"The squeaky wheel gets the oil/grease." Tonight was a beautiful dining experience at La Mesa in the Rodney Bay Marina, St.Lucia. After a productive day which started off in the gym followed by managing a lovely retail business for an amazing 4 star resort in the paradise island of Saint Lucia, dinner with a friend/business partner was tremendously appreciated at the end of my day! 🍷 The chef, of Venezuelan descent, was personal and talented. He took time to explain the menu offerings, personalize them and humbly received feedback. The photos speak for themselves: Delectable and beyond satisfactory! The best steak on island! You could literally taste the natural flavor of the meat and the infused seasonings and sauces. The wine selected, "Guv'nor" a beautiful red wine which originates from Spain was an excellent choice. They carry a vast range of some of the the world's best wines and rims, including the best of the best! Wine by the bottle didn't leave us looking for our eager young servers. The manager of the restaurant, Marco is a friendly and professional gentleman who is hands-on and joins his team even in the basic aspects of F&B service. I've said enough. Simply put, when in Saint Lucia, don't deny yourself of a lovely seaside dining experience which would leave you sitting for hours in the restaurant without staring at your phone or wondering what time you should leave. The bonus is value for money when seeing the bill! Your only regret is when planning dinner would be not TREATING yourself and someone special to a quality dining experience at La Mesa. - Endorsed by Jay #LaMesa #Dinner #Food #Foodie #Travel #Blog #Camera #Caribbean #Steak #Marina #StLucia #Camera #Wine #Dessert #Boats #Friends #Business #Health #Restaurants #Happy #Writer #Shopping #Wanderlust #Island (at La Mesa) https://www.instagram.com/jamiedolcy/p/BxL2YSuhWRo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ts9m1onc8596

Confident men don't mind showing the progress as opposed to the "final" social media approved package. 😉

If you are missing or loving Saint Lucia this video is for you. If you are dreaming of an amazing and much needed vacation this video is also for you. Seen in this video is Petit Piton, the smaller of the island's two world-reknowned heritage sites and also the deepest harbor in the Caribbean. Quite often you would find locals backflipping and swimming in this exact location! Magnificent isn't it? My grandpa (Daddy's father) Carlos Dusauzay and my granny (Mummy's mother) Catherine Degazon Modeste are both originally born raised in this volcanic town which is overflowing with culture, heritage, history, adventure and soul! ⛵🌏🏝️🏹🚣🧘🌴 #Soufriere #Vacation #Holiday #Piton #Caribbean #Boats #Sailing #Fishing #Birds #Hiking #Volcano #People #Family #Culture #History #Story #JaysWonderland #Swimming #Adventure #Wanderlust #Nature #Travel #Insta #Happy #Peace #Photography #Beach #Music #Game (at Soufrière, Saint Lucia) https://www.instagram.com/jamiedolcy/p/Bu1pvddhY9s/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16fg0p9xr9aho

I always say that I firmly believe my country Saint Lucia is not JUST a country which has given me a nationality, but a bouillon! A bouillon of culture and diversity. Rich in art, lifestyle, entertainment and people of soul so deeply rooted we trample on the flames of Hell when we walk and see what angels are having to eat in Heaven! 🇱🇨 40 years of independence . We've come so far and have such a long way to go. Let's focus on the journey while keeping the destination in mind. February 22nd ,1979 is the date of soil coverage.🇱🇨 This aspect of last evenings festivities, a snippet seen in my video, was filled with bountiful talent, invested effort, resources rarely seen finally obtained and sacrificed time unseen,yet seen through the results of the production. I appreciated it! 🇱🇨 A performance worthy of being recorded and replayed in movie theaters, schools, TV stations etc. for generations to come in celebration of our people, for the people is the nation. 🇱🇨 #SaintLucia #StLucia #Art #Dance #Music #Theatre #Culture #Independence #Costumes #Caribbean #Africa #French #British #India #Amerindian #Story #Movie #Soul #Act #Kids #Veterans #JaysWonderland #Grammy #Hollywood https://www.instagram.com/p/BuLsfIjh1nf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=199l1e6g4mloj

"Take care of YOU because your job will be posted online before your obituary." 🏝️ Week #4 of trying. Trying to be consistent. Trying to eat better consistently. Sleep, exercise, care for self even more CONSISTENTLY. 10 months of not exercising followed by 4 weeks of effort. I'm happy with my efforts. Who'd know I have been kicking the ass of a lateral form of scoliosis? 🏖️ My smile has a 6 pack. I have a ripped smile. A beach body is whatever body I bring to the gym. The most flavorful meat has a little extra fat on it! Embrace your self, fat, skinny, ripped...as you strive towards becoming your better self. Forget the image of good looks that is portrayed in the media. Curves and abs are made in the kitchen. Happiness is a key to success. 🧭🌋 #FitFam #MelaninPoppin #Grind #Diet #Fitness #Effort #Cooking #Sweat #Health #Peace #Wanderlust #Travel #JaysWonderland #BoatLover #BlackMen #Kalinago #Caribbean #Creole #Piercing #Gym #Forbes #Smile #Paradise #Food #Recipes #NatureLover #Adventure #Writing #Inspiration (at St. Lucia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtqxT6qhK2f/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1f0tzphqyfpck

Did you know the most flavorful meat comes with a little extra fat on it, even prior to seasoning? 🥩 Add a little colour in your life with increased laughter, smiles and peace of mind. Watch life transform even when you think nothing is going right. Give time some time. 🐛 My third week exercising within a gym after spending the past 10 months eating, sleeping... eating some more and just keeping myself together. It looks promising. 🏆 Forget about taking before and after photos. Focus on the during and current. Focus on the time after you started and felt like giving up and how far you've come. Capture your quitting point because getting passed it is even harder than starting and then each conquering point (After you overcome each hurdle). I still eat chocolate, even before starting gym! It's called a balanced diet dammnit! Life is too short.😁 💐 Jamiedolcy.com is the blog address! #Fitness #Health #Gym #Exercise #Diet #Floral #Flowers #Caribbean #Meat #Chocolate #Laugh #Smile #Cooking #Food #Wanderlust #Motivation #Sports #Sunny #Melanin #JaysWonderland https://www.instagram.com/p/BtRq_Q1B_2t/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=h4s99jwi564s

Lightly seasoned garlic butter potatoes and carrots, vegetables and chicken liver with French baguette for breakfast. 🦚 It starts from the inside. Eating strictly fruits and vegetables doesn't work for everyone regarding weight loss. Basically we're all different. Learn what works best for you. What worked for the past 6 months may not work in the 7th month. 🦈 No one should be able to steal a smile off your face. If they do, it should be a copied and paste experience for them. 😁 🍍 May your energy shake up the vibes in a room when you walk into it. Let people wonder daily why you keep prospering regardless of the odds against you.

It's more affordable to eat healthy than it is to pay frequent medical bills. Learn your body. Abs are made in the kitchen. Abs aren't always symbols of great health so don't beat yourself up if you don't look like you have a beach body. Care for yourself from the inside out. A beach body is whatever body you bring to the beach 😁😉 Breakfast: Home made cucumber salad made with fresh local cucumber. Mixed vegetables including mushroom (All lightly flavored). Boiled eggs... Health is wealth. There is no price behind peace of mind. Always keep your resume updated. Always go to bed with a smile on your face and peace in your heart. Don't think twice about making a decision that's best for your well-being. - Jay Jamiedolcy.com #Health #Breakfast #Menu #Recipe #Eggs #Vegetables #Sausages #Fitness #Peace #Cooking #Food #Foodie #InstaFood #Beach #Abs #Jobs #Motivation #Happy #MenWhoCook #Kitchen https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs_NvlFBQYY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lf6rkyeaxnzs

Sometimes it's only because of your smile. The way you make $1 go a mile and their $1000 goes just around the corner. 🏝️ The way your lips pronounces praise and peace instead of complaints. The way you dance in storms instead of cry about rain. The way your cheeks stay round during famine instead of getting bony. 🏝️ The way you stand tall when most would be on their knees. The way you give thanks and praise when brought to your knees instead of crying for mercy. 🏝️ Sometimes it's not because of you, but because of the mark seen in you brought about by the God in you. - Jay 🏝️ #Hotels #TheLandings #Boats #Coconuts #Beach #Peace #Motivation #Lips #Smile #Rain #God #Paradise #Wanderlust #Motivation #Inspiration #Happy #Adventure #Hiking #Art #Photography #Nature #Island #Backpacking #Travel #JaysWonderland #Writing (at St. Lucia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs9wfHjBJBS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18ala267mg28w

Day 4 at gym after 10 months of eat, sleep and recuperate. 💐 Sometimes it's because you've come from the same place or worst and have achieved breakthrough. Sometimes it's because you chose to hang on just a little bit longer and got a little bit further. 🍍 Sometimes it's because you chose to walk away. Sometimes it's because you chose to keep on fighting. Sometimes it's because the plots just didn't work against you. Sometimes it's because you're still alive when they hoped you'd be 6ft under. 🍾 Sometimes it's because they were forced to give you a round of applause with the same hands they dreamed of choking you with. Sometimes it's because what they thought would be your final destination happened to be your point of elevation. - Jay. 🏝️ #Fitness #Gym #Smile #Health #Blog #InstaFood #InstaGym #InstaHappy #InstaPeace #StLucia #JaysWonderland #Melanin #Exercise #Diet #Afro #Writer #Motivation #Inspiration #Quotes #Poems https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs6xQ9khFZg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1720y37pbjxho

The Devil? He sits in the first pew in the church. He sings the loudest. He knows all the words: No hymnal required. He is the first to give his testimony. He has the largest Bible. He always gives a beautiful donation for offering. He wears the most attractive Sunday best with heels, red lipstick and make up or even the finest suits. He keeps the sabbath holy too! The Devil? Yes! The Devil! ...and let the church say, "Amen!" 🍍 🍍 If a prostitute walked into your church(Regardless of denomination), right up to the first pew to sit, with her garments from the night before, what would be the congregations' reactions? What about a vagrant in rags or a drunkard still holding a bottle? Or even a drag queen in costume? What would YOU do to change negative reaction or motivate them to come listen to the gospel preached? Listen, not to change them into the ideal persons society seeks to mould based on perspective of what is acceptable, but into souls that can inspire across the board, transform lives and flourish spiritually! Or simply to be happ-IER! ...human nature? ManKIND or manCRUEL? 🏖️ 🏖️ Some of the most amazing, admirable and life enhancing people I've met are the square pegs in round holes, misfits, plain cakes among cheesecakes, smiling instead of crying at a funeral folks. 🌹 I captured this lovely photo around the corner from my home in Gros Islet, Saint Lucia! 🌻 🌻 #Devil #Church #Bible #Pray #Lipstick #Sabbath #MakeUp #Fashion #Style #Art #Photography #Prostitute #Drag #Sea #Beach #Island #Coconuts #Sunday #Music #Waves #Boats #Gospel #Bars #Fish #Travel #Cake #Depression #Suicide (at St. Lucia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BskwEYphA2Q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11wgfs661oyko

Do you remember? . . Do you remember the days of playing in the rain with friends and family? Going down to the river to catch river fish or crayfish? Or just to chill? Have a swim? . . Do you remember when we had "time on our hands" when almost every one of our friends would most likely show up because our schedules matched? No need for picnic hampers. Just pick up stones to send at mangoes,climb the trees or pick fruits off the floor? . . Do you remember the days when we'd hike to get to the beach, roast almonds at the seaside and we'd return home with a catch to cook? Sending stones across the sea to see...how many times the rocks could bump on the surface and we'd feel like stars? . . The times when days like today would never seem possible and life at that time was more carefree, yet worrisome of the future? Of not being where we currently are? Have we gained more than we expected,yet loss the unlimited free and joyous spirit of children in the process? Re-awaken that spirit and watch your life as it becomes...abundant! My smile has a six pack! My smile is ripped and so is my soul! - Jay Pic captured in Bermuda last summer! #Friends #Family #River #Beach #Fishing #Fruits #Games #Play #Cooking #Adventure #Dreams #Island #SaintLucia 🇱🇨 #Bermuda #Travel #Inspiration #Motivation #Happy #Melanin #Kalinago #Life #Wanderlust #Rivers https://www.instagram.com/p/BsegGCEBXgG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11a504afa7jk4
