Somechick's Journal

I am going to try writing a journal. I don’t really know the best way to get started, so maybe I will just jump in, and hope someone with a clue, and I know you are out there, as you have already been great sources of inspiration and information, will help me figure out the best way to do this.

I bought my first pheromone perfume last winter in a roller bottle from an online drugstore type place. It smelled like vanilla and was nice, but I couldn’t really say if it got me any hits.

So, I did a search, which found me an interesting article that led me to LoveScent and then somehow I ended up here. And I LOVE here! I just wish there were more women posting.

I have in my arsenal, EoW, Instant Sexiness/b, Instant Shine, IO, IH 2X, P74, EST 50 mcg, MX424, MX428 and just received MX430 today.

I hope to continue to have good results and good experiences with AD (they are so great!)and the forum, and thank everyone who has been so nice and helpful so far.

Some of my findings using Instant Shine:

I have had a number of health issues and personal issues in the past ten years. God, how can it really have been that long?! Anyway, I have been on 2 different anti-depressants and had side effects that ranged from sexual(lack of libido with one, inability to have an orgasm-sorry for the TMI, I can edit out if it makes someone uncomfortable-), to extreme agitation, to praying I would die in my sleep.

When I tried Instant Shine the first time, in a couple of minutes I felt calm and relaxed and like ‘me’ again. I haven’t felt like ‘me’ in years! I wasn’t sure I still remembered how to be that girl anymore. I have been using it since August and while I have heard that people build up an immunity to it, so far, so good…it still makes me feel better than prescription medication! I still know how to do happy!

It also makes the people around me much more relaxed and happier, in the case of one co-worker it has caused almost a transformation from someone no one can STAND to someone that will admit her mistakes, laugh at herself and is generally much happier and nicer to be around.

My father lives with me and my children and he and I have not seen eye to eye since I divorced the ‘perfect’ husband and it has been a serious struggle for me to deal with him. We have not gotten along for the past three years, but when I am wearing Instant Shine, he seems less likely to be grumpy at me, and actually talks to me instead of at me…which is nice!

When I go out shopping, clerks are much nicer and more helpful. They initiate conversation more and are much more likely to go out of their way to talk to me. This is unusual because I have been almost invisible for years! My ex-husband used to shake his head every time someone would reach in front of me at the store like I wasn’t there, or walk in front of me, or almost over me, because I was just that door mat no one saw. Even the ex talked to me the other day, and he never, ever talks to me! He still won’t look AT me when he talks to me, he stares at a spot three feet to my right, but he talked, instead of snidely commenting in my general direction.

I have also shared this with several friends. One who is on anti-depressants and has been having trouble finding help with them, They are thinking she is chemically resistant. I sprayed myself with Instant Shine before going to her house and she was very upset when I got there. She called me to remove a snake from her basement and she is totally freaked by them. A few minutes later, she was very calm and even keeled. Her dogs seemed to love the Shine, too. The old dog was even very playful after smelling it…

The other friend used it to relax her super-stressed, possibly bi-polar husband. I have had to give up a couple of bottles from my stock to help her out. She went home and sprayed him because he had called work and was freaking out. When she called him 20 minute later, he was noticeably calmer and she felt he was much more in control. They are having some hard times and starting a business and he needed something to help re-focus him. The Instant Shine seems to help keep him happy and grounded. Their son also seems to love the smell of it and has taken to carrying around one of the empty to-go bottles that I gave her. She says she will be placing an order soon, which is good, because how many of my own should I have to give up!? :wink:

That sounds really great somechick03862 :slight_smile:
Have heard of bad experiences using mones around depressed people but this is definitely a nice report

Thanks for the link! I like getting different perspectives. And thanks for reading and taking the time to reply!

I am in no way suggesting that anyone use pheromones instead of medication/therapy. The people that I have introduced them to are very much aware that their doctors are their best source of help for their conditions. It just helped during a couple of incidents where something needed to give. The friend with the stressed husband has talked to his psychiatrist about using it around him(since that original use, she has been the one wearing it around him, instead of spraying him) and was told as long as she monitored its use and stopped if he reacted strangely to it, that she(the doc) saw no reason it couldn’t help him, in addition to his Zoloft.

I have had depression at different times in my life and this is one of them. I have a noise disorder called hyperacusis and it is at a very severe level. When I had health insurance and a doctor I saw regularly, I was prescribed anti-anxiety medication to help when I was overwhelmed by sound. It helped somewhat but made me very, very tired and lacking motivation. Instant Shine helps me cope, in a different way, sure, but it doesn’t make me sleep all day like the medication. I have been unable to take anti-depressants, so I am trying other avenues to help myself,such as exercise and diet and a very structured life, and my depression isn’t considered clinical.

Being a newbie, I certainly don’t think I have any or all the answers, just some observations and I know if I do or say something wrong, someone here will help me figure it out. Gotta love those with experience!:slight_smile:

Some of the things I have noticed when wearing Instant Openness

I seem to be a favorite with elderly people when wearing IO. There is an old guy who comes in the store and he is a total pain in the ass, he does it to be difficult, his girlfriend told my boss that! It takes all kinds…he seems to like me a WHOLE lot when I am wearing IO. He will get all friendly and tells me where the best place to meet nice men is, even though I have repeatedly told him I am not looking for a man. He tells me I should have one, because a pretty girl should never go to waste! LMAO!

I helped an older man(he told me he was 84) to his car at the grocery store on Monday. He was struggling with his carriage so I asked if I could help and he said yes. So, I took the carriage and he used his cane and we brought his food to his car. When he was trying to get the trunk to pop another lady walked by with her groceries and he said, “Would you look at that! That is some fanny!” I laughed and he said, " I can’t believe I said that! Oh well, I may be old but I still notice!" It was cute and I just helped him put his groceries in the car and brought his cart back to the store with a smile on my face.

A TOTAL hottie stopped me a little while later as I was getting off an elevator and asked me where to find something in the building. He HAD to have walked right by it on his way in and it is marked in huge letters! No missing it. After I told him where to find it, he started chatting about the weather! It was beautiful out, but he was a stranger and there was really no need to chat me up. Not that I was complaining, mind you, he was very fine!

There is a kid about 20 that comes in the store and whenever I wear this he seems to find reasons to come in multiple times and talk to me. My friend tells me he never does this when I am not there, which cracks me up because I am old enough to be his mama and he is totally giving me DIHL looks every time he sees me. He followed me around the grocery store last Friday night, after I bumped into him in produce, too! He’s is a cutie and he is all puppy-eyed, but I am no cradle robber!

What I see when bathed in the beauty of Instant Sexiness B!

I love IS/b! I know that it’s not the powerful force that IS/a was, from what I have read. But I wasn’t here then, and I love the way IS/b makes me feel.

While it isn’t crazy sexual in the sense that it doesn’t make men swarm around me and make fools of themselves, it does make me feel much more confident and as Jack Palance once said, “Confidence is sexy!” I feel sexier when I feel more confident.

With the confidence comes the feeling that I can let my guard down and be myself. I am usually only willing to do that when I feel like I am ‘in my element’ or in my comfort zone. When I wear IS/b, I feel like it expands my comfort zone to wherever I am, not just the places I am familiar with and felt comfortable in the past. I feel like I can go anywhere and take that confidence with me. That is a great feeling for someone who has felt her whole life that she had to hold back.

I have had many, many more men call me pet names when I wear this. I get ‘honeyed. sweetied, etc’ with this more than ever!

It smells good, makes me feel relaxed and confident and like I am comfortable in any situation. I used to hate going anywhere alone, I always needed a wingman, but now, I find that I will walk into any place and feel great doing it!

I guess one of the reasons I love it so much is that, I am 42 years old, short and voluptuous, but NOT a girly-girl(though I wish I was!) and I am not very outgoing unless I am in familiar surroundings, and when I wear this people tell me I look great, that I look 10 years younger and that there is ‘just something about you…’ I wish I had this stuff when I was in my 20’s! It is kind of nice, at my age, with my looks, to get so much attention. I have never been one who likes to be the CENTER of attention, but I don’t mind the periphery!

An Instant Shine story to share!

Yesterday a friend who is also a co-worker, called me at work and asked me if she could stop by for a quick spray before going to a meeting! I had to laugh because she did NOT believe me about this stuff until she tried it. I have had to dip into my own stock for her more than once! But that’s what friends do, right?

Anyway, she told me she loves it, because it puts her in a good mood and she is going through a hard time right now. She has a son that is being tested for autism spectrum disorders and it has been tough on her. I think her use of the Instant Shine is letting her breath while dealing with what needs to be done. She is a very assertive person, so to see her find this helpful, to me, says A LOT! She isn’t one I would have thought needed something like this. But it is really helping her! And I am very glad I could introduce her to something that helps! Now if she would just come buy her own!:smiley:

On another note, I sprayed the most miserable person I know with it yesterday, just one spray, as that was all he’d let me use. He didn’t say anything, so I don’t think he noticed a difference, but honestly, I think he would need it made into a cake, kinda like a soap on a rope, that he could wear around his neck! he’d need mega-doses and constant exposure to help him un-grump!

Haha your friend is lucky having a friend likes you with IS in hand.
So where do you normally spray the mone? :slight_smile:

Good stuff

I feel like I have been gone forever, though I know I am not really known here, so I am sure no one really noticed! :slight_smile:

I had oral surgery and had some problems so I haven’t even been in to read lately and I have missed it. I will be back later to catch up with the goings-on.

I also will be posting a couple of questions for the experts, that might help others also.

TinaN, will address where I spray the mones when I check back in, thanks for reading!

And Thank You P51Mustang for reading!:smiley:

I usually wear it split between my wrists and on my throat for the self effects. Sometimes I spray one spray in my hair because I think it diffuses nicely that way. I have long curly hair and it seems to make me have a nice phero cloud when I wear the pheromones in my hair!

I had the most awesome night last weekend! I was with the guy I am head over heals in love with, even though we are not currently together..long story…

I was wearing IO, IH, IS/b and some EST that i bought in the Trading Post here in the Lounge. I could not pry Mr Wonderful off me all night long! He was open with me about things he has kept bottled up for a long time. He was very touchy, feely and sweet. We have had a very rocky relationship and that night, you would never have known it. It was like the perfect night. He was sweet and attentive, loving and thoughtful. I would LOVE to repeat that night every night for the rest of my life! LOL, I know that isn’t possible, but I would settle for just having him with me every night for the rest of my life.

Not long ago, he was going to move away and all chance of us being together would have been gone. I don’t know if the pheromones have anything to do with his decision to stay, but he signed a lease locally and won’t be going anywhere until the lease is up next summer. We have been getting closer and getting along better than we have in a long time, and I am sure some of that is the lovely phero cloud around me! He is always so hard to crack, but he is so much more willing to open up to me and to really be honest and to listen to me when I am wearing IO and IH, and usually some IShine( I LOVE that stuff!!!)

I wish he were with me tonight, it’s snowing and cold and would be a good night to curl up and see what happens! :wink:

Oh! I won a prize the other night on John Sebastian’s webcast! I am so excited! It is the Androstenol Split Test Mix Pack: MX384, MX385, MX386, MX387. I don’t know much about it, but I am really looking forward to trying it out and reporting on it!

If anyone is actually reading this and knows anything about it, let me know what you think!

And for anyone who hasn’t tried out the webcast, it was a lot of fun! You can chat with other forum members and it was kind of cool to see people’s personality come through in real time, instead of just posts on the forum(which I also love!) I highly recommend checking out the next one, if you have the chance!

Started testing the Androstenol Split Test Mix Pack: MX384, MX385, MX386, MX387, I sometimes feel like testing blind is a bad thing for me, because where I don’t know a lot about all of this, I don’t always know the appropriate place to test them. I don’t know if these are appropriate for work, or not, but that is where I started testing.

First up MX384

Two sprays, one to the throat, one split between my wrists. I decided to test them similarly to the way John Sebastian asked us to test the other MXs I tested (MX424, 428 and 430).

Not really much scent, just something light that I could smell for a few moments when first sprayed.

Self effects: Didn’t really notice any, and I was having a very down day, so that may have effected my results. I couldn’t seem to bring my mood up, even with this MX

Effects on others: I work with a lady I normally get along very well with, she is VERY alpha and I am a total omega(that soooo needs work!) The day I wore the MX384, she was very agitated with me, I didn’t do anything differently than usual, though I was quiet due to my blue mood. She went off on me in a manner totally unlike her, and really took me by surprise. I just atributed it to her having a bad day. Didn’t notice any effects on my customers, but had limited interaction with them.

Diffusion: Because I was in an area with limited interaction, I can’t really say how well the product diffused. I didn’t really notice anything from the customers I would call a hit when I wore it. I had straightened my hair, though and I got comments on that. However, having naturally curly hair. it always causes a ton of strange reactions when people see it straight.

Tenacity: the scent of the product is not strong, as I believe this is unscented. It was not really noticeable on me after a couple of moments and on the first use I did not use a cover scent. I don’t know how long it lasted, as any effects were really subtle.

I didn’t really know what to make of this product, as I have NO idea what it is supposed to do/be, or what type of effect I should be looking for, so I just looked for anything that seemed like the type of hits I get with the socials( I ADORE the socials sigh)…kind of a boring report, I know…

Second day with MX384

Two sprays, one to the throat, one split between my wrists. This time with my usual Ralph as a cover scent

Self effects: I didn’t really notice any improvement in my mood, I was having a tough day again, being the day after I first tested this MX. I was still sad, maybe I should have waited and tested another day, but I wanted to test close together and I was hoping I would see my mood improve like it does with the socials.

Effects on others:The woman that I worked with the day before was on with me again and she seemed fine when I got to work, but within 10- 15 minutes she was very bitchy and aggressive. She was really rotten to one of our customers. Granted this customer can try the patience of a saint, but there was really no need of the butt reaming she received from my co-worker. She also seemed very short with the other customers and with me. In less than an hour she had made a bunch of pissy comments to me, and snapped at me when it was totally uncalled for. Again, not a lot of public interaction, so I was mostly observing the people I work with. My boss was quieter than usual, but I wasn’t sure that it wasn’t because he didn’t want to piss off the other lady we were working with ! LOL

Diffusion: I was probably within 6 feet of the lady I was working with and she was bitchy as hell. I think she was getting my phero scent!

Tenacity: the scent of the product is not strong , I was at work for 5 hours(split shift, didn’t wear it first thing in the AM, was too tired to notice results at 5:30 AM) and the lady I worked with was an aggressive bitch the whole shift, except the first 10 or 15 minutes

I don’t know if I am totally dreaming it, but I think that my co-worker’s aggressive mood was because of this MX. I don’t know if that even makes sense, but she was fine when I got there, nothing really changed except me, and she went off the rails. Both days that I wore this around her, she was a MAJOR alpha BITCH! The third day, I didn’t wear it at all and she was her normal self. I don’t know if the MX made me give off an alpha vibe( I didn’t feel it, because I was depressed) and she didn’t react well to that…I really don’t know, but I think she went all alpha on me because of the MX384. I intend to try it again once I have tried the others and compare notes.

I know my reporting isn’t the best, I am still learning! Bear with me, and please, any advice is appreciated!

MX385

Two sprays, one split between my wrists, one to my throat, for self-effects. No cover scent used

Self effects: Didn’t really notice any. I was hoping for a little uplift, but didn’t really notice anything. Maybe I was trying too hard, but with things like Instant Shine, I usually just realize 'Wow! I am happy!" and this didn’t give me anything like that. After about a half hour, I realized that I was in a very introspective mood, and I hadn’t been before the sprays of the MX

Effects on others: Was working with an early 20’s girl, not very bright(not being mean, but she is NOT the sharpest knife in the drawer, I should tell some stories…) She usually never shuts up, prattles on incessantly about her snakes and her rabbits(she does NOT feed them to the snakes, yet…)her drinking habits, how much dope she smoked over the weekend, you get the idea…anyway, she was very quiet, not distant or in a bad mood, just kind of thoughtful and quiet, but it was a very comfortable atmosphere, with me being so introspective and her being less talkative than usual. She is usually one who doesn’t seem comfortable with silences, but we both just did our jobs in a kind of companionable silence. The others at work were in and out, but also not very bubbly, more thoughtful than usual.

Diffusion: People were nice, but very laidback, still, I did notice a lot of eye contact and polite behavior, but not a lot of the goofiness that can surround me when I am at work, and in my element! So, I would guess that any effects were within the 6-8 foot range

Tenacity: subtle scent, seemed like I was in that odd kind of mood for the whole 6 hours and it kept the other girl quiet and working the whole time, too. I was not in a very good mood within an hour or two of getting home, but I was really tired. I am covering vacation hours and working strange shifts.

I would say this MX is the reason for my quiet mood. I wasn’t sad quiet, I was thoughtful quiet. That isn’t a bad thing at all. It seemed like it helped me remain focused on my job and not get distracted by the things that have been making me depressed. I will be testing it again, should have today, but I needed my Instant Shine, IO glow! I was missing it!

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!

Keep truckin, tough times are always around. Just gotta keep on getting up and moving forward. The longer you let it beat you down the harder it is.

Thank you, one of the reasons I am here is because I find the pheromones are helping me to keep from getting beat down. Instant Shine is my new best friend! It really helps me stay upbeat, even on days when I’d be crying otherwise.

Tisha suggested some A314 for me, because of some issues I have with my ex-husband. I haven’t bought it yet, because frankly I am afraid of it, but I think it may help me make some forward progress :slight_smile:

Somechick, I love your reports and your writing style, you’re so funny! :slight_smile:
