Move On The Mountain is a 2-hour long fitness and motivational experience held at the top of Reggae Mountain, the home of Kamp Kamila Fitness in Kingston, Jamaica.
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,
A GIVEAWAY FROM SUGA LIFESTYLE COURTESY OF LOCAL SWIMWEAR COMPANY, MIAKALANI SWIM and the chance to WIN TICKETS to SUGA LIFESTYLE’S CHRISTMAS CONNECTION!

Yesterday, PRESS invited their valued customers to taste the best of what they had to offer from their NEW Menu options for FREE, give feedback and celebrate their 1 year Anniversary.
All options from the tasting are now available on their Menu!
Favourites for Suga were the Lychee Cake, which had a light, fluffy texture that melted in my mouth, the tasty Mango Sorbet and the Vanilla Chai Frappe (not listed).
The Crostini stood out for me too. They had quite a variety. I had the pleasure of tasting the Pizza, Ham, Avocado Chickpea and Italian Crostini.Â
The Summer Passion Iced Tea was pleasantly refreshing and the Coconut Bread Pudding, Chocolate Brownie and Pecan Squares were sweet treats. I heard the Go Green Protein Punch was delightful as well.
PRESS also has Fat-Free Frozen Yogurt that they have been offering from about February this year. Yesterday, the Strawberry Frozen Yogurt was too sweet, but I enjoyed the Coconut Frozen Yogurt.
PRESS has convenient hours for you to grab a quick bite, while you take care of business before the work day actually begins, during or after.
Happy Anniversary PRESS and Congratulations on a successful first year! Looking forward to all that you have to offer for more years to come.

It’s been a long time coming, but I finally made the trek to Street Food Saturdays. Was it worth it? Not really, but I went for the experience nonetheless.
The Menu
Persons like myself and my husband who go with the intention to try different dishes may be disappointed. We were not given the option to mix meats even when requested and the plates were small, especially for the prices. I hardly eat Pork, but wanted to taste their Smoked Pork Belly. That taste cost me $2,000JMD. It was succulent and crackling, but a bit too salty.
The event was filled with patrons. Thankfully they had good crowd control. The wait for food wasn’t long and even though you couldn’t get all your food options at one station, they seemed to have a good system going. ‘Chefs Dwight and Celine’ were on Meats, and Chef Simone Walker-Barrett with her assistants were on Seafood, with her added special of Jerked Lamb Chops.
It was a hot day. They had seating under tents, but my husband and I scoped out a table down by the river that was much cooler with more scenic surroundings.
The Rosemary Pan Chicken was nothing to write home about, but the Tangerine and Guava sauces provided were tasty and complemented the meats well.
The greatly anticipated Lobster Pasta was not visually appealing. A small serving of lobster on some cheesy elbow macaroni was served to others, so we passed on that.
This finally brings me to the good stuff. The Jerked Fish was seasoned to perfection and accompanied by tasty Parmesan Polenta.
Chef Simone Walker-Barrett’s Special was indeed special. The Jerked Lamb Chops were savoury.
After we finished our lunch, there was nothing that kept us interested to stay, so we made it back home in time to watch the Gibson Relays. I think the event has the potential to be better; maybe some entertainment or a farmer’s market. We enjoyed our meals, but it was an underwhelming experience based on the marketing of the event and it was not value for money. It was marketed as wood fire gourmet, but although the quality of some of the dishes was good, there was nothing signature about them, with regard to presentation or taste. After a long drive we spent $8,400JMD for street food, with walk up service, in an outdoor setting. Sorry Suga Bears, this event is not #SugaEndorsed.

I had a quick, satisfying lunch at Bella’s Vegan Eats with my husband, Randy last Friday at a neat spot tucked away on Windsor Avenue off Old Hope Road.
Bella’s Vegan Eats was prompt if you would like to pick up and has comfortable seating for you to have a quick bite for lunch. Even if it’s a hot day, the trees make the area cool and the picnic table umbrellas provide sufficient shade.
The area was clean, parking was hassle-free and service came with a smile. Haleem Card, Executive Chef and Director/Co-owner of Bella’s Vegan Eats made us feel right at home. Note that Haleem was the 2015 recipient of the Observer Food Awards’ Chef on the Rise.
What’s their Menu like?!
Their menu is fully Vegan, but still pleasing to the palate if you’re not Vegan. The menu changes daily with options of Soup, Wraps, Sandwiches, Chana Masala, Pasta and more, plus freshly made juices, Smoothies and even Dessert. The people’s favourite seems to be their Umami Black Bean Burger ($1200JMD).
I had the Coconut Chana Masala. I am not a fan of Coconut milk, especially since it has a high content of Saturated fat, but they used it lightly and it did not overpower the taste at all. I had it with plantain, a tasty raw vegetable salad and Peanut rice! The Peanut rice was a pleasant surprise and definitely increased the fiber content of the meal.
Main dishes are usually $750JMD, with an additional charge of $250JMD for side options. Their Natural Fruit Juices, that are low in sugar come in two sizes, the 12oz for $400JMD and 16oz for $650JMD. I had the what’s Up Doc a.k.a Carrot Juice that was light in consistency and quite refreshing.
Remember Suga’s Nutrition Session is this Saturday! If you missed the first one, try to make time for this one. Bella’s Vegan Eats was definitely added to the ‘Places to Eat’ List. They are #SugaEndorsed.
