Over the last few weeks I’ve begun to share my fibroid tumor journey on my YouTube channel. For me it all started with my regular Pap test in September 2020. Although I’m fairly private about my health and love life hahaha, I knew this story was worth sharing. I talked to so many women in my age range about their experience and it’s shocking. I’m so thankful to all of the women who’ve shared their story and wisdom. Please advocate for yourselves! It’s so important that we are vigilant about our cervical health. Before the introduction of the Pap Test cervical cancer was the #1 cancer killer for women. Now it’s #15. If you’re not vigilant about your health, who will be? I implore you to check with your OB/GYN to see how often you need to get screened. If you feel anything is strange, insist they look at it or get another doctor who will.

Said bye bye to my fibroid tumors a few weeks ago. It’s why you haven’t seen me being super chatty in stories in a long time. I’ve documented the entire experience on my YouTube channel. Day of surgery video just dropped. There are more videos to come about recovery & next steps. Link in bio 😘

I killed these @fiberone bars in record time. While I have to pump the brakes on my obsession with sweets, hence all the reels of dessert, I’m grateful for this high-fiber snack. Because chocolate is my fav, of course the brownie is my favorite... sugar makes me 😊 Thanks for sending these over @fiberone ❤️ #gifted Dress is from @amazonfashion’s @highlowluxxe edit. Pretty obsessed with it, so mind your business when you see me in it weekly...
yes it’s on the grid already and will be again. 📷: @skoreanaudi

Location: MINDING MY DAMN BUSINESS. It’s a peaceful place love 🌸 Someone asked me about the “mind my business” resolution I talked about a lot last year in my stories. It’s not that hard to stay in your lane and worry about your damn self. Quite easy actually. Put your life into perspective and work on what you got going on. You’ll get further minding your own business than you will being in someone else’s... & if they wanted your opinion they’d ask.

Quite often there are blessings in missed opportunities & failure. My work on an abundance mindset & only accepting thee best fit myself has shown up & shown out 😂I can’t describe it but bs & bs ppl are removed from path quickly. Prayers e out here working huh 🤔 I hope the same for all of you. 😘 📷: @skoreanaudi

I’ve been reading so many comments, stories, blog posts & captions about friendships in 2020. Reading your experiences and outlook has been the most interesting thing for me. An overwhelming amount of people have said their friendships suffered in 2020. I disagree. Let’s tap into a different mindset.... I like to believe that 2020 was a year of finding out the level of bonds you have with the people around you. For me it was finding my circle & nurturing those relationships. I begin to really pay attention to patterns. With some I realized I need to show up better. With others I realized I need to step back and reassess. I decided to meet people where they were or not be there at all. I poured into those who poured into me. I realized it’s so many ppl who really truly f*ck with me. I have gratitude for so many of you. Most of friends have kids, spouses and/or don’t live in my city but still found time. That’s hard af to do. Than it’s ppl who always DM the sweetest things. So I begin to focus my energy on those people... & things shifted. I made new friends in 2020, closed the door on relationships that didn’t honor me. I stopped feeling a way about not being invited to stuff and enjoyed where I was included. Became grateful for the things I “missed out on” bc they weren’t meant for me. Most importantly I minded my damn business lmao. So 2020 my friendships didn’t suffer. 2020 weeded out people who are only around when it benefits them. 2020 made me lower my expectations of others and just enjoy them for how they show up. 2020 opened up doors to new bonds, a refreshed mindset, stronger friendships and better relationships. Where did 2020 take your friendships? 📷 @skoreanaudi

Recipe Time!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yesterday I ate half a box of mini chocolate donuts and finished out a full cheese danish from @entenmanns. It was bomb but I really have to chill. I recklessly indulge in January to no avail bc it’s my bday month. So now I’m getting it together...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m starting my February by diving back into smoothies 3-5x a week. So here is my beginner friendly green smoothie recipe. For the record this is a smoothie for people who wanna just have something delicious but still get the fruit and veggie intake they need.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fenique’s Basic But Delicious Green Smoothie
1.5 cup spinach
1.5 cashew milk
1/2 cup mango
1/2 cup pineapple
1 whole banana
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All fruit I use is frozen but you can do fresh. You can use almond milk, oat milk, coconut water or just ice. Add dates or frozen peaches to make it sweeter. Add avocado for some healthy fat. If you add berries this will no longer be a green smoothie but I love a berry smoothie lol. I like to add collagen, my choice is @vitalproteins. You can add your protein powders too. Use this as a starting point and have fun. I’m working you towards a beet smoothie 😂😂😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What’s in your smoothie?

Me looking at Monday pulling up 😒😒😖😫 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve been off 3 days and I’m not ready to go back to logging on from the couch😆 but really grateful I don’t have to go inot the office during this wild snow storm (& panoramic 😂). I’m thankful for small blessings too lol⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
March 15th will be 1 year I’ve been working from home (wfh). It’s crazy how ppl frown upon wfh until a pandemic pull up and it’s the only option. Or that shorting a stock is a crime. It’s the hypocrisy of it all for me.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
During this pandemic what have you realized was complete bullsh*t from the old guard? It was _____ for me.... let’s go!

One time for the birthday bih! 🎉🥳🎊10 years ago I had just graduated college, stressed and looking for a job. Aaah to be 22 again 😂😂😂 I do not miss my 20's. However, if I could give any advice to my younger self or someone who's in their early 20's this is what I would say. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Go ahead and buy that @chanel bag sis. It's just going to go up in price.🛍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Trust your gut EVERY 👏🏾SINGLE 👏🏾TIME 👏🏾⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. Dwell heavily where the love resides. In all relationships. You deserve.🥰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. Be fearless and go after what you want. What are you waiting for? 🤔⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5. Talk less. Do more. 💪🏾⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
6. Don't give that guy the benefit of the doubt. Be with someone you don't need to doubt. ❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
7. Life always works out. Don't stress about what you can’t control. Don't feed your anxiety and worry. Work hard and trust yourself. Life will work out for you. Sometimes in your favor, sometimes against your will. Either way, you'll be good. 😉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It’s throwback Thursday and today I’m looking back on Christmas 2020. It’s wild how your outlook can change in a month. I didn’t have a positive January outlook. Usually I have bday blues especially bc the weather is complete 🗑 every year on my birthday. Every year for several years there’s been drama. At 29 I got scabies, 30 there was a freezing temps like below 30. 31 was a better bday but ya’ll know how 2020 went. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This year tho, I’m in a complete different place. Since I turned 27, I’ve felt like the year I turn 32 was going to be epic. It’s kind of looking that way, but I’m not sure. I’m looking forward to my bday. I’m literally on good vibes only mode. My stocks are up 🤣. I bought myself a very fabulous gift. I have a pretty booked weekend. & new content is launching on all platforms. 2021 is going to be a glow up in ways I don’t know. I just have that feeling. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you ever had a feeling that something major was coming?

Jan 27

Popped off my birthday week at RL with @skoreanaudi. Eating out is literally one of my favorite pastimes 😂 Never in my life did I think I’d sit outside in Chicago on a January day. Clearly I thought wrong. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I ordered I thought I was getting a greasy chicken sandwich. Clearly I was delusional because I received a very posh fried chicken breast sandwich topped with arugula on ciabatta. It gave me healthy sandwich vibes. I know your like “but sis the bread 🙄” but please remember bread isn’t the devil, portion sizes and over consumption is but I digress. Im jumping back off my food soapbox but before I go, enjoy your damn food today. 😘

Truth is I’m tired. Shockingly January flew and I’m catching my second wind. Who can relate?

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⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

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 my damn 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 spirit up my loves. 😘
