So, my sister threw an “end of the year” party (alcoholic beverages involved) and I have an…interesting report. The party was at our house and the temperature was pretty comfortable. I was a bit nervous because I only knew a couple of the people that my sister invited (she invited 30 people 
) and only my best friend and one guy friend were coming. I decided to try one spray of a 5mL to go! Instant Shine, regular strength, to the chest. I didn’t notice any self effects then. It smelled kinda musky, but not bad.
Everyone arrived around 9:00pm and I was putzing around the kitchen, being a good hostess, making artichoke dip, fudge and cookies. Everyone was in a really good mood and kept complementing me on my cooking and chatting away about everything. I decided to kick things up a notch around 10:30, so I excused myself to my room and put a drop of EoW on my neck. I covered with DKNY Be Delicious. I went back out and continued with my hostess-ing.
As soon as I walked back in the room, I noticed a couple looks from some of my sisters friends, and my guy friend kept following me around the kitchen. He started with just shadowing me, moved on to smelling my neck (a lot) and telling me how great I smelled! Haha. As the night wore on and he drank more, he became very touchy-feely and kept hugging me and kissing my cheek. He progressed to asking if he could lay his head on my lap and trying to get me to sit in his lap. Strong stuff!
The self effect for me was very subtle at first; I almost didn’t notice. I was less worried a couple minutes after spraying I/ shine and then I got preoccupied with the cooking. Looking back, I noticed my energy didn’t wane at all throughout the night. I was full of energy; in fact, I’m still not tired! It seemed to just feed me more and more energy. I was bouncing around all over, from the oven to the stove, cleaning dishes in the sink, grabbing more snack foods from the pantry, etc. I’m a naturally high energy person, so the added energy I got from the one spray made me almost manic. :o
Anyways, she’s having a follow-up party tomorrow night for people who couldn’t make it tonight, so we’ll see how 2 sprays of Instant Shine affects people. I’m probably going to change the application spot(s) becuase it affected me so much! Any suggestions?
The back of the neck, hair on back of the head, or maybe the wrists.
Two sprays of a 5mL to go! Instant Shine, regular strength into the hair last night. I noticed more of an initial self-effect this time. I was feeling kind of tired before and it definately perked me up a bit. No cover tonight, just used the neroli scent. There were a lot less people tonight (two boys, four girls total, and then 2 more girls and one more guy showed up later). I was playing hostess again and was flitting about the kitchen making sure everyone had drinks and food (and my waist-length, pheromoned hair was whipping around behind me wherever I went).
I noticed lots of friendly smiles when I walked by, but it seemed much more mellow than last night; everyone was just sitting and socializing. They were all in a great mood, I almost want the describe the atmosphere as “sparkley”. People were chatting about various topics and every once in a while, someone would break out into boisterous laughter. You could see people were contented with everything around them and just genuinely happy; it kind of radiated off of everyone. I wouldn’t have been surprised if happy confetti was just raining down on everybody!
The guys and a couple of the girls started playing Kings cards other drinking games and they kept trying to get me to come play. I finally consented to joining their fun (with a cup of plain old Arizona iced tea. I don’t drink) and enjoyed watchin everyone get drunk off their derrières. The night continued in this fashion until about 11:45, at which point we gathered around the television to prepare for the new year. There was a general air of over-exuberance when counting down and someone opened a bottle of champagne. The three who came late and another girl left shortly after midnight and the rest of us drifted towards the living room.
*What I have neglected to tell you is that I sprayed the Christmas tree in the living room with 2 sprays of Instant Honesty, regular strength, to see what would happen. Some very interesting conversation ensued (I will not go into detail) but I’m not sure if that is result of the I/h or the copious amounts of alcohol consumed by the majority of people. 
Anyways, one of the guys and the other girls ended up crashing on the living room couch and the other guy and I watched a movie together (he was super cute!) and by the time it ended, it was 4 in the morning and the other three were awake again. We joined them in the living room and had more fun conversations (they were sober by this point…mostly, so maybe the I/h did work? Although I’m not sure if pheromones diffuse well from trees, haha :o).
The other three fell asleep again, and I went to clean up the kitchen. Cute guy followed me and offered to help. We cleaned up and made amiable conversation that turned into outright flirting! We watched the sun rise (we were the only ones awake) and I made breakfast. After we ate, we sat and talked about nerdy stuff (Firefly, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along-Blog, debating about whether priates or ninjas are better) on the couch in the family room (not the one laden with sleeping people) until we passed out from exhaustion. We didn’t wake up until 11! Everyone else was still asleep, so we played board games until he had to leave. Haha. Lame, I know! 
I think that spraying I/shine in my hair was much better for me than spraying it on my chest/neck. I noticed, again, that my energy didn’t wane, but it wasn’t as manic and scary as the night before. I was the freaking Energizer bunny that night!!! Also, I noticed that other people were effected much more; I’m not sure if it’s because of the two sprays, or a better application spot. I’ll have to experiment some more!
OMG! my sister just told me that she’s mad at me because her friends like me and that I’m trying to steal them away. Haha! Is she kidding? Jeez. Sorry, this is kind of a tangent, but I thought it was amusingly ridiculous.
Instant shine, regular strength, three sprays total. Two to the back of the head/hair and one to the chest (I held my breath while I sprayed 
).
I sprayed them in my room; the house is freezing! I’m still not getting a huge self-effect when I first spray i/shine on. Does this happen to anyone else?
After 15 minutes, I went out to the store to pick up some groceries for dinner. As I entered the market, I passed the guy who was collecting the carts from the parking lot and he stopped pulling the carts and justt stared. It was weird 
. Hit?
Anyways, I was walking through the produce section, and evidently I was humming to myself without realizing it, 'cause I was bagging some apples when this guy came up next to me and started singing the words softly near my ear. I think I squeaked in surprise, and I know I jumped and dropped my apple bag :o. He laughed, good-naturedly and retrieved my runaway fruit. I was so embarassed, I thanked him and very nearly ran to the other side of the store.
I was grabbing some yogurt, when the lady next to me started talking to me about how much she loves yogurt. She literally talked about it to me for 10 minutes until she realized that we were blocking access to the yogurt/egg/butter section.
I was standing in line, when the singing guy from the produce section got in line behind me. AWKWARD!!! He started humming the song and winked at me. I think I was probably blushing to the roots of my hair!
Checkout was much friendlier than normal, the cashiers ususally just get your stuff rung up as fast as possible. My cashier was really chatty and a smile was plastered on her face, although, it wasn’t fake. She noticed my bruised apples and asked if I wanted to get fresh ones. I told her it was my fault and that I would have felt bad taking new ones, and I didn’t mind bruises on my apples. The song guy dropped his bag of apples on the counter, took the ones I had dropped, and told the girl that he would pay for the others ! Jeez! I didn’t know what to say to that!
So that’s my report with 3 sprays of i/shine at the store. Whew. Potent stuff! 
I want free apples 
Hahahahaha, entertaining entries. 
Yeah, pheros can make people do weird things. I want free apples too…
sigh free apples.
They were yummy too!
On to my report. 2 sprays today, same 5mL to go bottle of instant shine. One spray went to the hair (I’m starting to like it there ) and one to the chest, rubbed in with wrists, so I suppose you could say 1/2 to chest and 1/4 to each wrist.
I sprayed it in my car, and the enclosed space still didn’t give me a super intense inital reaction. Bleh. I dunno. I put on some vanilla body lotion as a cover, because I’m not overly fond of the musky smell of the neroli, and I left my car to go to work. I’m a cherub choir director at a church; the kids I teach are ages 3-7, and absolutely adorable. I walked in the door and greeted everybody. I got tackled to the floor by 4 children, not entirely abnormal, but they were much more enthusiastic about their ambush than usual. As soon as I was able to sit up, one of my littlest girls sits in my lap and comments, “you smell like custard!”. I was immediately sniffed by 7 kids and about 4-5 minutes later, they were getting extremely antsy. They wouldn’t pay attention to the lesson, so I got out our musical instruments and we just messed around for the rest of class.
Wearing such an energetic mix around small children, all of whom already have an overabundance of energy, was probably not my brightest idea :o.
After class was over, I attended the church service and one of the ladies who is normally an uptight, self-righteous bigot actually talked to me and complimented my outfit . Maybe it wasn’t such a bad idea, haha. I just have to wait to put it on until after I’m done with the kiddos!
