No1 Rosemary Water… the new youth drink

The beginning of the Rosemary Water idea came for the following fact:

In the peaceful coastal hamlet of Acciaroli, Italy, villagers enjoy the good life – and they enjoy it for a while longer than the rest of us. More than one in ten residents make it up to (and well past) their hundredth birthdays, and without many of the problems that plague aging populations elsewhere around the globe.

Knowing this, the company investigated what ingredients the inhabitants use, and surpise… the villagers ate rosemary, and a lot of it.

Nice packaging combined with a great story –> successful start!

It always seems to be quite boring to explain to people how we really smell; I specifically mean the difference between the Ortho-nasal (through the nose) and the Retro-nasal (through the mouth) olfaction… Until The Right Cup came along!

Basically it’s a flavored cup that tricks the brain into thinking your plain water is flavored.

Here is the video that explains it all:

And of course there are multiple flavors to spice up your everyday!

This revolution will impact our eating habits for sure. Let’s keep an eye on it! Yours, Fran

Eating habits – let’s get healthy again!

A few days ago I’ve been at the Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven and i saw this inspiring concept of a young Dutch designer called Naomi Jansen, who wants to change the way of thinking in the healthcare sector.

She founded a company called Genees-Smakelijk based on the fact that industrial food makes 10% of our population sick. Our eating habits have more influence on our bodies than we might think.

Consequently, Naomi suggests that we should give patients pure natural ingredients that have a known effect on the health instead of giving chemical pills again.

Simple, but powerful approach! Well done! Yours, Fran

You probably know all about the discussions about a new world where medicinal Cannabis might be legal, or at least permitted, so it can be processed in food for medicinal purposes…

But it is award winning Madame Munchie who is really creating a new category of edibles. These products not only use local North California’s organic, but also medicinal and gluten-free ingredients.

Their focus is on providing wellness, relief and delicious smoke alternatives for their patients. This is a very interesting development, as the only edible alternative is the space cake so far…

I personally love the looks of the macarons! So cool! Yours, Fran

 

Cheesy stories…

I lately noticed a lot of dairy product claims on the beauty shelfs. Things you would not expect in your facial cream!

For instance, Tony Moly’s Wonder Cheese firming cream contains extracts from Gruyere & milk protein.

The Face Shop has launcheed a “Fresh Milk” cream.

Or how would you like oats on your skin? South Korean beauty care company Missha dared to do it!

Do you see what i mean? Yours, Fran

Smart wine dispenser – just what the Millennials need!!!

A new generation of internetconnected countertop devices is helping drinks consumers to explore their palates in the home.

The drinks industry is appealing to Millennials’ desire to learn about their palates using a combination of appenabled home drinks machines and bespoke delivery systems.
One such device, the Somm wine dispenser from Synek, offers a guiding hand for the growing number of enthusiastic, but uninitiated young wine drinkers. The machine reads the contents of each of the company’s proprietary wine silos and adjusts its aeration and temperature settings to suit. Over time the Somm creates a taste profile of its users and suggests what silos they should be ordering from the company’s online store in the future. Basically a personal sommelier!

I guess Millennials don’t want to be told that a wine is rated highly and therefore they should like it. They want to make their own experiences,right?!

Yours, Fran

NOA Relaxation has combined cutting-edge scientific research with millennia-old traditions. The result is a beverage that helps you cope with stress and maintain focus.

Inspired by Scandinavian nature, NOA Relaxation uses natural herbs, colours, and flavours. The drink contains green tea extract with 200 mg L-theanine plus other active ingredients.

“It helps you to reduce stress and sharpen your mental capability such as increased concentration and memory function. L-theanin stimulates alpha brain waves associated with a relaxed, but alert state of mind. NOA Relaxation also contains Melissa, which decreases stress and increases cognitive function”.

To be honest, I’m very much into the pictures! Looks amazing! Yours, Fran
