About HARIBO...and Butterfly Blue... :)

Let's talk about the most known sweets in the world: Haribo. The best gummy and jelly in the world has an unusual name, which has no meaning itself. However, nowadays, when you hear this name it sounds well-known for everyone.

The gummy-bears and the other sweets from this company got their name from their producer: Hans Riegel, who was born in Bonn, so the name's origin comes from the beginning of the words:
Hans Riegel, Bonn.
The famous brand has different slogans in many languages. In English it is Kids and grown-ups love it so – the happy world of Haribo, the original version in German means: Haribo makes children happy – and adults too. 
Haribo can't be translated into Roumanian or another languages, which makes it easy to remember but creates an advantage because it can't be associated with anything else... It has no connotations. This name makes the product unique.

I would create a perfume which I would call Butterfly Blue. First of all I explain why I chose the name: butterflies are free and fly on the wings of the wind and the color is blue like the sky which stands for simplicity. The order is very important, blue is the second word to intensify the importance of the color. The perfume would have a relaxing note, being in the same time attractive.

What did you do last summer?



Last summer I was in Germany for two months. It was the most wonderful experience I ever had.

I was in Vechta at a festival and I had fun there with my friends. I was fascinated by all the things that left me breathless. Of course, I wasn't in Germany to have fun. So I will tell you about what I worked there...
 
We were picking raspberries, strawberries, mulberries and plums. Sometimes we went weeding and hacking. They had different prices: a chest of raspberries was 2 €, one of strawberries was 1.8 € and a chest of mulberries had a price of 2.2 €. The plum harvest, weeding and hacking was paid by hours with 6.05 € an hour. I think that the most difficult was the strawberry picking because you had to knee for kilometers and it resulted serious back and knee pain. 
Although the work was hard, I loved living there. I was cooking in all my free time and I get used to live with my boyfriend. He always bought me flowers.


 We also visited Bremen twice and I had a pet: LongEar, my bunny. It was a summer that I will never forget!
