Just to let you know, if you don’t already, True Blood is HBO’s hugely successful Vampire centric soap opera. Currently in its Fifth series, the show is one of the network’s flagship programmes.
And today I am introducing the limited edition V-MODA True Blood® MAKER Headphones…
But have you ever considered how honey can help your health and wellbeing?
The Active Honey Company specialises in products that aim to keep your skin fresh, supple and soothed – all with the help of that honey! The honey can be taken directly on a spoon, on toast, or added to cold drinks and food. Not only does it improve your skin but it also tastes fantastic! (Trust me, it’s scrumptious!)
The site has over 13.5 million tracks, therefore giving you plenty of choice, and offers them for a standard 79-99p. So far, same old story.
But Fairsharemusic is far from your standard music download site - in fact, it donates HALF of its net profits to a charity of your choice!
Whether it be the NSPCC or Amnesty International, this generous company will give them your charitable donation. Fantastic, isn’t it? Fairsharemusic refer to this as “Feelgood Downloading” and I have to agree. When I was buying songs with the knowledge that someone in need was receiving help, I felt brilliant for it.
While using the site I found it relatively easy to navigate and I managed to find everything I was looking for. Yes, it’s not as easy downloading from iTunes straight onto your iPod/iPhone, but it is worth the extra time just to know that you aren’t lining the pockets of multi-millionaires, but instead some of you dosh is going to charity.
So, unlike the world’s biggest music sites, such as iTunes and Napster, this site has charitable causes at its heart. One of the main reasons for using the site is its two-fold benefits for you you as a user; you get great tunes and you help someone who really needs it.

The Amour bracelet is made up of 20 red crystal spheres and finished with a silver heart shaped charm. Similar to the iconic Neptune design, the Amour bracelet shows off sparkling red crystals to perfection. The Tibetan cord runs through each sphere giving it that classic 1950’s look – I love it! This Amour bracelet (black cord) costs £169.
The Je’taimé bracelet has the trademark Tresor Paris Tibetan cord with a hand finished red heart shaped sphere. It looks simple, elegant, and I’m sure very striking on her wrist! This Je’taimé bracelet costs a more affordable £29.

A fine balance between a seductive rich dark chocolate and premium red wine delivers a splendid twist over regular wines of choice for this special occasion. With inviting aromas of black cherry and rich dark chocolate combined, these continue on the palate surrounded by hints of cocoa powder and soft vanilla.
Commenting on Chocolate Shop, Lewis Jones, Managing Director of D&D Wines International, said:
“Chocolate and red wine is a classic pairing, so our new chocolate infused red wine is a truly indulgent treat for chocolate lovers. We believe it will make a fantastic Valentine’s Day treat”.
As an alternative to serving at room temperature, try Chocolate Shop as a short drink over ice or as a refreshing long drink by adding to fresh orange juice.
Or if you’re cooking up a delicious meal to celebrate try our simple recipe for sumptuous Chocolate Shop Tiramisu for a truly seductive and indulgent experience.

250g mascarpone
3 tbsps icing sugar
5 tbsps Chocolate Shop wine

200ml cold strong coffee
4 sponge fingers
1 tbsp grated dark chocolate

The Etymotic HF3’s are understated, comfortable and perfect for the most demanding audio connoisseurs. Using noise isolation these earphones offer a high-end experience at a rather reasonable price of £134.95.
Comfort
One of the overriding perceptions that people have of in-earphones, is that they are uncomfortable – this is certainly NOT the case for the HF3’s, as their soft and flexible ear buds provide a superbly comfortable listening experience. Due to their malleable form, they sit snugly in the ear canal and lodge firmly in place, so you don’t have to worry about them falling out.
As I have larger and more cavernous ears, the large buds suited my needs just fine. However, if you’re not jug eared like me, then there are diddy ones for you to wrap your lug holes around. The provided ear bud shapes also vary just to make sure they suit your needs. Furthermore, Etyomotic offer a service that provides users with customisable earplugs – just to make sure you are comfortable! - http://www.etymotic.com/customfit/index.html
Sound
In terms of sound quality – the HF3’s score good marks, yet again! The speakers deliver crisp, sharp notes, which are a joy to listen to. The bass is relatively good for an in-ear headset, but sometimes suffers at higher volumes. But it has to be said, the audio quality is comparable to far more expensive headsets, if not better!
The greatest gift of all could possibly be giving someone their confidence back, or being able to help with a separation or bereavement.
Forget jumpers and jigsaws, the greatest gift of all could be therapy.
One such therapist who could really help a loved one who may be suffering is Susan Werthem (MBACP) of Mindflow Counselling.
As well as counselling people who suffer with anxiety, stress, relationship problems and anger, Susan is also an experienced bereavement therapist, who worked with victims, families and survivors of the London 7/7 bombings.
Giving someone their life back cannot be measured and Susan, a counsellor in Hertfordshire and London at Mindflow Counselling will listen in a non-judgemental way.
If you are worried about someone close, you should maybe think about suggesting a consultation. It could be the most important gift you have ever given.
