Hiya, How I got interested in pheromones is kind of a weird tidbit. I can’t pinpoint where exactly I heard about them or anything. which is extremely weird. Kinda just one of those things you hear about, file in the “that’s interesting” category of your brain, then forget. Then I was sitting here thinking, and eventually my train of thoughts brought me to pheromones. I thought they wouldn’t work, but imagine my surprise when I found this forum! (: I have not a doubt in my mind they work now. I’m in my Mid-Twenties, and go to school in Florida in a fairly decent sized city. I want to try pheromones for some of the effects I’ve read some of these non-relationship and non-sexually oriented pheromones can have in a social atmosphere. Such as the “Instant Shine” (Which I’m REALLY excited to try) and the “[Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/)” (Which I’m even more excited to try, because I have a tendency to be shy) I do have a couple questions though. Does Instant Shine work as well as I’ve read it works for boosting moods? Somebody tell me their personal experience with it. How good it makes you, and others around you feel, ect. Instant Openness. How good is it for shy people? If I put in an effort to be a better conversationalist, will it really help? How well do Instant Openness and Instant Shine work combined? What’s the effect on yourself and others? Thank you. This forum seems like a large community. Hope to get to know it well, and can’t wait to try out some pheromones after I learn a little more about which ones will be right for me. Signed Dale ---

YES! Although dazed, you seem to Know what you want. Welcome to the mone forum. 🙂 Yup, I would give a two thumbs up with IShine. Great mone that can be used anytime. I like the comforting vibe about it with a happiness that you can amp up with your smile and charm. 😉 IShine is the first mone product that I tried. I journal-ed about it on my sig below, Amazing in a Bottle link. Take a look at how I started mones with baby steps, accidentally used IO and all the resulting chaos that accompanied it. 😉 IShine and IO, are good tools for someone that is inclined to shy. Though, you do need to support the mone signal of chipper and easy to talk to, with a warm smile and an understanding nod while listening with interest. 🙂 1Alpha ---

Welcome Dazed, I think that brain of yours is working overtime. I totally agree with the recommendations from alpha but again you were so eager to order you jumped right in. I hope that you get to test these out. _ **Your gc wa** __ **s issued!** _
