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

The war on sugar means the demise of sticky, gourmand fragrances in personal care also home care. New signals that bitter could be edging into popularity include the following examples:

In the US, Mountain Dew has launched a new variant called Black Label, which is “crafted with herbal bitters”.

Seedlip, a new sophisticated non-alcoholic beverage from the UK combines individually distilled barks, spices and citrus peels.

Hopwater from the US is a “refreshing all-natural craft soda with the aroma and pleasing bitterness of hops”.

The slogan of Hopwater “it’s a little bitter, just like us” says it all… Enjoy the week! Yours, Franziska

Welcome to the original Bon PuF

BON PUF! My favorite cotton candy creator from Los Angeles, California, brings delicious whimsy to any gathering with organic, all natural cotton candy – freshly made just for you! Putting a modern spin on things, they offer hand crafted signature flavors to delight and surprise peeps of all ages. The website already invites you to take a look around to see how to add some sweet magic to your next party or event.

Cloe, the founder, had a blast completely redefining what cotton candy can be, and creating Bon Puf original creations! “Using only organic cane sugar, all natural flavors and colors, and a few unexpected ingredients, we’ve put a truly modern spin on this classic treat.”

In line with this great marketing concept, Bon Puf also offers add-ons… such as sprinkles of edible glitter, stars, hearts, Pop Rocks, toppers like paper flowers, butterflies etc.

Importantly, Bon Puf offer service packages, where the nice girls come around with the card in order to offer cotton candy privately. Perfect for instance for children’s birthdays, tea parties, showers, corporate parties, birthday bashes etc. I could also imagine private tasting sessions 😉

This concept makes all my cotton candy dreams come true! Especially the vivid childhood memories of pink sugary clouds… Yours, Fran
