🔥🌶️ @mysticjohnnyra came ready to test the heat—but was Johnny ready for Mama Maisa’s award-winning St. Croix Fire?

Johnny stopped by our booth at the 2026 West Indian American Day Parade in Brooklyn to taste the pepper sauce featured on Hot Ones Caribbean. His live reaction said it all:

🔥 “That’s that fire!”
🔥 “It goes straight to the nostril!”
🔥 “But the flavor followed after that!”

That’s what we mean by flavor first—bold Caribbean flavor followed by unforgettable heat!

Think you can handle St. Croix Fire? Tag someone who needs to take the challenge, follow @mamamaisas, and share this reel!

🦪 Mama Maisa’s Pepper Sauce is also the exclusive pepper sauce sponsor of @rawleighoysterfest! Come out on November 7, 2026, support a great cause, and sample our award-winning pepper sauce for FREE!

Two cruise visitors got into serious trouble in the water at Sapphire Beach today •• and what happened next is something I will never forget

I watched them for 15–20 minutes as they moved farther around the peninsula and toward a section of sharp rocks where the waves were breaking hard

I kept calling out to see if they were okay

Eventually, I heard the words:

“She’s hurt •• we need help”

I put my camera down and ran for assistance

Construction workers nearby responded immediately with rope, boots and absolutely no hesitation

They went into the water and helped bring both swimmers safely back in

Afterward, we learned the woman was pregnant

I asked her to please go directly to the medical team on her cruise ship and get checked for both her sake and the baby’s

This is also an important reminder for anyone visiting St. Thomas or swimming in unfamiliar waters:

Beautiful does not always mean safe

Those rocky areas offshore can look inviting, but there may be no safe exit •• sharp coral •• sea urchins •• strong wave action •• and conditions that can change faster than you expect

Sometimes the reason nobody is swimming to a beautiful little rocky outcrop is because you are not supposed to be there

Please respect the ocean •• respect the island •• and respect what you don’t know

And most of all today •• enormous gratitude to the construction workers who acted immediately and helped make sure this story had a good ending

I truly hope they get the recognition they deserve ❤️
