Going through a rough time right now, so I decided not to test another of the Test Mix MXs. I needed a little break from such careful observation and thought I would wear something I know get results, but it’s okay if I miss some of them.
Instant Openness/Instant Honesty 2X
Two sprays of each, which I know is a little too much IH, I was thinking it was regular strength when I sprayed it! LOL! I sprayed the IO on my wrists and the back of my hair, the IH went on the top pf my head andthe back of my hair.
I get a little bubblier with the IO, not sure I really feel much from the IH, but I wear it where it will effect others more than me for a reason! Not as upbeat as when I wear IS, but I wanted just these two for this particular day.
I put this on about 30 minutes before going to work. The girl I was working with told me a couple of things that she shouldn’t have. I know she wouldn’t have told me if I hadn’t been wearing these. She knew that what she said would hurt me, and she told me anyway. It was about my old flame…ouch!
Refreshed with 1 spray of each after 5 hours.
Anyway, customers seemed really into chatting me up. I had been wearing my naturally curly hair straight for about a week, so a couple of people told me which way they like it better and then just wouldn’t stop talking!
One guy, who is a regular that I have known for years, came in at lunch time and said “You are still here!?”, because he had seen me there at 6 AM, I said, “Sorry to disappoint you!” LOL, and he said “Oh believe me, I am not disappointed!” then he babbled on about an old bf of mine that he is friends with, and a bunch of the people we all used to hang around( I didn’t know this guy until after the old bf and I split), his motorcycle collection, etc…he could NOT seem to tear himself away from me. He stood there while I waited on a bunch of other people, just hanging back until the crowd thinned, so he could say goodbye again. He really seemed reluctant to go, even though the guy with him was checking his watch. The whole time he was talking to me, he would not take his eyes off me.
Other people were very friendly, chatty and witty around me, as well. I went to the store after work and the deli clerk about launched himself over the case at me, so he could show me a new cheese! He is in his early twenties and lately(since the mones) every time I go in the store, he goes out of his way to talk to me, he will yell to me from 15 feet away! If he is going on break when I am in the store, he will walk around ‘helping’ me find things, though I am sure I was shopping there before he was born! Maybe he heard my daughter saying one day that my 10 year old son would be dating before I did and he thinks I need some charity…*
Wore this same mix a couple of days ago to Toys R Us and the clerk would NOT go away! She was about 18-20 and seemed very socially uncomfortable, but when she had been helping me find something for a few minutes, she seemed to visibly relax. She ended up telling me about her baby daughter, how the father is in jail but they are better off, how she picked the baby’s name,that she has her mother to help her out, but she pissed her off the night before and was afraid she was going to get kicked out, you get the picture! I had to flee when she went to help someone else because I had someone meeting me for coffee at Barnes and Noble next door and I was already late!
I definitely notice that with the IO, people really do engage more. I find sales help less annoying, but more helpful when I am shopping. In the grocery store the cashiers seem to hold up the line so they can finish telling me a story even though I am all paid and bagged. Strangers ask for my advice when shopping near me. This is really huge to me, because I have been invisble for years!
The IH really does make people spill their guts, and that is not always good, but mostly it is . I am soooo sad about what my co-worker spilled yesterday, even though I only heard what her take was on something. I know if Mr Wonderful( LOL, a customers name for the one I carry the torch for) were to call, he would likely tell it different and in my experience, he is the one I really need to hear from. When I wore IH around him, it was AMAZING! And I cannot wait for the chance to try it again!
