Mambo Sprouts Weblog

We kicked off Week 2 in the heart of Hollywood with demos at Whole Foods and Ralphs and we had numerous celebrity sightings as we drew in a crowd who all wanted their Mambo bags! As we headed west making stops at yoga studios and gyms we were so excited to have a day at the beach in Santa Monica! However, we were caught off guard by afternoon showers!

We spent a beautiful day in Santa Barbara where we hit the farmers market, art fair, and the I Madonari festival at the Mission. While in Santa Barbara we ran into a gentleman named Pete who was on his way to the Lightning in a Bottle music festival-he ran us down and said “I saw the Mambo van last year at Higher Ground in Burlington, Vermont-you guys are doing an awesome thing!” We were so excited to find out that Go Mambo! is connecting the dots across the country! We made sure to give him some Mambo bags to share at the festival and sent him on his way.

We wrapped up our week with a Memorial Day BBQ at the Whole Foods in Thousand Oaks. Although the weather cooled off this week, we’re just getting warmed up! Next week we’ll be in San Diego so keep your eyes peeled for the Mambo van making its way into your neighborhood!

Mambo mania has kicked off here in California!

As the weather reached record breaking temps in Southern California this week, Go Mambo was just getting warmed up in the valley with our first demo at Whole Foods in Northridge. We made our media rounds on Friday stopping by CBS studios, KTLA, and other Hollywood hot spots.

Over the weekend we headed back to the valley for the Whole Children Whole Planet event where the temperature reached the triple digits and our Go Mambo crew did their best to stay cool with organic air conditioning (aka ice water in spray bottles)!

We talked to many young parents about the wonderful kid friendly choices we have to offer in our Mambo bags but also let them know there are many treats for mom and dad too! While the heat wilted the fresh flowers on our table we kept our spirits and energy up by staying hydrated and looking forward to heading closer to the beach next week. We hope the ocean breeze will cool us off as we hit Santa Monica, Sherman Oaks, and Hollywood. Look out for the Mambo van making its way across LA!

We hope to catch you next week-please stop by one of demos for your very own Mambo bag!
