Happy Monday! Remember, Creativity takes Courage. What is Suga Lifestyle?

Love What You Do and Keep Doing It.

SUGA LIFESTYLE provides a cocktail of services that facilitates promoting local businesses and entrepreneurs, focusing on the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) Sector via Pop-Ups and Expos.

We conduct Fitness Training, Nutrition Sessions and Seminars via Fit Happens with Gabby (Ig: @fithappenswithgabby), and produce Paintings and decor for sale of Art via GW Art (Ig: @gwartbygabby).

At the heart of these services, one of the main ingredients is to provide a wholistic approach to bringing awareness, to uplift and elevate one’s peace of mind, hence enabling these services under one umbrella.

XoXo, Suga

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!

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!

“A night of art and sophistication. I am always so proud to see all the great changes happening in Jamaica as we continue to grow with style and grace. In the words of my childhood classmate “Jamaica is so much more than reggae colors!”
@sugalifestyle this was a beautiful event. Thank you for the invite and showing the world what Jamaica has to offer. We are excellence. #jamaicanart #jamaicancuisine #Jamaicanculture”

Happy Monday and Thank You JIS for this Feature!

Aubyn Hill (centre), pictured with Owner of Pickle Mi Pickle, Janelle Wilkinson, her daughter, April Lyn (Top Left) and Valerie Veira, CEO of Jamaica Business Development Corporation (JBDC) (top right); also in conversation with (from left), CEO of JBDC, Valerie Veira and CEO, Suga Lifestyle, Gabrielle Burgess, at Suga Lifestyle’s Art and Lifestyle Expo Launch, on August 18 at the AC Hotel in Kingston, Jamaica.

Suga Lifestyle’s Art and Lifestyle Expo Launch held over a week ago highlighted Suga Lifestyle’s GW Art pictured, and our promotion of local businesses and entrepreneurs, with a focus on the Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (MSME) sector, showcasing Art, Fashion, Food and Lifestyle.

However, as with most of our Events, another observation was highlighted by our Keynote Speaker, Senator the Honourable, Aubyn Hill. Though a few male vendors were showcased, vendors were predominantly female, also highlighting the critical role of Women and their contribution to the Creative Industry and Commerce, which remains vital to the stimulation of our economy.

We Empower MSMEs, but have to give kudos to and showcase that the the driving force behind the majority of the Businesses we select, happen to be Women. That says a lot in 2023. Is the World Ready?
