Enjoyed a great day yesterday while wearing Voracious. 1 spray to my chest and one to my neck after morning shower.
The reason I'm here to write about it is that I noticed an exceptionally high number of positive, friendly, more talkative-than-usual interactions with people throughout the day. This is all anecdotal, of course, and could have been because it was a beautiful day and everyone, including me, was in a good mood. But in comparing past interactions with specific people to interactions we had yesterday, I noticed a significant uptick in friendly gestures.
For example, I was standing in line at the grocery store, and the lady in line next to me offered for me to go ahead of her. It was really nice of her and I totally didn't expect it. I didn't, but thanked her.
A few minutes later the lady working the checkout line (who I go to every time because she has the most beautiful blue eyes, but is normally shy and soft spoken) started a conversation with me about the lip balm I was buying. She put it to her nose and smelled it, and said, "Mmm, smells good. You're stocking up, I see." (I bought three). I laughed and said that "Yeah, I keep losing them."
I was trying to keep it friendly, but also didn't want to hold up the line for people behind me. But she *kept talking*, and was getting flirty. "Well, stop doing that.", she teased. "I always lose mine, too, and buy more, but then find the ones I thought were lost. So they're never really lost." Lots of eye contact, smiling, and not caring at all about the line. By that time I was just smiling and agreeing with her to hasten my polite exit.
Later that night I went to my son's school for our group teacher-parent meeting, where the teacher brings all the parents up to speed on what's going on with the kids. I gave my neck another light spray of Voracious about an hour before I got there.
I ran into a married couple (parents with a child in a different grade than mine) in the parking lot on my way in, who I'm friendly with but don't know well. But they're super cool. First the husband gave me a giant smile and shook my hand; he was genuinely happy to see me. I said hello to his wife (with a friendly smile. I didn't offer my hand or a hug), who in the past has always been friendly but reserved. She said hello with a big smile and then initiated & gave me the nicest hug. Wow.
The rest of the evening I noticed similar things. Big smiles, more eye contact, and longer conversation lengths from people I was talking with (both men and women).
I think Voracious is pretty awesome.
