Happy Monday! How is the Post Holiday or New Year Detox Going?

I enjoyed my Kale’ em with Greens Smoothie from PRESS Café (Ig: @pressshopco) at their new location on Red Hills Road. Pretty quiet and ‘smancy’. Pay them a visit today!

Don’t Procrastinate! You’d be surprised how happy your bodies will be if you eat and drink healthily consistently, even if it’s just for January. Make the sacrifice, it’s always worth it for a Happier, Fitter & Healthier YOU.

Good Morning from The Courthouse Gallery and Café !

The Courthouse Gallery and Café is a stop that’s worth it for a simple Breakfast or Lunch in Ocho Rios with adequate parking and good service.

I had the tasty smoked Marlin Bagel and my hubby, Randy enjoyed the recommended Toasted Ciabatta with Eggs.

They are located AT 4 Tremaine Rd, Kingston.
