With 2020 behind us, I am making plans to VACATION! I’m planning a little Portugal, Spain, France excursion. It’s still in the planning stages. What vacation plans are you making for 2021? Today I’m thanking labor unions for my paid vacations. In the 1900’s President Taft proposed 2-3 months of vacation for every American. Years after U.S. legislators disagreed, Unions came along and pushed for paid vacations. Unions are responsible for so many of the workers’ rights we enjoy today. Weekends off, FMLA, lunch breaks, and standardized 8-hour workdays are just a few of those rights. As someone who’s grown up with parents and grandparents in unions, I know first hand how vital they are. They’ve provided my family with good healthcare, fought for fair wages, work-life balance, and really quality retirement plans. All of it has afforded me not just the workers' rights I’ve enjoyed over the years, but the opportunities to have the life I lead today. Whether you are part of the union, considering joining one, or know someone in one, they deserve a thank you. All of their hard work on behalf of employees have shaped our daily lives. Thank you unions. To learn more about the benefits unions provide, check out @pswpu

Hi there. Welcome to all my new followers 🥳 Hey girl hey to those who’ve been here. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m Fenique, obviously 😂. I’m a Lifestyle Blogger & YouTuber. I’ll show you how to eat your best, look your best and live your best. Cuz you deserve! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love fashion and even majored in fashion marketing & merchandising in college. As for food: I’ve eaten #plantbased & #whole30. Many have come over from my @ffactor journey that I started back in 2018. You can read more about eachon my blog @chicinchocolate and watch #ffactor videos on my YouTube channel. The links to both are in my bio. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I absolutely love food. I want to eat chocolate and pizza til I pass out. I believe food can be nourishing and enjoyable. I also know every food isn’t good for my body. By my body I mean ME! I’m still struggling with accepting my lactose intolerance. Pasta with no cheese 🤨🤬 😫⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As far as eating this is where I am: I have taken every single “diet” and incorporated what works for me into my lifestyle. For the foreseeable future I’ve stopped eating red meats, let dairy go & began limiting the amount of animal by products (& hormones) in my diet 😳🥺😩 more on that in the upcoming weeks.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love cooking, I love shopping for just about anything shoes to real estate; new house me is my mood. I’m always on a spending freeze but not really 😂, I love to DIY, eating out is my fav past time, I don’t believe in being overdressed and I’m⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
anti Trump over here. Living my best life is my only option and I hope to inspire you! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
DMs are always open. I always respond. I love you all. I’ve been on a two week break this month but I’ll be back to posting regularly on all platforms by next week. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Happy New Year!! You eating your black eye peas today? Comment 👍🏾 if yes and 🤷🏾‍♀️ if no.

Dec 18

Haven’t posted in days because I’ve been exhausted. Is it the darkness the comes early evening and disappears mildly after 7 something in the morning? Is it the incessant soapboxes on body image, diet culture, weight loss and fat phobia? Is it the Christmas season or the never ending pandemic? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I couldn’t tell u. All I know is I’ve needed a break. I control what I see and hear on the internet. So I’ve been curating the space that is around me. Spending time with those who have good energy and trying to give the energy I want to receive. Taking baths, laughing, eating and just minding damn my business. Period. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This holiday season going into the new year, curate your space. Fill it with good people, good energy and love. The world will always have its issues. Let go of what you can’t control bc it does nothing but bring stress and anxiety. Whoosah and level your sprit up my loves. 😘

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁
Hope you guys are eating well and staying safe. I’m grateful for the lessons of 2020. There have been many and I’m better for them. The biggest lesson I’ve learned is to follow my gut in everything. In romance, friendship, business and money.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What are you grateful for??

Nov 24

Spending the dreary day in my satin PJs. Feeling fancy but really I’m working from home, conditioning my hair and stressing myself over #vlogmas. Just dropped my glass container on the floor now I have no more dressing. 🙄 It’s really just another day over here. What ya’ll getting into today? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Bringing the brightness to Monday with a lot of color 😊️ I’m so ready for this 4 day weekend! I know this thanksgiving won’t be what it’s been previously for many of you but I’m grateful to see this holiday season. I’m even more grateful for this @justiceofthepies key lime pie I’ve ordered. I don’t plan on sharing either 😋 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This is how I’m spending my weekend minus the swimsuit hahaha. A few weeks ago my friend Nancy said, “You’re always working” and I couldn’t agree more. Where much is given, much is expected. & when you have big aspirations, you gotta make it happen. So I’m putting the work in more than ever. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m excited for #Vlogmas which drops Dec. 1st. You can search for This Is Fenique or go to the link in bio. It’s going to be filled with lots of laughs, food and fun!

Nov 19

This my mood forever. Ready for the weekend and grateful Friday’s still the same inspite of the chaos of 2020. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
FYI I will be dropping a Meal Prep Sunday this upcoming week celebrating Thanksgiving. It’s my fav non dessert 😂 dish. Can you guess? Comment it below!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Hint: my family is southern and so is our Thanksgiving menu. 📷 @skoreanaudi

Putting up my cute looks for the rest of the year and pulling out my sweats... JUST KIDDING! Showing up to the couch, living room, kitchen and balcony as dressed up or dressed down as I want bc THATS MY BUSINESS 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 My outfit: @prettylittlething

Everyone has so much anxiety and stress about what they can’t control. Guys, learn how to protect your peace. I implore you all to protect the energy around you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Peace, tranquility & general calm come from within. Being truly unbothered is a life practice. If you have to log off and take a break do that. Stress and anxiety literally kills. Prioritize your peace. ✌🏾😘 📷 @skoreanaudi

Yesterday’s look. Somewhere between psychotic and iconic 😂 Wore a hazmat suit on the plane. To some ppl that’s extreme to me it was all about peace of mind. It also provided a giggle for me and friends. I learned how dirty I get on the plane bc my entire outfit was filthy by the time I got settled. Do what supports your peace of mind during this pandemic. Sending love and good vibes 😘

This year more than ever, we must vote for the change we want to see. How many fires, hurricanes, and floods must we endure before our national leadership takes action surrounding the issues of climate change? Not all of us can fight fires but we can all fight for climate change! On October 14th, I rushed to the polls to vote early. So much peace of mind in knowing my voice is being heard. I’ve made the vow to vote for candidates who will take proactive measures for climate change. Make your voice heard for our children and generations to come, and vote for a candidate who will take action on climate change. Be heard. VOTE! I’m tagging @itsbrittanybright @adivanamedlatrice @flos_favorites to also share their pinky promise and join me in the #VoteLikeAMadre movement! 🌎💚💙🍃 #sponsored In partnership with Latino Victory Project

Where do sweet potatoes rank in your favorite sides? I only eat a small amount of the caramelized sweet potatoes while others love them. I prefer them in pie. 😂 How do you prefer your sweet potatoes?

#7thGenPartner I've been urging people to vote. Generations before us didn't have the privilege but created the opportunity for us. They stood up not just for themselves but for future generations. Now we have the opportunity to do the same. Being Generation Good means being the generation to use our collective voice. We must stand up for our planet and the health of future generations to come. This Election Day, I’m partnering with @SeventhGeneration & pledging to use my voice by voting on behalf of the health of our planet and the generations to come. Will you join me? @flos_favorites @wannagrabhappyhour @fashionlingual take the pledge to #VotefortheNextGen #generationgood

Happy to be alive to see another Monday. Would rather it be Saturday 😫⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I struggle so tough on Mondays. We really just need to transition the whole country to a 4 day work week. We’d get so much more done. Put a 😊 in the comments if you agree or a 🥶 if you don’t.

I’ve spent months talking about, planning & executing this makeup vanity. I really love making unique pieces you can’t find in the store. It gives my room that something extra. For me it’s the details and luxe vibes. You’d never know this was my little sisters old makeup vanity. I guess some people’s trash can truly be another’s treasure.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was in horrible condition. Before she thew it out I took it & gave it a Moroccan vibe. My bedroom is slowly coming together. This piece is giving me boutique hotelier vibes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The tile is adhesive wallpaper from @etsy. The mirror is from @wayfair. The lights and accessories on the desk are from @amazon. You can watch the entire video on my @youtube channel. Link is in bio. On a scale from 1 - 10, how are you ranking this??

Absolutely love this @primark coat. Coats make an outfit. No matter the price, pair with the right accessories, and be the chicest. Trust me, I do it all the time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This season I really want a 🧸 coat (I think that’s the name) and a plaid coat. What outerwear are you rocking or looking for this fall? Comment below! #primarkusa

Taking time today to remember all of my progress. I'm working on my gratitude and overall attitude.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's easy to be impatient when we just want to get "there." Sometimes it feels like all the work is getting us nowhere. I always remember it took @Lizzo 10 years to get her breakout hit, @Oprah worked a job where she was grossly underpaid before she got her show and @Beyonce was told she had no hits on her first solo album. Every single woman stayed the course, did the work, and got to the results. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Keep going, keep working, keep trying, keep failing, and success will come.

#ThrowbackThursday This was taken this summer when I was drinking, eating & shopping my heart out! I was also spending my heart out🤣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you watched my stories over the last few months, I've talked about how I'm on a spending freeze. I've actually done pretty well. No excessive spending on unnecessary things. Now if I can stop spending so much at the grocery store, I'd be perfect🤣. I worked as a manager at a grocery store for 2 years yet strangely grocery shopping is one of my favorite forms of shopping. I love to shop. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What do you guys like to shop for? Do you prefer online or in-store? Let me know in the comments.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
