A few weeks ago, I was enlisted by the JCITFF to cover the red carpet and all the fun at their Summer blockbuster party. Now instead of just taking pictures, I reached out to NVRland Productions, the peeps who did my one year anniversary party video to help me out and make it a REAL […]

Another Man’s Treasure Turns 9!
Anyone who’s been following this blog or my social media knows that I am obsessed with local vintage Boutique Another Man’s Treasure. I can honestly say that 75% of the clothes I wear are from this shop! I even dedicated 2 weeks to the store as well as over a dozen “what I am wearing” […]
Top 5 Things to do this Weekend in Jersey City
Over 30 events are happening around Jersey City! Which for anyone can be overwhelming, where do you go? what do you do?! That being said, I am sitting this weekend out. I might go to one or two things but I am in need of an actual weekend (I am probably lying). Anyway, I figured […]
JCITFF Summer Blockbuster Party!
Last October, I attended the Jersey City Film Festival Opening night at Parlay Studios, it was the first time I ever got a Press pass and officially covered a local event with a red carpet and some of Jersey City’s coolest peeps. I had a blast! This sort of thing is so up my alley…. […]
Mini Weekend Roundup
Last weekend was a little intense…even for me. After covering what seemed to be around 1,000 different events for the Epic Jersey City weekend roundup, I needed an epic nap. This weekend, I decided to take it “easy” and chose 5 events that I wanted to hit up for myself, for the family and for […]
New Jersey Symphony Orchestra to Host FREE Concerts in Jersey City

This Saturday kicks off the Journal Square Green Market along with the 10th Annual Egyptian Festival in the Journal Square PATH Pavilion.

Epic Jersey City Weekend Roundup
I am not exactly sure how I even have the energy to write this weekend roundup post after covering like 2,803 different events while also being a human and mom…. with that being said, I would like to apologize in advance to the spelling and grammar police for this post. It might be a little […]
The Creative Culture
I have to start this post by saying at how humbled I am that people are actually interested in hearing about my journey and what I have to say about my work and how I do it all. Sub-City Junction invited me to take part of their first panel discussion, Redefining entrepreneurship: Navigating through unique career […]
Top 5 Things to do this Weekend in Jersey City!!
I am feeling very nostalgic, this weekend it will be a year since my first ever “weekend roundup” post. I think it was actually what cemented this whole blogging experience for me. I covered so many events I felt like my head would spin… I remember being so exhausted at the end of the weekend […]

A few weeks ago, Don Smartt, administrator for the Journal Square Special Improvement District, enlisted me to help spread the word about the 10th Annual Egyptian Festival happening Saturday June 13th in the Journal Square PATH Transportation Center Concourse, which starts at noon and will go till 10pm. I was so beyond excited to explore […]
Jersey City Bike Tour
Last year at the last-minute I joined the Jersey City Ward Tour and Festival, just a few days after I bought one of the loves of my life, “Bridgitte”. It was so much fun! The Bike tour is such a great way to see Jersey City, get a good workout and then afterwards party it […]

This Friday, June 5th is “JC Fridays”; which is a city wide celebration of the arts that happens a few times a year. It also happens to be the year anniversary to the first one I ever covered. Since then I’ve done 3 JC Fridays (I skipped one in the winter to catch up on […]
Central Ave Auto & Music Show
I grew up around car enthusiasts, my father used to own a car dealership for many years and I actually worked for a few others when I lived in Montreal. When David Diaz from the Central Ave Special Improvement district told me about the Auto Show I knew I needed to come check it out. […]
Riverview Farmers Market
Two weeks ago the Riverview Farmers kicked off in the Heights (sorry for not posting this sooner!!) It was an intense weekend for me as I covered around 10 Jersey City events in less than 2 days so I thought it would be nice to take the morning off and explore this wonderful farmers market […]
ChicpeaJC Turns One – Party Time
Last Friday ChicpeaJC turned one. It was the most insane/emotional/overwhelming day since I started my blogging career…I started my day at 5am and waited with much anticipation to post an interview I’ve been waiting for since I started; My article about Mayor Steven Fulop. After it was shared on social media and the storm had […]
Historic Downtown Farmers Market
Last Thursday was the official kick off of the Grove Street Farmers market season! For months I’ve been dreaming about the pickle dude, the fresh kale, Busy Bee’s nut butters and Grandma Downtown’s buns (and breads). It’s no secret that eating local fresh produce is by far the healthiest option, and it’s even better when […]
Spring Weekend Roundup Pt 2
A few days ago as I looked at the ChicpeaJC event calendar, I almost had an aneurism. Over 35 events listed!! I even said, on social media “Not covering events this weekend” but alas I couldn’t help myself. So many fun things happening and the nice weather just started. Has anyone invited a cloning machine […]
