Marshmallow Apothecary By The Robin Collective. Medicinal marshmallows? Hell yeah.

From The Robin Collective: Herbal remedies for anything from common colds to a lack of libidinousness, all came in delicious marshmallow form tailored to you.

Mary Poppins, practically perfect au pair and healthcare pundit, comments “A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down” ...and that’s exactly the formula used here.

Part sugary pharmacy, part cosy lounge, the pop-up also featured a room filled with giant marshmallow pillows making it the ultimate haven to enjoy a cocktail and marshmallow combination in.

Selfridges are encouraging their customers to seek out moments of quiet this month, stepping away from the hustle and bustle of the busy department store to enjoy a few moments of peace in their ‘Silence Room’ and visit ‘The Quiet Shop’ – a minimalist space featuring a range of de-branded, limited editions. A refreshing concept, but more so than ‘brand silence’ I think it proves how much of an impact branding has, as most of the products (e.g. above) are instantly recognisable even without the names and logos.

Social Media, lesson the first: do not fire your whole social media team while they still have access to your Twitter account. It's just asking for trouble. Funny though.
