Before starting ChicpeaJC, I was the poster child of health. Working out 5 times a week, eating an extremely healthy diet (I was a vegetarian for a year) sleeping 8-10 hours a night, drinking a ton of water… you get the point. When I started blogging my healthy habits went right out the door. I […]
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 […]
The Brunswick Center- A Place of Wellness and Education
Brunswickcenter.com I first checked out the Brunswick Center when I went for my butt-whooping training session at IronPlate Studios with lady boss Kristin. She gave me a quick tour of the center which I never really heard of prior to this visit. The Brunswick Center is a place dedicated to Wellness and Health and there […]
Hideaway!
Happy Wednesday friends. It’s been a while since my last dance video post and since we are all getting in shape for the summer I wanted to share one of my favorite summer jams. It’s not very “hip hoppy” but it’s a really fun choreography, inspired by the actual Kesza “Hideaway” video. Hope you enjoy! […]
Food Revolution Day with Bambino Chef
When I am not stuffing my face with pizza or burgers for blog posts, I eat extremely healthy. I’ve always been a huge advocate for healthy and clean eating and I try my best to always incorporate real and whole foods in my family’s diet. A week ago I ran into Rene, aka Bambino Chef […]
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 […]
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 […]
Yoga in the Heights
I heard about Yoga in the Heights over the summer when they were having classes at the Riverview Farmers Market. The idea of doing a class outside in a park with the most incredible view sounded amazing to me… I was not able to try it out so when Stephanie and Bridget invited me to […]
THE SPORTS BARRE
I am a fitness fiend and ever since I can remember I’ve been on a quest for that perfect tush. That is why for months now I’ve been waiting for The Sports Barre to open…. I met Jacey and Danielle a few months ago, and we had a fun boozy lunch at Marco and Pepe. They […]
Whealth
As some of you may know, I like to try and eat vegetarian 75% of the time. I am not strict about it or anything but I go through times where I feel like I’ve indulged a little too much and need to reset my body… which was the case after the holidays. I posted […]
Top 10 Places to Shop & Eat Healthy in Jersey City
The gyms and yoga studios are packed, the veggie aisles in the grocery stores are filled with people holding avocados yet looking at the gummy bear stand right next to it…. I see you guys! It’s January and everyone is starting fresh, looking to get fit in time for spring season. Nutrition and Fitness has […]
A Staycation at Base NJ
As all moms can attest, it is very difficult to take time for ourselves…between work, appointments, groceries, daycare, entertaining the kids, cooking etc… it’s no surprise that moms end up burning out or freaking out! Which I sort of did… since I started ChicpeaJC I haven’t really taken any time for myself and I recently almost […]
Goods & Greens
Goods & Greens is an awesome spot, if I lived closer to the Hamilton Park area, I would pretty much eat and shop here everyday… or at least come say hi to Paul my new best friend. This post was at first intended to be the normal run of the mill “Eats” write-up about this […]
Bambino Chef- Guest Post!
I have been a huge fan of Bambino chef since they first opened in Jersey City. Bambino chef teaches kids between the ages of 4-12 how to cook, healthy eating, creativity , focus, concentration and an appreciation for food…. most importantly they have a blast doing it! When you walk into Bambino chef you immediatly […]
Balls of Spartan
This weekend we participated in the Spartan Sprint Race in Tuxedo NY (post coming soon!), and instead of packing nutrition/protein bars that have a list of 1000 ingredients …. I decided to make these Raw Vegan Energy Balls. There are many variations for this recipe online but I basically use what I have in the […]
