Bloody More Water.......

'Another Bloody Water' I hear you say? Don't we have enough bottled water on the market as it is? Evian, San Pellegrino, Mount Franklin and even the AUD$3.50 Fiji water. Yes you heard it right. Over $3 for a bottle of water, plain H2O.

It is true that each brand has it's own special features, but at the end of the day isn't it all about the marketing, design, shape of the bottle and taste? Well with the market filling to the brim with bottled water, 'Another Bloody Water' has a quirky twist on it's bottles. It is a clear, minimalistic, clean designed bottle with graphics that portrays humour, banter, honest and refreshing information about what they are and who they are.

'Another Bloody Water', it's refreshing and witty.

Rub the tummy.

Lucky Beer

Let's talk about the bottle, this jade coloured glass beer bottle has an image of a buddha on it. The purpose of that is to bring out the happiness and the luck to everyone who drinks it, as the buddha is about purity and always being honest, that's why the buddha always has the big broad smile on his face.

And of cos, it's Australian owned and brewed, a very zen boutique beer.

Not to mention, the Shielding balm with SPF 15 and with 5 colours to choose from, is one of the most popular beauty products used by artist behind the fashion scene.

I'm a lip balm gloss fanatic so take the plunge, you will love it.

Living in the tubes?
