The Queen Collection

T.G.I.F REVEllers! Its the end of the first week of the New Year . I know i promised to reveal some of the new pieces we have in store next week, but today i'll be giving you a preview . Today we will be looking at pieces from the Queen Collection

Queen Ring

This is from our signature line and can be described as a classic piece. This unique ring is made of Silver and Brass and comes in two variations and features 4 small circular studs. The variations are: original (flat) and curve. This is definitely a "Statement Ring" because of its size. This is actually the flat/original version shown in the picture. If you look closely , you would have noticed that this ring is an abstract "Africa"

Queen  Earrings

These are our newest Earrings in the collection They are also made of silver and Brass.This line was inspired  by Jamaican female recording artiste Queen Ifrica .The moment Queen Ifrica stepped out in these pieces we knew it had to be named after her. She wore it with such pride and grace. If you are the type of girl who likes to match pieces , these can be worn together which will be a conversation starter or head turner . If you are more of a "Minimalista" , then you can wear these pieces separately . It doesn't matter how or when you wear them , they are truly amazing and unique.

Come in and "peep" the Queen Collection as well as some of our other unique pieces

Today , i would like to look at another health option you can use to transform your mind and body . I'm talking about Yoga ! For those of you who might think that Yoga is something that only people in the States do , you are so wrong . Yoga really took off in Jamaica last year and continues to grow .  More gyms and fitness studios have introduced Yoga to their schedule . Below , i will provide some general information on Yoga as well as the different levels and where in Jamaica you can find the best Yoga places.

What is Yoga?

Noun "A Hindu spiritual and ascetic discipline, a part of which, including breath control, simple meditation, and the adoption of specific" "Yoga involves specific types of breathing and how to maintain a certain type of "peace". Hatha is a slow paced yoga focused on breathing and meditation . This type of Yoga is great for Beginners. It relieves stress and is great as physical exercise . Vinyasa Much like Hatha, Vinyasa covers basic poses and breath-synchronized movement.  It also helps to improve strength and flexibility , tones the abdominal muscles and reduces the risk oh heart diseases , high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. Ashtanga Ashtanga yoga metaphorically focuses on eight limbs. Considered a form of power yoga, Ashtanga is fast-paced and intense with lunges and push-ups.

Iyengar Iyengar covers all eight aspects of Ashtanga yoga and focuses on bodily alignment. Different props like straps, blankets, and blocks are used to assist in strengthening the body. Standing poses are emphasized, and are often held for long periods of time. It also helps to improve balance , speeds up recovery from an injury and builds body strength.

Detox For The New Year!

Good Morning REVEllers ! I trust you all had an eventful Holiday season . It's Wednesday and things are pretty much back to normal here in Jamaica . I know that most of you have made the Traditional New Years Resolution to "Lose Weight" or something Health related . I hope that most of you will actually stick to that Resolution and try to maintain a healthier Lifestyle instead of this resolution being just a fad . On that note , i would like to suggest a safer , cheaper way to be healthy for the new year.

Most people would associate Detox with sobriety of ridding one's self from toxins in Alcohol and Drugs . The truth is ...there are other ways of being Toxic . There are soooo many harmful foods and beverages that are consumed daily that might look and taste good but are detrimental to our health !

One way of Detoxing is with Herbal Teas . I first remember when i saw herbal teas at my house i seriously thought it was one of the "special" teas that would "flush my system" and would have me in the bathroom all day. That was kinda true ... but ..the good thing is that not only are they caffeine free, and healthy, but the tea consumption counts as part of the daily fluid intake requirement. This simply means that you will not be spending all day in your bathroom , but you will pass things that are harmful when you go to the bathroom ... get it ? Below are some of the most common Herbal Detox teas ( I've also included brief health benefits)

Ginger : I spoke extensively about Ginger in previous posts and by now you would have know that Ginger is great in assisting with Digestive issues. It also acts as a soother.

Chamomile : This is my all time favourite tea . This is great for calming the nerves at night or during stressful times. Even though it is a Detox tea it is known for helping with colds and cramps.

Lemon/ Fever Grass : This is known to rid the lungs of mucus , relive headaches, balance skin tone, acts as a mild sedative, and is even known to lower fevers.

A Detox Tea is a great way to rid your body of harmful toxins . If you decide to do a detox , be sure to do your research and know what works for your body . There are several types of Detox Teas on the market that are not limited to the ones mentioned in this post. You can find Detox Teas in your local Supermarket in the Tea aisle.

Turquoise dates back to the B.C period and has been valued by several cultures including the Mayans and Ancient Egyptians. This crystal is said to protect from physical and spiritual harm . It is also associated with good luck , strength , cleansing and relaxation.

Coconut Water " Good fi yuh Heart"

Good Morning REVEllers! Christmas has past and the new year is upon us! Here in Jamaica we have an old saying which goes " Coconut water wash off yuh heart " . This obviously is not a literal saying because you need all those fluids to keep your heart going . This simply means that drinking coconut water has many health benefits ; which you will find below.

• The oral intake of coconut water helps in breaking down and eliminating all forms of kidney and bladder stones, one health benefit that is low cost effective, and can save thousand of dollars that would have been put out for medical bills.

• It is known by many experts that coconut water contains the following supplements needed to sustain life:

- Glucose: which acts as sugar for energy in the body when taken

- Vitamin Bs: for replenishment of worn out cells and tissues

- Vitamin C: to shield the body form ailments like scurvy

- Potassium: which helps in lowering arterial blood pressure

• Coconut water has been generally offered to patients with diarrhea in many tropic regions to replace the fluid loss from the gastrointestinal tract and reduce the need for intravenous therapy

• Researchers have found that Cytokinins help regulate the cell growth and their divisions. Coconut Water contains these cytokinins and lauric acid which can minimize the aging of skin cells, balance PH levels, and keep the connective tissues strong and hydrated. Therefore, simply applying Coconut Water onto affected skin areas every night before going to bed may help with acne, age spots, wrinkles, stretch marks, cellulite, and eczema. 

• Coconut water is a natural electrolyte and isotonic beverage which help increase the body's metabolism. Therefore, it can greatly benefit people who are struggling with weight issues.

There are sooo many other health benefits of drinking Coconut water , i recommend doing extensive research beyond this post to see the ones not listed here .  I like my Coconut Water iced cold , how do you like yours?

The History of Boxing Day

While trying to find the main idea of what Boxing Day is and when it came about ... there were so many different explanations. I've summarised the most popular ones here below

To protect Ships

Traditionally , Boxing day originated in Britain during the "Age of Exploration " ( Columbus ) . Small boxes were given to sailors as a good luck device. This small box once it remained on the ship would bring good luck to the sailors on their voyage as it was blessed by the priest .

For the Poor

An "alms" box was placed in the Catholic Church somewhere around the 23rd and 24th of December . Each member of that church would place a small gift or token for the poor in the box. This box was always opened on the 26th ( the day after Christmas) which is why it is called "boxing day".

For workers

During the 18th Century , poorly paid workers were required to work on Christmas day , but got the day after Christmas off . As the workers were preparing to go off , their employees would send them off with small " Christmas Boxes " . This was done every year... and again ... thus the name Boxing Day.

Boxing day is celebrated on December 26th  in Britain , Canada and countries that were colonised by the British like Jamaica.
