OMG – The World’s First ANTI-ENERGY Drink….this is what my boyfriend would give me when he wants to relax! He’ll say “chill baby, have this” and VOILA, leaning back on the couch all mellowed out.Its carbonated Grape and Melatonin that goes great with Vodka!

From the Press Release: “From design to production, every aspect of this calming drink was inspired by today’s popular hip hop artists who embrace the much sought-after hip hop lifestyle that encourages people to capture a stress-free state of mind.”

“Turns out, this is a carbonated, grape-flavored beverage spiked with melatonin, valerian root and rose hips. Apparently it is “very, very popular in Houston,” and it’s sold throughout the south in liquor and convenience stores.”

“So, does it make you sleepy? I asked the publicist. Yes, and she hears it’s good with vodka. Oh, something that makes it more likely I’ll fall asleep while drinking? Excellent.”

I have just completed six months with my new company. I am really enjoying it, my boss is great, its close to home and all the other shiz is good too. It’s clear that the management care more about their employees at this place. 6 months in and I’ve already had a employee opinion survey! As I am approaching the time for a Performance Review, I started looking for tips and stuff to make a review go smooth and set forth a positive road for the future. I came across this and found it to be quite funny….

Also, Zune is super cool because they are going to be hosting parties with Vice magazine. As a devoted Vice fan, this rocks my socks off! Vice had a promotion with Solo Mobile once for the 100/100 Parties that were off the hook and craz-ay.

I should get my Zuney Tuney unit in about a week or so. Stay ‘tuned’ for updates!!

If you’d like to participate in this great opportunity or other great stuff from Matchstick let me know and i’ll pass on the details for you! xoxo

Here friends, is my video:

Chalottage has now been defined in the UrbanDictionary as the following:

Anzac Day is commemorated by Australia and New Zealand on 25 April every year to honour members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZACs) who fought at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I. Anzac Day is also celebrated in the Cook Islands, Niue, Samoa and Tonga.

This is the verse of the ode that is said during the minutes of silence on Anzac Day:

They shall grow not old,
As we that are left grow old,
Age shall not weary them,
Nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun,
And in the morning
We will remember them. Lest we Forget

The Sweet Stuff: ANZAC Biscuits are a snack food most commonly made from the primary ingredients of rolled oats, coconut, and maple syrup/golden syrup.

Being a Kiwi, as great as it is, I enjoyed that VICE featured NZ in their global trend report. However, with all the focus on cities around the world, they managed to put NZ, the COUNTRY, not a city such as Auckland or Wellington, or hell, Palmy either!!

Here’s what they said:
“It’s slightly disappointing that no one in this majestic land actually looks like Frodo or Xena. Yes, that is all most of us know about New Zealand. Oh, and Flight of the Conchords, which isn’t the funniest thing ever, but it’s a little bit funny once in awhile. Eagle Vs. Shark was pretty good too—like Napoleon Dynamite but with cute accents and kind of sadder. What other good movies were made in New Zealand? Oh yeah, Heavenly Creatures. That’s an old fave. So anyway, instead of mythical creatures and lesbian schoolgirls, what we have here is a bunch of young cool kids being cool in their cool clothes that, we are slowly coming to realize, are the same cool clothes as everywhere else in the world. Globalization blah blah blah. Nevertheless, New Zealanders look like a pretty good time. It’s like new rave never stretched its poisonous tentacles all the way over there or something. NZ girls are good at mix ’n’ match. High-end designer pieces (Yohji Yamamoto Y’s, Zambesi) are carefully thrown together with more “street” items and bits of vintage. (MY FAV!) A simple black-and-white outfit accented with a Chanel purse plus arm tattoos plus pink hair with long bangs plus Docs equals “Let’s do this.” And wait, is that a tattoo of the Little Mermaid on her arm? OK, fine, let’s fucking do this. Everything is black-and-white, and color only occurs in the context of a perfect plaid shirt, which is harder to find than you think. Again, the preppy look for boys is a big winner, with a nice, muted-color Comme des Garçons cardigan and other tried-and-true classics, while the more metrosexual types keep up the snazz with either a slick cyberpunk vibe or a hobo kind of look. (Actually, hey, the guy in the floppy felt hat here is almost approaching hobbit territory!) Finally, all boys have uniformly decided, “Fuck it, let’s carry tote bags, what the hey.”

FOURFONTAINE – THE LABEL

Fourfontaine is a New Zealand clothing label specializing in mainstream streetwear, underwear and kidswear. Fourfontaine began in 2003 as a part time business and hobby by then 18 year old Mark Hurley whilst completing his university degree. He wanted to create a brand that had the styling and quality of the high end boutique streetwear labels rarely seen in NZ, while offering them at an affordable price to the 16 – 28 year old target market.

Since the brand was created in the small summer town of Kerikeri, Bay of Islands (LOVE IT THERE!!!) four years ago, Fourfontaine has forged a very strong base of stockists with over 60 throughout the country. Fourfontaine also offers a comprehensive online store, shipping internationally, as well as a brand new flagship store located in the sort after location of Nuffield St, Newmarket.
