Life and Nature

This beautiful song form Mumford & Sons Lover of the Light tells me about life and nature. I love the song, the words and the instruments but I love the clip even more. It's about a blind man that goes out of his door and feels and smells nature. I just love it! It inspires me to see the world differently.



Drink water, Give water

We just open up the tap and we have water. That's not something everyone around the world can do. That's why Water For Water came up with the next concept. Water For Water is a bottled water company with 100% of profits going towards helping communities gain access to safe drinking water.


Water For Water's heart is for those in need, those who find themselves without access to safe drinking water for themselves and their families.           
Almost 1 billion people don't have access to safe drinking water and 3.575 million people, mostly children, die every year from water-related diseases. The statistics are high and the need is great but we believe that change is possible. 

Water For Water® is all about community
Water For Water's vision is to help sustain and empower communities in areas where they don't have access to clean water but we also want to gather and encourage individuals locally who want to see change through the sharing of information, events and of course the purchase of water !
Through the sale of 100% natural bottled spring water, Water For Water provides practical and financial assistance to communities who lack access to clean water. We do this by partnering with organisations on long-term sustainable water projects hat have a positive holistic impact on the community. This means not just quick fix solutions. We are not just about charity we are about helping people get access to an essential natural resource that will empower individuals, families and communities.          

The cold truth

Sunday morning I wake up. My head is still turning and I can't remember how many drinks I had that night before. Some nights you just keep drinking. How nice would it be if someone tells you that you are drinking to fast and that you have to take a break.



These alcohol aware Ice Cubes will help you trough the night. Green is your first drink, it means enjoy. Orange, means slow down. Red, means REALY slow down!!! 3 drinks in a half an hour and your Ice Cubes will warn a friend so he can slow you down. It will make you more aware of what you are drinking and you will thank these cubes on sunday mornings! Cheers!

Macaron Meisje

Food is no food anymore. People want and expect more from food. They want an experience. They really expect something more when they are on a party or festival.

Macarone Meisjes give food something more. They serve you macarones, a snack that is already a party. You can choose a taste and they make the macarone specialy for you. That's a experience. The Macarone Meisjes have some little sisters with them. You have the Pata Meisjes, Oester Meisjes, Sushi Meisjes, Champagne Meisjes, ect. Each girl for their own party!

Lost and found

I'm one of those people who always lose everything. My keys, my shoes, my bags, ect. Also my phone do I lose daily, but my phone I can call when I lose it. That's how I can find it back. But my keys and my shoes I can't call... How do I find them back. By searching. But I don't have the time for that...

The Stick N Find helps. It's a small sticker that you can put on your keys, shoes, bags, dog, cat or even boyfriend. It has a light and a navigation wich help you found your lost stuff. I will stick with it!

Lease a jeans

No money, but no jeans to put on.... What to do, what to do... Lease a jeans. Mud Jeans, made this concept not only to make clothes more affordable but also more sustainable. Creative with crisis. I love all those concepts that can be creative with the crisis and make these beautiful concepts.

Maddie On Things

The App that I love the most on my phone is Instagram. Not only to put on my own pictures, but I love to scroll trough the life of all different people that I'm following. Instagram gives you a look into the life from people all around the world. When I wake up it's the first thing that I do. Watch Instagram. There is one Instagrammer that I just truely love. He makes me happy with every picture he puts on Instagram. I love Maddie.

Maddie makes my day everyday! And I know that he not only makes my days but also the days from many more people around the world.

Free App!

What's for free these days? Nothing we think. But in these times of economic crisis we could use some free things. And also because we are Dutchies, we love free things. That's why the makers of the television program Rekenkamer, made the Gratis App.

Rekenkamer Gratis App

The Gratis App shows you all the free stuff that you can do in the place you are at that moment. And that are lots of things. Things you wouldn't think about. This App helps you. And the App itself is free also!

Travel lovestories

NS Hartkloppingen is a initiative from the Dutch railroad company NS. ĂŤ travel with NS everyday. Sometimes I'm staring out of the window and a cute boy takes place at the seat in front of me. One look and I know that it has to be a nice boy. But what can I do. I look out off the window again. I feel his eyes on my skin but I don't dare to look back. I look at him in the relection of the window. His eyes find mine in the window and my head turns red. Busted... He smiles and I smile back. He opens his mouth but he can't find words to say. The train stops... I have to go.... I get up and look at him for the last time and than he's gone. Shit, he was really cute... Stupid me... Will I ever see him again?





If this happens to you to, you can write your lovestory at NS Hartkloppingen. Maybe your lover reads it and you can find your love!

Street pong

What is more annoying than waiting. And we have to do it to much. Waiting in traffic, waiting at the dentist, waiting for the bus, waiting for a friend, waiting for a trafficlight... I can go on for a few more minutes. This funny concept will soften your waiting pain.

Streetpong is a easy game that you can play during the waiting for a trafficlight. It makes you happier instead of making you angry about the waiting. You play with the person that is waiting for the same trafficlight across the street. You play the game and when the game is over the trafficlight will turn green. You can cross the street and meet your playing partner. Fun to do!

Weather has never been cooler. Solar weather App is beautiful. It's something completely different than other weather App's like buienradar.

Weed Dating

We have seen Boer zoekt Vrouw. That was a big succes like always. We like to watch them struggle trough love. But it also feels good to see that those loveble farmers, who have no time and skills to find love, finally find love. Because it's difficult to find love when you're a farmer. You have to work all day and you can't leave your animals.

Weed Dating came with a solution. Working and dating at the same time. Weeding and Dating. Weed Dating. As simple as that. Don't take the farmer out off it's comfort zone. Don't put the farmer at a table with his date in a fancy restaurant. It will not work. Just let him weed and talk a bit. This is how an where his love will grow.

Awareness pizza

The heating and energy recycling company Vestforbrænding asked Anew to raise awareness among everyday citizens to reduce energy waste. Anew wanted to give their customers something in return for saving energy. Anew wanted to illustrate that saving energy has tangible benefits.



Anew opened a pizzeria where energy saved in the district heating grid was turned into hot pizza. Vest Pizza campaign was accompanied by a website that provided tips to saving energy to help people in the community reduce their usage and get more pizza. The Vest Pizza campaign not only increased environmental awareness, it also boosted the perception of Vestforbraending as an energy conscious company who has the best interest of its customers in mind.

ROOM for thought

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram ect. It's a way of documenting your life and share it with the whole world. But you only put the beautiful and nice pictures and things on it. So it's not really showing your life as it is.


With ROOM you make your own accidental diary. It's a App that every day, 365 a year, once a day, gives you 10 seconds time to make a picture. Just point and it clicks. Like this you make your own real photo diary. You can share them but you don't have to.

Let's make the world a better place

Many people see the world around us like it is. Trees are trees, buildings are buildings and streets are streets. Aakash Nihalani sees something diferrent when he looks at the world. He sees a big playground. With some simple, little stickers you can turn the world into a play en learn area.


1 window + 1 window = 2 windows. Learning mathematics on the street can be much more fun than learning out of a book. With just a few little stickers you can colour the world!

Gepest Maar Trots

Bullied but Proud. We see it happen far to much. Bullied kids, which feel so bad and scared that they kill themself. We read it in the papers and we see it on the news. Why we ask ourselfs. What can we do to help them?

We can make them see that they are not alone. That there are more people like them and we can help them see what they did to come over it. At Gepest Maar Trots you find stories of diferrent bullied people. Famous Dutch people but also random Dutch people can tell their stories here and everyone who wants can read their stories. Let's hope it will help our bullied kids! It's a good start!

Hupsake

Hupsake is not just a drink, is a mentality. Hupsake, that's the spirit! The Dutch do-spirit with the Japanees Sake. The drink is made for the optimists, the do-ers and the posivist. You can use it as a gift for someone special. In buisines or private. Give it to someone who can use a good and positive message.
Hupsake encourages people to follow their heart and dreams. It makes people move. That is something we can use in these times. It's a soft ricewine that you can enjoy with sushi or something like that.

They Draw & Cook

 Nate Padavick and Salli Swindell are a brother and sister design and illustration team. They love food and they love drawing. At a familie vacation the idea of They Draw & Cook was born.


There are so many cooking books with beautiful pictures of food, but most of them are full of words. They Draw & Cook have a different en more fun way. It's easy and fun to see and makes me happy.
You can search for a recipe with a special ingredient or just look for fun and inspiration. I love the creative way of drawing en giving recipes.

Generous Store


In these times of economic crisis we get creative with our money and the way we can "sell" our products. Money isn't important anymore, because it can disappear in a second. What's far more important than money is love and doing good things. The creators of Generous store share the same thoughts. Instead of asking money for their chocolat, they ask for a good deed. They want to see more generousity in the world.

So at the Generous store you don't pay with money but with a good deed. You can choose a good deed and pay with that. You login on Facebook and send a post to the person you will give the good deed to. With a little trust you get your chocolats and do the good deed later. That's a creative way of selling stuff.

Carpet of Life

What do you do with the wardrobe of your beloved mother when she passes way? All those memories. That soft and warm sweater you always loved on her and still smells like her. That beautiful dress that made her look so beautiful and sparkeling. You just can't trow them away. But what can you do with all those memories than?

Carpet of Life gives you an other option. The idea of Carpet of Life is based on traditional Maroccan carpets called Boucherouitte of Boucherwi. These carpets are made by most Maroccan families from Nomadic backgrounds. They can make carpets from almost everything. This is how the concept of Carpet of Life was born. You are able to co-create your own Carpet of Life with all the memories of your passed loved ones. So they are still around you!
