Halo. Vapour Company UK - Review



Hey Folks,  Michelle here and doing an e-juice review for a company out of the UK called e-cigarette direct,  Halo. Vapour Co.  They were nice enough to send me three bottles to review and an awesome tee, which you'll see below, for an honest review.  I tested these out on my 100w I stick, with a nautilus mini tank (which by the way offers incredible flavor).  So take a minute and read my opinion about these juices, while remembering taste is subjective.  In other words, what I love may not be your cup of tea!

So let's start off with my favorite of the three (which is probably a little biased on my end because I love coffee to begin with).  Halo. Coffee cream was a succulent blend of delicious coffee with a touch of Irish cream.  This blend was smooth, and to be honest simply delightful.  I could easily vape this over and over and lick my lips after.  A definite winner in my book, and one I'll add to my favorite vapes.  Trust me I'm pretty picky, and not many make it there.  You can pick up your bottle here:  http://www.ecigarettedirect.co.uk/coffee-cream-halo-uk-e-liquid

Second on the list was Halo. Crazy Custard.  Slightly sweet and I definitely got the light touch of cinnamon on exhale.  This is my type of custard and was creamy with just the right touch of spice. Simply a delight to vape, and another that I would definitely vape again.  You can purchase your own bottle:  http://www.ecigarettedirect.co.uk/crazy-custard-halo-uk-e-liquid

Passion Fruit from Halo.  Get ready to have your mouth pucker with an intense Grapefruit explosion laced with touch of sweetness.  I have to admit I wasn't ready for the 'in your face flavor' this ejuice offered and thought I wasn't going to enjoy it, but I did.  It's an experience I haven't really gotten before and if sour candy is your idea of a great vape, this one will be for you.  Just be prepared for some intense flavor because it's holy sin in your face flavor that isn't easy to get off your palate after vaping it.  They say passion fruit, but since I've never tasted passion fruit, I have to go with the flavor it reminds me of and that's grapefruit.  It reminds me of putting sugar sprinkles on top of a very sour grapefruit..  You can pick this bottle up here:  http://www.ecigarettedirect.co.uk/pure-passion-halo-uk-e-liquid


The Sexy Tee Halo. sent with their juices, which I must say I really like!

the Vapedom - Like Facebook for Vapers!




I'm hoping some of you remember my article about turning to vaping to stop smoking after my COPD diagnosis.  While Tears of Crimson will continue to remain a place for romance, occassionally I will post something here to help promote the community that saved my life.  I think the Vapedom warrants such a post.  This is a relatively new social media site for people that vape, or someone who might be interested in learning about harm reduction and vaping.  I truly hope you'll consider stopping in and checking it out.

Obviously the Vapedom is for adults only.  Seth Grainger's video above gives all the information about the site, and he also has a youtube channel you can follow for other reviews on vaping at: https://www.youtube.com/user/vwgreviewsdogs/featured  I will tell you the community there has many great features, and will continue to grow with viewer support.  

If you'd like to stop in and follow me there just visit this link:  https://www.thevapedom.com/-tearsofcrimson  Thanks so much for letting me share a little about the community that gave me a second change at breath!!

Our Little Secret - Ashelyn Drake



OUR LITTLE SECRET by Ashelyn Drake
- SYNOPSIS -
Becca Daniels needs a passing math grade…but what she wants is to spend more time with Toby Michaels. 

The only problem is Toby is her best friend’s twin, and Tori has a very firm “no dating the brother” policy. 

But Becca’s grade has hit rock bottom and she needs a tutor. It just so happens that Toby is a math genius and more than happy to help—lucky her! Working so closely with the handsome, popular Toby, Becca can’t hide her attraction, and it soon becomes obvious he feels the same way. 

Becca doesn’t want to lose her best friend, but she isn’t willing to give up Toby either. 

At first, sneaking around is fun, stealing kisses right under Tori’s nose. But things take an ugly turn when Toby’s ex-girlfriend Meredith catches them together. Meredith demands Toby take her back and restore her reputation, or she’ll tell Tori their secret. Do they dare tell Tori the truth? Or would that just make things worse? 

Surrounded by secrets and knee-deep in deception, something has to give… 

How far is Meredith willing to go to keep Toby and Becca apart? 

And how much is Becca willing to risk to keep… 
Our Little Secret?

My Journey into Advocacy - Stepping Out of Romance For a Moment

When something steps in and changes your life drastically, you find yourself surrounded with thoughts about that change.  For me, January 7, 2015 was that moment.  Being rushed to the Emergency Room unable to breathe, thinking that my life was about to end, I thought about all the life choices that led me to that point.  The one that completely altered my life course?  Smoking.  For 25 years I smoked two packs of cigarettes a day.  As someone who worked as a Respiratory Technician for seven years, I knew first hand the risks, but couldn't seem to make myself give up the habit.

Like most people I knew the risks after I became an adult, but turned a blind eye to the fact it could eventually kill me. Growing up as a teen in the 80's smoking was considered cool.  The majority of my friends who were fifteen and sixteen at the time smoked.  Ads like the ones below were common. (Obviously I don't own rights to any of these photos)

                     


My Diagnosis?  COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease).  What does it feel like to have a COPD flare up?  Imagine trying to breathe through a coffee stirring straw and you get the idea.  The first time I had one of these "flare ups" I thought I was dying.  I'd exacerbated liquid into my lungs and in my mind I was drowning.  To make matters worse I was driving down a deserted road at that time and knew without doubt no one would find me and my life would end on that road with no one coming by to save me.  Obviously I survived, but that was the beginning of a violent cycle that changed my life completely.

I thought that incident was a fluke, and that I'd simple choked on my drink.  Then a month later it happened again.  That incident was the one that sent me to the Emergency Room.  My blood pressure was obviously through the roof (something about thinking you're dying does that to a person) and it took a staff of great people in the hospital to finally get my breathing regulated.  I spent that night in the hospital and the next morning underwent pulmonary function testing.  Needless to say a life time of smoking had seriously damaged my lungs.

I made the decision that day to stop smoking.  There is no cure for COPD but with life changes it can be managed.  The hospital started me on nicotine patches, and for a day or so those worked but I seriously felt like I was losing the battle.  I've never done street drugs, but I'd heard enough stories about people that had tried to fight their battle with addiction that the withdrawal from smoking seemed just as bad.  Thankfully a friend I talked to on facebook told me about vaping.

I'd seen a local vape shop in my little town, but passed it by for a  year thinking it was a fluke.  When you're about to give up a battle to save your life, even a fluke was worth a try, so I stopped in.  At first the shop reminded me of those head shops I saw in Panama City when I visited, and it was a little comical to me.  I called up my facebook friend while in my brick and mortar and she talked the clerk through a setup that she believed would work for me.




Eleaf istick 20w with an Kangerteck Aerotank V2.  I paired that up with some ejuice called Cowboy that reminded me of the tobacco flavor I was using while smoking.  It's been almost 40 days and I haven't picked up a cigarette since.  In less than two weeks I stopped coughing *there was an adjustment time while my body got rid of all the chemicals I'd put in my lungs from smoking all those years*.  After one month?  I could breathe like a normal human being again.  All of that was positive, so why wasn't my physician encouraging other patients to try vaping instead of smoking?  Education about the positives of using e-cigs as an alternative.

This is where the advocacy comes in.  First, let me say that Big Tobacco doesn't want you to stop smoking.  It's not in their best interest, or your state's public health interest.  


Another question to ask yourself.  Why has the UK released reports that E-cigarettes are 95% less harmful than smoking and the US hasn't stepped on board to do the same?  Read the report for yourself here:  https://www.gov.uk/government/news/e-cigarettes-around-95-less-harmful-than-tobacco-estimates-landmark-review

"Emerging evidence suggests some of the highest successful quit rates are now seen among smokers who use an e-cigarette and also receive additional support from their local stop smoking services.

Professor Kevin Fenton, Director of Health and Wellbeing at Public Health England said:

Smoking remains England’s number one killer and the best thing a smoker can do is to quit completely, now and forever.

E-cigarettes are not completely risk-free but when compared to smoking, evidence shows they carry just a fraction of the harm. The problem is people increasingly think they are at least as harmful and this may be keeping millions of smokers from quitting. Local stop smoking services should look to support e-cigarette users in their journey to quitting completely."

2022 Update:  I am still cigarette free and my pulmonary function tests now show my lungs are as healthy as a non-smoker.  Vaping was my miracle cure and I'm still fighting for the rights of adults to have access to this modern miracle!

Amazon Top Five Kindle Romance Books This Morning

What's topping the charts on Amazon this morning?  Glad you asked.  This is how I start my day, so I decided to share with you.


Hollywood Dirt by Alessandra Torre 

Cole Masten. Abandoned by his superstar wife, Hollywood’s Perfect Husband is now Hollywood’s Sexiest Bachelor: partying hard and screwing even harder. Watch out Los Angeles, there's a new bad boy in town. 

Summer Jenkins. That’s me, a small town girl stuck in Quincy, Georgia. I cook some mean chicken and dumplins, can bluff a grown man out of his savings in poker, and was voted Most Friendly my senior year. 

We were from different worlds. Our lives shouldn’t have collided. But then Cole Masten read a book about my small town. And six months later, his jet landed on our dusty airstrip, and he brought Hollywood with him. 

From the start, I knew he was trouble. For our town. And for me. 

Sometimes, opposites just aren’t meant to attract.


Alpha's Darkling Bride: A Bad Boy Alpha Romance Kindle Edition

It was supposed to be a hot one-night fling...

Jess: 
Montana rancher Cade Derringer wants me naked and vulnerable. 

Screw that. 

The last thing I need is a dirty-talking, bad boy shifter crashing into my life. 

Especially the wolf pack alpha, who never lets me forget that the first time he saw me, I was stark-freaking-bare-assed. 
Trouble is, I can't seem to stop losing my clothes around him. 
But that doesn't mean I like him. 
Nor does it mean I’ll obey his sexy, arrogant orders… 
Even if I am forced to marry the jerk. 

Cade: 
I've got no damn use for a wife. 
Especially one with dark, mysterious secrets. 
I'm a hunter. Chicks like her are my natural prey. 
But Jess lights me up with mystic fire every time I nail her. 
If she thinks that means we're fated mates, forget it. 
I take what’s mine, but I don't believe in fairy tales. 



ScalingHer Dragon: BBW Paranormal Shape Shifter Romance by Milly Taiden
Paranormal Dating Agency Book 8 - STANDALONE

BBW Paranormal Shape Shifter Romance

Plus-size Rebecca is on a jaunt to another world. She had hopes of finding herself a nice, sweet shifter like her sister, but somehow she ended up attracted to the big, fiery dragon. A dragon who isn’t looking for love. If only he didn’t have eyes that made her want to take her panties off and a body that sent her hormones into a frenzy, life would be a lot easier.

Vikter Dragos is dying. His dragon couldn’t find a mate and he’s at the end of his time. He’s fighting the attraction for a sassy, curvy human, but it’s near impossible to stay away from her. If only she’d been his mate, everything would be smoother. He’s losing control of his dragon and his emotions. With Becca around, he didn’t know what to expect.

Becca’s in constant confusion over Vikter’s hot and cold attitude. One moment he’s kissing her like the world’s going to end, and the next he’s warning her away from getting attached. Figuring out how to scale this dragon might take more patience than she’s got. When competition arises and Vikter sees another wants Becca, he’ll face his feelings or risk losing her forever.


  Coachby Alexa Riley

Retiring from the NFL was the right decision, and at thirty years old, I've done things most people could only dream of. After all I've accomplished, coaching high school football should be easy...but when you've got a distraction in the form of a nerdy girl with curves, things can get complicated.

She's a student, she's barely legal, and she's my best friend’s daughter.

I didn't know what desire was until Megan. I had no idea obsession could drive someone insane, until I saw her. I wasn't prepared for the fact that once I laid eyes on Megan my life would really begin.

I have to have her, no matter what the cost. I have to breed her and bind her to me so tightly she can't ever get away. She'll be mine, even if I have to take her.

Warning: this book is ridiculous, over the top, completely unbelievable, and pretty much just about breeding the heroine. If you're okay with that, welcome to my dirty, dirty book! Just remember, I warned you.


 Devotedin Death by J. D. Robb
 
Eve Dallas tracks a couple whose passion is fueled by cold brutality in the newest crime thriller from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Obsession in Death and Festive in Death.

When Lieutenant Eve Dallas examines a body in a downtown Manhattan alleyway, the victim’s injuries are so extensive that she almost misses the clue. Carved into the skin is the shape of a heart—and initials inside reading E and D . . .

Ella-Loo and her boyfriend, Darryl, had been separated while Darryl was a guest of the state of Oklahoma, and now that his sentence has been served they don’t ever intend to part again. Ella-Loo’s got dreams. And Darryl believes there are better ways to achieve your dreams than working for them. So they hit the road, and when their car breaks down in Arkansas, they make plans to take someone else’s. Then things get messy and they wind up killing someone—an experience that stokes a fierce, wild desire in Ella-Loo. A desire for Darryl. And a desire to kill again.

As they cross state lines on their way to New York to find the life they think they deserve, they will leave a trail of evil behind them. But now they’ve landed in the jurisdiction of Lieutenant Dallas and her team at the New York Police and Security Department. And with her husband, Roarke, at her side, she has every intention of hunting them down and giving them what they truly deserve . . .

Slave (Finding Anna, Book 1)
***Book 1 of a 4 book series***


Stephan has lived the lifestyle of a Dominant for five years. After several rebellious teenage years, it gave him the stability and control he had been seeking after his parent’s death.

As president of a not-for-profit foundation, he knows what his future holds and what he wants out of life. All that changes when a simple lunch with his college friend and Mentor, Darren, leads him to buying a slave.

Then one night, the world she lived in came crashing down. Six months later with her husband dead and her friends gone, Elizabeth moves to the small town of Springfield, Ohio to start a new life where no one knows who she is or about her past.

Christopher Daniels enjoys the simplicity of his bachelor life. After his divorce three years ago, he swore off women. He has no desire to change that philosophy.

When Elizabeth Marshall moves into the apartment below his in the small Victorian house, she makes him reconsider the motto he’s lived by for the last three years: women are trouble. She is everything his ex-wife is not, and it doesn’t help that she is his fantasy come to life.

He is determined to resist her charms; however, when someone sends threatening messages to Elizabeth, he finds himself in the role of protector. Can he protect Elizabeth and still resist the pull she has on his body and his heart?


Wrenched: Istvan's Story (Truth & Lies Book 1)
EROTIC NOVELLA, MATURE TOPICS, GRAPHIC RAW SEX, Older Woman Younger Man OWYM. 18+ 

Istvan Marinko's personal relationship theory of "Women choose, Men get Chosen" is put to the test when he encounters Celeste, a sexy older woman who's starting anew. Istvan's never found his groove in the realm of women and social situations and now he's been chosen and pulled into the unsuspecting surge and sensuality of Celeste. Everything he believed is shattered. Now he has to chose when Celeste's past come crashing down on them. 

"Why was it so bad to want to taste, touch and explore the female flesh without having to commit to a relationship? It was too much for me, trying to guess how this movie called Celeste was going to play out. What I needed to know, was my ultimate out come. Stating up front sex is off the table, I deal. Anticipation is what kills me when I get green lights, then everything slams red. The film was almost over and I gently squeezed her thigh and whispered in her ear, “What are you doing here...with me?” I needed a hint, a clue, something from her, or I was going to put on my gentleman hat, wish her well and walk. She didn't change her expression or look away from the screen and I only heard her breathe one word softly which vanquished my internal frustrations and kept me in my seat. “Choosing.”


Found (Assassin's Revenge Book 1)

I have a mission. Kill the man who kidnapped me. Kill the guards who raped me. I have guns and knives and I’m not afraid to use them. Nothing will stop me.


Then I walk into a bar and I notice him. He is gorgeous. 

For four long years, my only response to anything sexual has been revulsion and fear. This time, it feels different.


I could use him. I want to use him. I could sleep with him and make a pleasurable memory as a counterpoint to the painful ones. I’m not a frightened young girl anymore. I’m a trained assassin, capable of killing him with my bare hands. 

This time, I’ll be in control.


He’s just supposed to be a distraction, this mysterious man in the bar that I have a one-night stand with. But I can't predict the secrets he is hiding... secrets that are about to intersect my world in painful, unanticipated, and dangerous ways.


Master for Tonight 
***This book is intended for an audience 18 years or older*** 

While feeding in the slums of the city, he is interrupted by a woman. Mesmerized, he extracts his fangs from his meal and follows her home. Instantly obsessed, he watches her nightly. Nights turn to months. His desire for her becomes overwhelming. Though fearing the wrath of a vicious Maker who turned him against his will, Julian decides to give Kate the most sensual night of her life, and then walk away. 

Kate Collins is an average woman in her late-30’s, plagued by panic attacks. Sent home by her boss at the shelter, she prepares to have a night of relaxation…until her doorbell rings. 

Julian Montfort is the most beautiful and masculine man she has ever seen. He exudes ‘maleness’ from his entire body—that certain quality some men have in their DNA that makes a woman recognize her femininity…her ‘womanness.’ That part of her that is soft, malleable, and made to accept him. Drawn to him despite his unconventional arrival, Kate must answer his question: “Can you allow yourself this indulgence? It’s just one night.” 

Deeply sensual, Master for Tonight is a contemporary vampire romance which goes beyond the burning physical attraction between Julian and Kate, telling a tale of two people drawn together under incomprehensible circumstances, and their fight to be together against all odds.

Now stop imagining and step onto the private oasis of pleasure named Fantasy Isle. What happened when Fantasy's Bar & Grill went native? A stimulating world of desire was born and you're personally invited to wet your feet in the first full-length adventure that started it all. 

What's your price? If someone offered you an opportunity to never worry about finances, and have everything in this life that had been denied before, would you still hold on to your morals and refuse? I always thought I would. But two million dollars is a hell of a big incentive! I considered myself a strong, independent woman, until the recession slammed me down face first. Had my situation been different I never would have considered taking his offer! 

Cade Stellan. Billionaire, and closet pervert. He liked to watch. And I'm not referring to sporting events! He wanted a woman that he could control and unfortunately, I'd caught his attention. I say unfortunately because as much as I wanted to deny him, the price he offered proved that I could be bought. Why a man like him had to pay for anything would never make sense, nor would why he had chosen a person like me to fulfill those needs.

Cherished

Luca Phillips dropped me to my knees with a promise … 

He was sexy and confident, absolutely brilliant and Luca wanted me. I was infatuated from the first conversation, wanting to be what he needed. For the first time in my life I understood what it meant to desire. All he demanded was my trust. I’d been broken by my past and doubted I could give that gift, no matter how badly I craved him. 

Luca’s world was dark when looking in from the outside, but the light in his eyes promised something more. Hope. Together we could change the downward spiral my life was taking. His words. 

Kneeling at his feet, handing over control, he asked one question. How far are you willing to go to be…. Cherished 



Tears of Crimson (Tears of Crimson New Orleans Vampire Bar Book 1)

Tears of Crimson, the New Orleans Vampire Bar contains adult situations, sexual content, and is not appropriate for minors. 

I was only fifteen the first time he found me. I say he found me because I hadn't been looking for him... yet there he was when I closed my eyes. When my mother was declared insane, the only person I had left in the world was Granny Louise. Even though she was good to me, I was a target for bullies, ones that were convinced that the apple never fell far from the tree. I was tired of my life, tired of a world that fostered such heartache and pain. 

Rafe changed things. 


He salvaged what was left of my will to live. Those six years became my lifeline. He opened my eyes to passion, shared a world with me that was so vivid that I could still hear his words in my ears, and the ghost of his touch on my skin when I woke up. 

Now that my world has seemingly fallen apart, the only place I can think of going is where my dreams took place- New Orleans. Rafe and I have walked those streets in my fantasies. Somehow, I feel like that's where I can find my salvation, my purpose. 


What frightens me is, now that I've stepped in Tears of Crimson, a part of me is starting to believe that some dreams are meant to be lived.
