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!

Don’t Skip the Skele-Fun!

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? […]
