Rough is life

                                                                    
Hey loves!!!
Hope you loves have been doing well!!! Sooooo as for me I've been getting asked a lot about what I've been up to or what I've been doing lately? Well as y'all already know how crazy my life gets x that by 20 and then again by like 1000 and that's my stress level  as I type ha! Well to catch you lovely peeps on what's been goin on, I'll first start of with the good. I would like to introduce you all to what my mind has been completely zoned into lately and  might I add its the most cutest thing ever!!! Meet Pixie Rose!!! 

Seriously how could I not be on cloud 9 right now!! As you all know my baby boy passed away earlier this January and still my heart aches not having him around. I mean honestly I was not at all planning to get another doggy but she was a birthday gift and how could I pass up this cute lil cupcake!! I actually have seen her ever since she was first born and I got sooo attached when she always crawled towards me it was love at first ruff!!

She is such a handful, she's only 8 weeks but holy moly does she feel like a infant/toddler in their terrible 2's, always running around and getting into things. Always up at the wee hours of the morn tryin to wake me up and play, and between puppy doc appointments and her first set of shots boy oh boy has it been busy busy busy round here! But its all worth it, I don't know how I've been
living without her. She fits into my life so perfectly its like she's the missing puzzle piece to my 
puzzle!! I love my honey more than anything and I absolutely love being her Mommy!!!!!



So on that note I hope you all had a lovely Easter, I know we did!!! Now onto the more crazier part of my life right now. I'm pooped!! Yuuup you heared me im stressed out to the MAX and I've been sick this whoooole entire month!

So as I said before people seem to think that now that I'm cancer free that its all rainbows unicorns and raining daumn cupcakes well its not!! Faaaar from it!!!! I cant tell you how all the chemo/radiation and stem cell treatment has f'up my body!!To loosing my hair rotting finger nails and extreme stomach blow vomiting even after the treatments, that was only the beginning. Now it may be 9 months that I have been Cancer free now, but that doesn't mean that I still don't have side effects from it all. I'm still struggling with a lot for example on the physical end I've been sick all month with a cold. Now when a normal person gets sick its bad but they get over it me, well not only did I have the stuffed and runny nose, sore throat, migraines, stomachaches, body aches, but because I have such bad allergies now which is new to me by the way it caused me on top of all that to get a sinus infection along with red puffy itchy eyes and along with having gallstones apparently. Ooooh and along with another side effect that basically things I used to eat that I loved, now I hate, or my body rejects it. "NO" i'm not asking for sympathy or even feeling sorry for myself only trying to express how rough it really still is for me most of the time, you have ur good and bad days but lately its just been more bad than good. There's also been a lot of deaths in my family and that's just a whole other set of hurt extreme emotions that just piles up on top of everything else. I do still push myself to work on Chromatic L'Amour tho there's never not a day where i'm not working. But still theres just days where my body just gives out on me literally and even tho I know its bad I still continue to push my self. Which leads to the key point of what I've been up to lately.


I recently had a health scare!! As you can prob tell I over work myself, why? A because I love my job and B im still learning how to put my life back together and live again. Yes, im learning how to live, everything in my whole entire life has changed physically emotionally everything. Im not the same person I used to be since I got diagnosed at bearly turning 20, and honestly down to the way I think talk and to my likings has changed, its a weird but a refreshing way of me literally being born again. My whole body is re-learning how to sleep, walk, & eat which is a huuuge one. For example: Resturant + crab = Some weird girl throwing up in the bushes of their outside parking lot while walking back to her car.(ME)yeeeeeeaaaaah and that's with a lot of stuff to, if its not horrible enough not being able to control my body rejecting certain foods its got ppl lookin like eighther i be pregos or need to learn my drinking limit which is sad cause it has nothing to do with eighther of those things hahah!! & as far as the sleeping goes its like sleep does not do anything for me and if I could I cld prob run a couple of days without sleep which I have. Which sucks because im never able to get on track with my sleep. Then to top that off in raging fear the other day I thought I felt a lump in my breast!!!! I mean being guaranteed to over a 90% chance I will have breast cancer any day now with another secondary cancer How could I not be on the verge of tears!! But thank Gooood it was just normal breast tissue and im still in the clear for now, but being watched closey. All I can say is again my body is trying to tell me to slow the f'down and its a reminder to show me that  just go with the flow. . .  no matter how hard it will be for me to try to stay still ha!
I was told by all my docs and nurses that it would take up to 2 years before I would get back into a some what normal routine mode, and that it will take up to a year before I could start doing normal things again. And I was like well that's not gonna be me im gonna be fine thinking like im freggin wonder women buuuut its still 9 months later and im bearly starting to learn how to get a routine going, which is hard with my hectic schedule I bearly have time for my self between work and Pixie im a working Momma tryin to make the monies.
Its sometimes easy to get caught up with more bad things happening than good and I start to loose focus on whats most important. I mean i'm only human and I have days like where I feel like I just cant see the light of day. Especially lately with all kinds of things thats happening, its really hard to get out of a funk and I'll be honest its freggin hard to start a business in the middle of all kinds of
 tough times. I've been putting blood sweat and tears into my work and for it to have to be always put on hold it takes a toll on me and makes me depressed. Buuut if its one think I learned is that when one door closes another one opens. ITS TRUE!!!!! All I know is that i cant go wrong with God on my
 side there may be things that happen but I know it is ment for a reason!! & I say this loves because some of you I know tell me about some hard times in
your life, and know that it cant rain for ever, things have to be hard and rough in order to see the true meaning of beauty and good in  things. Easier said than done but trust me I know first hand.



And for all those who have been asking and are curious about Chromatic L'Amour and our launch, if you read the last couple of posts you know that we had to postpone our launch date, (for those posts you can find on the lower right hand side of this page or just scroll down to older post) which im so sorry the one thing I hate most of all is when someone tells me they are doing something and then they don't and change there word. Buuut as I said before I decided to change the date for so many reasons and one of them being that I want to make sure that you all get the best quality and service,you are in store for some awesome things coming up which I cant wait to announce later this week!! So just keep patient loves I soooo promise it'll be worth the wait!!

And not to all you my AWESOME SUPPORTERS cause you guys are awesome!!! But to those idiotic dumb people who I know  come on here or talk  behind my back and say "why don't you go get a real job" or "you don't look sick aren't you all better now" "you were never sick to begain with" or my personal fav that im lying that i have my own Clothing line. Hahaha your so dumb seriously! For the record just because I don't work in the mall or where ever the hell you work doesn't mean that I don't work or have a job. While your working and filing papers or what ever the heck you do your most likely  working for someone one else while im at home chillin  I'm the BOSS and owner of my own company  while im doing what I love ! Sooo who has a real job ooh im sorry who has a real AWESOME Job!!! Im a lover not  fighter but please if you hate me and what im doing so much don't follow me. BUT TO ALL MY Awesome SUPPORTERS YOU Rock & I  LOVE YOOOOOU GUUUUYS!!!!!! You guys are whats most important and I cant wait to respond back to some more of all your aweome msgs tonight!!

Things Happen Man

To all my readers & to all our supporters from Chromatic L'Amour, I want to take the time out to update you all on whats been goin on round here and most of all to tell you how much each and everyone of you are appreciated!! If you follow me or Chromatic L'Amour on instagram you already know I decided to push back our launching date and that it will no longer be on April 1st. I first just want to say im sorry to all those we have told it would be on April 1st, our original plan was to launch our website and for all you lovely people to purchase Chromatic L'Amour merchandise here in California and mostly in our local area. Chromatic L'Amour I always assumed wld be a small buisness I could run locally and as long as I did what I loved doing and helped spread cancer awarness thats all that ever mattered. Never in a milion years would I have imagined that I be getting people not only in our area but out of state and even in different countries anticipating our clothing line. Have been getting so many emails and msgs from all kinds of new supporters and I could not be any more shocked and excited. It means sooooo much that you guys are actually taking the time out to write and say how much your looking foward to the launch! I just really want you all to know I appreciate every single one of you,I have the most awesome supporters and for that I could not thank you guys enough!!! But what I can do is make sure that I do everything possible so that I provide the best service and qaulity to you guys!! Thats whats most important & that is why I pushed back the launching date not only so we have more time to prep but to improve for your benefit!! As you already probebly assumed yes, we are expanding where we sell our merchandise!!!! Yaaaaaaay!!!
Now I know you all are wondering what day exactly we now will be launching, also alot of you are asking where it is exactly we are selling? what are our prices? what is our store website? All those questions I will glady answer for you very soon, I know this is a set back and to ask you guys to wait a litte longer is hard but I promise it will be worth ur while!! Theres alot of new changes for Chromatic L'Amour and so excited to say there will be upcoming events!! So just hold tight they are coming. Also to all our main supporters who have been waiting and to those supporters who will still stand by us untill we do launch know that we adore you and do notice each and everyone of you. We take the time out to always see what you guys post and tag us in and you guys rock!! So for all of you that suport us and spread the word make sure to tag us or #chromaticlamour especially when we do launch for every one that tags us or posts our flyers or even purchases our items will be put in a Chromatic L'Amour raffel and get the chance to when special prizes!!! The more you tag us and #chromaticlamour or purchase Chromatic L'Amour items, the more your chances go up!!
Although its such an exciting time its also an extremely stressful time. Theres so much to do and I've been puling all nighters and working waaay over time which put me in a bad situation. Ive been feeling really sick again and got a scare!! Although I went to the doctor and so far things are ok my doctor reminded me that im not fully healed nor em I out of the woods yet. Sometimes I get so caught up in work that I forget that im stil bearly just a"RECOVERING CANCER PATIENT." Although I may be cancer free today that doesnt mean I will tomorrow, Im over 90% guarnteed to get breast cancer & a nother form of cancer. Also I have gallstones at this moment. I wont get into detail about all the other side effects im dealing with but just a few to give you a rough estimate of what I deal with on daily basis sometimes while working which makes it really hard, EXTREME tiredness & migrains,dizzy spells,feeling like ima throw up, indigestion,stomach aches i mean those are jst a few. Im not telling you loves this for pitty but to show why things are so hard and to prove that no matter what I will pull through and get this clothing line out and ready for buisness as fast as I can. Yes there will be set backs such as what happend to us with the launch date but so what I kicked cancers ass and i will tackle every setback and problem head on!! Nothing can stop me when I got God & Jesus on my side whoot whoot!!! Jesus take the steering wheel cause I need all the help I can get!!!!
Advice of the day: Although there may be hard times in such a beautiful day, you shouldnt let that discourage you or ruin your day. Its ok to feel bummed or hurt or even for one second feel sorry for yourself But right after that second make sure to tackle your problems head on and push those probs away and make room for better moments in that day. just like the man upove hahaha!!!

Listen To Ya Momma

Hey Loves! I hope all you pretty people have been doing well! As for me BOY let me tell ya its been CRAZY over here at this casa of mine. Man when my Momma told me in the hospital a few months back to get my rest up because when I get better and my buisness takes off there wont be time to rest, I laughed and just hoped for better days. Weeeell Momma knows best cause its true I have no time for rest!! hahahaha!! So advice of the day "Listen to your Momma!"
I can not tell you how much is on my plate, well actually plates. They say dont bite of more than you can chew, well lets just say I have to much food & a mouth full of food & ima havet to really work out after this haha!! Im working 24/7 all day every day and there hardly feels like there is any time to just watch STAR WAR MOVIES!!! GRRR!! Jk I always make time for that!! But still you catch my drift.
But basically Loves when it comes down to it at the end of the day I love my job!! The point is that no matter how stressful things are or how hard things get, you cant let that get in the way of what you want or love doing. I mean I wont lie and say its easy, cause let me be the first to tell ya im like the #1 person to stress about the littlest things ever!! But its not worth it!! From what I learned over the past couple of years even the last couple of months and days, stress and worrying about something doesnt help. You just need to dive in and tackle your situation head on, but its ok to always be aware and careful so make sure to do so and get your helmet gear ready haha! So in case you all been wondering why Ive been kinda not on Insta as much or posting as fast as I usualy do, just know im somewhere hitting my head against the wall wondering "why there isnt more hours in the day!" Its all worth it tho, I do havet to say Im SOOOOOOOOO BLESSED & EXCITED for whats to come! In the works of some HUGE things that I will be soon sharing with y'all, so get ready!!! Pluse also at the same time Im extremely terrified as heck that im on a time crunch for the launching of Chromatic L'Amour while traveling in and out of town promoting!! While on top of trying to stay healthy and keep updated with all blood work, scans testing, and with the stress of everyday waking up scared that my cancer is back. Buuuuut again more than anything like I said its all worth it and even if there is bad with the good its still such a blessing to have gotten this far and be healthy so im just so blessed, God is good!!!
Make sure to Follow me and Chromatic L'Amour on Instagram: @liv_vee @chromaticlamour & Just FYI to all our followers on insta if you stumble upon this please know that im soooooo Sorry for the technical difficulty we have had these last couple of days. Our first instagram account we started just randomly without permission deleted all of our followers and we there for decided to make a new account: @chromaticlamour to insure this doesnt happen again so know that iam deeply sorry for the inconvenience. But we are back and if you havent done so already make sure to follow us and we will do the same! So see you there!!!

Proud to finally Announce Chromatic L'Amour's First collection "The Black & white Limited Edition Collection" This is the first collection and I could not be more excited bout it!!! All desighns were made while I was first diagnosed, so I based all my thoughts and emotions and poured all my blood sweat and tears into making these desighns.




It was a very depressing and hard time for me and my family and everything just seemed so black and white. It was like the color was stripped from my world and there was hardly any joy then on out. While i was sick loosing my hair with chemo, non stop vomiting and more, I still made it a point to get my self up and go to the computer and work on desighns. I literally had a bucket to puke in one hand and was using the mouse & typing with my other hand. Eighter way it was all worth it!!! Now I cant wait to make a difference and help others that are going through what I went through!! Im back healthy and ready to start my career while spreading cancer awareness. For every purchase made there will be a donation going towards cancer research and helping cancer patients. So please help spread the word and become a part of the Chromatic L'Amour family and make a difference in style!!!
Hope you liked them! Make sure to Follow us on Instagram:@chromaticlamour

Welcome Back!

Who ever said life throws you a curve ball lied, that was an understatement! Life doesn't throw you curve balls, it throws you ASTROIDS!!!! Hey Loves!! Guess whoooooose back!! To all my old readers who I, as you already know refer to you as my loves, & to all the new readers that may lend up stumbling upon this, Welcome!! All you loves don't know how awesome you guys are! Thank you for always keeping updated and for all the support you have given me since I first started this here blog. It means the world to me, for REAL that you all take time out to check out all new posts and for keeping updated. All the Messages,comments,fundraisers and most of all Prayers were a HUGE part of overcoming my battle, so know that I never take anyone of you for granted. I have so much love for you all!
< Now for those who havent followed along and missed the journey of my battle, feel free to look up those posts if youd like, You can find them on the right side column of this blog under Blog Archive or at the very bottom of the page you can click on older posts. So if your interested get yourself on over there and check them out to come upto date!I aint going any where so take your time and read it at your own pase. Now most of you know that its been the craziest & hardest 2 years of my life, like I said before life doesnt just throw curve balls it throws astroids. If being diagnosed, going through treatments, loosing my hair and all that stuff & more wasn't enough to make my world fall apart I lost some of the most precious people to me in my life which pretty much just shatterd not only my life into pieces but also my heart. Because of everything going on it was and still is a very depressing time for me and my family, it's hard to get used to all the changes. Especially when we found out my Dad was diagnosed with early stages of the same exact cancer I had, 1 week after I was told I was in remission (clear of my disease). Although I was sooo happy for me it was hard to be celebrating knowing everything I worked so hard to get rid of in my life left me & into my dad. This is something I would wish on no one & for it to come back like this, it was just something I had a hard time accepting. So Full of mixed emotions it was alot to handle & decided it was time to take a break off of everything & start to focuse on recovering and trying to start over. I am now here 3 months later & boy have things changed! I thank God for every day I wake up and for him allowing me to be part of another day in this world. Things are looking up & Im sooooo excited to see whats instore for the future! & Drum roll pleaaase . . . . Im so excited to share with you all FINALLY its here!!!
< April 2014 My clothing line Chromatic L'Amour Will FINALLY launch! Words cant describe how blessed proud & excited Iam right now!!! Thank you Lord Jesus!! God is good!!! There has been sooooo many ups and downs as y'all know to finally announce its here is the most accomplished feeling ever!! Alot of people said I wasn't sick or that there was a high chance I would not be here right now. They also said I woud never Make it this far, Well to all those people and to those who say Miracles arent real "YOUR LOOKING AT ONE!!!" Not only am I "CANCER FREE" but I started my own clothing company while I was sick so that I could make a difference in this world to spread the word of cancer awarenes & help others that needed help like I did. For every purchase made there will be a donation that goes to cancer research and helping cancer patients. This event in my life means so much to me its something I've dreamed of my whole life it feels like its all a dream. It just goes to show that all the hard work, blood,sweat,tears & hater comments paid off!! Thank you Haters hahaha!! If it wasnt for all your negativity I wouldnt be as pumped driven & motivated to prove your lame asses wrong! To all those out there who are following there dreams or trying to accomplish something whether its getting through high school,or going out to start your own buisness or catch your dream, do it!!! There is no reason why you cant do it. there will be many ups downs & astroids to try and ruin your plans but if your pure of heart and truly love what your doing, who else other than God on your side do you need. No matter what happens you will lend up where ur suppost to be, & I truley belive that is whats happening in my life right now.
