Expect to see Black Entrepreneurs sit and discuss their ideas and businesses as they inspire and uplift others.

Where you can get All Natural Skin & Hair Care Products for the entire Family

Throwing it back to Suga Lifestyle’s V-Day Pop Up Shop on February 8, 2020!

Suga Artisan, Christine Clarke, Owner of Blissful Dreams, stunned patrons with her all natural, luxurious skin and hair care products for the entire family. Assisted by Prudentia Hall, Cosmetic Chemist, Food Technologist and Quality Practitioner, Christine’s products are guaranteed to be all natural, scents are highlighted as they should be and they leave a strong, lasting effect. For instance, her Lotions are definitely #SugaEndorsed. I have the Coconut Ginger Lotion that leave my hands moisturized for longer. I have to wash my hands often on the job, but having my Bottle of Blissful Dreams Lotion ($2000JMD) close by leaves my hands feeling rejuvenated all day. I just need to use a small amount each time, so I can tell that the bottle was value for money and will last for quite some time.

Some other Blissful Dreams products are Shampoo Bars, Conditioner, Facial Scrubs, Male Body Bars, Beard Oil, Bath Salts and more!

Check out Blissful Dreams today!

‘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.

The Epiphany: Beyond Body for Suga Lifestyle’s V-Day Pop Up Shop this Saturday!

20200205_060530_0000

Suga had an Epiphany! After over 2 years of testing various handpoured soy wax Candles from various artisans to find a special one other than Beryl + Blossom and Laura Alexis Candles, I found The Epiphany: Beyond Body. There were a few more suggestions to try, but Marsha-Lee Hutchinson’s branding, packaging and general presentation on Instagram grabbed me.

I tried her Coffee Candle (6oz) as well as the ‘Mi Rate Yuh!’ Blackberry with Vanilla (9oz) for Valentine’s. The Coffee candle when lit was strong the way I like it. The Blackberry and Vanilla was a bit faint when lit, but definitely soothing as more time went by.

20200205_060956

The Epiphany: Beyond Body is now a Suga Artisan and will have her handpoured Soy wax Candles, including the Valentine’s line on special, Chocolate and Coffee Body Scrubs too for great prices! She also offers Skincare products.

Look out for The Epiphany: Beyond Body this Saturday!

Through Unity”.
