I am truly blessed to have my Birthday fall on June 10th, when businesses are reopening, persons are heading back to work and well basically, the country is reopening. I find joy in spreading positive vibes and even though some of us including myself may feel naturally nervous about what the future will hold, we are ALL moving forward during and after Covid-19.
Stay tuned to SUGA, yes that’s the good ‘Suga’ with no ‘r’, as I continue to embrace and PROMOTE local and small businesses with love. My 2020 GW Art Collection is ongoing! Thanks to all who have supported GW Art from the very beginning and especially during Covid 19. Looking forward to new support too, as GW Art is for everyone!
During Love In The Time Of Corona continues as I ENTERTAIN you with my Restaurant Reviews and other Culinary outings and experiences.
I truly feel a huge void without the NBA Finals on my Birthday, but I look forward to its return with other Sports and entertaining you with commentary and updates for them too.
As a Certified Personal Trainer & Sports Nutritionist, I practice what I preach and I am pleased and proud to announce that I hit my ‘Dirty 30’ weight, also my Wedding Day weight once again!💪🾠I am just a phone call away to EDUCATE.
Again, I am Thankful. Cheers to 35 and Going into Overdrive! 🥂
XoXo, Suga 💖

Topp In Designz Ltd. has definitely found its niche in the Covid-19 essential market with their high quality, Branded and Reusable face masks with 2 layers and a slot for an additional filter for added protection.
Topp In remains innovative with their demo video showing the makings of their masks.
For my first Reusable face mask, I had to go to them and I still ordered from another source. So stay tuned. But with Topp In, my order was ready within two days after ordering online. Their store on Ardenne Road to pay for the order to go into production is quite central, or you can pay via bank transfer. I got my masks, which included one for my husband by Curbside pick up. No complaints. These masks do not fall below the nose! Sturdy, breathable and fashionable.
Suga is ready for JUNE! Also my Birthday month!
Suga in her branded mask from Topp In Designz, is wearing Adult Size Very Small with comfortable adjustable elastic around the ears. (Cost: $1000JMD)
Check these NEW clear pouches out too! No more digging around in the handbag with dirty hands to find something or spraying it over and over with lysol. These plastic pouches are easy to sanitize.
PRESS has been navigating through Covid-19 too with their Wellness Shots that have Turmeric, Lime juice, Ginger and Honey. Love them! They’re fire! #SugaEndorsed. So you know they go fast!
Also can’t wait to have their NEW Immune Booster Smoothie with Vitamin C, Turmeric and Ginger!

Suga Tasters, Ash and Ten’s Breakdown!
Chef Bingy definitely met and even exceeded our expectations, particularly with the explosion of different flavours in relatively simple dishes. We first experienced this with Chef Bingy’s Pumpkin Chicken Soup, which Jamaicans expect in a Pumpkin soup, but with welcomed notes of coconut milk and ginger. Chef Bingy definitely defied the ‘usual’ by also adding nuts such as Almonds to her marvellous Soup.
Chef Bingy’s Pumpkin Chicken Soup
We had ordered a Salad as well, which was deliciously enhanced by a crunchy texture from added Walnuts and Pears to the Kale. Sweet and earthy were definitely the predominant flavours!
Chef Bingy’s Salad
After our very satisfying Soup and Salad experience, we recently tried Chef Bingy’s Curried Chicken, which was extremely rich and flavourful. This, served with roast and fried Breadfruit, definitely hit the spot and was reminiscent of my beloved Nanny’s cooking in a ‘dutchie’ on the cold stove. For $800JMD, along with generous slices of Avocado and Plantains, this meal was well worth it!

The personal delivery from Chef Bingy herself was also a nice touch, but if she continues cooking this way, she may be confined to the Kitchen whipping out more and more delicious soul food!

Dexter thankful for receiving his mask and more from The Pub Bar and Grill.
Kudos to The Pub Bar and Grill for giving Masks, Funds and other items to Persons on the road in need.
As we begin to think of going back to the office to work, going outside or how long we will need to wear masks, please remember those that aren’t able to source their own masks. A good deed no matter how small, goes a far way.

Suga Taster, Kimmy’s Breakdown!
Suga Taster, Kimberly Nesbeth
During Love in the Time of Corona, EITS Cafe has been offering Door Step Dining. There are usually two Soup options and six Meal options, in addition to some fun treats such as Pesto, Herb Butter and Cookies.
There are also refreshing and simple Salads. There are suggested combinations and an option to build your own Salad, which is what I ordered.
There are quite a few options you can choose from, and part of the fun is switching it up so that you’re not having the same Salad every day.
