Real Talk. Real Advice. Real Reasons to Celebrate!
Hey everybody, I’m Chef Jamika Pessoa – and welcome to my party! For a long time, I’ve dreamed of creating a fun space free of judgement for us to connect, share, learn about each other, be ourselves and live our best life! That’s why I’m so excited to share with you my new blog Conversations, Cocktails & Confetti! It feels great when we get to celebrate our “big successes”– but I’ve learned that every day brings something worth celebrating – and what better way to celebrate life – than to party together! So kick back – pour a Chef Jamika cocktail and let’s get this party started!
New Year, New Do! Lose Those Stubborn Pounds for Good!
We are delighted to add our newest plus one to the party, Miss Stella Noelle. Words can’t describe how elated I am to be a new mom again, but between quarantining and pregnancy I’ve managed to gain an extra 60 pounds of love! Yes, I know, I know… don’t judge me! Adding a new baby […]
The Holidays Are Still Happening!
Now, it’s no surprise that your holidays are going to look a little different this year, but that doesn’t mean they have to be any less festive and exciting! Maybe you’re only entertaining immediate family, ya’ know, the ones you’ve been cooped up with these last nine months. Maybe you have to spend this time […]
Don’t Skip the Skele-Fun!
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays! I mean, what’s not to love about it? I get to eat sweet treats, dress up, and buy a new wig. I love it! Moreover, there’s this great feeling of nostalgia that comes along with Halloween and for many, it’s hard to kick its traditions to the curb, […]
Getting Fall-Ready!
This fall season will be unlike any that I’ve ever experienced and I’m ready to make the most of the opportunity to switch things up. We’ve always had the same flavor and color palettes to look forward to each fall, but since things are a bit unfamiliar and new, why not stick with the trend? […]
Making Happiness Happen

I’m right there with you. I’ve found that during times like these you have to make intentional, on-purpose efforts to find your […]
@ChefJamika Newsletter! July Highlights
It’s July folks! Whew! Can you believe we’re halfway through the year? I hope you’re staying safe and being smart out there. I’ve been doing my part, wearing my mask in public, and washing my hands. You know, the usual. As for that social distancing thing…I’ve done my best, but my best wasn’t good enough. […]

Get Your Summer Groove Back!
I know you’ve been in quarantine and have missed a few visits to the salon. If you’re anything like me, you may be growing restless. I love to change my hair all of the time so I have to admit that, as I was bored at home, I tried to channel my inner-hair stylist. While […]
