Don’t stop me now!

MMW_STW

Don’t stop me now!

Say hello to everybody’s darling at the office: She is silky soft, 100% natural, discrete and subtle, all dolled up and shedding a most delicious scent of limes. Okay, we usually don’t get this excited about soap but we just can’t help ourselves this time. This little gem is made by the Hamburg based natural cosmetics company STOP THE WATER WHILE USING ME­ (our new client!). It’s vegan, all natural, completely biodegradable, free of artificial additives and any other nonsense and – above all – it leaves your hands squeaky clean, oh-so soft and smelling wonderfully fresh of organic Italian limes. Cucumber extract moisturizes, refreshes and soothes. Mild and natural surfactants help maintain the skin’s hydro-balance and lipid layer, preventing it from drying out, while gently cleansing and protecting it against impurities. The ALL NATURAL CUCUMBER LIME SOAP comes in practical bottle dispensers and is available in two sizes (200ml/ 9,90 EUR and 500ml for 19,90) on www.stop-the-water.com and in selected stores. It also comes in a Hand Kit with a matching Cucumber Lime Hand Balm (24,90 EUR). We’ve tried and tested the complete product range of shower gels, shampoos, conditioners and lip balms – we are in heaven! To top it all off, the clever claim on the packaging nonchalantly reminds us how easily we can be more sustainable on a day-to-day basis. Wanna try? We’re giving away one ALL NATURAL CUCUMBER LIME Hand Kit. So send an email titled ‚TO LIME OR NOT TO LIME‘ to hurra@muxmaeuschenwild.de and stay clean!

Out of Space

Out of Space

René Seppeur and Matthias Groo obviously had too much money. Or let’s say they didn’t have enough space for their money. Either way, the Students from Bayreuth have developed the smallest wallet ever: the Space Wallet. A wallet consisting of an elastic textile band and a leather compartment (there is a leatherette version for vegans) no bigger than a credit card but offering enough space for at least 15 of them plus a driver’s licence, bank notes, coins, receipts and scraps of paper. Say goodbye to bulging pockets! The smallest version for a slim 19,90 Euro holds up to 15 cheque cards, 20 bank notes and six coins. The larger 2.0 version for 29,90 Euro holds twice as much and has an extra compartment. Both come either with an elastic band or a press-stud fastening. The Franconian duo has already sold 10.000 pieces and that is just the tip of the iceberg – we’re thinking Space Wallet Kingdom… Kind of makes you wonder whether the two of them have travelled through space and time from a far way galaxy. But in the end, it doesn’t really matter – they’ve come in peace and brought us the best travel and festival accessory we’ve ever seen. We’re giving away 3 awesome 2.0 Push Space Wallets to the most unorganised among you. Send an email titled MESSAGE IN A POCKET to hurra@muxmaeuschenwild.de.

Can drinking really be a sin?

MMW_DrinkSyndikat

Can drinking really be a sin?

Yes it can! And it is! Especially when it concerns cheap and nasty booze with a very high alcohol content mixed with an extremely sweet flavour enhancer as could be seen widespread and frequently in the past years. Without rhyme or reason the “well intentioned shot” thus turns into a disgusting sticky mixture somewhere between “sex on the beach” and “barfing in the pub toilet”. YUCK. Exactly! Thanks to bar mixer’s heaven the desire for quality in the consumption of alcoholic beverages appears to be widely increasing in the recent past. Meaning that everywhere classy bars are popping up in the big cities and provide growing numbers of discerning costumers with a gourmet choice in spirits. There is the BRYK Bar in Rykestraße for example, or the Booze Bar in Friedrichshain. Cocktails are allowed a price and Gin Tonic is not any Gin Tonic, long live the Green Fairy and all her disciples! The crowning glory for the solitary connoisseur or for communal consumption at home is now available from the Drink Syndikat. Selected spirits including a harmonious flavoured mixing beverage in wonderful packaging will be delivered to your home when signing up for a Premium Cocktail subscription. The small labelled bottles with instructions for mixing incredibly great cocktails are très chic to look at and one is inclined to leave them just as they are and only take the lid of the box for an occasional peek. That of course would be foolish, and so one begins to carefully mix the components, wondering if this is chemistry or just pure magic. The result is extreme enjoyment instead of simple boozing. We do recommend membership in the Syndikat without any reservation. May you enjoy it just as much as we did. And by the way, whilst we are in champagne – beg your pardon – cocktail mood, we are giving away a XYZ Box to the especially thirsty ones among you. Send an email titled LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT to
hurra@muxmaeuschenwild.de.

Just follow the white rabbit…

MMW_Whiterabbit

Just follow the white rabbit…

We had to give it a try. A texting service to help you make the right choice – whether you’re looking for a special restaurant, an art opening or the hottest party, the White Rabbit will get you sorted. Apparently, these two guys sitting somewhere – so we were told – are true Berlin experts and will answer your request within 5 minutes. Challenge accepted! We texted: Which is the nicest lake for swimming, accessible by car and no further away from the city centre than 30 minutes? A few minutes later we got this message: “If easy access is a must, the Groß-Glienicker is our favourite lake. It has a huge lawn for sunbathing and there’s a Kaiser’s supermarket just around the corner for picnic-shopping.” Yes, the Groß-Glienicker really is one of the nicest lakes. And we did not only get name and address, we even got extra advice on top. And we were actually communicating in full sentences (spelling mistakes included) with a real person. How cool is that! The White Rabbit helped us out with a few more questions (thank you, STANDARD Pizza was amazing!) and we must say: we are impressed! So, give it a shot and text your way through the city. But please don’t get too obsessed … remember what happened to Joaquin Phoenix when he fell in love with Scarlett Johansson aka Siri in HER? Follow the white rabbit, but don’t fall down the hole!

Soda for your soul

mmw_selosoda

Soda for your soul

Imagine the perfect drink. It would be refreshing. It would quench your thirst and taste of something more – unlike anything else you’ve ever tried. Not to sweet, low-calorie and adding a little skip to your step. It would break the mould and have the potential to sustainably affect an entire industry. It would be organic, fair-trade and super-stylish. You get the idea, right? We’ve discovered exactly that drink! And since trying it, we virtually cannot exist without selosoda any longer. Sound’s dramatic? It is! „Selo“ is the Esperanto word (remember that hopelessly romantic idea of an international language?) for the shell of the coffee bean – the part that is left over after harvesting and is usually thrown away or at most used as a fertilizer, while the coffee bean follows the path of enjoyment. Hardly anyone knows that the entire variety of aromas and the most caffeine lie in the sundried shell of the coffee bean. So what if you could take advantage of this wonderful resource and increase the benefit of the coffee plant dramatically? This is how it is already being done: In some regions of Central America, farmers have started processing the coffee shells and the pulp of the coffee cherry. A warming tea called Cascara is made from them in parts of Bolivia and Panama. When Laura Zumbaum tried her first Cascara the fruity flavour and the sustainable processing of the coffee cherry immediately fascinated her. She came up with the idea of offering iced Cascara in bottles. Sparkling, refreshing and pure, simply as a long drink or in combination with other juices or fruits. BINGO! selosoda has virtually no calories, yet the same amount of natural caffeine as an espresso doppio and comes along all sparkling with a hint of citrus – and without any added sugars or flavours what so ever. Sweet and fruity notes of fresh oranges, wild honey and ripe melons mingle with the scent of mild tobacco. All raw materials are sourced from coffee farmer Graciano in Panama where they are organically grown and harvested by hand and then carefully sundried for 11 days. The shells and pulp are treated with just as much care as the coffee beans. The price Laura pays the farm therefore lies quite rightly just as high as the price of the very best coffee beans. selosoda is produced and bottled in a little family-run juice manufactory in Southern Germany. Soon, the cute little brown returnable bottles will be availabe in more and more shops throughout Germany and from today on, you can get them online, too: www.selosoda.com. Buy it, drink it, love it!

Très chic!

mmw_MarinetMarine.

Très chic!

We need fewer things. We need better things. And we really love the simple and beautiful maritime dufflebags by Marin et Marine. Each individual bag is hand crafted and unique. The upper part is made of natural canvas and complemented by a base either in muted or bright colours. Our current favourites are the Sac Marin Mint (79€) and the Marin Cuir Cognac, made in a little traditional leather manufactury in Berlin. Very simple, very chic! The stylish bags come with adjustable straps and are available in three different sizes. Wear them over your shoulder or even as a rucksack and keep your hands free for cycling, sipping cool drinks in the sun, holding hands etc, etc, etc. They’re perfect for any trip – whether you’re on your way to the office, the beach or your weekend getaway. These bags are super practical and offer plenty of space for all your stuff, they look great, were made to last and created locally with love and dedication. What more could we possibly ask for? Marin et Marine was founded by the twin sisters Valérie and Caroline. They both find inspiration staying with their family in France, and while travelling. What colour does summer have west of Paris, anyway? We’d say yellow! That’s why we’re giving away one beautiful Marin Sac Citron. So, if you’re in need of a new bag for your next trip simply write an email titled ‚AMOUR FOU‘ to hurra@muxmaeuschenwild.de. Here’s to Franco-German friendship!

Bissige Hunde

mmw_BissigeHunde

Vorsicht, bissige Hunde!

Okay, this is the first and probably only TV recommendation you’ll ever read from us. But it has its raison d’être. For one, our dear, dear friend Alex Eslam is part of the most beautiful couples cinematographic history has to offer (his girlfriend is the breathtaking Hanna Maria Heidrich, whom we introduced to you by interview a few issues ago). In addition to this, he is first and foremost an absolutely brilliant director. Not long ago, we visited the premier of his first feature film at the Kinosaal on Potsdamer Platz. “Bissige Hunde” (Dogs that bite) were in store – a nerve-wracking piece about a bank robbery in a small town, during which the investigating police officer suddenly realises that the surrounded bank robber is his own son, who has become caught up in a perfidious game himself. How far would we go to protect the ones we love? This is the question protagonist and audience keep asking themselves during these 90 minutes. The whole plot is orchestrated with such visual power, with an intensity so untypical for Germans in an artful combination of American gangster epic, Hellboy dialogues and Wes Anderson magic that it makes you ask yourself why the hell all other films “Made in Germany” don’t look exactly like this one. Dear “Tatort”-fans, please be strong now: this is what we expect from crime cinema in the year 2015 and if something like this is possible, then it is all we will want to see in the future. On July 4th, the flic is finally airing at 22.10 p.m. on the global channel SIXX. If you don’t know if you’ve already programmed this channel – this occasion is definitely worth the search. “Bissige Hunde” is opening a series called „Young Lions 7.1“, if once wasn’t enough you can enjoy the re-run at 3 a.m. We are mighty proud of Alex and his brilliant feature film debut. Enjoy!

Victoria!

Victoria!

So much has been said about this crazy cinematic roller coaster ride, the „coup of German cinema“, the „best film since Lola Rennt“. In one single 140-minute take the director Sebastian Schipper tells the story of the Spanish girl Victoria who meets four bad boys in a Berlin club and drifts through the city streets with them until the break of dawn. In the age of picture perfect and technically flawless Hollywood productions films are fantastic to look at but also decrease in intensity. Just imagine what a film like Boyhood would do with us, had it not been manipulated into a TV magazine aesthetic. Or how much actual horror would have been left in The Blair Witch Project without that shaky handheld camera? Film productions are compartmentalized projects with countless parties involved and too many responsible people focused on eliminating unforeseen occurrences. Under these circumstances we can barely imagine what it means to shoot an entire movie with just one camera – continuously, without one single cut. What if the lead actress forgets her lines at minute 139? You have to start all over again… It’s not like at the theater, where actors can quickly cover up mistakes with a smile or flippant remark directed at the audience. This approach is as radical as it is ingenious and its incredible success is well deserved. The proximity and immediacy of Schipper’s film has something rather magical to it. The film premiered at this year’s Berlinale and now is finally out for everyone to see. It’s playing at all our favourite Yorck Group cinemas such as the Passage and Delphi. GO. AND. SEE. IT.
