With Halloween around the corner,
we all start getting excited about dressing up in spooky costumes, embellishing
homes with creepy decorations, and carving out jack-o-lanterns. Besides all these exciting
things you should not forget to stock up on sweets for the popular Halloween
custom of trick-or-treating. Not sure what sweets to buy? Well, you can’t
go wrong with purchasing M&M’s as out of all sweet brands out
there, it's one of the most desired by trick-or-treaters.
Earlier this year, the brand marked its 75th anniversary. Consumers are currently able to purchase M&M’s in more than 100 countries. Therefore,
it comes to no surprise that every 8 hours 2 billion colourful button-shaped
chocolate sweets are being produced in the New Jersey factory. Furthermore, every
October the brand surprises its consumers by putting a great deal of effort
into designing Halloween-themed packaging.
The M&M’s tagline ‘Melts in
your mouth, not in your hand’ is the fourth most recalled one in the world,
according to the study conducted in 2014. Over the years, M&M’s has
released a number of humorous TV commercials, which are sure to evoke your
Halloween spirit!
Autumn is the best time for us to start thinking about our health and prevent all those coughs, sniffs and sneezes that start attacking us on the chilly days of October. The best way to do so is by boosting the immune system, and the UK’s largest health food retailer Holland & Barrett is a one-stop location to stock up on any health foods and supplements you might need.
Their tagline ‘The Good Life’ represents the mission of the brand in pursuit of health and happiness. The good life can mean different things for everyone but we all agree that health is the main element of a happy life. To inspire us to live a healthy life, Holland and Barrett promotes various wellbeing, fitness and healthy eating tips on their website.
Lately the brand has been focusing on the importance of a good night’s sleep for our happiness. Holland & Barrett developed 6 sleeping personas and customers can take an online quiz to find out which of the 6 sleeping personas are they: the late night browser, the ridiculously early riser, the slumber interrupter, the caffeinator, the daytime dozer or the biggest snoozer. After taking the test, users can read more about the products that can help them get a good night sleep.
Today you

120g chopped
walnuts
440g plain
flour
400g dark
brown soft sugar
100g caster
sugar
2 teaspoons
bicarbonate of soda
1 teaspoon

Method
Preheat oven

Spread
walnuts in a single layer on an ungreased baking tray. Toast in the preheated
oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Set aside to cool.
In a large
bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, caster sugar, bicarb, salt, nutmeg
and cinnamon. Add the pumpkin puree, oil and coconut milk, and mix until all of
the flour is absorbed. Fold in the desiccated coconut and toasted walnuts.
Divide the cake mixture evenly between the prepared tins.
Bake for 1
hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a skewer inserted in the
centre comes out clean. Remove from the oven, and cover loaves tightly with foil.
Allow to steam for 10 minutes. Remove foil, and turn out onto a cooling rack.
Tent loosely with the foil, and allow to cool completely.
Crisp October mornings and grey sky afternoons make many of
us feel like summer was just a mirage. But Thomson – one of the most popular travel
providers in the UK – invites us to ‘Discover your Smile’ at one of their dream
holiday destinations.
This slogan adds the meaning behind the smile logo of TUI,
which is a parent company of Thomson, and reflects what the brand stands for – a
promise of unforgettable experience that brings back the best version of you
and puts the smile on your face.
All communication activity done by Thomson is beautifully executed
and the look of all those wonderful beaches, mouth-watering food and fancy
cruise ships powerful enough to put the smile on your face.
Thomson TV ads tell stories of a well-loved bear named Miles who
has been eternally ground down by everyday life but the smile re-appears on his
face after the Thomson Dreamliner takes him to the breath-taking places with
plenty of sunshine, white sand and clear turquoise waters.
So beat the autumn blues by planning your next perfect sunny
getaway and discover your smile!
