Born Ruffians - Part II
I've been listening to Born Ruffians since my last post about them, so pretty much nine days non stop now! What I like most about them is the fact that they mix drums, bass, electric guitar and like they say an almost unheard of combination, with bits of harmonium, piano and plenty of hootin and hollerin to create really cool and happy songs. I just love them!

In a black & white Paris, little dudes add some colour! Reulf is a brilliant project from University of Paris VIII, directed by Quentin Carnicelli, Charles Klipfel and Jean-François Jégo as part of their graduate program. Music by Robert Le Magnifique and Olivier Mellano.
ChariTea
ChariTea is a freshly brewed tea with natural additions of fruit, different from the ones we already have on the market today, made from extracts.
The best part of this product is that a percentage of the profit goes to farmers in South America.
I'm impressed by the packaging which was created by the Swedish design agency BVD.
ChariTea is manufactured by German company LemonAid Beverages GmbH and it will be available all over Europe soon.
