Hello. No, really. Hello. Can I say “Hello” more times for another $15? I didn’t think so. I’m 29, M and in Wisconsin (but you can see all that already, can’t you) as well as Married (which is not already visible, eh?). My hobbies include lotion crafting and board games and sewing/tailoring. I’ve ordered a few things, to experiment a little on the grumpy unfriendly desperately-in-need-of-another-drink people of Wisconsin and see if I can’t do something to cheer up the extremely small percentage of them my wife and I encounter. Perhaps a little something for a bit of an edge at work as well would be nice too. Been lurking for a while. Finally ordered IS, A314, and some MX134 or whatever was the female version of A314 for some subtle addition to my wife’s hand lotion or leave-in-conditioner or something. ---

geesh ash, if your going to get all sneaky and add to your wifes cosmetics, i got a list of products here to try [http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/evilgrin0007.gif](http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/evilgrin0007.gif) you sound openminded… if your also sounding _playful_ i’d get me a handful of to-go’s ---

Hey now, I’m not sneaky… I just happen to mix all her lotions from scratch and if I were to add a few ml of something it would just disappear among the other 90,000 bottles and jars of crap I dump in. What did you have in mind? Openminded? Oh no, I’m afraid my mind is very closed. Why, I don’t think anything much has leaked out at all. I can’t say the same for my lotion supplies, the dang oils tend to leak all the time. Or maybe it’s just spills…? Actually, everything I’ve ordered so far is a to-go size I think. I wanted to start small and see which things have a noticeable effect. Though I must admit the whole blind test subject aspect of it makes it somewhat interesting. That how successful I decide things are will be based on what she happens to mention. Usually, it’s things like “The cashier was so RUDE to me today”. Now, my wife is the sweetest person you can imagine, 95% small town girl, so I know nobody has a _reason_ to be rude to her, but people here are just rude. Same towards me, really, though I’m from big city, so I get a little bit less personally offended when people are rude. Hoping to soften people up a bit and make them nicer. Ergo the A314 for work + a bit of IS. Probably need to get some IO and IH or something as well I suppose, but I thought I’d start with sample sized to-go’s and a small order. Just to decide what’s worth it… ---

well well well… with all that in mind, my recommendations are definately instant shine, [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/) applied to the hair is a social firecracker, and for the love or everything scented, pick you up some TAH. not some 5 mcg stuff, but hook you up with the 15-20 mcg stuff. [TAH is magic! - PheroTalk Pheromone Forum](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/tah-is-magic/406) read this, its a beginning to why TAH is a beautiful thing. there have been a million threads about TAH alone since, but this one is a good beginners thread. you’ll be sold. as for the mixing in oils, thats very tricky. sillage is everything ,and im afraid the oils dont do much to help that for alot of this stuff. keep us posted, im sure you will have lots of fun here 🙂 P.S. im here for the help,sorry if calling you sneaky was offensive; where i reside sneaky is not only a compliment, but its the air i breathe…mua hahahahahaha… [http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/love0084.gif](http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/love0084.gif) ---

Eh, sorry if my response to being called sneaky was confusing. I thought mock offense + example of sneaky behavior + invitation for sneaky advice seemed appropriate as a counter-example of the mock offense. I’ve read several forums about TAH and had some in my cart, but it somehow fell out before I ordered. Actually, I couldn’t decide on the strength, it seemed like people tended towards various strengths and I wasn’t sure. Not familiar with your term ‘sillage’, but you can’t quite make lotion without oil and water. Little heat, some emulsifiers, and whammo, lotion. Mighty strange. ---

ahhh, used to make my own. have a couple secret recipes, but im a huge fan of bee - products. wouldnt imagine making a lotion using anything but a bit of beeswax and fresh aloe filets … i definately think though once you get your hands on a product or two and satisfy your wonder about the efficacy, we will talk more on what wifey would enjoy the heck out of 😛 ---

If you’ll excuse the foot I’ve stuck in my mouth… Beeswax lotions? That sounds neat. I have some for making lip balm, but how exactly does that work as a lotion? Yes, once I’ve had a chance to see things work I’m sure I’ll be making another larger more serious order, which will probably be next week. I expect something noticeable fairly soon after arrival, though I realize it may be subtle. So, you would suggest 15-20 mcg TAH, plus [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) and IO? (1x or 2x?) Trying to decide what’s going to work out best for myself too. I’m reading so much it’s like a bit of an overload with all the acronyms. ---

> [@](#): > > So, you would suggest 15-20 [mcg](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microgram) [TAH](https://pheromonelabs.com/), plus [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) and [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/)? (1x or 2x?) instant shine is just so fabulous the way it is, that getting it 2X for the first order isnt necessary. second order, go with 2X. reason being is that reg shine will affect just fine, after that, _without a break_ 2X might be needed, unless you take time off from it , which people who have had so much success with it tend to _not_ do .😛 IO i would get 2X. then 1 spray is all you’ll need to see a difference! TAH def in 15-20mcg . if you like the results,you’ll end up using it up so fast at 10mcg that you mind as well save yourself the trouble 🙂 ---

Thanks for the help Lor! I seem to remember reading that some of the for Him and for Her instants were the same. Would that include IO and instant shine perchance? I can’t seem to find the thread where I saw that… ---

I can’t seem to find the thread where I saw that… yes sir,they are the same. occasionally they will tweak a formula if they know a men’s formula for instance would benefit from more of whatever,or different ratios, but overall they are the same. 🙂 ---
