"Where did the name Lolablue come from?"
'Lola' was a nickname given to Jamie by her best bud Pete, referring to her love of Barry Manilow and the music of the 70's. 'Blue' because our planet is called "The Blue Planet" and respecting Mother Earth in all we do is a huge part of the company's philosophy. Recently a customer told us Lola stands for...
Love one. Love all. We agree.
