The problem with interviewing such fabulous local designers like Cash and Cream is I end up leaving the interviews with new clothes I probably don’t need! That being said, I am so happy with these cute outfits I got from the girls! Their stuff fits perfectly, its super edgy and sexy and I love the […]

Cash and Cream
A few weeks after starting Chicpeajc, a former co-worker sent me a flyer to a Cash and Cream event at The Dopeness. I was unable to attend but immediately checked out their website. I absolutely adored their clothes! Cash and Cream is edgy, fierce and sexy and they have amazing pieces that would look good […]
The Big Hair Girls and a Chicpea
Once upon a time, there was a little Chicpea sitting on a bench on a beautiful summer day in a wonderful town called Jersey City. Chicpea was a young mom and she was happy as can be, but wanted to do something different; daring, something that would allow her to feel free. She closed her […]
Tea NJ
I recently went to TeaNJ to meet my new friend Dennis from Damaged Wear for lunch. For weeks I’ve been wanting to go try out their food! As some of you may know I try my best not to eat meat and TeaNJ is very vegan/vegetarian friendly (but they have plenty of options for carnivores […]
Mr AbiLLity
The day I made the decision to leave my job of 7 years to pursue my passions, on my way home I decided to take a little detour. I needed time to reflect, to think about my life and whether or not leaving my job was the right decision (I also really wanted an ice […]
Joshh Ayala – JC’s California Boy
Months ago, I started following Joshh on Instagram; I just loved his style, his cool gear and his adorable selfies… Upon further investigation I found out he just moved here from California and was also a musician..

Happy 100th Post!!
Monday night when I posted my piece about Damaged wear, I looked up at my post count and saw the number go from 98 to 99…. I couldn’t believe it! I decided for today I would do a fun re-cap of my posts! CHICpeaJC is only 10 weeks old and I am so proud of it’s […]
Damaged Wear
The first time I saw Damaged Wear was at the Project Earth Market a few months ago when I just started ChicpeaJC. After seeing the “I F*&ing Love Jersey City” design I remember thinking to myself “How fucking cool is that T-shirt?!” and I needed to find out the backstory. Fast forward to a few […]
CHICpeaJC Hip Hop Dance Party
A couple of weeks ago I was toying with the idea of throwing a hip hop dance party. It was the day I decided to leave my job of 7 years in the tech field to pursue CHICpeaJC full time and other projects. I felt like I needed a big bash to celebrate this new […]

As I write this, I am sitting on my couch with my jean button undone and a container of tums…. I have major “itis” but it was totally worth it!! For days I have been counting down to The Jersey City Project Eats event…. and it exceeded my expectations. The food was incredible and the […]
Chris Zurich
One day I got a friend request on Facebook from Chris Zurich….That same night while riding my Bridgitte I heard someone yelling out “Hey, Chicpea”, and it was Chris! After chatting with him for 5 minutes I knew we would be friends, he is a super down to earth guy, with an adorable smile. A week […]
Roland Burks
A few months ago, I went to 660 Studios to interview some of the citizens of this weird arts space craft. While interviewing and checking the place out, I heard a faint voice singing opera. A few thoughts crossed my mind; a) Great now I am hearing voices, b) I really need to get some sleep, […]
Dance Till the World Ends
This is not exactly a gangsta hip hop song but it does get the people moving and that is all that matters. Good ol’ Britney Spears…. I really love this dance, its easy yet gets that heart rate up… When I teach this song in class I feel like I am in a rave, minus […]

Savage Habbit
Every time I walk down the street and see any kind of street art, I always wonder who is behind it and what the story is. After interviewing my first Street Artist Sean Lugo, I found out about Savage Habbit; A Street art blog that is behind 10 or so murals in Jersey City. Savage […]
Birthday Girl Styles
In about 3 hours I will be 31 years old. It’s not exactly a milestone birthday, but it is for me…. Last year when I turned 30, Mia was still just a little baby and I was in that mommy bubble. This year I feel like I’ve grown so much, like I sort of found […]
The Hamilton Inn
Ever since I moved to Jersey City 4 years ago, The Hamilton Inn has always been a staple restaurant that I either end up at or tell people to go to. It’s a place that you know you will have a great meal, a fun time, service with a smile, good drinks…. I can go on. […]
