When someone special to you receives a card from Roseberry Paper Company, they are not only surprised at how appealing and unique the card is, but it instantly comes to their mind that this card is a keeper. A card they can have on display for quite some time, or put in a special place so they can look back at it from time to time.
These unique, handcrafted, handmade cards are by Nakeeta Nembhard, owner of Roseberry Paper Company.
Would you like to show someone your appreciation in a less extravagant way, which still matters and shows the person you value them?
Perfect! Perhaps even let someone know you are thinking of them with the hope of brighter days.
Also, just a little reminder amidst the current crisis that Mother’s Day is less than a month away and I am sure if we can’t treat Mom to a Spa Day or a special Dinner at a restaurant, the thought definitely counts and what better way than ordering a card from Roseberry Paper Company. If it’s too early, that’s ok. Save the contact and browse Roseberry Paper Company’s page anyway!
Check out Roseberry Paper Company today!

Our Tourism sector is at an all time low, so our farmers have not been able to sell their produce to hotels. The Government of Jamaica has been assisting our farmers to market their produce. According to the Rural Agricultural Development Authority (RADA), the Ministry of Industry, Commerce, Agriculture and Fisheries made an immediate injection of $240 million for the purchase of excess produce from farmers! #SugaSnaps
RADA is currently active in the fields identifying farmers with excess produce. Trade Winds Citrus in Bog Walk, St. Catherine pioneered this charge by utilizing their excess produce of tomatoes in the National School Feeding Programme.

Bellefield Restaurant and Bar in Montego Bay not only has Lunch Specials, Curbside Pick up and Delivery, but a commendable, hassle free service, marketing fresh produce in ‘Bellefield Curbside Bundles’ to support our local farmers who can no longer sell at the market or to the hotels. Curbside Bundles also include value packs from Best Dressed Chicken!
Help our Farmers to stay encouraged despite the challenges being faced during COVID-19 #FarmFresh #SupportLocal

If you don’t remember Suga’s post on our local Chocolatiers last year or haven’t tasted Likkle More Chocolate yet, here is your update!
To refresh your minds, Founder, Fine Pastry Chef and Artisan Chocolatier, Nadine Burie has been awarded, Table Talk Jamaica Observer Food Awards Dessert Chef of the Year for the past 4 years.

The Production of Likkle More Chocolate Bars are still in the creative process. ‘We’ve been working on this project for more than 3 years now and we really want to give an excellent product that would be accessible to everyone in Jamaica with this line. We ferment, dry, roast, process the bean from the beginning until the end products and we work with different farmers from different regions. We press our own cocoa butter that we use in our chocolate. We control everything’ says Burie.

Likkle More Chocolate Produces Decorated Chocolate Bars with a unique variety of flavours!

They are also currently on Likkle More Chocolate’s Website***
– 72% Single Cocoa Estate (Their darkest Chocolate is made of rich fruity cocoa, featuring delicious cherry & woody rum notes!) – 72% Dark Chocolate with Nibs – 70% Dark Chocolate with Fresh Ginger – 70% Cocoa Sea Salt – 70% Cocoa Scotch Bonnet – 67/68% Cocoa Blue Mountain Coffee – 55% Cocoa Coconut Milk – 55% Cocoa and Milk Plantain – Hazelnut Milk Chocolate – White Cocoa MatchaOther Decadent Chocolate based treats from Likkle More include Seashells, Coffee Pearls and Truffles.
Did you know?
Chocolate varies in taste depending on where the cocoa bean it was made is from.
Nadine Burie also produces a line of Chocolate for Cafe Blue, which I had the pleasure of tasting! Well, eating, because it is true that once you take a bite, you say to yourself, just get a ‘likkle more’.
All the cocoa used to make Cafe Blue Chocolate is from the central and eastern parishes of Jamaica, from over 3000 small farmers!
There is also less sugar, more Cocoa. Natural Cane juice is used to sweeten and there are no preservatives and no artificial flavours.
My favourite was the 57% Bean to Bar Blue Mountain Coffee Dark Chocolate. Imagine it only had 3.2g of Saturated fat, no Cholesterol and only 2.6g of sugar! I ate that bar guilt-free.
Put Likkle More Chocolate on your #PostCovid19BucketList, BUT you can have the Chocolate line for Cafe Blue right now! You can either go to Cafe Blue, Sovereign Centre or purchase them for $600JMD+tx in Loshusan Supermarket, Barbican. By purchasing these chocolates, you help to impact the lives of over 3000 small farmers and their families. #SugaEndorsed
Stay tuned for when I get to try the Likkle More Chocolate line!

‘Hands in Art’ is a Suga Lifestyle & Rotaract Club of New Kingston Arts and Entrepreneurship Initiative with Lister Mair/Gilby High for the Deaf. The Project also has the support of e-Learning Jamaica Co. Ltd. ‘Impact Through Unity’ is Rotaract’s theme for the year, which inspired the majority of the pieces.
Last Saturday at Suga Lifestyle’s V-Day Pop Up Shop, the kids showcased their Paintings guided by Gabrielle Burgess, Founder/Owner of GW Art and Jewellery guided by Bianca Bartley, CEO/Creative Director of Peace-is of Bianca. All proceeds from sales went towards the students’ educational resources and the school’s infrastructure and there is still a need for more funding, for instance, to supply classrooms with fans that are currently without.
