Well, this is going to be somewhat informal, but I will be writing up a more formal and organized report as soon as I can. I recieved my first shipment of [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) about a week ago and have tried it a few times now. The first few times I wore it I used about three or four sprays and was just lounging round my house with my family. I noticed that I felt a slightly elevated feeling–although quite subtle. My brother and I are both on Christmas vacation from college and since I started using this, I feel that our relationship has become a little bit better. We’ve always been close, but over the years we sort of drifted in different directions. I’m not sure if our bonding has been coincidental, but I feel that the IS has had a bit of a “guiding” effect in bringing us a little closer. I also wore one spray today when I went to run errands, and I felt the effects more. Maybe I was on hyper-alert for IOI’s but I could swear that people were more aware of me. I was wearing sweats, uggs, and barely any makeup, but quite a few guys’ eyes lingered on me in the store. I also felt a bit more at ease with myself and my surroundings than normal. I felt more confident asking questions of strangers, and I generally just felt more confident. I just wanted to throw in a preliminary review until I find the time to write up a more formal one. I’m going to be ordering some more “mones” pretty soon here (I’m considering IS/B, IO, and possibly some others…) and will also be trying out mixes 433 and 434. I’m also pretty interested in finding something with cops to layer with these awesome products…I have a feeling this is about to get really fun!😉 I haven’t mentioned this yet, but I’m studying psychology (in addition to theatre) and am about to choose my senior capstone project topic soon. After studying research methods and statistics all year last year, I’m becoming very tempted to see if I can create a structured, operationalized study to test the effects of pheromones, and write a research paper on the results. I have a lot of professors who would be willing to help me publish my work, and there is a psychology conference in LA in the spring that I would have an opportunity to attend and present my findings at as well. I’ll do some research to see if there’s a way to find a sponsor for this. Pheromone research seems very cutting edge, and it would be AMAZING to participate in the discovery of the effects in a more formal research format. Food for thought. Nasha ---

AWESOME!!! Love the ‘closeness’ you get with your brother using IShine. I personally started out a skeptic with my Togo of IShine to see if mones ‘really’ worked… Have you checked out the mone theory and studies and abstract discussions? There is tonnes of research on mones that could help you out. I’ll be keeping an eye on your thread now!!! 🙂 ---

Hey Alpha! I will definitely be looking into pheromone theory now that you’ve mentioned it. Until now, I always looked at [pheromones](https://a314.com/shop/) as a bit of a tired, disregarded marketing strategy. Now, however I’m seeing that there is quite a bit of legitimacy to this and I really want to educate myself as much as possible. Thanks for stopping by! ---

Okay I’m back!! Yesterday was interesting; I tried [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) for the first time since my last post, (I had taken a break since I had stopped noticing if I was having effects) and had a pretty great reaction to it. I know this is a pretty well understood pheromone, but it can’t hurt to have one more review of it, right? 🙂 **Product:** Instant Sunshinex2 ToGo **Scent:** [Neroli](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neroli) **Day 1:** 2 sprays to neck, 1 spray to wrists **Environment** : College campus/classroom; about 45/70 degrees F; rainy outside **Self Effects** : SUPER chatty. I ended up talking to a girl in my class I barely know about quite a few very personal subjects…I kind of left wondering why the \*&%$ I just said all that?? Slightly alarming, but now that I know this effect can happen so strongly, I can keep my guard up a little more while wearing Instant Shine. Not too much, but I do have to keep a bit of a lid on it. I felt alert, energized and pretty much ready to socialize my face off…which was a little awkward-feeling while I was in a school environment, but I can’t wait now to try it somewhere else!! **Noticed effects to others:** Hard to say, I was so outgoing and confident that I’m sure any reactions others had probably were because of my own behavior/energy. One of my professors definitely made eye contact with me quite a few times, but it could have been my imagination. I was also so friggin’ alert and focused that maybe he just responded to my level of attentiveness…who knows? **Range:** I really couldn’t say. **Time response:** Self effects began at around 10 minutes I think **Duration of effect** : About 4 hours In conclusion, I think I’ll maybe tone it down a _touch_ with the number of sprays when I’m in certain settings (like school), but otherwise, I can’t wait to keep testing!! Thinking of jumping on the TAL bandwagon here before it runs out…but I’m not sure yet. I’m already a very dominant energy in a room, and I’m not sure if TAL would push me over the edge into maybe _too_ dominant. ---

Always good to read up on another ‘test’ from a different view on IShine, for sure. I think that TAL would be a good way for you to an almost counter point to IShine. What other mones do you have in your arsenal? Yes, there is that. That others will connect or be drawn to your own shining behaviour. Now, just in a differing environment, with just a smile with a couple of spray’s of IShine… see if it draws others to you! 🙂 As you can tell with IShine, YOU will need to be in a bit more control of your emotional output. Control your thought to mouth connections. TAL would be the same in that you need to take into account your own reactions to the mones. ---

Haha, I didn’t realize IShine could have an effect on me like that. I guess I assumed [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/) would be the one to have more caution with in terms of self-effects. Live and learn! I also have mixes 433 and 434 which I will also begin testing and reporting on soon. Thanks for your input on TAL, I am very tempted to try it out so we’ll see. I feel like it will either synergize seamlessly with my personality, or will like I said, make me too dominant. I’m pretty curious to find out though, so I might just order it. ---

About the synergy on your attitude or congruence and mones, I posted this on my journal and it was snatched by an astute admin and plastered on the Men’s Advice and tricks as a sticky. 😉 > [@Personal Thoughts on Mones... 1Alpha's ramblings!](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/personal-thoughts-on-mones-1alphas-ramblings/53580): > > I have this nagging feeling that this has been touched on in my stroll through this labyrinth of a forum. I’ve been reading up on the forum and thought about how mones fit in the social equation. Some have proposed that certain none heavy products are prone to cause fisticuffs others, that an other than desired response will be directed at the mone wearer. Or that the user will be getting women clawing all over him like a 21st century Casanova. Also, that being Ghosted, completely ignored, … I note that it can DO just that… TAL _may_ fit you like a hand to glove! 😃 Or… may require some additional caution to not go ballistic on everyone around you! 😛 ---

It has been a LONG time since I posted in this journal, but I recently re-ordered my third large bottle of [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) (double strength) and after a mistaken shipping delay I was able to begin using it again. It has been about six months since I used Instant Shine. I had been using it as much as I could afford to since I first began ordering products from Androdics in 2011. I find that it consistently shifts my mood into a more positive state and allows me to “rise” to the level of confidence that I KNOW already exists within me. Sometimes it feels like a sort of tuning fork that brings me into a more empowered state. I am so impressed with how this particular pheromone works. I also received a sample of Instant Sexiness A (version 1.2 A) for women which I am going to try soon and begin reporting on.
