What are these fun looking things?! 

These are the best sugar scrubs, ever! The best scrubs I have ever used, actually, sugar or otherwise. 😊

Me: Today, I'm going with Manda Panda

BF: I dated her once

@halo0073 Yes! I was going to mention La Femme Noire in oil because it has that get-up-and-go effect on me, too. The only reason I didn't is because of the sexual component. But LFN in oil definitely makes me want to get off my duff and get shit done.

Hello Bruja,

 

I'm glad you reached out. I just reached out as well and it feels so fantastic when other people around the globe care enough to answer.

I'm a depression & anxiety suffer as well, since the birth of my children. Every 6 months I do a major anti-candida program (against yeast growing in the body) because I tend to soothe my symptoms with sugar and carbs which  just spirals things down more. And then the yeast overgrows in my body and adds to my depression and anxiety. May not work for you, but reduces my symptoms by about half for a few months.

 

On a pheromomone level, I use Mega Matt when I first get up (or if it's really bad, apply still in bed and hit the snooze button). By afternoon/evening, I reach for anything with androstadienone , so Balm Bomb, Teddy Potion BB, Phero 2.2 seem to reduce anxiety to help with sleep. Mother's Little Helper, Perfect Match, The Love God make me feel loved and cared about, less lonely, and help me reduce anxiety through that route, as though someone has my back and it's not all on me. 

 

Maybe that helps a little ? You are not alone. 

I'm glad you brought up sugar, @androstenol. I cut sugar out completely about 5 years ago, and after I got over the initial withdrawal symptoms, (which were admittedly unpleasant in the extreme, being that I suspect I'm actually addicted), I experienced a huge rebound in energy, mood and a noticeable lifting of "brain fog" type of symptoms. I allow myself a little sugar these days, but cut WAY back again if I notice I'm letting it get out of hand again, because I don't want to go back down that foggy, low-energy, low-mood path again. 

Abstaining from sugar aside, the biggest game-changer for me has been yoga. I know, @bruja, that you were just asking for phero recommendations. But since @androstenol was adding her 2 cents about sugar, I figured I might as well second her 2 cents, and add my own. Yoga is a fabulous mood & energy lifter.

Thanks for that, J - yeah it should be noted it could be either Dominance or Leather to provide that kind of hard nudge for climbing over your own entropy, as it were.

Dominance tends to highlight my flash bomb temper. I learned that the hard, embarrassing way. A few times. 

Leather lends me a dose of "git 'er done" mentality. It's all the fire power I can personally handle. 

Just now, luna65 said:

Sort of?  I would say Manda Panda is a bit sweeter and fresher overall.  But a similar "light and bright" vibe.

Great! Thanks! 

@luna65, is this reminiscent of Stealing Heaven? (Please say yes!) 

I'm sorry to hear that you've been feeling so poorly. 

I've had issues with major depressive episodes and anxiety on and off since I was about 12. 

I definitely second all of Luna's suggestions. Balm Bomb is of particular help to me, being that it seems to help ease both anger and sadness when I feel overwhelmed by them. I have a girlfriend who has panic attacks, and she finds Balm Bomb very soothing. 

I work at a job that requires me to be excessively social for my comfort level, something I find frustrating and draining. At work I often reach for Open Windows, which seems to help give my mood and energy a gentle boost in the right direction. 

Now that I'm thinking about it, I think the reason I like BB and OW so much is that they both tend to temper other people's behavior toward me. Balm Bomb sort of softens people up a bit. Open Windows tends to spread a little good cheer. 

I shy away from Dominance because it sets my temper on a hair trigger. But I have been known to use light doses of Leather on occasion, when I feel I need a little discipline, backbone or just plain old "oomph". 

SWEET! I can't wait! 

Rocket Fuel with Bang Bang!   I didn't think Rocket Fuel could get any better! 

I missed the live version, but just listened in to the recording on FB. Fun stuff! I'll be tuning in tomorrow!  

WOOHOO!

The hands of Eggers...

There's a wild side here, someone who can be whimsical to the point of abandon! And this comes from a free flowing creativity of thought. You were born with strong intuitive ability - a natural empath. You're good at divining what other people need. Your hands say that you are strong and capable, very smart, and feel things VERY deeply. I see a great deal of natural talent here, but it shows that you have not yet chosen to hone those talents for your own advancement really. It's more like, you are using these whimsical energies for having fun, and like...being the organizer or hostess of the party, but not demanding of the spotlight yourself. Your fate line has these little ties to your life line, that show that part of who you are is a desire to be in service to others. It also shows, like Eve's reading, that you have been here at regular intervals in the past, and while hers shows indications of being here as a teacher, yours shows indications of being here to help others. It's nice to see though, that you are not drowning yourself in responsibilities. There's a clear sense of GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN!

Wow Mara! Reading this is like reading my Myers-Briggs stuff combined with my astrology chart! You're bang-on with most of that.

What really rings true for me from this reading is that yes, I'm very creative, but no, I haven't really worked at honing a skill for anyone's use but my own amusement. I liken this to my having Mars and Neptune conjunct in my 12th House, which basically means that I'm a highly artistic dreamer without a lot of drive!   And yes, I do tend to get caught up in making fun for myself and people around me, rather than get down to business. I've most DEFINITELY got a wild side of the "abandon" variety. I don't let that side show a lot, but when I do, WHOO! 

I've seen "service" scattered through so many different readings I've had, both metaphysical and psychological, that hearing you say it too is not surprising. Any career tests that I've taken in the past have always pointed toward service of some type, (they all also mention writing and photography as being solid career paths for me to explore). Astrologically speaking, I have Saturn in my 6th House. Saturn is a planet of Karma, and of responsibility, while the 6th House is the "house of service". It seems fitting that my job/responsibility is literally, service. 

I'm certainly an empath - at least, face to face. I soak up other people's moods and energies like a sponge, and it's exhausting, especially considering I work with the public. But it's a "talent" that's served me well in terms of friendships, as well as in avoiding bad situations. That would be Neptune in my 12th House, too. 

I am strong, smart, and yes, I feel things very deeply. But I don't often let on. I bury stuff. That would be my Moon in Capricorn. It's in my First House though, so anyone who knows me even a little can usually tell when something's up, even if I'm laughing and joking around. 

This was really cool, Mara! Thank you so much for taking the time to upload my pics, and do the reading, and then write it out. I'm a little flabbergasted to be honest!   I'm going a little stir-crazy here, as I'm sure most of us are, so it's really awesome to have a little fun, too!

It was either a component issue or they just didn't sell all that well.

That's a shame. It sounds like it was a good one.

@Eggers  this is how I post photos. 
 

Go to here:

https://www.flickr.com
 

create a free account. 
 

upload any photos you want to share. 
 

To post photos from Flickr  on the forum I have to use a tablet with a physical mouse because I can’t figure out how to do this next part from my iPhone. 
 

What I do is open Flickr and in a separate window open our forum. 
 

I go to Flickr, choose my account from the top menu bar,  then choose my “camera roll”,  the camera roll part is important. 
 

When you look at your camera roll’s individual photos, each photo will have a little diagonal arrow at top right corner.  Left click   on the arrow, then right click on top of the photo once it has expanded and choose “copy photo”.
 

Go back into our forum, and paste what you copied directly into the post window. Don’t use a link. 
 

It  will work to link to your Flickr account, but then you give up your anonymity and anyone following the link will know your real name. 

 Thanks Eve! I didn't see this till after I shot pics to Mara. But good to know for the future! 

Maybe I'll try to set one up this evening. Right now I'm trying to solve the myriad mysteries of pogie. 🙄

Send them to me over facebook messenger and I will reduce them and post them for you.

Really?  Sweet! Thank you Mara! ✋😊

I'd love to play, but my picture files are too big. 🙁 

These have been really neat to read Mara! What a cool thing to be able to do! I've enjoyed reading your interpretations and everyone's reactions to them. 😊

would you be able to do something  in tangerine, orange, citrus - but not sweet?

I agree with this. Specifically, something grapefruit scented would be wonderful.

 

Thank you so much for wanting our feedback!

These suggestions both made me think of Stealing Heaven with Open Windows. That was such a gorgeous citrusy scent. I'd wear the heck out of something like that.

@Eggers the discount is practically guaranteed with LFM! It is FASCINATING to me how it makes people want to shower you with gifts and such.

@tyvey I don't think I've ever experienced that effect with LFM. I get that weird swanny effect, where peeps stare at me a lot, and talk around me but rarely TO me. Maybe I just need to adjust my dosage up or down. I have time to experiment before I get an appointment. I'll try to remember to update as I do. 

I've often wondered if it was because most people seem to use the spray. I have the oil. But you used oil... 

🤔

I think about this “carpet swan” thing most times I wear LFM, and it happened quite dramatically today.  I went to see a celebrity hairstylist - had never been there before. Upon first meeting he was crabby, didn’t really make eye contact, and didn’t smile at all.  

 

As I got shampooed by someone else, I thought resentfully, “I’m gonna LFM this mf’er... that’ll show HIM.”  I had Bonflower on me so I put a dab on my forehead.  When I got back to his chair, in the mirror I saw his eyes widen as if he were suddenly getting alarming news - it was comical - in a comic strip it would have said over our heads, “AND THEN THE LFM HITS....” - and from that point on the LFM resulted in him asking me lots of personal questions, and telling ME all kinds of personal crap I didn’t want to know, including exactly where he LIVES, and sharing various personal concerns and motivations he has to an uncomfortable degree, and calling over every type of specialist present and basically making them pitch themselves to me and offer me their specialized services for FREE, and announcing that they would let me come in before or after regular salon hours so they could do their whatever, “ANYTIME, just call us, please call us,” and BEAMING at me at random as if I had just told him he had won the lottery.

 

AND I got free product, which I didn’t see offered to anyone else. 

Okay @tyvey , I have to have a haircut soon, from a woman whom I'm not entirely sure likes me, and you've got me wanting to douse myself in LFM, because I could really use this kind of LFM Hairstylist Magic. I don't want to know all her secrets, (I know too many already), I just really want her to REALLY care that my hair looks awesome when she's finished cutting it. She's quite pricey, too, so I wouldn't mind if LFM helped me out with a little discount, either.

I’m still finding my sweet spot with this one. My first time I used a little and noticed a very small shift.

 

I tried it today, and I just love the scent so much I put a lot more on than the first time. 

 

I felt very compelled to do something, but I just kept going in circles with my thoughts. 

I felt a bit like how if you have had to much coffee or similar. Sort of how I feel sometimes when my brain wakes up in the middle of the night and decides to be all focused, zero sleep happens usually until the next day.

Feels like overthinking. Help I’m a Virgo ha jk  

Felt like time went by so fast. 

Lots of thinking, but the get up and do things part I think went wonky. I think just used to much is all  

 

 I could also be being affected by another phero I put on earlier, but did my best to wash off. It soaked into my skin Legend/Charisma.

 

Next time will try an amount in the middle. 

Have you tried this again, @Chaos Angel ? I'm curious because overthinking and anxiety is definitely not something I want to induce in myself, but I really like the idea of this phero. I could use a little get-up-and-go, but I don't at all want a caffeine-like buzz. I just gave up most caffeine because too much makes me anxious - like, accelerated heart-rate and difficulty breathing anxious. So I'm wondering if you've figured out whether the reaction you had was actually due to over-application, or if you've had the same reaction using less? 

It doesn't seem like anyone else has had an anxious or over-caffeinated kind of reaction from this, but if you have, I wouldn't mind it if you weighed in, too. Thanks!  

What was in this blend? It was before my time, so I never got to try it but I like the sound of it.

All this Lace talk is making me feel like wearing it tonight. 😉

@starlitegirl As far as I know, it's always had Lace in it. 

@starlitegirl No problem! I'm happy to help. 😊 Happy shopping and testing!
