Chromatic L'Amour

Ok Loves!!! Soooo member when I said things got postponed and pushed back and plans have changed these last couple of posts? Well they have and of course plans did change ALOT!! Buuut in the end Im super excited to announce Finally!!!! For the first time you loves will be able to purchase Chromatic L'Amour gear!! Yaaaaaay!!

This Saturday the 21st we are super stoked to be apart of the Juneteenth 24th Annual Celebration event at the Plaza Park in Down Town Oxnard!! It will be held from 10am-6pm and there is a limited number of selected items from our collection we will be selling so first come first serve. We will also be passing out flyers and hopefully getting to know and talk to you lovely loves so even if you want to just stop by and see what we are all about come say hi! we wont bite . . . hard hahaha jk So again there will only be some selected items from our collection we will be selling and other items that you may see on our insta will be sold as well but in future events!! But don't get too bummed there will be more chances to get gear if you cant make it this time!!


As for those of you who may be possibly stumbling on here for the first time or for those of you who are already been following Chromatic L'Amours journey since I first decided to start the clothing Line, you know starting this Adventure they call a business has been crazy! we have had our share of good and mostly from what it feels like bad times. From when I first decided to start CLA I had to postpone it because of being diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma(Cancer). Then came recovery wich has been a whole other long journey that im still going through which has made it difficult with launching. And of course the whole money and papper work and taxes and all that stuff when starting a business that you need to have and do which now I realize Is so time consuming and also a whole other long journey of having to postpone. BUUUT like I say theres a reason for everything and I truly believe that God and the Universe are guiding me to what and where exactly I need to be even if there is trouble along the way "What doesn't Kill you makes you stronger right?" HECK YES IT DOES!!! So again thank you to all who still are very patient and so supportive for believing in me and what I do!!
                                           

Im Liv Vee and Im a Hodgkin's Lymphoma Cancer Survivor!!! My Dream is to not only be successful in my clothing line but Through my clothing line help Spread Cancer Awareness!! So for every item that you loves purchase there will be a portion taken out that goes to helping Cancer patients and creating Comfort Kits for them!! For more info about comfort kits check out our merch booth this Saturday or check out the last post I recently did for more info!! Thanx guys!! Hope to see ya Loves There!!!

Believe

Do what you Love, Be who you were meant to Be and Succeed in what you were meant to do. Believe in yourself." - Liv Vee xoxo
Don't let life and all the hard times it throws at you sometimes all at once discourage you from accomplishing your dreams and hopes. You could be the next person to inspire someone to make this world a better place.

I've been working and focusing extremely hard to make a difference, and as of lately I've been seeing that there has been some people who support me and what im doing, and others who just turn me away or try to put me down. And you know what that's ok. I stand by what I've said since I started my battle with cancer and started this blog, Iam truly blessed to have gotten the experience to see life differently and a second chance at life to do what im meant to do and to help others, and if that means that my dream of starting my clothing line Chromatic L'Amour had to be postponed and pushed back then so be it!!! Since I last updated you loves I was sorry to announce that the Chromatic L'Amour launching date was no longer April 1st. And since then I know a lot of you have been wondering what the heck has been going on, and what exactly is happening. I cant stress to you loves how sorry Iam for having to postpone the launch date I know a lot of supporters have given up on waiting and are very anxious and upset because things were pushed back, but never in a million years would I have thought that all you lovely loves would be interested in purchasing my clothing!? It was the biggest shock and it was then I realized I had to re-think my plan and dream and for GOOD reasons because I have to make things even BIGGER!!! Maybe the reason for all these set backs isn't because its bad luck or its not ment, like some people like to tell me but maybe its because my DREAM is to small maybe its because God or the Universe thinks im capable of doing so much more. And you know what that's absolutely right! Im proud to say Chromatic L'Amour wont just stop at Clothing like I said before theres big things instore for Chromatic L'Amour and like they say Go BIG or go home!! I wont be home that's for sure!!! (HINT) HINT)


Its been hard with expanding and re-planning Chromatic L'Amours future. (HINT!!) (HINT!!!) Theres a lot to still get taken care of and its kinda hard when there's only one of me trying to be in multiple places at the same time. I mean I love what I do when it comes to graphic designing, or other types of designing when it comes to my business, (HINT!!) (HINT!!)but there's a lot of money and time that goes into getting licenses and permits and it pushes back being able to get merchandise out to you loves. And although I know all my dearest supporters and family and friends know I been working my butt off, its easy for others who don't know to say I haven't. Which puts me in a funk, which is dumb cause lets face it im only human sometimes it really gets to me I cant just get things out right away. But as the picture above its soooooo true not just for me but for everyone DON'T EVER compare your business/Dream/goal to someone else. We all have different journeys and goals in life and we all have different ways of getting there, no one is ever exactly the same which makes you so unique and special. But one thing for sure that we all have in common, we all have to start somewhere and its obvious the only way to get to the top is to start from the bottom and work your way up!! I mean look at Drake he knows what im talkin bout!!! haha!!!
 
For example take one of my most biggest inspirations, Walt Disney!!! I can not tell you how much his story has inspired me. From a drawing of a mouse to Disneyland!! I mean what did people think of him when he would say his ideas, I bet everybody thought he was crazy and guess what look at his dream now!!!

Im doing the very best and over my best at making Chromatic L'Amour the biggest I can make it!! My dream is to not only sell my clothing but to promote Cancer Awareness. For every item you loves purchase there will be a portion taking out to make what we at Chromatic L'Amour Like to call "COMFORT KITS". Comfort Kits are a basket or backpack/ Purse that will contain items that a specific Cancer patient might need to get through their treatments. For example, When I was sick I didn't have money I didnt even have insurance and to pay for my treatments, and out of pocket for treatment is way into over the thousands. There was no way i could afford new clothes and things i needed on top of bills, and if it wasn't for my grandparents and family and friends especially my sisters bro in law and parents putting money towards things I needed for treatment like comfortable clothes, and blankets, even snacks because there were things that I specifically had to eat which sometimes the some hospitals wont supply. I mean what would I have done, especially a HUUUGE thank you which goes out to my sis and bro in law for giving me and ipod!!!! Oh my goooooosh I seriously cant even tell how many times that thing literally saved me from giving up!!!!!
Music means everything to me without it I cant function seriously, every beat every sound the voices and just good vibes my music brought to me during the most hardest treatment it got me through!! And it was all due to that ipod my sister and bro in law decided to get me that which I couldn't afford. Theres always going to be something a cancer patients needs to help keep them going and although these might just be materialistic things you be surprised how much it means when your in treatment and someone made a hand knitted scarf and beanie in your favorite color which made my bald head warm and made me feel so comforted! That's when I knew I wanted to incorporate making comfort kits in Chromatic. It could be a toy, a wig, activities anything that will put a smile on there face because they deserve it. And if I have the chance to do that im going to do it!! So please loves know im working hard to not only get merch together but to do sooo much more!! Hang in there and it will be worth the wait I promise!!!! Stay updated on Insta and here for some new events That Chromatic L'Amour will be apart of!!! I will be posting flyers this week!! thank you for all the love and continuouse support that I know you my loves (readers) give!! will always mean the world to me!!
