Schlumpy Hits A Million!

Well in a small twist of fate, Schlumpy could quite possibly have been the cleanest participant at this year’s ACL festival. As Zilker park turned into literal mud bath, Schlumpy braved the weather and won the hearts of hundreds.  While the precise calculation is still being processed, it looks like Schlumpy hit an important milestone - 1 million bags pledged to keep off the street!

We are grateful to C3 Presents (of which Schlumpy has a HUGE crush) for including Schlumpy in the festivities and for keeping our planet millions of pounds lighter. Thanks to the amazing TKO team for their support and enthusiasm in helping Schlumpy achieve his rockstar status!

Stay tuned for pictures on our Facebook. In the meantime, check us out on the ACL Festival Blog. Rock on!

Schlumpy’s A Rock Star @ Lollapalooza

Recently Schlumpy and the billion bag pledge made a stop at Lollapalooza’s Green Street in Chicago. Not only did he and our amazing team brave the rain (thanks TKO), but he got some serious luv and made a HUGE impact. Check out Schlumpy in the Chicago Sun Times! To date Schlumpy has helped to keep 646,341 plastic bags off the street (and we’re not done calculating:-)

Check out all of Schlumpy’s new friends on our Facebook page and keep an eye out for Schlumpy at Austin City Limits Festival on October 2-4. Thanks to C3 Presents for this incredible opportunity to make a huge impact and for making Schlumpy such a rockstar!!

BlueAvocado Hearts Me!

It should come as no surprise that we have some SERIOUS crushes at BlueAvocado. Whether it is a good ole’ fashion brand crush like Method, or girl crush on our newest inspiration Michelle Obama, or even a business crush on our marketing partner TKO - they all have our hearts in one way or another. And of course our true love - Schlumpy! Let’s face it, we got a lot of love to give.

So when brainstorming how we could possibly share our love and gratitude with our friends, retail partners, and customers, we just had to be as overt as possible in expressing ourselves. So when our “BlueAvocado Hearts Me” buttons hit the street we were thrilled to see people wearing it with pride.  But what we quickly came to realize, is that people were mistaking our BlueAvocado logo for an eye. So what people are reading is “I Love Me.”

This was officially pointed out to me when I was wearing the button while picking up my morning coffee at my coffee crush spot LIFT, and the barista pointed out how he appreciated my healthy self-esteem.  And for a girl who has been reading books on affirmations and the art of manifesting pretty much since birth, this was an unintentional dream realized! It simply doesn’t get better than seeing some of our greatest fans walking around promoting their own self esteem.   And in a time when so many of us are having such tremendous expectations of ourselves, a little self-love (or BlueAvocado love), however you wish to view it, can’t be a bad thing.

So button or not, take a moment to look in the mirror, and say the words - I Love Me! Or not (we get it is awkward), but you gotta at least get a giggle (even for those who aren’t natural gigglers:-)

big BIG luv! paige
