Some people balk at those who buybottled drinking water. Why, they ask, when you can get it right out of your kitchen faucet? Because, the people who buybottled drinking water say, we want to know what’s going into our bodies and you have no idea what’s in the water that comes from your tap. It’s true, have you ever done a test to see what’s in the water that’s coming out of your kitchen faucet? Have you ever looked at the water under a microscope. You might find it looks like a colony of sea monkeys floating in the glass you’re about to drink from.
Consider The Cost
However, when you consider that one bottle of bottled drinking water costs a dollar, then you could easily find yourself spending fifty dollars or more a month just on bottled water alone. That’s a lot of money consider that was probably your cable bill for the month. But when weighed with your cable bill, health outweighs HBO by a long shot.
buyingbottled drinking water doesn’t have to be that expensive. You can find great deals on six and twelve packs of bottled drinking water at your local supermarket. Lots of people buy it and the trend isn’t going away any time soon.
Another benefit of buyingbottled drinking water is that you’ll have plenty of water on hand in case of an emergency. You never know when you may not have clean water to drink. For instance, in Houston a few years back, the sewage plant had a backup of sewage into the drinking water supply. People were told not to drink from the faucets and to wash every glass and dish thoroughly. Emergencies happen and it’s good to always have clean, fresh drinking water on hand for you to drink in case water is not readily available from the tap.
Most people have no idea what’s in the water they drink but some don’t want to take the chance, so they’ll continue to spend their hard earned money on something they feel very strongly about: bottled drinking water.
Hips Shot Digest: The Eclectic of Hipster style (Part 1)
If you think you got the hipster figured out, think again, buddy! There are so many different kinds of hipster, I’m losing track of it myself. However, everything you need to know to guide yourself under the Williamsburg Bridge or wherever else, for that matter, is right here. Because you know, hipsters spread around really fast. As long as there’s wifi for free. Like someone says “hip is as American as Apple pie. We all want a taste”. Defining types of hipsters is more of a cross-sectional assessment of American culture. You can be a hipster jock, a hipster nerd, a hipster Muslim or a hipster Baptist—sometimes all of these at once (hopefully not…). The point is: there are almost as many types of hipsters as there are types of people which entail that there styles are divergent. So, without further ado, enter the parade of hips styles:
The Artificer For one thing in common: they were all enclaves of artists, among other things. In modern times, the Artiste is the hipster who lives and works in the bohemian art world. Whether singers, actors, painters, musicians, poets, filmmakers, or whatever…these guys have talent and are committed to aesthetic triumph. They are boho-peasant chic or rocker trash. Lots of jewelry and accessories, lots of color. natural fabrics and fibers. Sometimes splashes of androgyny (guys in heels or skirts, girls in wife-beaters, worker shirts or ties like unisex cloths) become evident. On the whole, they are very unique and innovative. The celebs of this style are Chlo? Sevigny, Sufjan Stevens, Joseph Arthur, Michael Pitt, Pete Doherty.
The Intrinsic The Intrinsic is someone who is a hipster strictly by circumstance. Maybe they went to a liberal artsschool. Education for them is important, as well social involvement and active participation in and appreciation of artistic endeavors. They have naturally good taste and have every right to be elitist or snobbish, but avoids this whenever possible. They are impeccable, respectable, and consummate trend-setters.
The Erudite A specific type of hipster whose identity is defined by the studious quality. They like art and fun, insofar as they understand the socio-cultural implications of it, of course. This is the girl with thick-rim glasses who drinks red tea and reads Adorno for fun. These guys are way into intelligence and the image that accompanies that persona. They tend to be independent but thrive in academic circles and reading/writing groups. We might see them in British intelligentsia couture. Most of them put on glasses (trendy, horn-rimmed most likely), clean earth tones, lots of blazers. Nothing flashy or too youthful but more student-friendly preppy alternative.
The Flower Child A kind of hipster who respects life of all kinds, believes that there is always a better option than to use violence (super socially conscious), and is usually pretty straight, and not very uptight. They love outdoor activities (climbing, hiking, cycling, ultimate frisbee, etc) and are generally active in earth-saving politics. They loveanything dumpster chic or third world imports. Low-end thrift stores (Salvation Army, Goodwill, etc) are the go-to, where plain plaid flannel shirts, Dickies and retro graphic tees are great finds.
The Newcomer They are found in large numbers in the sophomore classes of colleges, though sometimes freshmen at more hip-friendly campuses. The newcomer is fresh off of a former life of less-than status (that is, less than cool, less than stylish, more like the mainstream). Frequently they’ll attend a concert or movie that will instantly change them into a lifelong devotee. Very faddish, fickle, passionate, and irksome to many established hipsters. They are always trying new things, with many more misses than hits. Recycles current wardrobe in various new ways. Tries a lot of statement tees and vintage band shirts, though typically feels uncomfortable in them at first.
The Yuppie A young capitalism, college-educated adult who is employed in a well-paying profession and who lives and works in or near a large city (a young urban professional). These hipsters are city slickers extraordinaire and be enthusiastic with new technology. They are heavily caffeinated, overworked that let loose only as part of a regimented schedule. Though not as socially conscious as other hipsters, yuppies do voice opinions loudly, forcefully. They like lots of catalog and online shopping; no time for scouring store shelves. Dependable upscale department stores are the favorites of yuppies. Generally lots of black attire, suits, and fashionable sunglasses. Even the gymclothes are designer. They are very attentive to fashion “rules” and perfecting the right look for the right occasion.

If you’re looking to add some spice to an event or upcoming party, jello shots are your answer! Becoming more popular every year, jello shots aren’t a new addition to the drinking scene. The recipe actually dates back to 1862, but the edible drink has certainly reemerged. Jello shooters as they’re also commonly called are now sold at bars, found at frat get-togethers, and even handed out at weddings.
If you haven’t tried one of these tasty little pleasures, you’re missing out. Consisting mainly of three ingredients: water, gelatin, and normally vodka, it’s an easy treat to make. Of course, you can use other spirits such as rum and bourbon, but that’s up to you.
There’s a myriad of different ways to make these shooters, but we’re going to start with the fundamental vodka recipe that makes about 32 cups of alcohol infused gelatin love.
What You Need-
1- 6 oz box of gelatin. Jell-O is actually a brand name. Generic/store brands work just fine. Flavor is also an option. I prefer cherry, but it’s up to you and there’s no preparation difference between flavors.
2- cups of vodka. Again, the brand here is not important. Vodka is supposed to be tasteless, and more often than not, the “less expensive” is a great alternative to the “high dollar” top shelf brands. If you want to double the flavor of your shot, get the same flavored vodka as your gelatin, i.e., cherry vodka with cherry jello.
2-cups of water. I normally use filtered water because the tap water where I’m located is awful.
32- plastic jello shot cups. Size does matter. You want 2 oz cups with lids.
1- Large bowl for mixing
1- Large baking sheet or tray. We’re not baking anything. This is to put the cups on and easily place them in the refrigerator.
1- Ladle
Directions-
Boil the two cups of water in a teakettle or clean pot. Dump the powered gelatin into the mixing bowl and pour the boil water on top. Mix thoroughly until all powder is liquid. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Don’t try to speed up the process by placing it in the fridge unless you’re going to constantly check it. At room temperature add the vodka, stirring as you pour it in. Sprawl the 32 cups out on the tray. Begin pouring the vodka in each cup. I find it easiest to use a ladle to pour. Place the tray in the refrigerator and allow 5.5 – 6 hrs to set. Enjoy!
