Jamaican Summer is finally here! (you mean seh the year done already???)
We are halfway through summer 2022 already. Just six months ago we were all making all sorts of lofty new year’s resolutions. In January, we may have all set goals which have probably dropped off along the journey. One of those goals might have been to get into the gym and attain the ever elusive flat belly. We had six months to coax those abs out of hibernation, but unfortunately for some of us, a certain body part is still enjoying a deep slumber.
Now that summer is here, you might think that you need to forego summer shenanigans because of this perceived failure…Nonsense! Whether you have your desired summer body or not, you still deserve to have loads of fun this season. This Jamaican summer 2022 list from yours truly TJ will help you make this summer one to remember.

Busha Browne’s Jerk seasoning
Speaking of Jerk chicken, is it really a summer in Jamaica if you don’t eat some good, authentic jerk chicken at least once?

Most Important Jamaican Summer Essential: Confidence
Who cares if you don’t have the “perfect summer body”? A perfect summer body does not exist. As long as you feel good in your skin, you deserve to feel good at the beach. One of the best things about Jamaicans is that we appreciate people that come in all different shapes and sizes. Slim or fluffy, short or tall, none of that matters. All bodies are summer bodies. Why worry about insignificant body insecurities when the beach is waiting for you? Put down that flat tummy tea. Grab your swimwear and get going!
