> [@](#): > > I did not once look for validation from an external source that whole evening…I also felt very sympathetic to others, in a word, magnanimous. Fascinating. I’ve heard of this type of personality/behaviour referred to as “warm dominance” in the context of male attractiveness to women. It combines self-control (“internal locus of control”) with outward focus, a focus on others and looking out for the good of the tribe. A314 is leadership in a bottle? ---

I love you are trying out a314. Silly Kitty did it a while back, and it was a great step for womankind in the world of pheromones. Keep up the good work champ. ---

Have never had a real reason to put [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/) through its paces before. I had an appointment for my children this past week, which usually entails a lot of waiting around, and the waiting room is usually quite crowded. So I slathered up in IO and headed out the door, four children in tow. **Product:** Instant Openness **Application:** 8 sprays- wrists, inner elbows, neck, chest, hair What I should have thought of, but didn’t, was how this stuff would affect my children. We were only in the car for about ten minutes on the way to our appointment, but I swear they didn’t draw breath the whole time. They just TALKED. CONSTANTLY. About everything, anything, and nothing. At one point my three year old just started singing at the top of her lungs…“LA LA LA LA LA” on and on. Even the baby was babbling along at break-neck speed. If I hadn’t been locked in with them it would have been hilarious. So, we’re in this waiting room that is usually crowded, and there is exactly one other person there. She is a stranger to me, and I was surprised when she decided to take a seat that was just two feet away. I smiled and said hello, made a little small talk about weather and whatnot. But what grabbed my attention was how she injected herself into everything that was said. Every time one of my kids would ask me a question, or say something to me, she would answer for me. Same if I was talking to them, she would answer for my child. ??!?? 😕 I had never even met her before that day, and now she was filling in gaps in the conversation like we were sisters or something. Very odd. I was kinda glad to be done with this experiment. ---

Yesterday was quite a day. **Product:** [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) 2x strength **Application:** 4 sprays - wrists, neck, chest, hair My MIL had a flight up to NY to visit her daughter. It was my job to get her to the airport on time. Well, the hubby had the day off, so we decided to make a family trip of it, and do some shopping and whatnot. We live in a rural area, so a trip to the city is not to be wasted. The airport we were going to was DFW. It takes between 3.5 and 3.75 hours to drive from our house to DFW. We allowed for drive time and 2 hour check-in policy, which made us leave at 4:45 a.m. in order to make a 10:30 a.m. plane. Hubby took the first turn driving, and being very tired from getting my kids ready to go so early, I promptly fell back to sleep in the car. It was pouring rain, horrible visibility. In retrospect I should have stayed awake. When I woke again, 2 hours had passed. Hubby said he’d like it if I’d spell him with the driving, so we switched seats. As I started down the road, I realized that something didn’t look right. I saw the name of the town on their post office…OH NO! We were way off course. It turns out that hubby had taken a wrong turn when he changed highways, and we had traveled about an hour in the wrong direction! Backtracking to the place where we went wrong took another hour. I spent three hours driving the highways of SE Oklahoma and NE Texas at between 85 and 95 mph. I never saw a single cop during the whole drive. Okay…Mom’s flight was at 10:32. Check in was supposed to be at 8:30. We arrived at the airport at 10:15. No time for goodbyes…hubby grabs her bags and runs into the terminal with her. She checks in at 10:17 - exactly making the 15 minute cut-off. They told her to board anyway, so she gets on her plane and they practically shut the door on her as she’s boarding. BUT WE MADE IT! Okay, Instant Shine - here’s how that comes into the picture. Nobody was the least bit upset about this mess up. We were so full of good cheer and happiness that no one argued, cast blame, or got upset about a non-refundable ticket. We knew we weren’t going to make that flight, and we knew we would likely get a huge ticket for driving so fast. But nobody seemed to be upset at all. I love Instant Shine. ---

**Product:** P91 **Application:** 25 mcg to wrists **Self Effects:** none noted. **Environment:** indoors, at home, at work. Temperature @ 80F. **Effect on others:** none noted. **Product:** P91 **Application:** 37.5 mcg to wrists and neck **Self Effects:** felt somewhat more placid. Not sure if this was from the P91 **Environment:** indoors, at work **Effect on others:** none noted. One of my hubby’s co-workers gave me a hug today, which he has never done before. Of course, at the time he was thanking me for a baby gift for his daughter who will be born in two weeks, so I doubt if the hug was from the pheros. ---

**Product:** [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) 2x strength **Application:** 3 sprays to hair, wrists **Product:** Meo-Est **Application:** 40 mcg **Product:** TAF **Application:** 20 mcg Big project day, cleaning out the shed. We haven’t touched it yet since we moved in, and it was awful. There was so much awful junk in there, all of it covered with spiderwebs and other unidentifiable gunk. Everything was very dirty, the shed was gloomy, I was grouchy about having to do it at all. But, we need room for hand tools, lawnmower, bicycles, seasonal items, storage, etc… and so the dirty deed needed done. This layered grouping is harmonizing, upbeat and works well to mesh people together. The TAF kept us on track, the Shine kept us joking and singing, and the Meo-Est kept us from getting on each others nerves. My kids all wanted to help with this awful chore, and we were done well before lunch. The little ones couldn’t do much, but they could sweep cobwebs off walls with a broom, or stomp on spiders. The three year old kept us entertained by screeching like a banshee every time she saw a wasp. Which happened a lot. The baby found a basket and filled it with a bunch of old croquet balls which he promptly climbed up and sat on, crowing like he was king of the hill. And my son made the delightful discovery of an old trash can behind the shed, full to the brim with debris. The lid had been left off, and we have gotten six inches of rain in the last week. We have been brewing garbage tea in that trash can. Yuck. I’m tired, and my arms are sore from hauling away all the old junk. I have two new bruises that I’m not sure where they came from. But I got to spend the day with the family, doing a useful task, laughing together, having fun. We made memories. A good day. 🙂 ---

I’m getting ready to make another order, and this is what I’m thinking of getting: P78 [P83](https://a314.com/product/p83/) P98 and restocking some basics that keep running out waaayy too fast. I’m going to try out the coconut vanilla scent, see what it’s like. I like foody scents, and others who have used it seem to think the coconut is pretty genuine smelling. I can’t stand fake, chemically-smelling scents. Any thoughts on the coconut vanilla? ---

> [@moonwhisper](#): > > Any thoughts on the coconut vanilla? I have one product in coconut vanilla. It reminds me of a suntan lotion except a bit “dustier”. My family seems to not like it in high spray amounts and they always complain when I wear it. One of my guy friends also complains a lot when I wear it too. Not one of my faves. I’d stick to one scent personally. Cookie and grapefruit are my faves cus I can get away with more sprays with those scents. Forget about [Neroli](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/androtics-neroli/). One spray and I’m done. Two and people start to complain 🙄 Your choice tho. It’s not my fave of the bunch. ---

Even if nothing else, you can stay punctual with one scent and work it. i think part of my problem was too much mixing and matching to make some pretty vile smells in retrospect. When i stick to one scent for all my products in one given day, I always get at least one compliment on it. Anyways, cheers MW, and hope all is well with you. ---

MCO!!! 😃 Missin’ you buddy. Hope you’re enjoying college. I agree with you about the one scent idea. There are some that you can layer or mix without it getting muddy and gross, but not too many. I like to layer grapefruit and neroli, it brightens the neroli a lot. I have a distinct memory of layering grapefruit and chocolatini…yuck! 😮 I adore neroli, and have most of my products in that scent. I also like grapefruit, but usually for outdoor wear. I find chocolatini too heavy, and cookie too sickly sweet. I guess I was just looking for a change, but if the coconut is heavy and dense like it sounds then maybe I’ll skip it. Thanks Kitsune, for your input. Funny how scents work for some people and not for others. Good thing we’re not all the same, think how boring the world would be. ---

Thinking some more about A314, and trying it again. The problem was how it confused my head, so I decided to wear it as far away from my face as possible. **Product:** A314 **Application:** 1/2 drop applied to ankles **Product:** Instant Sexiness A **Application:** 2 sprays to wrists and inner elbows **Product:** [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) 2x strength **Application:** 3 sprays, to forearms, neck and chest This seemed to be a successful mix, in that it gave me the confidence of IS/a without the domineering feeling of A314. People were considerate, careful in their speech around me, and not the least bit domineering. Lots of laughs and boisterous fun, which I attribute to all that IS! 😃 I actually got invited to a men’s function, a sort of guy’s weekend of activities (horseback riding, motorcycles, shooting, four-wheeling, racing, etc.), and there seemed to be an understanding that I could hold my own with any of the guys there. This has NOT happened before. I love that type of activity, and would enjoy spending time with these guys as they are my friends, but they have never invited me before. It is always a no-woman event. We always tease them that they’re just looking for a place to fart and scratch without having to say ‘excuse me’ to anyone. 🙄 So, I’m thinking that the A314 gave me a more masculine vibe than I usually put out, which put them at ease in a different sort of way. Like maybe I fit in more as one of the guys, and not so feminine, or at least they weren’t noticing that femininity. Doggone it! So much more testing before I can draw any real conclusions. I’m having trouble keeping things straight in my head, though, and haven’t had time to write in my regular journal lately. Typing here is faster. So I’ll try to jot down reactions to A314 as I go, and get some conclusions after a while. I’m going to have to get ahold of some MX300 and see how it compares, too. ---

Today’s pheros: **Product:** EOW **Application:** 4 drops, 1 to belly, 2 to cleavage, 1 to left wrist **Product:** P91 **Application:** 50 mcg to neck **Product:** MX235 **Application:** 2 sprays in same spots as EOW I will let you know how this combo worked out after the hubby comes home and I can test it. 🙂 I am thinking more about A314 and how to beat the masculine vibe it gives me. I have so much trouble not being ‘invisible’ and feeling tiny and useless when wearing MX135 or it’s cousins. I’m thinking now that this type of delicate female ‘protect me’ vibe would work well to soften up the A314 and make it more feminine. I’m also wishing that something would improve the invisibility problem for me, because I have four to-go’s of MX135, 235, 335 and don’t want to give up on it. Anyhoo…just some thoughts for now. Testing it out tomorrow, maybe. Has anyone who has similar problems with MX135 tried it out this way? ---

Yesterday I wore: **Product:** EOW **Application:** 4 drops, 1 to belly, 2 to cleavage, 1 to left wrist **Product:** [P91](https://pheromonelabs.com/) **Application:** 50 to neck **Product:** MX235 **Application:** 2 sprays in same spots as EOW That was a fun mix. After one hour I was feeling lighthearted and joyous. Little incidents struck me as extremely funny, holding my stomach, tears rolling down my cheek, begging for mercy kind of laughter. 🙂 Even at three hours, we were all lighthearted and giddy over dinner, and afterwards. My kids were willing, even eager, to eat foods they’re normally not crazy about (I made beef stroganoff) and to try new things. Very bouyant, bouncy mix. I have always been struck by how Diane categorized P91 as a cheerful, loving molecule, but hadn’t seen it in my own experience. I guess what I needed was a higher dose. 50 mcg seemed to do the trick very well. As for the rest of it…hubby was amorous, but not lusty. Attentive, but not possessive. He seemed eager in bed, but just as happy to let me lead as to lead. Not exactly what I was looking for, but okay. He snuggled up behind me and spooned when we went to bed last night. After a couple of minutes, he says, ‘Ten years and I can still barely keep my hands off you.’ I said, ‘Why are you keeping your hands off of me?’ ??? 🙄 😃 ---

**Product:** P91 **Application:** 50 mcg to chest and neck **Product:** [Instant Honesty](https://a314.com/product/instant-honesty/) **Application:** 4 sprays to wrists and inner elbows Checking out the P91 again. The hilarity and comraderie of the last test was not apparent today, although the dosage was the same. Could be one of any number of reasons. I did not layer it with the same stuff, it was a thunderstorm day, the baby isn’t feeling too good, you know the kinds of things that can dampen your day. No adverse reactions, no wonderful ones. Maybe we were just having an ‘eh’ sort of day. I have been giving some more thought to TUTH, which was awesome at first and then eluded me during subsequent tests. That level of sexual arousal should be available whenever, right? Another self-test today. **Product:** Turn up the Heat **Application:** just a dab under the nose Again, nothing. No noticeable effects, so I added: **Product:** TAF **Application:** 20 mcg, to chest POW! Wowsers, this was effective. 2 minutes - warm and wet, sexual organs somewhat engorged 3 minutes - breathing harder, fixated on desire 5 minutes - very aroused, the friction of my underwear almost unbearable 10 minutes - desperate for relief 30 minutes - calmer but aroused 40 minutes - desire has abated, I’m calm now. There is a wonderful warmth spreading through my belly. I had the distinct impression that this type of arousal could have gone on and on for hours given the right catalyst. A deep voice on the phone, or a sexy male form to look upon, that sort of thing. That sort of sexual super-energy demands to be spent, though, and these self tests are excruciating, when they work. I’m so glad I tried the TAF. I have to give credit for that to Andrew88777, something from one of his reports stuck with me, about not getting the results he wanted using straight -none, and adding TAF. Thanks, buddy! This androstenone arousal seems to mirror my own personality. I am not a slow-starter, and intense once I get started. That made me glad, because so many people have worried about pheros turning them into little mone-robots. That isn’t the case, it just amplifies who you are underneath. Gosh, I had no idea I was so horny underneath, lol. ---
