Alcohol Killer


Alcohol Killer – A new drink on the market (from Austria) that claims to beat the side effects of alcohol. They encourage people to make it the last drink of the night before going to bed and then again in the morning if needed.
Not only does it claim that it reduces hang over affects such as nausea vomiting, headache and all the other glamorous things that we experience after having a great night it also claims to reduce blood alcohol content (BAC). Interestingly the drink is currently being investigated by NZ Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries to see if the drink complies with food legislation requirements (Stuff, 2012).

Eww
I wouldn’t have bought it to try it but was able to get a free sample from a promotion they did at a public event. I did notice that a lot of people who had seen the stand were understandably very suspicious and were warning people that it might be dodgy. Anyway, everyone in my work group (not drinking, just curious) tried the drink (on the basis that there was nothing sus in the ingredients list – just water and vitamins) and agreed it tasted ‘fine’. I opened my can a few days late and it smelt like cigarettes which really put me off, took a small sip and it was disgusting…tasted like cigarettes and lemon…eww - tipped it down the sink.

Will never have again!

How to sew a clasp to a medal

The medals didn't come with information on how to attach the medals only how far apart to place them. They miniature medal is obviously just through the eyelet and around the edge (see 1st sketch bellow) but the large medal has two eyelets which could be sewn through just the eyelets (left side of 2nd sketch) and not around the edge or around the edge (right side of 2nd sketch). I only suggest it could have been around the edges because then the mini an full would look the same. Did some research and based on the pictures that I could find (note: mainly British medals) the stitch on the full medal goes only between the two eyelets.   What you will need: - medals and clasps (obviously) - measurements (should comes with medal) - thread matching the ribbon (in this case green and not gold...also obvious) - needle and needle threader - scissors - ruler  Measure the distances according to the information provided with the medal. This is the mini...

NEW - Jagermeister premix cans

For all those Jager lovers out there it now comes in a premixed can!!! Raw is Jagermeister and Pulse (energy drink) tastes exactly like a Jager-bomb that has exploded. Ginger Lime is Raw with a bit of extra flavour. It reminded me of a Smirnoff Mule, so if you like Mule and you like Jager this is the ideal drink. Each can is 1.7 Australian Standard Drinks and 6.5% alcohol. I paid $5.50 a can, which is pretty expensive (Aussie premix drink tax didn't help) but I was excited to check them out. Bottoms up!   Other drinks reviews: Summer Ginger Beer, Broo, Cheeky Rascal, Rubi Rolla Cruizer & WKD Iron Brew St Peter's Ruby Red Ale, Young's Double Chocolate Stout & Newcastle Brown Ale

New Elna - Elina 21 - Sewing Machine

Got my first sewing machine for Christmas from my Mum and Dad. Super excited about it because I've always enjoyed sewing since high school home-ec classes and doing a little bit of costume making at home, and have a few things to do that require a sewing machine. Elna Elina 21 has got all the basic stitches and settings that I'll need and comes with a zipper and button foot. Had a flick through the menu with Bede and did a practice of all the stitches to see what they looked like and also to test the tension. Very please with the machine and I'm about to start a proper project on it, Free Frilly Apron Pattern , which can be followed from this link . Got extra bobbins that fit this machine from Ebay . They were super cheap ($6.80 for 25) and came in a bobbin case which was great. And you can get the same ones in rainbow colours which was really cool.
