By Kemi Mobuse - Monday, March 14, 2016

Looking fit and trim is now the 'in' thing nowadays, in fact, its becoming so hard to differentiate between mothers and daughters ,or even grandma's and grand kids, no one wants to be left out on the race to be healthy.

Being healthy and fit, doesn't have to take too much toils on you physically, another option is to eat well and eat healthy, that is why KMB approached Divine Delights to show us the how and we are left salivating for more...

Kemi Mobuse blog: Can we meet you?

Fitandproper Foodie: My name is Chidinma Eziefule. I'm a Lawyer by profession.

Kemi Mobuse blog: Are you into business as well? And which is it?

Fitandproper Foodie: O, yes! I'm an extreme foodie, so it was only natural for me to venture into something food-related. I make healthy snacks for children and adults alike from pure fruit. They're called Frollies!

Kemi Mobuse blog: Is Frollie the name of your brand as well?

Fitandproper Foodie: The name of the brand is Divine Delights, that might change soon as I'm in talks with working under an agro-processing company

Kemi Mobuse blog: And what is a foodie, or who?

Fitandproper Foodie: A foodie, to me, is someone who appreciates good food in ANY form, and is willing to try anything edible even once

Kemi Mobuse blog: Hmmmm, nice, well, I think d term can apply to me, lol!

Kemi Mobuse blog: What made you go into making healthy snacks for children?/you are a mum I presume?

Fitandproper Foodie: Hmmm, that's a loaded question. I'm not a mum...yet! I came up with healthy snacks like these, first and foremost, for the child in ME. I love sweets, but I needed to come up with healthy alternatives that wouldn’t compromise my weight or fertility. Also, my friend's 3 year old son is the definition of 'Picky Eater' and when I was still making Frollies for myself; he came around with his mum and ate 4 of them. That's when I figured I might as well make it available for sale

Kemi Mobuse blog: Hmmm, that's really deep. So, I guess it's OK, to say you are your own inspiration?

Fitandproper Foodie: I guess so 😀

Kemi Mobuse blog: Does combining both your business and job not affect you or either one?

Fitandproper Foodie: To be honest, not really. I work for my husband, so I have some leeway. He's very supportive of my ideas so I can work from home some of the time. I'm lucky in that regard.

Kemi Mobuse blog: Very lucky! How was the market reception since you started out?

Fitandproper Foodie: It has been good, and it has been God. Considering the fact that the product is less than a month old, I'm very thankful so far. Friends, family, neighbours, and even people I don't know have patronized me so far. This makes me very happy, considering the fact that I haven't really advertised it, due to the fact that I'm still working on packaging details. Thank God for social media!
Even As we speak, I'm processing an order to be sent to Ghana. Like I said, it has been God.

Kemi Mobuse blog: Wow! Just a month, that's an inspiration

Kemi Mobuse blog: What is your motivation?

Fitandproper Foodie: Fulfillment. I want to show my children, when they come, that they can achieve whatsoever they set their minds to.I also don't mind having 1/50th of Dangote's fortune 😂😄

Kemi Mobuse blog: What is the typical day in the life of divine delights CEO?

Fitandproper Foodie: Wake up, pop into the office for about 1 hour, then, depending on what day of the week it is, I either head to the fruit market, or straight home to start washing, chopping, and pureeing fruit for the Frollies. I'm usually neck deep in fruit till about 1pm. Then I check in with the office, send off some emails or draw up some documents, then check the progress of the different Frollies

Fitandproper Foodie: My day typically ends at 4pm, when I send out any orders for the day, then sleep!

Kemi Mobuse blog: What is your favourite aspect of being an entrepreneur?

Fitandproper Foodie: I can control my work hours!!!

Kemi Mobuse blog: Ha-ha! You seem super happy to say that

Fitandproper Foodie: Yes, I am.

Kemi Mobuse blog: What is your own definition of success?

Fitandproper Foodie: The day someone will say to me "I aspire to be like you", then I will I have reached my zenith

Kemi Mobuse blog: And how do you plan to get there?

Fitandproper Foodie: With God, with continuous product improvement and enhancement, with the help of other entrepreneurs in the field of agriculture and agro-processing, and with the good people of the media, like yourself

Kemi Mobuse blog: I like your zeal! If you were given a chance to start over, what will you change?

Fitandproper Foodie: Definitely with my existing and potential customers. I might as well eat all the Frollies if not for them
I would probably have started much earlier. Much much earlier

Kemi Mobuse blog: So, the business is that good?

Fitandproper Foodie: You know when you're doing something that makes you happy, and also makes other people happy, you just wonder why you wasted so much time prior to...

Kemi Mobuse blog: I understand perfectly

Kemi Mobuse blog: How has been an entrepreneur affected your family life?

Fitandproper Foodie: Like I said earlier, I can control my work hours, that means I'm home to make breakfast and dinner, and I can still rest enough before my husband comes home so I can gist well with him about the day. So, thus far, it's been good. I know when the babies start coming, it will get crazy!

Kemi Mobuse blog: Do you have a eating plan or menu or something for weight loss as well?

Fitandproper Foodie: For myself, or for others?

Kemi Mobuse blog: Others

Fitandproper Foodie: O, yes. Over time, I've come up with different plans for weight loss and weight management. Every individual has a different dietary need, so I'm wary about putting up umbrella eating plans. For instance, carbohydrates are a necessity for most people, but lately, when I eat carbs (whether processed or not, apart from carbs in beans and vegetables), my ankles swell. Other people can eat carbs, but may just need to exercise portion control. It's important to discover what foods are good for your body

Kemi Mobuse blog: And what are the benefits of your plans?

Fitandproper Foodie: It depends on what the individual wants-weight loss, weight management, eating better, even weight gain!

Kemi Mobuse blog: How has this business changed you as a person?

Fitandproper Foodie: I haven't really noticed anything yet. Maybe a month is too short to notice. I'm hoping meeting people and having to advertise my products helps me get rid of some of my shyness though

Kemi Mobuse blog: Looool! What advice will you give to upcoming entrepreneurs?

Fitandproper Foodie: Do it because you're passionate about it, not because you see another doing it and succeeding. That way, when the inevitable problems arise, your passion will fuel you into finding ways to surmount said problems.

Kemi Mobuse blog: How can your future clients contact you?

Fitandproper Foodie: Via Whatsapp on 08100494863 or Instagram @fitandproperfoodie.

Kemi Mobuse blog: Thanks for your time.

Fitandproper Foodie: Thank you too.
