You Can Be Like Any Fit and Healthy Celebrity!
Celebrities like Khloe Kardashian and others, have proven that hard work at the gym and setting goals can get you on the fit lane.
You sit there, reading all those celeb stories and scrolling through countless social media celeb feeds, reading about their fitness regimens and saying to yourself, “yeah, I should do that!”… but have you?
Globally, health is a matter of tremendous concern and of course, albeit with the social state of mind we’ve all developed, one would be crazy not to take note of the celebs and how they’re hitting the gym and eating right to show off their perfect bods to the millions that take in their profile pics daily. Then again, you could just do it for YOU! That seems like a better plan.
Now, we totally understand the challenge being fit poses to many of you hard working career people out there. It’s tough. When you’ve got kids, housework, a career and meetings… who’s got time to exercise and prepare well balanced meals right? Well most recently, a company that calls itself Anatomie, reissued its call to Caribbean people, from its base in T&T, to get fit and use its online resources to their advantage. A couple Saturdays ago, Anatomie launched its website- www.anatomiett.com, and by the look of it, they’re committed to helping West Indians get fit, eat healthy and live longer.

The online resource offers, “a comfortable, convenient, accurate, variated, and simple solution to your wellness goals,” according to company spokesperson, Derron Roberts. He told EBUZZTT the Anatomie website is home to a wide range of articles, locally produced exercise videos, features, promotions, and a state of the art Nutrition System that recommends local and Caribbean cuisine through its menu planning. “The nutrition system calculates and managers individual’s required calories and macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, fats) on an individual goal(s) and activity level basis,” Roberts told us.
Now, if you think that’s it. Think again! Anatomie is becoming well known for Smoothies… yes, delicious, healthy smoothies. With it’s roving caravan, Anatomie smoothies moves from corporate functions or events to sports and family days, wellness events and leisure activities. They’ve got over 20 originally developed recipes that are made from real fruits and other liquids and ingredients.
A number of Caribbean celebrities have, in recent time, been motivating their fans to get fit and eat healthy. Trinidad and Tobago’s Nadia Batson, Destra Garcia, Patrice Roberts, Fay Ann Lyons, model and former Miss World representative, Athaliah Samuel are just a few. According to Batson, who recently joined forces with Nestle’s Orchard Calorie Conscious, its all about becoming the healthiest person she can become, for herself. The sex appeal just happens to be a bonus! Nestle too, has been pushing wellness and health, launching the calorie conscious orchard product in November 2015, and assuring that the new orange juice drink assists with weight management and overall health and wellness.

Le Brunch, The Most Stylish Event Takes Place in East Trinidad, This Independence Weekend.
The stage is set for the Independence Day weekend in Trinidad and Tobago, and one of the most anticipated events is going down in East Trinidad. Phenomenal Events Studio’s Natasha Noreiga tells Ebuzztt, the Centre of Excellence in Macoya is the place to be on Sunday, August 30th for Le Brunch. This year’s theme is Pastel Luxè and she’s encouraging attendees to come out as stylishly as they can, in hues of pastel, perfectly suited to the experience they’re guaranteed.
In 2026, Noreiga is delivering the fifth installment of the event, and according to the masterful event coordinator and director, she’s all about the theme. “This all started in 2019. I wanted to create a space that people could come out, stylishly dressed and have a great time together,” she explained, highlighting that initially, the event encouraged attendees to bring their favorite bottle of liquor. In this year’s staging of the event however, Natasha said everyone will enjoy a Premium drinks-inclusive bar at Le Brunch. “Bottles are not allowed this time around. Premium drinks will be available to everyone,” she assured, adding that two chefs will be on hand serving up sumptuous brunch cuisine. “We’re having food catered this year by Chef Akim, with grilling being done by Rustic House.”
Le Brunch has presented amazing experiences to loyal patrons over the past few years. “The event was initially hosted at Jenny’s Ranch in Arima, and then I hosted it at a private residence in Cunupia. In 2025, we hosted a boat ride,” said Noreiga. She said the themes have gone from shades of pink to a Safari theme and last year aboard the boat, attendees came out in shades of blue.
This year’s pastel theme will likely be a vision at The Centre of Excellence in Macoya, and coupled with the decor this event coordinator is preparing, those who’ve already purchased tickets are certainly in for a treat. “Every year people are eager about the theme. They are always excited to find out what the theme of the event is, and I consider myself a theme specialist so I go all the way out,” said Natasha. Her experience in coordinating and hosting weddings, anniversary parties, birthdays and other events, offer the assurance to patrons that they’re in good hands.
Early bird tickets which were $350, now sold out, Natasha told Ebuzztt that a few $400 Golden Petal tickets are still available. “The event starts at 4pm and ends at 9pm with a cast of amazing DJs inclusive of Sensational Sammy, Ken Simmons and Jon Boi, DJ Five Star, Whitney Husbands and DJ Charlotte, brothers DJ Brendan and Christian and hosted by Mr. Voice. We’re gonna have a great time,” said the event expert who stands on 25 years experience.
How She Catered to Customers.
In what some have described as a tough economy, Natasha Noreiga took no chances and began promoting her event back in March. “Tickets were available from April because I knew the July/August months would be dedicated to back to school shopping. I wanted to give people enough time to plan,” she explained, noting that in the East, promoters work together to ensure dates are free and accessible to each other. “The Independence weekend is also my birthday so this year Le Brunch will be very special,” she said.
Fans of the event who’ve been loyal annually, look forward to the rich and vibrant atmosphere, coupled with the comfort of familiarity. “A lot of people often say it’s like a reunion – they get to see people they haven’t seen in a long time and they mingle freely and comfortably,” said Noreiga. She prides herself on being able to create such an atmosphere, encouraging younger patrons to be a part of the community as well. “The demographic is mature but we do have pockets of younger people coming into the fold,” she said.
This year, the Brix Hotel will sponsor prizes for the Best Dressed Male and Female patrons. “This is definitely a dress-up event. People should come out as stylish as they can for a chance to win the prizes.”
With big teams inclusive of hospital and fire services staff, already having purchased their tickets, Natasha says a limited number of tickets are still available. “Persons can check out islandeticket.com, Sammy’s Rest Bar, Sa Lounge Fashions at East Gates Mall, Rustic House and Grill in Curepe, 212 Locations and Richard’s West Mall, for tickets. It’s going to be an event you don’t want to miss,” said Noreiga.
