Drink-spiking - The rules of staying safe
Do you ever leave your friends to get home on their own?
Do you sometimes slip away home without letting your friends know?
Would you ever skip grabbing a cab just to save some cash?
Ladies and gents,
We hate to lecture you, but the truth is, It has to be done. You would think that now we are in the year 2011, we would be a little more savvy in regards to safety and caution when on a night out but sadly it seems we are not.
Drink-spiking offences are growning in numbers and theft and rape is happening in every city as a result of this. We want to give you some tips on how to enjoy a safe night out whilst 'Looking gorgeous and staying Safe'. (Our company's trademark)
1. Never allow yourself or a friend leave and get a cab alone
2. Never leave your drink unattended while you dance or talk to somebody. This is the key! Make sure to finish it beforehand or purchase another if it was left.
3. Always carry a drink-spiking detector strip in your wallet or purse incase suspicion arises.
4. Limit your usual alcohol consumption if you find it can be too much.
5. Stick to softer alcohol drinks instead of things like shots and potent spirits which can take great effect on the body very quickly. Keep an alert mind.
6. Do not accept drinks from a stranger unless you stand beside them when they purchase it.
7. Keep an eye on everyone in the group and make sure nobody is acting in a strange manner. If someone is acting out of character, talk to them or take immediate action.
8. If your drink tastes or looks a bit funny, immediately test it. Most narcotics are odourless and tastless though so watch out for any powdery substance.
9. Always be aware of the people around you. Be alert to any lingering characters or people with over-eager behaviour.
10.Always make sure your cab has a hackney sign before getting in. More and more people are faking taxi licenses.
2 Love my Lips have launched the 'Stay Safe Campaign' which was set up to combat drink spiking. The damaging effects on women and even men, really frightened us and so we have taken action. We produce a cardboard strip which contains 2 square patches which tests for the main date rape tablets/substances.
They come free with our premium lip gloss which come in 5 shades.
Our concept is to give women and men the power to stay safe and in control.

Drink-spiking- Yes, It happens all the time!
Drink-spiking is one of those crimes that people seem to want to ignore and shy away from,
It has become a massive global threat and affects every country you can mention in some way.
The problem is particularly rife in South Africa and America but the smaller countries such as Switzerland and of course, the UK, are also on the receiving end.
There seems to be a lack of awareness about this frightening crime which is where '2 Love my Lips' steps in and helps.
Our company have launched the 'Stay Safe Campaign' which was set up to combat drink-spiking and also detect the problem before the damage is done.
Our very unique drink-spike detector strip can check for an array of the popular drugs used in drink-spiking such as Ketamine, Cocaine, Heroin and GHB.
Studies show that the main result of drink-spiking is rape.
Although men are often targeted, women seem to be the more likely victim.
Reports of sexual abuse, gang rape, theft and even death suggest the mental instability of these viscious perpetrators.
These people are an enormous threat to society and need to be prosecuted.
We recently discovered that although South Africa is heavily burdened with drink-spiking offences, there is no actual law against it. This really did disgust us to the core and so we eventually plan to change the law and put these criminals in their place.
Many cases all over the world go un-noticed due to many a reason. Some women have been too embaressed to speak up which we think is reason enough to raise all this awareness.
Why should we feel in any way ashamed to report such a disgusting crime?
To feel that helpless and frightened and think that it is something we must just get on with?
This attitude needs to be erased.
Lets give women, and men alike, the power to stay in control of mind and body.
This is a basic human right that is being savataged on a daily basis.
