The intensity expected from Move On The Mountain and its ultimate goal to aid you achieve a Healthier and Fitter 2019, resonates with Suga Lifestyle.

It is expected to be a fat burning, calorie torching and character-building MOVE that kicks off with a high intensity full-body SWEAT, followed by a specially curated series of hill drills, AB work and then a STRETCH!

Reggae Mountain Movers will have to dig deep to tackle the full 90 minutes of healing endorphins heightened by the transformative power of nature and the magical Skyline vibes. There will be 3 fitness levels (red, green and gold), 500-1000 calories to be burnt and health intentions to be set for continued 2019 MOVEment and beyond.

The intense workout will close out with delicious post-workout smoothies from Kamila’s Kitchen, a health talk featuring surprise guests, a post fitness reggae party and of course,

Merry Christmas from Suga Lifestyle!

PhotoGrid_1545688731506

Suga would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and all the best for the season! 

It has been a great year for Suga Lifestyle and I have to tell you all a Big Thank You for staying tuned to all the categories that build the Suga Lifestyle brand; GW Art, Charities, Restaurant Reviews and Ratings, Brand Jamaica, Sports, Health and Fitness and more.

I am also very proud to report that the 1st staging of my Trade show, Suga Lifestyle’s Christmas Connection held at The Liguanea Club on Saturday, December 15th was a success. The event involved artisans hand-picked by me to offer their unique, handcrafted, handmade, Jamaican items to the public.

TCP’s Jamaican greeting cards were also in the building as a convenience for shoppers to get cards to go with their gifts.

With Suga Lifestyle’s Christmas Connection, there was no need to shop for gifts online. The event gave sponsors and guests the opportunity to support Brand Jamaica, specifically entrepreneurs who operate within the
Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) sector. Through their support, Jamaican made products and the
island’s creative industries, were highlighted. Vendor industries included; food, graphic art, woodcraft, ceramics, fashion, agro-processing and personal care. My Suga Artisans were hand-picked to inspire innovation, and to provide a platform for business growth.

For those who missed out on Suga’s Winter Wonderland or for Suga Bears and Suga Daddies who would like to relive the moment, here are some highlights from the day.

Guests entering the venue were greeted by some of the Sponsors, Gustazos, Sagicor Bank and Jablum. Gustazos along with Suga Lifestyle offered some Selfie photo fun, while Jablum treated guests to freshly brewed, hot Coffee and Sagicor Bank offered Scones from Cannonball Cafe to complement the Coffee.
