The History of Carnival
Carnival has been celebrated in Jamaica for over 25 years. Research into the his-tory of the revelry reveals that the tradi-tion dates back hundreds of years to the Catholic religion. In Italy, a costume festival dubbed “carnevale” was customarily held on the day before Lent which translates to “put away the meat” as Catholics were not supposed to consume meat during Lent. For Caribbean people, our roots in carni-val stems from ancient African traditions of parading and moving in circles through vil-lages in costumes and masks. This practice was believed to bring good fortune, healing and appease angry relatives who had died and passed into the next world.
wi ready!
Against the lush backdrop that is the hills of St. Andrew, the Hope Zoo played host to our photoshoot with Jamila Crosskill who breathed life into the “carnival animal” theme. Outfitted in Bachannal Jamaica’s Digicel costume and dolled up by makeup partner, The Face Place we explored the Zoo and captured magical moments.

Where did you spend your best weekend ever and why was it awesome?Best weekend ever is hard for me to choose one...but...I’d probably have to say the weekend my daughter was born. Is that cheesy?! Lol...sorry to be mushy.
What are your best weekend spots across the world and why?My very fave would be in Capetown, South Africa...a place called Mzoli’s! All the barbeque you can imagine, feel good music and good vibes. Venice, Italy, stunning sightseeing. An island getaway/resort ex-perience is always good too.
What are some places you would recommend as weekend activities and spots in Jamaica?I’m always down for a road trip! Dolphin Cove and Chukka Tours have some of my favourite experiences. Any of the waterfalls are always a great choice. At the end of the day, once my loves are with me wherever we choose to go, the experience is memorable.
What Is your carnival fitness routine?To be honest my motivation to work out hasn’t fully returned yet, but I tried to get in a workout at least 3 days of the week doing a mix of cardio and weight training, yoga and kickboxing. Outside of that, lifting the little one is great for chiseled arms :)
When and where was your best carnival experience? Why was this the best one?My best carnival experience was my very first Trinidad carnival in 2004. It was like nothing I had ever experienced before; the music, festivities, energy was just surreal and surpassed all ex-pectations . To do it is to know it and love it.
What would be your ideal weekend bucket list?My “weekend bucket list” pretty much happens all the time. I LOVE to LIVE life to the fullest! Beach, good company, unlim-ited food, sightseeing are always on my list...but for it to happen in The Seychelles or Australia would be superb.
trendycarnival face!
The days when a dash of glitter and some lipstick were enough to complement your costume are long gone. Carnival makeup has evolved and more and more the trend calls for bolder looks that include rhinestones, feathered lashes, air-brushed designs and dramatic colors.
This year, the Face Place has partnered with Pure Country to offer distinctive carnival makeup packages ranging upwards from $4000 with optional add-ons. Early bird specials expire today --- so reach out to them via 929-8356 to get dolled up!
When the revelry is all done, your body deserves a pick-me-up that the Face Place can afford you. You deserve it. Highly recommended.

Scissor kicksWorks: lower absLie back keeping your shoulders 10 inches off the floor, and your legs extended, heels just off the floor. Do alternate successive leg raises, at the highest point your leg should form a 45 degree angle with the floor and at the lowest your heels remain just off the floor.
Burpees Works: abs, pecs, triceps, back and quads, glutesStart in a crouched position with your hands on the floor and then jump your legs back into a high plank, immediately return to the crouch and then leap up as high as possible. That completes one burpee.
Push up jacksWorks: full bodyBegin in a high push up position and jump the feet apart as you bend your elbows into a pushup, as you push back up, jump the feet back together.
With carnival in only two days, there isn’t much more you can do for your ‘carnival body’, but if there was, these would be the ideal exercises to get your body ‘ready for di road’ -- courtesy of Firm Fitness.
