Meet the LICHIES!

Did you know that a quarter of the Dutch people have decided to stay at home this summer? For many that means: redecorating the house! That is why we thought we'd share these crazy good looking lamps in the shape of a Dutch canal belt with you. They are called LICHIES which is actually Dutch slang for 'Little lights' and they are by far the cutest thing that we have seen since the introduction of the seven Disney dwarfs. These nice lamps are inspired by 5 existing canal houses in the Netherlands. Hang a single light as an eye-catcher in your kids bedroom or link several together as an art piece in your home office.  And nice to know: you do not have to be a tech wizard to hang them, even we were capable of pulling this off.. Thanks to this easy videotutorial with toddler Florian!

Cheerio folks! Keep shining!

Our tip for Fathersday 2020

More than 10 years ago, Saint Basics went on a mission for 'cleaner underwear'. Not to make a profit, but to create nice Feelgood basics. You will feel it as soon as you touch their collection: these are the softest natural fabrics you have ever put your hands on. Made of eucalyptus, with a nice fit, anti-odor and without abrasive labels. About 95% more environmentally friendly then ordinary products and 100% free from pesticides, sweatshops, child labor and unfair trade. So with Saint Basics you put on clean underpants literally and figuratively every day! Like these beautiful boxers and shirts from Eucalyptus that you order online and receive in your mailbox. Do we think it is worth publishing for this summer, do you? Let us know.

Six Barrel Soda: be ready to get thirsty!

0 Comments

Read Now
 
Personally I'm a huge fan of Soda syrup. Usually the only thing I can offer my visitors is soda syrup or wine. And yes, I realize as I'm writing this might make me sound slightly problematic. The thing about syrup (or our so called 'ranja') is it's just so easy and you have a refreshing drink within two seconds. 

Unfortunately, the cheap supermarket syrups are full of sugar, preservatives and other chemicals. Also, the flavors are somewhat disappointing and unnatural. Of course, what else can you expect.

Luckily, the quality and choice is getting much better, and the hunt for tasty and healthier syrups will succeed. But Six Barrel Soda is just another story. All-natural, pure and simple but at the same time the most exciting flavors. 
I know, how excited can one get about soda syrup....

Weird soda 

Six Barrel Soda describe themselves as an independent company producing weird, handmade, all-natural soft drinks. Joseph and Mike are not afraid of experimenting and creating new, exciting flavors. You want to try something different? Go for the Celery Tonic, Rhubarb and Juniper or Spiced Kola.

Next to their permanently available syrups, Six Barrel makes seasonal flavors, and limited editions. These are just as surprising! Think blueberry & fennel, plum, rhubarb & juniper, feijoa, grapefruit & hops, pinot noir, pine & lemon peel, wild blackberry. 

Their product is made the old fashioned way: handmade in a kitchen, using real ingredients and without any preservatives. Personally, I love their design and the bottles it comes in. However, there is a reason for this choice of package: just like good beer the amber glass protects them from the sun and keeps them perfect.

Get creative 

The Kiwi business based in Wellington sells throughout New Zealand and Australia. Creative bars and restaurants have discovered them already, from non- alcoholic refreshments to spicing things up in cocktail bars. The options are endless!

Having my bottles waiting for me i
n the fridge, I'm experimenting myself. Hopefully this pure and exciting brand will cross the Dutch borders soon!

Stay tuned for more brands and products 

Every week, I'll share my new findings from New Zealand. From soda's to fashion. Any exciting, authentic brand I come across I'll share on this blog. In the meantime, follow me on Instagram for more adventures.

Fix & Fogg Peanut Butter Makers

1 Comment

Read Now
 

Tucked away in a little side street of Dixon Street, you'll see a small house with the only indication of goodness in making being a little flag saying 'Peanut Butter'. Following the smell of roasted peanuts and chocolate, you'll find there is no door to enter. But a friendly face opened the window. 'Can I help you? And oh, I just finished our Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter, it's still warm and a bit runny, but do you want to try some?'

​Am I in heaven???

​Quality and Consciousness

Made in Wellington, New Zealand Fix & Fogg Peanut Butter Makers are five friends that produce small batches of peanut butter. Their peanuts are the Runner hi-oleic variety from Queensland Australia, and they're extra dark roasted to bring out the full nutty flavour.  Hi-oleic means they have a high proportion of omega 9 (monounsaturated fat), which has been linked to reducing cardiovascular disease and lowering cholesterol.  

Fix & Fogg recycle their jars and are accredited  by Conscious Consumers for their commitment to food waste reduction.

Dig in
I couldn't resist but to get the Super Crunchy jar. It has been staring at me ever since, but I wanted to share the guilty pleasure of being the first to dig into a new jar with you. The super crunchy is super crunchy delicious!
​And btw, on their website and Instagram you'll find great photography! 


​More brands and products to come!

How I became a beer drinker. Not kidding you...

I'was never a beer lover, only in exceptional warm weather and ideal circumstances you'd see me drinking beer. I love the bitter sweet taste of great beer but not enough to say I'm a true beer lover. But this concept made me think about my own little assumptions against beer. So I decided to drink. I decided to start drinking BEER. And how greatly the inventors of this concept helped me in finding my honest opinions about the diversity of beer! 'Cause HOLY BEERS I never knew we have at least 400 Local brewery's in the Netherlands!  And that you can now, (from your couch) can taste them in your own tempo. Very important for an engineer like me, speed drinking makes me irritate the hell out of my fellow humans.
So Beer-Society offers you 8 new beers. Delivered to your doorstep. Every month. Great concept since there are so many unknown craft beers out there. The website tells you the beers are brewed with love and passion by independent microbreweries and I'm not kidding you: you can actually taste that! So are you a beer virgin too? Or a  beer lover pur sang? Join the movement :) Great gift also for the beerlovers around you the coming festive months.
​CHEERS!

Awarenessengineering is not just a term. it’s a  way of looking at the world. It means you’re curious and eager to find out what motivates people to share their stories with others. In our case we love translating great stories of products and ideas to effective communication and PR. This means we are always trendforecasting, wherever we are, to find new stories, research them and find new listeners.  We are always engineering, especially when we travel.  
Starting this month we will share our adventures with you through this blog hoping you will feel inspired by our  travels and references.
The first stories we will share will come from Australia and New Zealand,  so  stay tuned and get inspired.
