“A night of art and sophistication. I am always so proud to see all the great changes happening in Jamaica as we continue to grow with style and grace. In the words of my childhood classmate “Jamaica is so much more than reggae colors!”
@sugalifestyle this was a beautiful event. Thank you for the invite and showing the world what Jamaica has to offer. We are excellence. #jamaicanart #jamaicancuisine #Jamaicanculture”

Happy Monday and Thank You JIS for this Feature!

Suga Lifestyle’s Art and Lifestyle Expo Launch held over a week ago highlighted Suga Lifestyle’s GW Art pictured, and our promotion of local businesses and entrepreneurs, with a focus on the Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (MSME) sector, showcasing Art, Fashion, Food and Lifestyle.

However, as with most of our Events, another observation was highlighted by our Keynote Speaker, Senator the Honourable, Aubyn Hill. Though a few male vendors were showcased, vendors were predominantly female, also highlighting the critical role of Women and their contribution to the Creative Industry and Commerce, which remains vital to the stimulation of our economy.

We Empower MSMEs, but have to give kudos to and showcase that the the driving force behind the majority of the Businesses we select, happen to be Women. That says a lot in 2023. Is the World Ready?

“The Best Snacks for Weight Loss” with Me on MelloFM88!


Eating a snack between meals helps curb hunger so that you take time to eat your Lunch and Dinner and you feel fine with the portions. Snacking can also help you get in all the nutrients you need.

It helps to have healthy snack options on hand so that you’re prepared when hunger strikes. Many of these weight-loss snacks are also great on-the-go snack options.

  1. NUTS
    Has healthy fats and they are full of fibre.
    If maintaing weight, Almonds are fine, but Peanuts are recommend for persons with weight loss goals.
    Add dried fruit to make it fun.
  2. GRAPEFRUIT
    It satisfies and has strong antioxidants. Delivers 100% of Women’s Vitamin C needs for the day.
    ***If on medication, clear with Doctor first.
  3. POPCORN
    High in fibre with some protein too.
    No butter it light butter. Ensure it is 5% or less in sat fat with 0% cholesterol and you’re good to go.
  4. YOGURT
    Provides Calcium and Fiber. It can fill even more Nutritional gaps by adding Fruits. Therefore choose plain Yogurt, not flavoured Yogurt.
  5. Chocolate, BUT DARK CHOCOLATE
    Losing weight doesn’t mean giving up the foods you love. Giving yourself little treats may be the secret to successfully managing your weight. Completely avoiding the foods you enjoy may end cause overeating just to feel satisfied, 

BONUS
GRAPES – High in natural sugar
A cup of Grapes is 100 caloreies
Pairing with low-fat Cheese makes a fantastic snack as well.
