Newbie report 2: Turn Up The Heat 9th August 2008
The synopsis is: Interesting self-effects again, and an unusual IOI event 
So I sprayed 2 sprays of Turn Up The Heat, one to the neck and one to the wrists. I guess I was expecting some powerful self-effects given my Instant Openness experience, but I didn’t change into an ‘outlaw biker’ or anything… I felt different again, cool; I was more grounded and less giddy than with the Instant Openness. I can certainly see how the two would complement each other well, like ‘earth’ and ‘air’. It had a slightly more unusual scent, but not too bad. So I go down to the coffee shop again, I am feeling quite ‘alpha’ at this point - I generally do carry myself well anyway, and put out a confident vibe, the Turn Up The Heat seems to enhance this somewhat. I was strolling along at about half the speed I usually do - I felt I could put on a turn of speed if I needed to, but there was no need.
I had a short conversation with a woman who was getting into her car - I don’t think she was in range of my pheromonal aura… But anyway, we discussed the large numbers of bees and wasps that were flying around annoying folk (I had been a bit of a insect magnet when I applied the Instant Openness, it seemed…). She recommended Citronella as a bee repellent. But, as it turned out, I needn’t have worried with the Turn Up The Heat. It was like bees and wasps got within 2-3 feet and flew round me, or did an about-turn and flew off - bouncing off my macho aura, hehe . Anyway, she gave me an idea for a cover story, should anyone comment on any unusual scent - I’m wearing bee repellent!
I chatted with a couple of friends (men) at the coffee shop, and checked out the women. Well, I had been checking women out on the Instant Openness mission, that was more in an abstract way almost, like ‘Oh, she’s nice’. I was feeling much more sexually motivated in my checking them out.
Then I was planning to replicate my Instant Openness mission by going to the pub again, but I didn’t much feel like it. I went for a long walk in the park instead. I was actually feeling very introspective, but in a good way, mulling over work, friends and family, and recent events. I almost forgot about the Turn Up The Heat. On a couple of occasions though, it really asserted itself. I saw two nice-looking girls in the park. I really felt like approaching and introducing myself too, but on both occasions a BF showed up about 5 seconds later, LOL, nevermind. I spent a good while walking around the park, especially given this kind of slow, rolling gait I had developed.
Then, after about 3 hours, I went to get a chocolate bar as I did last time. I wasn’t really exhausted and craving the energy this time, just mildly hungry. Here at the same shop is where the peculiar IOI thing happened.
I remembered that I also needed some envelopes, so I got them too. There was a different girl behind the counter (20s?) she’s served me before and we’ve had friendly exchanges before, but… well, this was odd. She asked me did I need any stamps too. I said I was OK for stamps, and she reminded me that I should bear in mind the new postal regulations we have in the UK (well, they’re not that new now) that take into account the dimensions of an item, as well as the weight, when calculating how much postage to pay. Basically being nice and going out of her way to be helpful. I said yeah, it’s not much fun for the recipient when they have to spring for the postage instead (they have to pay to collect the item here if you don’t pay enough postage).
Well, this is hardly the most devastatingly witty banter ever, but she was giggling like a little girl at this point, and had gone red! I said thanks and goodbye and left the shop, thinking ‘That was extraordinary - I really think I can chalk that one up to the Turn Up The Heat!’
I cannot wait to try the Instant Openness and Turn Up The Heat combo - I imagine it will be fantastic.
But first, thanks to the generosity of Androtics, I have a free to-go bottle of Instant Gentleman that I’ll try out on its own, before I get into the mixing.
