xs209 - Friendly

[Cheerio]

I'm kicking off the thread for Friendly because I didn't see any other threads about it yet; it must be very brand new as the others are (since I didn't see any threads for the others). I intend on wearing this very soon, but if I don't go out, I'll wear it on Monday for my personal training session. I have had enough visits and sessions at the gym to be able to notice a difference in how people might interact with me. Granted, no one has really interacted with me, so I'll absolutely notice a difference!

I'm going to try something I've never tried before - wearing one pheromone at a time, lol. I hope to come back with some great reports! Please feel free to use this thread to share your own experiences with Friendly!

Okay, I had every intention on wearing it today but I forgot it at home. But also, the gym was dead this morning - so good call anyway. We will try again next time!

Wore two sprays of this yesterday when I went back to the gym and ended up taking a Pilates fusion class. I didn't really notice anything different. One of the workers there maintained eye contact with me until I looked up and she said "let me know if you need anything, okay?" She was really sweet. Other than that, didn't notice anything different.

x2 XS209 Friendly I didn't notice it immediately, but I did have a mood boost, feeling upbeat, was chatty with our sitter and vice versa dropping of lil Nu in the morning.
I noticed the effect seemed to be more on me than on others, where I was feeling inclined to be more friendly and open, opening others instead of vice versa.
I seemed more patient and was more interactive with lil Nu later in the day when I really was tired and just wanted to relax instead
Interactions with others seemed pretty normal other than that I felt more outwardly like I was the one seeking interaction first.

Seems like it was the day before.
Interactions are easy and flowing, but, again, I'm the one doing the opening.

It's still early in the day, so I'll revisit later but here are some observations so far...

- Seems like it would be good socially if you're the kind of person who needs a bump coming out of your shell. This blend may make you want to interact, but if you're too shy it may override that impulse.
- While Interactions are smooth and flowing, it doesn't have that same draw and "it" factor. It's quiet and understated.
- It does make me friendly and want to talk with people, but I don't feel like they are experiencing my pixie sparkle like with some other XS products.

I am enjoying its laid back demeanor though.
Will be back if anything else stands out today

Nothing extra to report from 12.07.21.
I will say that I​​​​​​ feel the pixie sparkle even if others aren't, lol. But interactions have been friendly and upbeat. I may not be their focus, but they are definitely getting the good vibes.

x2 Busy morning. I find this mix motivates me to get things done, that I want/need to be busy?

I was home but we had 1 vehicle today, so I drove lil Nu to sitter's and then met Mr Right to drop off my car and he and we had a quick breakfast together before taking him to work.

Cashier was super friendly and interactive, but she said she was nearing the end of her shift when we inquired if she was always so chipper, lol!
She pointed out that we should check out one of the bills we received as change, that it looked different to her and that she thought it might be worth something. Sure enough upon checking it later, it was a silver certificate That was thoughtful of her to say something, I would never have looked at it otherwise.

After dropping off Mr Right I returned home and began making roast beast. While that was cooking low and slow I attacked my closet.
Tops, shoes, jeans, wigs, dresses, paperwork, hats, scarves, purses, EVERYTHING out and sifted through. That was a 4 hour task but I was completely motivated to have it reorganized and orderly. Mission accomplished!
Back to kitchen duty to simmer down some delicious, flavorful dark, thick brown gravy...

Time to pick up Mr Right! I was in a VERY good mood. Reapplied x1 spray as it been 9 hours since first app.

We went to fetch lil Nu and go pick up my car. It was a pleasant drive for us all and things at the dealership went smoothly. Had a pleasant and somewhat lengthly exchange with the service rep.

Once again, when we got home, right into kitchen duties. You NEED to have mashed potatoes with roasted beast. It a rule First thing Mr Right did was attack the roast beef, you know, quality control, lol, and I passed

Basically after that we had a quiet, pleasant family night and I felt quite accomplished - if you had seen my closet previously you would understand I the roasted beast and mashed potatoes and gravy were SOOOOO good, if I don't say so myself

For me at least, this blend makes me feel upbeat, motivated and outgoing. At least, so far

Am I the only one who can report a head ache by the end of the day caused by this one?

Copy/pasted from my journal:

I finally took Friendly (XS209) out for a solo spin recently. I’ll admit it’s been sitting on my shelf forever — I’ve only tried it once or twice and only with other blends.

I was exhausted, in a bad mood, and overwhelmed with errands when all I wanted was to lounge at home. Applying it was kind of an impulsive "screw it" moment — I figured it couldn’t make things worse. I applied 1.5 sprays to the chest.

Right after application, I felt a bit spacey for a few minutes, but slowly and steadily that wore off. Within about 30 minutes, my entire mood and energy had shifted. I found myself enjoying the beautiful day and genuinely wanting to be out and about. By the time I finished my errands, I actually felt bummed that I had nowhere else to go.

It's worth noting I felt way more emotionally in tune — maybe even a little sentimental, but not in a heavy or depressive way. I was just very aware of my emotions and easily touched.

I also felt more open to the people around me. At lunch, a guy was staring at me — normally I wouldn't entertain this but this time I glanced back multiple times. I found myself wishing I had company while running errands, which is very unlike me. I usually really enjoy the solitude.

One of the most noticeable shifts was my increase in patience. Long lines, slow and crappy drivers, etc didn't bother me at all. I was in a "stop and smell the roses" type mood. This was true even when I was in the car - instead of skipping though songs until finding something I like (which I ALWAYS do) I let each song run all the way through and thoroughly enjoyed each one.

For some reason though, this vibe shifted as soon as I got to the grocery store. It wasn't that my mood changed per se....even though I wanted to be up and out doing things, grocery shopping felt like too much mental work. So instead of doing the huge shop I had planned, I grabbed essentials and left.

As for hits, it was hard to say since I was solo most of the day. But I did get complimented on my nails and got an extra warm, chatty greeting from the Whole Foods cashier.

Overall, I really like this blend. It's perfect for leisurely social time and bonding. It seems more suited for intimate gatherings rather than parties.
