Hello Suga Fam & Friends. The Sun is Out. Clean Up & Recovery have Begun.

We’ve heard from most of you, but not all yet. Please reach out if you are able to do so and let us know if you are safe and OK.

The Suga Lifestyle Team including our Princess Annie B, Mommy and Daddy Burgess are OK. We give many thanks.

Our hearts especially go out to our St. Elizabeth, Westmorland, Clarendon & MoBay family in the West, where there was devastating damage.

Donations for Hurricane Relief can be made safely to http://www.foodforthepoorja.org  and http://www.afj.org.

Much love and blessings to you all.

TGIF! Brunch at Broken Plate Continues to be #SugaEndorsed

Not sure why us Girls keep taking so long to return to Broken Plate (Ig: @brokenplateja), but Suga is definitely heading back there soon.

Watch highlights here!

https://www.instagram.com/p/DP6GkOFDXO4/?igsh=aWhkOXhrYnJkeTVs

We made reservations last Sunday for 11:15AM (Although Suga got there closer to Noon :)).
I joined my ladies when they were finishing their Appetizers…Calamari, no surprise there.

I had given them my order already, so it would arrive with theirs. I was thankful for the healthy options that Broken Plate continue to provide. Fulljoyed My stacked plate of Octopus Avocado Toast made with Coconut Avocado Bread as the base. It was so moist and wholesome! The Short Rib and Steak and Egg Sandwiches didn’t look filling, but the Southern Chicken & Waffle was another winner.

Did you see that Matcha Cake?! Yum!

It was an unusual day for The Bartender to be on his own, but our drinks arrived in adequate time and thankfully we left just as Brunch became Buzzier closer to 2pm. I only ask that light music be played in the background.

The staff was attentive throughout, kept us updated on our orders and we had a great afternoon catching up with each other, leaving satisfied.

A New Brunch menu is offered each week. Love that. RSVP ONLY.

When last have you gone on a date, gone for brunch, lunch or dinner at Broken Plate? Make your Reservations and get to it!

TGIF! Have you made your Mammogram Appointment? #earlydetectionsaveslives

It’s that time again where Suga administers more Mammograms!

Do you know that Breast Tissue can change every 6 months? That is why it is important to do your Mammograms annually after 40 yrs old.

The procedure is different for everyone and you may not feel any discomfort. When do you usually feel discomfort or pain doing your Mammogram?

– A low pain threshold
– A painful cyst or lump
– During Menstruation, a few days prior or post
– When you have larger breasts with thick breast tissue, making it harder to compress the breasts

Make your appointment now!

XoXo, Suga
