Jen talks functional parenting

Monday, April 14, 2014    

'We are very divided down the mum-dad line!' The 41-year-old actress and mother-of-three spoke about duties she takes on and which ones Ben picks up.

The 41-year-old Garner wore a boho-chic outfit last Thursday during her New York City stroll, the morning after she said her husband has already taught their son Samuel, aged two, "about his P" and his two "N's" during her stint on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

Bar None: Inside J Wray & Nephew's new corporate office

Sunday, April 13, 2014    

The Bar — J Wray & Nephew has introduced a stylish new bar to the Kingston scene, featuring soaring ceilings, dramatic lighting and a self-aware use of scale throughout. Here, J Wray & Nephew executive Christine Wood coordinates her team for the official opening of the facility.

It makes perfect sense that the name behind one of the world's great rums would have a bar in its new corporate office. But this is no ordinary bar. And the bar is not where this story ends. In fact, the story began more than 180 years ago when John Wray opened the Shakespeare Tavern beside the Ward Theatre. That business evolved into one of the Caribbean's largest exporters-J Wray & Nephew Limited. Following several months of reorganization, propelled by the acquisition of its parent comp ... Read More

Knocking On Wood

SO spots an exquisite necklace, made of wood to boot, at Expo Jamaica 2014. It's created by the young, vivacious Lacey-Ann Bartley of Bartley's All In Wood. There's reason to learn more...lots more. My fascination with wood commenced... from as far back as I can remember. I grew up in my father's woodwork shop, where furniture 'off cuts', sawdust and tools were my toys. I spent all my free time with my dad and his staff learning the trade. Plus, I really love the smell of sawdust. I design w ... Read More

10 things You Must Stop Doing Today

What I love most about Carnival is that no matter how difficult my personal circumstances, I can count on it. No matter the troubles in my family, in my business, or in my life, I know there will be a celebration, every year. Celebration is central in strengthening our belief because it stems from both an appreciation of the past and the future. Everything we have in life comes because of our belief that they are possible and annual commemorations, like Carnival, help us. Yet, believing, espec ... Read More

Ethereal laser-cut acrylic lanterns.

It's two years since our first encounter with designer Dana Baugh, who was as apprehensive — "I've never put my work on display in such an open forum before" — as she was eager to gauge reactions to her first showing in Jamaica. In the hustle and bustle of last weekend's well-supported EXPO Jamaica 2014, Baugh is fielding questions from patrons eager to grasp her design concept. "It's a collection," she tells SO, "spawned by time spent with family on a not-so-perfect beach decorated ... Read More
