TGIF! Where are you Brunching this Weekend? Sending Love from PRESS Red Hills!

Randy and Gabby Burgess of Suga Lifestyle at PRESS Cafe, RHR Business Centre on Sunday, September 3, 2023.

If you don’t know by now, PRESS Cafe (Ig: @pressshopco) is one of Suga’s favourite spots.

Great service and consistency with good food quality and I love a place that’s always CLEAN.

They cater to Vegans and if you haven’t tried Brunch yet at their 76 RHR Business Centre location by Red Hills Road, give it a go!

I suggest calling ahead. The food is prepared fresh, so done to order and you can dine in a comfy environment.

Lots of parking available too.

Looking forward to the new Cocktail menu though, because Suga Loves her Cocktails.

Have a Great Weekend!

Happy Monday! Grab Your JABLUM Coffee and their NEW Low Sugar Dark Chocolate!

JABLUM Coffee has a NEW 70% Dark Chocolate made from their JABLUM GOLD that is only 8g in Sugar.

It has 16% Saturated Fat, but that is OK, you can break off a small piece when you have a craving and put it back for another time.

Check out my thoughts from their Launch here!

Everyday is an Occasion TRIO Grill Wine Bar! Where are You Going this Weekend?

Owner of TRIO Grill Wine Bar, Carlos Maxbrown with Gabby Burgess of Suga Lifestyle on July 1, 2023.
Surf and Turf with Mac-n-Cheese!


I know I have been super late to post my Restaurant Reviews Suga Fam, but forgive me as I have been trying to take Brand Jamaica to the World.

Let’s talk about TRIO Grill Wine Bar (Ig: @triowinebar64) ! Check out the highlights here!

https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cw7cCHHuPUH/?igshid=NzZhOTFlYzFmZQ==

Thanks so much Carlos Maxbrown for hosting me and hubby for my Birthday Dinner. Yall know when it’s JUNE, I celebrate all Month!

I was delighted to close out Gemini Season at TRIO – One of the best outdoor spots in Kingston for a date night, special occasion or even just casual lunch and dinner. Suga has done it all there and I’ve never been disappointed.

They take their time with service, but the ambience is just right especially at night and when the food arrives, “yuh belly feel arite”.

Whether Seafood, Meats or Both are your fave, kudos to their Chef for mastering them all. They do a killer Surf and Turf and I celebrated Gemini Season with their succulent and sufficiently sized Lamb Chops.

They left me yearning for that Chargrilled Octopus Appetizer though, so I am definitely returning for that soon.

Their Wine List is extensive and is perfect for pairing. Bottle Service is also available in a private section if you are taking your special occasion dining to the next level.

Check out TRIO Grill Wine Bar ! They continue to be #SugaEndorsed.

Cheers to another Weekend!

Missed The Benefits of Water Aerobics with Me on MelloFM88?!

Summer is over, but news is it’s not getting any cooler. If the gym and sweating doesn’t agree with you, try Water Aerobics and check out #SugaEndorsed @poolaerobics on Instagram !

1. IT IS LOW IMPACT
Beneficial for older adults/persons who do not want to put a lot of stress on the joints.
Excellent for rehabilitation
Buoyancy of water supports your weight, giving its own resistance, reducing impact on joints and the intensity of pain.

2. GREAT FOR CARDIOVASCULAR FITNESS
It still gets your heart pumping and has you breathing hard as you work out.
You still need to hydrate.

3. BUILDS CORE STRENGTH
With proper execution of Water Aerobics movement, you are forced to activate your core to keep balanced and stable above water.

4. IT IMPROVES MOBILITY & FLEXIBILITY
Some movements involve bending towards the toes, reaching upwards, stretching the back, arms etc.
If you stumble or lose your balance, the water makes for a soft landing.

5. IT CAN BR A RECOVERY WORKOUT
Helps you wind down from other workouts

***BONUS***
Di Wata Feel Nice!
Water is therapeutic and cold water can have an anti-inflammatory effect on persons with arthritis, knee issues and achey joints.

“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.

Happy Independence Day Jamaica, with Love from Raf Jam Bed and Breakfast!

Suga at Raf Jam Bed and Breakfast, Hopewell Road, Red Light District in Irish Town, Kingston, Jamaica on June 10, 2023

For my Birthday Weekend on June 10 this year, we took the perfect escape to the Blue Mountains in Irish Town, Jamaica.

A dog-friendly escape with wifi, but no Tv or Radio, nestled up in Red Light District on Hopewell Road. It’s one of my favourite Jamaican gems, Raf Jam Bed and Breakfast (Ig: @rafjambnb).

Watch “Happy Independence Day Jamaica!  [Song: Best in the World – Slashe | Jamaica Festival Song 2023] “on YouTube here:

https://youtube.com/shorts/6SQ1OEkLkUM?feature=share

Be greeted with the sweet, local hospitality of Suzi and her staff, then the calming sounds of the waterfalls and birds chirping with other sweet sounds of nature, surrounded by fresh air.

We had a cosy cabin for our stay and freshly made food for Breakfast and Lunch, as we ventured off for Dinner.
You’ll never see Fritters so Big! Delicious Jamaican style food that you can have by the riverside or their newly built deck.
You can count on a new development everytime you visit.

Raf Jam Bed and Breakfast is the perfect place for a short, getaway stay or adventure and even group retreats. They now offer all inclusive packages.

Raf Jam Bed and Breakfast continues to be #SugaEndorsed and I can’t wait to return.

XoXo, Suga
