Crowd-favourite electrolyte brand took over Bondi Icebergs on a mission to rehydrate Aussies
But my best-kept secret has gained even more popularity since the brand took over the iconic Bondi Icebergs, on a mission to hydrate Aussies with a science-formulated, tasty electrolyte drink mix.
Liquid I.V is a powdered drink mix, available in four delicious flavours; l emon lime, strawberry, passionfruit, and tropical punch, designed to be mixed with water for on-the-go hydration.
Studies show that at least 70 per cent of Aussies are experiencing daily dehydration, so it's more important than ever to stock up on travel-friendly electrolytes for when you're on the move, working out or sweating excessively.
All flavours are available in 10 packs for $19.99 or 24 packs for just $39.99.
Always read the label and follow the directions for use.
As the 'Official Hydration Partner of Bondi Beach,' Liquid I.V took over Bondi Icebergs, shocking locals by emptying the pool to raise awareness of the number of Australians experiencing dehydration.
Visible cracks appeared in the pool floor, before they were dramatically rehydrated to demonstrate how important it is to stay hydrated for the 70 per cent of Aussies who are experiencing dehydration daily.
The takeover saw many popular faces, including international models Elle Ferguson and Jordan Barrett, Bernadette Sukkar (Body By Berner), Love Island Australia winner Em Miguel-Leigh.
'Last weekend, Liquid I.V. kept fans hydrated at the Fisher x Chris Lake Sydney Pop-up. This week, Liquid I.V. has drained Bondi Icebergs of all water, to spark conversations on the issue of dehydration amongst Aussies,' Harrison Power, Unilever Senior Brand Manager Health & Wellbeing Australia tells Best Picks.
'As Bondi Beach's Official Hydration Partner, Liquid I.V. has been strategically placed to keep the community hydrated, in moments when they need hydration most.'

UK pop star announces Aussie tour after two-year hiatus
Scottish singing sensation Lewis Capaldi has announced he'll be returning to Australian shores this December for his first national performances since 2020. Keeping a relatively low profile over last two years, the 28-year-old has returned to the scene with his new single Survive, complimenting his special appearance at Glastonbury Festival in late June. In true Capaldi style, the singer declared, 'My name's Lewis Capaldi and I'm f**king back, baby.' Lewis Capaldi will return to Australia in December. Credit: BANG - Entertainment News The star will travel to New Zealand in November, before touching down in Brisbane in early December where he will continue a string of singular performances in Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide, before playing his final tour show at Perth's RAC Arena on December 17. Aussies last saw Capaldi in action during Falls Festival in the summer of 2019/2020. Following his recent pause on live performances, the Before You Go singer returned to the stage in his home country as a guest of mental health charity CALM in celebration of Mental Health Awareness Week. The self-deprecating singer has historically proven he doesn't take himself too seriously, but in 2023 was forced to address his mental health concerns while on stage at Glastonbury as symptoms of his Tourette's Syndrome overcame him. 'I feel like I'll be taking another wee break over the next couple of weeks,' he told fans at the time. 'So you probably won't see much of me for the rest of year, maybe even. But when I do come back and when I do see you, I hope you're still up for watching us.' If you'd like to view this content, please adjust your .

Feel-good musical in Perth CBD celebrates NAIDOC Week
The musical Bran Nue Dae has been an inspirational influence on generations of Australians, so what better way to bring people together to celebrate 50 years of NAIDOC Week. Yagan Square's amphitheatre in the Perth CBD will transform on Thursday, July 10, for an open-air screening of the much-loved musical comedy. People can enjoy live performances of song, dance and story-telling from 5.30pm, before the film starts at 6.30pm. In conversation with Indigenous singer-songwriter Phil Walleystack, veteran actor Ernie Dingo will reflect on what the film has meant to him, to the community and to the legacy of Aboriginal story-telling. Two decades before the movie was made, Dingo also starred as Uncle Tadpole in the original stage production which took the nation by storm. Ernie Dingo ahead of NAIDOC Week Andrew Ritchie Credit: Andrew Ritchie / The West Australian 'There are a lot of songs that make you feel strong and good within yourself — the majority of songs in Bran Nue Dae are like that,' he said. 'It doesn't matter how you do NAIDOC Week provided it's an educational fun thing, and a fun way of learning can be through music and art.' Walleystack said the aim of the event was to celebrate Aboriginal Western Australia, and to provoke audience members to find out more of the real history behind the songs and stories in the production. 'It's bringing Indigenous people from all over WA together and showcasing that,' he said. 'Bran Nue Dae to me is the biggest film to come out of WA. 'We need to celebrate West Australian artists a lot more, and doing events like this is how we can do that.'

Matt Preston risks riling haters to name No.1 butter chicken
Don't miss out on the headlines from Lifestyle. Followed categories will be added to My News. It seemed such a simple assignment. Australia loves no other curry like it does butter chicken. It's the only curry to turn up regularly on lists of the country's most-cooked dishes. So why not go to India and eat the best butter chicken? It all started with my understanding – backed by extensive research – that butter chicken was invented as a way to sell last night's tandoori chicken that was now a little dried out. The orthodoxy (challenged by some) is that a young chef, Kundan Lal Jaggi, cooking in the Gora Bazaar in Peshawar had invented the dish. When Partition came in 1947, he and two mates from the restaurant, Kundan Lal Gujral and Thakur Das Mago, moved to Delhi and opened a restaurant, the Moti Mahal. Here this delicious smoky chicken in a sauce singing with tomato, yoghurt, garlic and butter became a hit. I tracked down what was purported to be an original recipe when little was used to spice the dish other than chilli and cumin. And that's where the problems started. You see, Indians take their butter chicken very seriously. An internet storm erupted when I said dried fenugreek leaves weren't used in the original recipe – hundreds posted that I was an idiot for even suggesting it. Some questioned the role of Peshawar in this epic culinary success. Butter chicken is a favourite for Australians - but in India, it's serious business. I was also berated when we had Saransh Goila on MasterChef back in the day – he'd done a pop-up with his butter chicken as part of the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival and I had the temerity to say I enjoyed it. Again with the angry emojis. The almost religious fervour butter chicken seems to inspire fuelled my desire to get to Delhi. I arrived to be told by my local expert that the Moti Mahal had been sold to new owners and was now a pale imitation of the original that created not just butter chicken but also the wonderfully rich lentil dish dahl makhani and the tandoori-roasted lamb chop barra kebab. The trouble was a massive legal stoush had erupted between descendants of two of the original partners at the Moti Mahal. They'd both started butter chicken businesses, Moti Mahal Delux and Daryaganj, and had turned to the Delhi High Court – and I'll simplify things here – to decide who had the right to claim their butter chicken was the original (the case drags on as far as I know). So I thought it'd be fun to taste both of the bitter butter chicken rivals on camera with my ol' mate Gary Mehigan and then ask viewers on Instagram to vote for which they liked best. An astonishing 26,439 people voted, but more amazing was that 23 per cent nominated a 'better' butter chicken. Two names were the most suggested: Havemore and Gulati. It was supposed to be simple – go to the place where butter chicken was invented and write about it. Now I had due diligence to do. Next time I was in India, the chef at the restaurant where I was doing a couple of dinners organised couriers to collect 10 of Delhi's most notable versions, including from Moti Mahal Delux (nice cardamom hit) and Daryaganj ('chunky, onions, traditional' are my notes). They were all pretty good – some sweeter, some more tomato forward. The smoky one the chef made was up the top along with the buttery version from Havemore. Gulati was recovering from a fire so it wasn't represented. Yes, this is a saga. India's greatest chef Sanjeev Kapoor described butter chicken to me as 'a restaurant dish' so I felt I needed to taste the favourites in situ. This search continued over the next year when I visited India four more times. Whenever I met someone from Delhi, I'd ask them for the best butter chicken. Gulati and Havemore almost always popped up. Conveniently, the two restaurants are no more than 20m apart in a small neon-lit market off the Pandara Road. On my next visit I went to Havemore and was blown away. Not just by the butter chicken but also the breads and the murgh malai (creamy marinated tandoori chicken that's gnarly at the edges from the oven's heat but still incredibly juicy). None of the six of us dining had ever had butter chicken as good. I ate at the renovated Gulati on my next visit and it too was wonderful – slightly sweeter and more tomatoey. It was too close to call with just the one visit to Havemore so I went back this April. How could I have predicted the looming disaster? Delhi was in the middle of the Navaratri festival when it's typical to adopt the sattvic diet. Meat and grains were off the menu so Havemore was only serving a vegetarian menu. No murgh malai. No garlic naan. No butter chicken. I was crestfallen. Does 15 months on this journey end here? Without the confirmation I crave? If this was a doco we'd cut to an ad break here – and you'd be left holding your breath at the drama of it all. The butter chicken at Havemore restaurant rates as Matt Preston's No.1. As I wandered back to the car one of the waiters rushed out to say they have another Havemore on the other side of the road in Bikaner House, an old mansion that's now a cultural centre. I was elated. The dining room was pumping and the bread and murgh malai were on the menu and as good as at its sister restaurant. And the butter chicken? With two mouthfuls it was confirmed. Even better. I can happily say the butter chicken at the Havemore on Pandara Road is the best I've ever tasted – and when the miffed fans of Gulati and the other great butter chicken versions of Delhi come at me I'll say, 'You do you! But I'm happiest eating the butter chicken at Havemore.' And, boy, will they come! Originally published as Matt Preston fires shot in bitter butter chicken battle
