6 Healthy Food Tips from Tobago

Terrance Belfast — Mon, 30 May 2022 20:19:48 +0000

A Caribbean Guide to Healthy Eating

As the old adage goes: your health is your wealth. We’re always looking for ways to eat better and make our favourite foods healthier without sacrificing flavour.

Luckily, the Caribbean is chock full of organic ingredients that make some of the most mouthwatering dishes in the world while promoting a healthy lifestyle.

Healthier Eating Tips

Let’s break down how you can add simple healthy ingredients to create healthy food to eat.

For a Healthier Breakfast

Sweet Potato Flour

Sweet potato flour is a versatile flour made from the finest sweet potatoes grown in Tobago and actually has more nutritional content than traditional flours–including soy and wheat! Rich in iron and antioxidants, it’s gluten-free and has cancer-fighting compounds.

How To Use It

Sweet potato meal is a fantastic addition to your favourite breakfast meals. Start your day with a traditional, hearty sweet potato porridge. Substitute them with regular flour to make muffins or a tower of fluffy pancakes or waffles for the whole family. If you’re on the go, add it to your favourite breakfast fruit, punch or green smoothie recipes.

For a Healthier Desserts

Green Fig Meal

Green fig meal packs a punch (pun intended!) in health benefits and can be used as a flour substitute as well as a supplement. It allows for better absorption of nutrients, is a great source of probiotic bacteria (which is great for maintaining a healthy gut), is high in fibre, and is an excellent source of vitamin B6 and vitamin C.

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is another secret weapon to add to your baking arsenal. It’s been linked to cholesterol level maintenance, weight loss, boosted immune system, proper digestion and regulated metabolism. a healthy gut), is high in fibre, and is an excellent source of vitamin B6 and vitamin C.

How To Use It

Green fig meal and coconut oil are perfect for desserts, so you can still indulge in those sweet tooth cravings guilt-free. It goes without saying that they are a must for banana bread! You can also use them as a substitute for your cakes, brownies, and cookies, for healthier delectable bites that everyone can enjoy.

For a Healthier Flavours

Bay Leaf

A widely used spice, bay leaf has been used since ancient times and for good reason. It’s a medicinal herb that may help manage diabetes and other lifestyle diseases, and anxiety, as well as help lower levels of stress hormones in the body. While most of us typically drink it as tea, you may be surprised to know that you can also add it to many savoury dishes.

Chandon Beni

Chadon beni is considered the quintessential seasoning of the Caribbean and there’s even more reason to love it: This chadon beni sauce is made with culantro, which possesses a number of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties which can aid with a number of ailments ranging from digestional problems, blood pressure to pain relief and more.

How To Use It

With bay leaf powder, you can add depth and flavour to your soups, sauces and meats. Culantro sauce can easily become a pantry fave: it’s diverse enough to be used as a condiment for bake and shark, doubles, or pholourie, and an ingredient in snacks and meals like chow, stews, and the go-to meal prep seasoning for meat and fish.

Bonus Tip

Kale

Considered one of the top superfoods, kale is a highly nutritious plant used in many healthy diets. It’s rich in Vitamin A (important for eye and bone health and strong immune system), vitamin C (aids in cold and chronic disease prevention), and vitamin K (good for blood clotting and bone-building), to name a few.

How To Use It

Kale leaves are popularly consumed in salads and smoothies, but you can sprinkle kale flakes over any of your meals if you want to up your daily nutritional intake.

As Caribbean people, food and cuisine are defining features of our culture. While we all want to indulge, we also want to make sure that we're eating right. At ShopCaribe, we pride ourselves in having a suite of items that allow us to bring a healthy taste of those flavours of the region to you!

The Luxury Body Vault

We know that face-care products play an integral role in achieving flawless skin.

Beyond the face, there’s skin on our bodies that can use some TLC too!

Skincare is a full-body agenda, so it’s just as vital to have a regime for all over as it is for your face.

Here on our island of plenty, ShopCaribe offers countless body products from across the Caribbean for you to indulge in, all of which offer skin-transforming benefits derived from organic ingredients.

Skincare

Let’s dive in!

Scrubs are not just for Exfoliation

Did you know that scrubs are just as essential for all over your body as it is for your face? The Oui Scrubs line is specially crafted to help to draw out impurities, promote circulation, remove dead cells from the skin’s surface, and soften rough, dry skin. Treat yourself to their citrusy-mint Grapefruit & Peppermint Body Scrub which feels like an all-inclusive retreat for your skin.

Organic Skin Cleansing and Hydration

Butter Boutique’s Goats Milk and Oat Soap is a fantastic total-body cleanser because it gently exfoliates, restores moisture, and creates a protective barrier on the surface of the skin that guards against bad bacteria and UV rays, an essential for Caribbean living!

A drizzle of Oui Scrubs Jasmine & Vanilla Body Oil will turn moisturizing into a ritual. Scented with jasmine and vanilla, this delicate mix calms your skin while giving it a natural illuminating glow. If you prefer something a bit thicker, try their Whipped Organic Body Butter. Decadent and buttery, it’s a wonderful for stretch mark prevention and fading.

If you want even more protection from those rays, add a layer of Eco-Truffles’ Sun Block Aloe Vera and Zinc Sun Block before you head out! Made with neem, tea tree soap and Aloe Vera gel, it’s a naturally effective way to get protection from harmful rays and toxins.

Who says beer is only for drinking? Vortex Sensations’ Caribbean Blue Soap is made purely with Carib Blue Beer and enriched with shea butter to moisturise the skin. Their beer-infused soap is more than a gimmick. Full of antioxidants, it helps dissolve dead skin cells, increase the elasticity of the skin, reduce acne breakouts, and can add to the natural glow of your skin.

If you’re looking for natural alternatives to your deodorants, try a Bergamot Lemon Organic Clay Deodorant or the fragrant Frankincence & Myrr, both of which can eliminate body odour, calm irritated skin, while absorbing moisture for fresh arm pits all day long.

Living in the tropical weather, bug bites are pretty common. Your can chase them away with the Eco-Truffles’ Sea Salt and Mint Bug Repellant to prevent bites, or use their fast-absorbing Aloe Vera Healing Gel to soothe bites as well as rashes, sun burn, and more.

The Caribbean is home to so many natural ingredients that are perfect for keeping your skin and body healthy and nourished. Our curated collection was designed to bring you some of the best luxury products for you to enjoy some much-deserved every day, from head to toe.

Unlock Extravagance with these Spa Day Essentials

Who says you have to treat yourself to a spa day as a luxury experience on select occasions?

These days, self-care is prioritised as essential for our overall wellbeing, and for good reason! It plays a vital role in helping you maintain your physical, mental, and emotional health.

The more time you spend time caring for yourself, like crafting your own spa day, the more you reduce your stress levels, boost self-esteem, and of course, radiate from the inside out.

Spa Day Essentials

We all know that calm, tranquil feeling at the end of a spa visit, so why not recreate that experience at your own convenience?

At ShopCaribe, we have a treasure trove of essential spa ingredients to build your own at home.

Set the Mood

The first step to your at-home spa experience is to set the mood by slipping on a lavish satin robe from Crown & Luxe.

Immerse your room with the sweet, yet salty, oceanic accords of Tobago Wyck’s Store Bay Bliss scented candle and envelop yourself in aromas of amber, vanilla, coconut, and sandalwood.

Start your spa regime with a gentle cleanser. AngelEyes’ Herbal Soaps are organically crafted with a blend of local herbs including aloe vera, neem, moringa, tumeric, bamboo, lemongrass and charcoal (to name a few) to give your face an extravagant experience beyond just a wash.

How do you get rid of the old? Exfoliation!

Luvalwayz Organic’s Sea Salt Body Polish to encourage circulation and remove dead skin cells which will improve its appearance.

Give your skin an extra touch of silky smoothness with Luvalwayz Organic’s Herbal Rejuvenating Serum. Made from all-natural botanical blend ingredients like turmeric, green tea, neem, and essential oils that will give you an illuminating outer glow and can be a fantastic finish to your skincare regime.

Face to Feet Exfoliation

For your face, dab on Pinkberri Kosmetique’s Peppermint Swizzle Stick Whipped Sugar Scrub for a tingly-sweet and cooling cleanse.

We love it on our sushi, but did you know that seaweed is also a powerful ingredient for your skin? Luvalwayz Organic’s Seaweed Face Mask is loaded with vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and proteins, it works wonders for dry-sensitive, acne-prone skin and those with skin conditions.

After all the exfoliating, scrubbing, and soaking, it’s time to hydrate. Replenish your body with the mild musk of Vanilla Moisturising Body Lotion or the luscious Midnight Pomegranate Body Butter for the ultimate opulent feel. As you wind down from your deluxe at-home spa experience, sip on TeaBago’s soothingly fragrant Mango Coconut Green Tea.

It's the little things you do for yourself that can make the biggest difference. If you're looking to treat yourself to some “you time”, our collection of products has everything you’ll need to pamper yourself with your own home spa bar.

6 Excellent Brands from Tobago to Add to Your Beauty and Wellness Routine

Philip Colthrust — Sat, 09 Apr 2022 03:54:02 +0000

6 Excellent Brands from Tobago to Add to Your Beauty and Wellness Regime

To know Tobago is to know the vibrance that exists in its lush landscapes and beaches, sumptuous food, and its people. For anyone who has ever encountered this slice of paradise, these elements easily conjure up memories of life on the tranquil isle.

The Tobago Pavilion allows you to do just that. This hub speaks to the rich cultural heritage by bringing those same cultural influences to your own space.

Here are four ways you can create your own Tobago lifestyle right at home!

Skincare

When it comes to wellness, there’s no doubt that skin care is essential to your overall health.

Remedies to soothe eczema and psoriasis

Pinkberri Kosmetique’s natural skin care products are uniquely formulated to treat a number of skin issues. Their Moringa Hand and Body Lotion, for example, is a great remedy to soothe eczema and psoriasis.

Organic Skin Cleansing and Hydration

You can reconnect with nature through Luvalwayz Organics. Their collection–like their brightening and hydrating Seaweed Face Masks– includes traditional and organic oils and botanicals to enhance natural beauty while preserving the environment.

Teas and Treats

Tobago Sweetness

On those days when you’re in the mood for sweets the way Granny used to make, Tom Tom’s Local Confectionery is the spot for you. From creamy coconut fudge to bene sticks, their assortment of Tobago sweets will make your mouth water.

Tobago Teas

Growing up in the Caribbean, ‘bush tea’ was a staple in every home and you can add them to your pantry–without the backyard bush! Teabago Teas feature blends that are steeped (pun intended!) in history and culture and are full of flavour. Sip on the quintessential taste of Tobago with a hot cup of cocoa tea; their rich energy-boosting Chocolate Chai tea is a great way to top off your morning.

Elevate your hair and self care routine!

Crown and Luxe

With satin serving as the star of the show, you can elevate your hair and self-care routine with Crown and Luxe. Their line features hair bonnets, scarves, and shower caps that not only protect your hair in luxury style but were designed with tropical colours that match the Tobago aesthetic. You can also indulge in their satin robes and eye masks both of which are the perfect additions to your self-care Sunday kit or any moment you need to unwind.

Tobago Wyck

Scents can spark nostalgic memories, so why not surround your space with aromas that remind you of some of Tobago’s iconic landmarks?

Tobago Wyck’s line of soy wax candles offers a refreshing sensory experience that captures the essence of Tobago. Light up their Nostalgic Nylon Pool and be transported to the striking blue-green waters with fragrances of tropical fruits, berries, and exotic flowers. Or, you can pay a visit to the Majestic Moriah Mountains which features an earthy blend of white birch, cedar, and spice, and envision the classic Ole Time Wedding.

The Tea Vault

The Tea Vault

It’s no secret that drinking tea is good for you.

It’s not just a comforting way to start the day or unwind, it also comes with many organic benefits for the body and soul.

In the Caribbean, we have the added luxury of being surrounded by so many plants, trees, and fruit which make it easier to make and enjoy delectable sips. From coconut to chai, there are so many delectable types of tea to suit any palate.

Caribbean Teas

We’ve rounded up some of the most interesting flavours to try.

Between our diverse selection paired with the numerous artisanal cups and mugs, you have more than enough to create your very own tea shop right at home!

Infused Blends

If you’re the type that likes your teas naturally infused with varying flavours, LCJ Delights has got you covered. They offer a range of exotic tea blends that make possess extraordinary flavours but also carry their own health benefits.

For a spicy kickstart to the morning, their Turmeric Bay Leaf and Turmeric Ginger teas are both must-tries. Turmeric has been used for centuries as an anti-inflammatory spice in traditional and can help relieve nausea, aids circulation, boosts immunity, detoxify the body.

Sorrel fans won’t be able to get enough of the fruity, tart flavours of their (hibiscus) tea, infused with bay leaf. It’s delightful as a hot or cold drink, and the perfect caffeine-free pick-me-up. If you needed any more reasons to love hibiscus tea, it’s also an anxiety and stress relief remedy and improves boosts eye, heart gastrointestinal health.

Green Tea Blends

We know that green tea is the grandfather of all teas so why not enjoy it with a little tropical flavour? Teabago‘s eclectic range of loose leaf teas are some of the finest teas you will ever taste. Their Mango Coconut Green Tea features Japanese green tea blended with mango bits and shredded coconut. It’s been widely recommended to drink at least one cup of green tea a day for good health, but we think a double or even triple helping may

If you want something a little milder, their ChamBay Blend is the ticket. Made from Tobago Bay Leaf, Grenadian cinnamon, and Egyptian chamomile, it’s a fantastic aid for rest and relaxation, making it perfect for a nightcap before bed

If you’re thinking about embarking on a new tea-venture, you’ll be spoiled for delicious blends and bold flavours, all of which possess powerful advantages for your mind and body.

Disclaimer: While multiple studies have highlighted a correlation between drinking tea and the improvement of many conditions and overall health, you should still check with your doctor for guidance on treatment.

New to ShopCaribe.com: Limited Edition designs from Anya Ayoung Chee – Winner, Project Runway

roxanne.colthrust — Wed, 12 Jan 2022 20:27:04 +0000

We welcome designer – Anya Ayoung Chee to ShopCaribe.com with an exclusive Limited Edition collection. This eStore marks her return to designing a line of her own – one, she’s proud to say – is Made in Trinidad and Tobago.

Designer Anya Ayoung Chee in her signature Limited Edition – Ft. Greene Shirtdress with V-Back

Anya is a multi-facetted fashion designer who is the only Caribbean winner of the popular US television series, Project Runway. In Season 9 she wowed the judges and inspired millions with her Caribbean inspired resort wear collection. Anya has been designing since 2008 – as the T&T representative at the Miss Universe pageant in Vietnam, she had the opportunity to design some of her pageant wardrobe. In 2009, she launched her first collection Pilar, named after her younger brother.

A Limited Collection – Just for YOU!

Anya is passionate about living and working in her island home of Trinidad and turning logistical challenges into advantages. Sourcing fabrics in the Caribbean often means there is limited access to large quantities and a less than consistent supply. Anya’s business approach has been to deliberately produce small amounts of each new design. Certainly, this Limited Edition collection – allows each customer the commitment of knowing their purchase is exclusive.

By producing in Trinidad and Tobago, Anya has had the chance to work directly with the highly skilled practitioners who have been trained by her mentor and fellow Trinidadian designer, Meiling. Therefore the line is produced at the highest quality and attention to detail.

Anya’s love for her island and the Caribbean, has led her to a role in social activism, as co-founder and Director of The Together WI Foundation, which has been at the forefront of discussions, music creation and even protests about women’s rights and freedoms, art and activism.

An Entrepreneurial Mind

As an entrepreneur – her projects have been as chic and sophisticated as her designs. She is the co-founder and Design Strategist for social enterprise project – Nudge Caribbean, powered by Massy, where they grow interest in small, medium and micro enterprises with instore marketplaces – #MindfullyMade, #MicroisMighty. Anya has also opened and managed a co-working space called HOME; an avant garde – totally local boutique called Exhibit A and a spectacular café – HOME Cafe in Trinidad.

Additionally, in the last seven years, her love for Carnival was channeled into designing for the largest band in the Caribbean – Tribe. She has also been a co-creative director of The Lost Tribe in its inaugural year. She simultaneously developed the brand, cANYAval, an e-commerce site that sold “Monday Wear” and produced Carnival costumes for LA, Toronto, Barbados and Jamaica, in addition to creating Carnival-inspired events in various cities in the Caribbean and US. This experience is allowing her to segue into her newest venture, Wyldflower.

ShopCaribe proudly welcomes the Anya Ayong Chee – Limited Edition Shop to our ecommerce platform. We look forward to a dynamic fruitful relationship.

I came across an opportunity to purchase a jewelry business in Ireland that felt like fate. I found the listing for the shop in a private group for jewellers in the UK that I hardly ever open because I don’t live in the UK. I couldn’t believe my eyes. The only thing missing from this post were the words – Dear Jade.

“Off we Go!”

Delightful Jewellery Shop in Ireland

Twenty years ago, I visited this same town in Ireland, and now two decades later, is this incredible life-changing possibility. I LOVE art. I LOVE making jewelry. And I love being devoted to customers and customer service. I feel a deep connection to the current owners – they have loved and nurtured this shop for 20 years, and I know I am the person to love and nurture it for another 20 or more. I enjoy working hard and making a difference!

Beautiful shop and the owners have even put up a photo of Jade – the New Owner.

I know I have to do whatever it takes to be the one to answer the call of taking over this biz.

To make her wish come through – Please contribute to the GoFundMe account at https://gf.me/u/yd6pka
