being seen as competent and respected. For me P79 isn’t always so great for focus - A314 is better IMHO.
Being a woman, like Jasmin and Nbully said, you might be better off with MX134 over A314.
TAA is not the same as shine. Go with Instant shine. I got both and TAA is nice but just dosnt pack the same punch.
I would go with CTTM because you get the benefits of both IO and IH.
I cant live without MX135. Its my next big bottle purchase. When I dont have it I miss it.
If shine works for you you can hold off on the MX138 till you have more money.
MX134 is the ladies version of A314. Its good but if you cant afford it right now you can try to temper Mr Nobles A314 like Jas said. If you dont have LAM you could try using the MX135 with it. Do you have EOW ? That would work to. If it was me I would use TAH to temper it this is why I suggest MX135.
I agree that P79 will give you a more sharper focus. Taf makes me focus as well but I notice I focus to much and end up taking in to much from it. Which in a way can be distracting from your origonal task. Havnt figured out what to temper that with yet.
OK, I thought I had posted this before, but it may have gotten lost along the way- first of all, thanks for the responses- I appreciate everyone’s take and insights (no need to stop -this isn’t over! )
2ndly, I wanted to let you know what I DID order (keep in mind that this is BEFORE having read some of the posts ! )
Tater thinks you should consider MEO-EST in addition to P79. Ive been known to start conversations and walk off mid-sentence so ADHD is no stranger to me. Very useful stuff.
IS definitely works and id go for CTTM over IO any day, but others disagree.
Cant comment on the rest since last time i checked i was male. checks again Yeah, baby!
Meo-est had been out of stock for over a year now. I dont think its coming back anytime soon. Alot of us have been waiting for it. I have been checking with each of my orders and so far no luck. Oh well me and mare may buy a bottle of EST and split the cost.
YEAAAAAAH! It’s here! How timely!
I start officially working tomorrow.
OK, so I wound up with all of these in To Go’s:
Instant Shine, Instant Openness, MX134, and P79.
Since I want to wear a bit of all of these to work, for each of thier own virtues, I’m thinking of putting about 1/2 of each To Go in one spray bottle, mixing it up, and using that as my -“off-to-work-to-shine-and-focus-and-be-in-control-of-my-gate” fragrance
Whether I mix them up or spray them separately (thus keeping at least 1/2 of each bottle intact) I’ll use them all so I’ll be letting you know how it goes
I NEED TAF!)
