#tbt As much as we Love to Travel, there is so much to explore in Sweet Jamaica

Although there is a Biopic now out on Bob Marley, it is such an experience to visit where he lived, see how they preserved his house, what happened there, its furnishings and some of his belongings.

Have you done the Bob Marley Museum Tour?  I would do it twice. The food is good at the Cafe too. Get yourself some Molasses and lively up yourself.

XoXo, Suga

#tbt! Did You Know Our Events Started with My GW Art Exhibitions?!

[AVAILABLE: Our Doctor Bird (Framed Acrylic on Canvas: J$100,000]

Happy Tuesday! I am Gabrielle Burgess and I am an Artist.
My Art is mostly Graphic with a signature use of colour, texture, vintage black and white, and sometimes incorporates a touch of Jamaican. I believe GW Art (Ig: @gwartbygabby) is for everyone.

In 2018 I decided to have the Christmas Connection event under the Suga Lifestyle brand, instead of the GW Art Exhibition, thinking I could curate an experience with more variety of high quality, local products representing the island’s Creative Industries, while contributing to selected Charity Beneficiaries. Most importantly, each vendor would be unique to their own craft or style for maximum profit. GW Art did the best it ever did, almost sold out, and so it began.

Cheers from Treasure Beach Inn! What are you doing for the rest of Summer?!

Summer marks the 1 year Anniversary that Hurricane Beryl destroyed this beautiful villa. I was excited and happy to visit upon its reopening the end of May earlier this year for the Calabash Festival.

Who makes last minute plans to attend Calabash and stay over for the weekend? Suga does! Because I can find gems like Treasure Beach Inn (Ig: @treasurebeachinn). Owner, Ernie Muirhead quickly accommodated me, sending menus and ensured I was comfortable throughout my stay.

Saphia cooked up a storm from morning to night for the weekend, with traditional Jamaican spicy Callaloo, Cook up Saltfish, Stew Peas to tie me so I return, good ol’ fried Chicken and Curried Lobster.

The rebuild was still in progress, but complete for the most part. I enjoyed the breezy Bar you can dine or drink, chill and chat for hours by, clean Room and Kitchen with modern, yet rustic beachside furnishings.

Demanding a Pool would be a lot after such a big rebuild, but the Beach is close by!

If you need a staycay before September begins or need to plan ahead for Treasure Beach’s Food, Rum and Reggae Festival (Ig: @foodrumreggaefestival),

Call 876.563.0658 or 754.216.8866 and visit their Instagram Page @treasurebeachinn!

#tbt to Our Emancipendence Feeding at The Marie Atkins Shelter,Downtown Kingston

(L-R) President Shawna Brown and Linval Ramdial of Rotary Club of Downtown Kingston, Councillor Charmaine Daniels of the KSAMC and Gabrielle Burgess of Suga Lifestyle last Saturday at the Marie Atkins Shelter in Downtown, Kingston.

Last Saturday, as a result of Proceeds from our Yoga for Charity session at the recently held Suga Lifestyle’s Art & Lifestyle Expo, we fed all the Residents at the Marie Atkins Shelter on Hanover Street in Downtown, Kingston.

Here are the Highlights of a Great Day:

We were so happy that the Residents were receptive and greatly appreciated the authentic Jamaican flavour we brought to them for Lunch time with Shelldung Kitchen Seasonings’ JTz Kitchen Catering of good ol’ Stew Chicken, Mac Salad and Rice and Peas, where they could come for seconds, complemented by Uncle Nehe’s Bush Alternatives’ Jamaican Snacks and Chocolate Tea, so close to our Jamaican heritage.

This was a joint effort with Rotary Club of Downtown Kingston (Ig: @rotaryclubdwntwnkgn) and we thank Councillor Charmaine Daniels of the KSAMC for assisting, stepping in on behalf of Mayor Andrew Swaby and of course, Ms. Donna-Gaye Brady for accommodating us and welcoming us with open arms every time.

It was our absolute pleasure to share Our Emancipendence with the Residents and we will be back.

XoXo, Suga
