A Thankful Tuesday… When Starting an Art Collection begins with GW Art!

Suga Lifestyle, GW Art’s Gabby Burgess with Shermalie Hill at The Jamaica Pegasus, Kingston, Jamaica on September 3, 2024.
Suga Lifestyle’s Art & Lifestyle Expo Meet & Greet at AC Hotel Kingston, Jamaica on August 9, 2024

I know these “Tailored Jamaican” Ladies will bring Shermalie Joy everyday.

It was on set Jamaica Stock Exchange’s CBX Channel one morning promoting Suga Lifestyle’s annual Tailored Jamaican Pop-Up Fashion Show event last October, when he first laid eyes on them and kept asking, so when will it be finished?

I kept saying, not yet, when it is you will know. When I saw the locally designed Dress I would be wearing for the Art & Lifestyle Expo Meet & Greet in August, I instantly fell in love with all the colours that complemented each other. I said, that is it! GW Art’s “Tailored Jamaican” Ladies will be complemented by those colours too and they will stand by me whenever I speak. The Painting was showcased at my GW Art (Ig: @gwartbygabby) booth the next day at the Expo, making quite a statement in AC Hotel Kingston’s Ballroom. When Shermalie saw it, he smiled and said, you finally finished it and it didn’t take too long for him to tell ke he was ready to start his Collection with local Art.

When you Invest in Local Art, you Invest in Jamaica.

XoXo,
Suga

#tbt to Celebrating Being Blessed to have Kamila’s Kitchen for Vegetarian!

Suga visited the Award-Winning Kamila’s Kitchen (Ig: @kamilaskitchen_ja) at their New Location in the Marketplace in her celebratory month of June and it did not disappoint!

Check out Highlights here!

The Restaurant was full and the Service was quick.

Being a creature of habit sometimes, I went for my favourite, the Glow Bowl, which had a special spin on it that day, where Fricasse Mushroom was the highlight! A burst of colours and flavours. I can’t believe it’s Vegetarian!

To make things complete, I had Fruits my way with their delish, satisfying Very Berry Smoothie.

As the kids head back to school, take advantage of feeding their brains with WellFit Foods and Wellness (Ig: @wellgoodja) products available at Kamila’s Kitchen, MarketPlace… Spicy Vegan Cheese, Coconut Yogurt and Walnut Lentil Meat!

Create your own version of Kamila’s Kitchen’s Best New Gastronomy Experience in your homes and feel Guilt-Free.

Also, for a Back to School Relief Weekend, head up to their Skyline Levels location next Saturday, September 14 for Restaurant Round Robin! Make your Reservations. Call +1 876-671-2336.

The Craveable, Plant-based, Dairy- Free, JAMAICAN Kamila’s Kitchen continues to be #SugaEndorsed

It’s a Happy Monday when GW Art is going to the UK!

Location: The Jamaica Pegasus, Kingston, Jamaica
‘Releve on Key’ by GW Art (Framing by Frame Art Jamaica Ltd.); Location: The Liguanea Club, Kingston, Jamaica

It warms our heart as Artists when buyers see pieces they immediately relate to and are ready to claim as theirs with no hesitation.

Ambrose visited The Liguanea Club to see where they filmed The James Bond Movie, “Dr. No” and sighted GW Art. He instantly thought of his Mom who is a Piano teacher, messaged GW Art and was ready to take a piece of Brand Jamaica back with him to the UK.

What are you doing for the last weekend of Summer?

At the end of June just before Hurricane Beryl hit, we enjoyed an R&R weekend at Rafjam West (Ig: @rafjamwest) in Whitehouse, Westmoreland, quite close to Ivy’s Cove.

Watch highlights from our weekend here!

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C_TT0dku5hA/?igsh=MW54Ymdndmk2eDBxMg==

Though the house has about 3 or 4 rooms, we had the place to ourselves that weekend with a pool, bar and a private beach. The place was brand new, with tasteful, modern furnishings and all the amenities needed. Thankfully, it was not affected by the hurricane. Unfortunately, just a few trees came down.

Our meals were cooked to order. We enjoyed our Jamaican breakfast, Curried Chicken and Steamed Fish for lunch. Less options available, but the same high standard as that of Raf Jam in Irish Town, Kingston. Delicious.

We didn’t get a chance to visit the bar across the water that looked like a decent lyme, but next time. 

We visited Luna Sea Inn (also ok after the Hurricane) for dinner by the sea one night, which had great service. Our Steaks were delectable and the bartender was awesome.

We stopped by Cloggy’s on the Beach (Current operations unknown), on our way back and had tasty Curried Shrimp and Conch. A bit of a wait, but we weren’t in a rush. We chatted and enjoyed the the seaside view from our table, not venturing off near the water where there may be gators!

We enjoyed a quiet, scenic getaway weekend and happily recommend Rafjam West to your family and friends.

XoXo, Suga

Happy Monday! Where are you having your Coffee Today?


It’s been a busy year, but Suga still makes her foodie rounds, especially to a few new spots!

Ahmeraki Cafe (Ig: @ahmerakicafe) opened earlier this summer. We visited mid July and need to go back!

Comfy, cosy cafe with artwork in arched walls, serving local JABLUM Coffee!

Courteous and attentive staff with tasty food for a quick, simple breakfast or lunch. I enjoyed my Salmon bagel and appreciated that though simple, they took pride in its presentation.

Overdue to revisit this one, by Constant Spring Golf Club.

Have a great start to your week Suga Fam!
