‘orange – orange so good they named it twice!’ and ‘turn

get lots of kissing on my holiday!

like an angel fish!

hi cilla, my names beth and I’m from London (fake applause please)

beth: i’m secretly addicted to e news! (channel 151 on your sky box) I can watch it for hours/days. has to be when no one else is in though…. 
what do you love about spreading the glac??au love? 
ruth: first + foremost because it’s a lot of fun… the amazing team we have working with us, the different events that we get involved with and because i can come to work wearing a multi coloured skeleton suit should i wish to.

what’s your favourite saying/team motto? 
ruth: BOOM. 
beth: BOOM! 
what flavour would you be for a day and why ?

where’s your favourite place to spread the glac??au love?

and one more for luck…. if you were an animal what would you be and why? 
ruth: a unicorn 
beth: a panda. I have a strange obsession with them – absolutely no idea why. although i should probably say a poodle, seeing as i’m dressed like one in this pic – again. no idea why!

festival season is upon us. okay, i know it’s only march, but bloc weekend kicks off this friday, essentially heralding the beginning of the uk festival season. 
bloc weekend is an independent festival, featuring a wide variety of genres. electro, breakbeat, drum and bass, hip hop and techno are just a few sounds on offer!
this year the headliners are salt n pepa (yes, you read that right) and grandmaster flash. also in the line up are ms dynamite, wiley, joker, roots manuva and flying lotus. this year they have also added a fancy dress element, so expect a lot of people dressed in wedding themed clothes on sunday!
the bristol v-team will actually be at the festival handing out some free vitamin water to partygoers, so if you spot them, do say hello! you can also follow their progress at the festival through their twitter stream. if you aren’t lucky enough to be going, why not pop on this bloc weekend playlist, grab a bottle of vitamin water and pretend you are there…

what’s your name
and where do you come from? (cilla style)

sofi / sofi donuts / sofi vitaminwater.
well, i come from the cornwall (the beautiful part of cornwall where all the
beaches are) but i’ve lived in bristol for 7 years, the home of massive attack
and the best parties around.

describe yourself
in 3 words

small, colourful, getsh*tdone.

who
else is on the your team?

terry turbo – she is little + fierce! don’t
mess!

andy – he loves lily allen (and all the
ladies for that matter)

dejay – singer / musician extraordinaire
from the us of a


tell us something that no one else knows
about you?

i’m addicted to pasta, i get withdrawal
symptoms if i don’t eat it…but i’m pretty sure that some people already know
this. if i could eat 3 meals of pasta a day, i would.

what do you love
about spreading the glaceau love?

travelling, meeting new people, spending
the summer in the sun at festivals and events. plus, it’s always nice to give
people a little cheer in the form of a complimentary bottle of vitaminwater.
must admit I spend a lot of my time setting myself challenges…i always need
something big to work towards. it’s fun conquering the nation! this is weird
but I actually like spreadsheets…makes me feel organised (need one of those I
heart spreadsheet mugs, any buyers?)

what’s your favourite saying/team motto?

we don’t really have one, though did call
ourselves ‘team apprentice’ for a while, we were at an event and there was a
lot of planning / team talk going on…it was like we were on the apprentice (but
we are way better than anyone on that show, of course). sometimes i call um
team turbo, but that was sooo last year.

what
flavour would you be for a day and why
?

spark! no contest! spark helps me get
motivated in the morning if I’m tired and need to focus, it’s also the
brightest of the bunch and the most energetic. focus is nice cos it’s in a
pretty bottle (neon pink) and tastes delicious (strawberry and kiwi)…but we don’t
have it right now.

where’s your favourite place to spread the glaceau love?

festivals! when people are dying of thirst
in the sun and we give them a bottle of vitaminwater, their lovely little
cherub faces light up! our area’s at festies are obviously the place to be…bestival
being an especially good one, we had tipis, a gypsy wagon and bitch n stitch
giving people fantastical glitter makeovers (and inflatable dolls dressed as
wizards…magical).


and one more for luck…. if you were an animal what would you be and why?

i’d always thought i’d quite like to be a
horse (probably a pony cos I’m small). they are powerful, they live outside and
can run away from people if they don’t wanna be caught…they can jump super
high, rich people have them, they get nice stables to live in and coats for the
winter…they get pampered and dressed up for shows and actually if they got paid
for all the work they did, they would probably be super well off (olympics,
showjumping, racing etc). plus, they are pretty hard…I wouldn’t be messing with
a horse.

vitamin water
as the backstreet boys once sang, “omg,�� we’re back again“. yes oh yes we are and this time we are introducing you to another member of the london team. so please be seated as we introduce you to….. ludwika grochowska, glac��au vitaminwater london team���s hydrology queen.
what���s you���re name and where do you come from?
my real name is ludwika grochowska. alias ludi, and i am from a beautiful country in eastern europe – poland – the land of poles.

what do you love to do when you are not hydrating these fine peeps of london?

apart from chasing all sorts of design sales around london, i really enjoy spending quality time with my friends, going out, eating nice food, drinking nice booze and dancing dancing dancing. but my real passion is travel and planning those undiscovered lands for future trips…
if someone famous were to play you in a film of your life ��� who would it be and why?
lauren bacall ��� i love love love her!
what���s your role in the glac��au family?
i am the london hydrology brand manager which basically involves a lot of multitasking! my job includes booking in the accounts to visit and managing the weekly schedules. we also travel with our hydro vehicle and rehydrate those who are in an urgent need for the hydration-education and glac��au love. we often work in high profile companies or national retail chains like wh smith or boots where we serve the public�� little cute cup-shots whilst we dance around our ‘hydration-station’ like little angels.
where���s your favourite place to do hydrology in london town?
my favourite place for hydrology would be deutsche bank in the city as they absolutely loved us there! and the most sexy man in the boring city works there (swwwwoooon)! my other favourite hydrology place would be top shop, you don’t really need ask me why….clothes and shoes….yeeeeeeeeahhhh!
what���s your favourite glac��au flavour?
i always be loyal to multi v – as it goes well with rum to create an amazing glaceau mojito- my favourite cocktail! (and it also has lots of lovely nutrients that keep you fit and healthy yes ludi!!!)
what do you love most about spreading the glac��au love?
i love the people and helping to make the world a little happier by spreading the glac��au love.
what can���t you live without?
i can’t live without my beautiful shoes… and maybe a cheesecake too… oh and vitaminwater obviously :)
you���re 3 favourite films of all time?
‘how to marry a millionaire” 1953 with lauren bacall, ‘the godfather’ & ‘one flew over the coo coo nest” with jack nicholson.
what���s you���re guilty pleasure?
again my guilty pleasure is my shoe shopping addiction, as well as ‘stealing’ my flatmates sweets and pretending it wasn’t me…when you are eating someones elses sweets it doesn’t make you so guilty as you didn’t buy them…

 

vitamin water london team
as you know, the glaceau family rolls deep and every now and again we take the opportunity to introduce you to some of the family’s jewels. this time it’s @glaceaulondon‘s turn as we direct the pounding spotlight on alex – glac��au vitaminwater london event manager & les – wait for it…. admiral of the now defunked tuc-tuc fleet & head of street theatre.

zombies scramble for vitamin water
everyone knows that zombies munch on brains, right?! well from this photographic evidence it seems clear that they’ve turned their hunger into thirst as they savaged the bristol v-team in search for vitamin water. we lost some good members that day, they will be missed 4eva. they left us doing what they did best – hydrating the nation undead.
i should have sent them this key bit of advice from jeffrey lewis – shoot the head. if you want to track down where the zombies are headed then looky here
