WELCOME CONTENTS
It’s that time of year again; jingle bells are ringing, Santa’s finishing up his naughty list, the elves are hard at work making toys. A time of deep reflection, food, family friends and our personal favourite, parties. We the Sleek team have been hard at work all year round, bringing to you the most upto-date trends, events and the lifestyle Jamaica and the region has to offer. Yes, the days are still as hot as July, but it’s Christmas! But not as hot as our cover feature Kimberly, we had to cool things down with sultry singing sensation RR, and keep it well shampoo with Ding Dong. We extend our warmest wishes and a happy healthy new year. Remember to have fun Be SLEEK.
