Tactical Laser Flashlight by WickedLite
This is the coolest light I have ever had a chance to play with. They sell it for camping, but have you ever watched Ghost Hunters or any of the other Ghost shows? This light is just like the green laser lights they use on TV. It has all kinds of beams you can use just by turning the head of the flashlight. If you take the top ring off the flashlight you have a single beam like a laser pointer. It actually does work for walking at night better then some flashlights. It is something you need to get used to at least for me. It is about 6 inch long and about as big around as a US nickle. It comes in a very nice padded plastic case with 4 push tab locks, inside the box you get the flashlight, the battery, the charger, and 2 keys. This baby locks. It is a push and hold button light, so you can lock it when not in use and the light will not come on until you unlock it, so the battery does not go dead inside your pocket, backpack, purse or where ever you choose to carry it. I love it!!

Smileto® Mini Triangle Wood Style Grain Thermometer Touch Sound Activated Desk LED Digital Alarm Clock by Smileto
I love this clock it is white with lime green numbers. It is just a very cute clock to me. I also have the brown one with red numbers, but I like this one even better. It is almost funky in its shape and coloring and I love funky. the clock also shows the temperature as well as having a 12 or 24 hour clock on it. It is a alarm clock also. This is like a touch lamp in respect to the numbers they are not showing, touch the clock and they light up. I am a very light sleeper and cannot deal with light in my room so this clock is perfect for my bedside, it only lights up when I want it to . It is a wooden clock in the shape of a triangle. I just love it. This would make a great gift also, if you can make yourself give it up.

Wooden Essential Oil Box - Holds 52 (5-15 ml) & 6 (10ml Roll-On) Essential Oil Bottles from Aroma Designs
I am in love with this beautiful box. It is unfinished so could be stained, painted, or decorated in any way you wish. It holds 52 bottles of essential oil up to 15 ml and 6 roll on bottle up to 10 ml. I have so many small bottles of essential oils it is hard to keep them all together, not anymore with this awesome box. It has pretty hinges on the back and a flip type hasp on the front. The only thing it is missing would be a handle for carrying it. This box is great for protecting your oils from light. Not all oils come in the amber bottles and the light can make them spoil quickly. This is very lightweight it only weighs about 3 pounds empty. My husband is staining and putting polyurethane on mine, with the poly I will be able to set my diffuser on top of the box and not have to worry about ruining it.

Vbiger Women's Wide Brim Fedora Jazz Hat (Blue) Offered by YoungKer
The picture has nothing on the actual color of this hat. The blue is extremely vibrant and beautiful and with the black hat band as an accent this hat is a knock out. I do wish it had not been folded up in the bag it is kind of crunched in places but it seems to be filling out. I sat it on a hat stand for a couple of day and it does look much better. I love this hat and cannot wait to get to wear it out. I have other hats bu Vbiger and I love them all. They are all very high quality hats and look exactly like they do in the pictures.

I*Lift Bio-Restorative Radiance Eye Essence, with Retinol, Phyto-peptides, Matrixyl 3000 & Caffeine, 0.5oz NEW Offered by ARGANIA
I have tried a few different eye creams in the past, Ok I have actually I've tried a lot of them. I have dark circles and sunken spots under my eyes. This one is my favorite. The bottle in itself is unique, it has a flat edge on top you squeeze the eye cream out and apply it with the tip of the bottle instead of putting it on your finger, You can use your finger to but the flat top works great and I can see better with it then using my finger to make sure I get none in my eye. This has a light cucumber scent, I am not a huge fan of cucumber but it goes away pretty much as soon as it dries, and the results are well worth the cumber smell for a minute or 2.
I have personally used other products offered by Argania, LLC, and I love them all. All of their products I have used have been very high quality and do what they say they will. This Eye Cream is no different, it does help with the the dark circles and the sunken and sometimes swollen look under my eyes. And the tip of the bottle is just genius.

About
the Book
Best way to tame a bad wolf? Be a
little wicked yourself…
Carmen finds it hard to trust—then
again, her father went mad and had to be put down by her current Alpha. Carmen
might hold a position of power within the pack, but part of her always wonders
if they could turn on her as quickly as they did him. When she finds a man who
she’s pretty sure the current Alpha failed on a lot of levels, she decides to take
matters into her own hands and prove Dara isn’t as perfect of an Alpha as
everyone thinks.
Seth lost his mate, but he
survived. He can’t stand to watch other wolves happily carrying on with their
lives and mates after he’d failed to protect his own. Dara allows him his
privacy and ensures that he survives, even if there are days when he wishes
otherwise. When one headstrong and opinionated she-wolf decides she’s going to
end the unique hell of his isolation, Seth has to make a choice…
Kick her butt to the curb or answer
the call to claim her. But can he dare claim another mate when he knows he
failed once to be the man his mate needed?

Excerpt:
The stink of
humans slathered in too much cologne and perfume competed with the smell of
open beers and possible promiscuity in a cloud of inevitable shame—at least to
Seth. He wasn’t sure why he still bothered to come down from his hill to visit
the dance hall, but it was a ritual he practiced on one specific night of every
year.
“Seth!” called
Alex Jewel. “Good to see you, man.”
Seth grunted and
nodded as he passed over the cover charge. “’Sup, buddy?”
“Not much. Haven’t
seen you in ages. How the hell have you been?”
With a shrug, Seth
headed past him and down the hall that led to the bar and dance floor. The
ritual must be completed exactly for him to feel satisfied, which meant one
beer on the outside patio, one inside, then he could go home.
Not that fulfilling
the pattern actually made him feel any better at the end of the day. Still...
He ordered the
first beer and headed outside with it. Few were out on the patio, but then
again that was typical, too, for this time of year. Only the really dedicated smokers
or secret lovers looking for a quiet dark spot would bother to brave the humid,
still summer air—filled with tiny and annoying biting bugs—to sit outside.
Watching a single
large-wing katydid perched on the fence helped him pass the time. He ignored
the humans with their clouds of smoke and lust. The katydid busily cleaned his
wings while Seth sipped the beer. It wasn’t as cold as he preferred, and he
never drank this brand any other time of the year, but that, too, was part of
the tradition.
Soon, his beer had
been emptied and the katydid had flown to do whatever important insect tasks
awaited him in the darkness.
Heading back
inside, Seth caught the scent of a wolf and scanned the dance floor to see if
he recognized whoever it might be.
He pinpointed the
direction of the aroma to be near the stage, which meant the smell must be
coming from one of two women dancing near the speakers. He couldn’t help the
half smile the sight brought him. One of the women wore silver leg braces, yet
danced with carefree abandon and a smile. Her movements might be restricted by
her obviously weak legs, yet her joy flowed as effervescent as anyone else’s in
the room, if not more. Next to her dark haired beauty, her dance partner looked
particularly mundane. The other woman had boy-short blonde hair and seemed just
as happy. Something about the pair caught his wolf’s attention, but he wasn’t
sure what other than the fact it was good to see an obviously crippled woman
having a good time with a friend.
Shrugging off the
oddity, he moved to the bar to order the second ritual beer. Once he had it in
hand, he headed for the small booth at the back of the dance hall as per
routine. From there, however, he broke the pattern a bit. Instead of staring at
the Elvis cut-out hanging on the wall below a clock with only fives—because it
was always five o’clock somewhere—he watched the girls dancing.
At one point, the
blonde went and got them both drinks, so they backed away from the dance floor
to cool off then went right back to dancing. His wolf stirred again, but he
disregarded it. But then the blonde looked in his direction, a flash of yellow
in her eyes. His wolf more than stirred at the glance, practically clawing him
from the inside. Unsettled, he stood to leave. He’d finished the beer and
therefore the dance hall portion of the ritual.
At the door,
someone caught his arm. “Hey, do I know you?”

Excerpt
Sandra King ran
through the forest terrified for her life. Her pack had just been ransacked by
a scourge of vampires. She’d witnessed the murder of so many, along with
several of her family.
I shouldn’t be
alive.
She had run while
listening to most of her pack being destroyed. They had been killed, but who
had been responsible for giving away their location? For as long as she could
remember, and even according to all the history books, wolves and vampires had
been at war with each other. She didn’t even know why, only that she had to
hate them. During her twenty-five years she’d never once met a vampire, or even
touched one.
Tonight, that was
all about to change. She kept on running, and when her lungs were about to
burst, she had no choice but to lean against the nearest tree trunk trying to
gather her senses.
Her heart was
pounding, and she couldn’t hear anything other than the howling of the wind.
This is what made vampires so deadly. They didn’t have a heartbeat, or a scent
to them, and this made them impossible to track.
Some romance
fiction talks of vampires and wolves having repulsive smells; it was a complete
lie. Vampires didn’t have anything. They were evil to the core, disgusting in
every single way. She’d just witnessed so many of them taking out her pack.
A twig snapped in
the distance, and Sandra turned toward the sound. Out of her whole pack she’d
always been the slowest. Where a lot of wolves had naturally slender bodies,
she didn’t. She’d always been plagued to be bigger than most of her pack. Her
own mother had put her on a diet to try and get her to slim down so she could
attract the right kind of man.
There was no man
for her, though. All of the guys had placed her in the friend column, or they
had not cared for her. One day she hoped to find a man who would love her for
her, and to start a family with him. She loved kids, and one day she would love
to have many children call her mother, and love them.
Staring up at the
sky, Sandra closed her eyes in the hope that whoever was out there didn’t find
her.
When she opened
her eyes again, she knew it was the biggest mistake she’d ever make. She’d let
her guard down, and now she was staring into the scariest eyes she’d ever seen.
His eyes were black, and reminded her a little of a shark just before it struck
its prey. Her heart pounded and for several seconds neither of them did
anything.
Suddenly, he
closed his eyes, and when she looked at him again his black eyes had changed to
brown, and he looked almost human. She opened her mouth about to scream, and he
sprung into action. He pressed his hand against her mouth, wrapping an arm
around her waist, and tugged her close so that her back was to him. At first, she
tried to fight but he was just too strong, keeping her locked into place.
“Don’t scream,
baby. You scream, they all come running, and I won’t be able to protect you.”
She was confused.
He was the one who was trying to kill her.
The man, whoever
he was, wrapped his entire body around her, placing his hand over her heart.
What the fuck was he doing?
“Be still, be
quiet, don’t make a sound,” he said, whispering the words against her ear.
Sandra couldn’t
believe the response he gained from her body. Heat spilled between her thighs,
and she had to fight her own need to reach out and touch him.
The vampire behind
her didn’t say anything. He didn’t respond even though he must have scented her
arousal to their closeness.
Couldn’t the
ground just open up and swallow her?
