#tbt to the Visueats Launch! Which Restaurant Needs a Picture Menu?

Gabby Burgess of Suga Lifestyle at the Visueats Launch at AC Hotel on Friday, March 3, 2023.

Which Restaurant would you like to see with a proper Digital Picture menu?

I would like to see a few of my faves, Koi Sushi (Ig: @koisushija), Orchid Thai Restaurant (Ig: @orchidthaijamaica) and Nirvanna Global (Ig: @nirvannaglobalja) with one.

Waiting it out a little, but does the new Buzo Jamaica(Ig: @buzo.jamaica) have one?

Visueats is revolutionising the dining experience led by two phenomenal women in tech, Sophronia McKenzie and Tanesha Westcarr.

With Instagram, TikTok and more, we’ve been eating with our eyes. By seeing the dishes before they come out of the kitchen, Visueats allows us to choose what we want to eat without spying on plates passing by. Appetise with your eyes from the Menu first!

You could also get a headstart from home with the Visueats app. I encourage Restaurants to get with it and sign up!

Follow Visueats and check out their Link Tree here:

Oh and if Sweet Wines are your vibe, check our Old Tavern Wines (Ig: @oldtavernjamaica)! Loveeee the Bottling.

It is ok to start Mondays with Zen Energy

Feel like you need a third day on the weekend?!

You don’t need to dive right into Monday with a big splash if you aren’t ready.
Meditate first.
Then Accelarate and Elevate.

Happy Friday! Endless Cocktails and a New Menu from Regency Bar and Lounge!

Gabby Burgess a.k.a Suga of Suga Lifestyle with the New Elderflower Martini and Melon Surprise from Regency Bar and Lounge, Terra Nova All-Suite Hotel at their New Menu Launch last Tuesday.

A Renewed Regency Bar and Lounge (Ig: @regencybarandlounge)? YES Please! I’d love to see all the ladies return to Regency in 3s and 4s in their LBDs and the Gentlemen dressing their best.

Endless Cocktails have returned Every Friday 5pm – 10pm and the NEW NEW Menu is FIRE.

Check out highlights from Regency Bar and Lounge’s New Menu Launch here:

https://youtube.com/shorts/qz2tZEYpSAw?feature=share

Crowd fave Cocktails at the New Menu Launch last Tuesday were the Elderflower Martini and Melon Surprise pictured with me on this cover.

If Rum Cream is your thing, feel free to get Drunk In Love, but it’s Bittersweet for Campari lovers. White Rum? Is it a Martini? No, it’s an uncoventional Rum Fire based Classic Daiquiri. That will do it. I liked it! The white rum was not overpowering at all. There are more to come today too!

Oh and fret not, with Endless Cocktails you are encouraged to Drink Responsibly. The New Menu items with tasty Apps and Dinner dishes made with love will soak it all up.

Lobster Bruschettas

Best Broccoli I’ve ever had due to a tasty vinaigrette and a crispy cashew crunch.
The Surf & Turf and Chicken Sliders and both the Lobster and Chicken Bruschettas were highlights for me, bringing the right amount of spice. Those slider buns were soft and fresh and the meat was tender and well seasoned. #SugaSnaps

The Shrimp Penne can’t lose with the Pasta lovers and of course, their Signature Lobster Mac-n-Cheese is back to call your name with a little more love. So creamy!

Lobster Mac-n-Cheese

Curry Goat Rice Balls ?! Different, but Delish.and the Chocolate Mousse Cake was definitely worth the calories.

Chocolate Mousse Cake

Go check out Regency Bar and Lounge & have a Great Weekend! Cheers!
***Making a Reservation is advised***

About Those EXERCISE MYTHS, Get Your Fit Tips Here!

If you missed your Get Fit Tips on MelloFM88 with Gabby, check them out here!

THE MORE YOU SWEAT, THE BETTER
Too much heat can be dangerous, so your body has mechanisms to cool down such as sweating and it also depends on weather conditions.

NO PAIN, NO GAIN
Not all workouts need to cause soreness to be making improvements. Soreness should not last longer than 1 week and if you feel PAIN, STOP.  You are either doing something wrong or hurting your body.

YOU CAN TARGET YOUR FAT BURN a.k.a SPOT EXERCISE
NO! Your body uses fat stores as a whole and not from one specific area

LOSING WEIGHT IS ALL ABOUT DOING A LOT OF EXERCISE & CARDIO
Losing Weight is more impacted by what you Eat. You should also balance Cardio & Resistance Training.

YOU SHOULD WORKOUT EVERYDAY
You need active rest, at least 1 day.
