ReVamp!
Hello Hello & Hello again,
Orginally when I started this blog I wanted it to be fashion for curvy women like myself. However, I feel as though I dont want to limit myself to just that! SO, this blog will be about everything, fashion, my life, and any random moment I may have..

I think that having a goal is crucial, and for myself my goal is to be healthy, and I desire it very much, so you all will get the joy of watching me lose my baby fat ive been trying to lose for years LOL!

I mean, the last month or so, things have been consistently great. I have done away with drama filled people.. It was like having 10 leeches placed at various parts of my body..and it wasn't cool at all. Drained is the half of it..Now I'm meeting new people which is incredible, like for real! I used to hate to meet new people, its like ugh.. i have to tell you my whole life story..or a condensed version of it.. go through the first fight..all the late night conversations..sure its fun at first..but in there gonna be something that happens and theres going to be this nasty taste in my life! Yeah..seriously I hated meeting new people.. And the thought of splitting myself more to hang ahh..its like you know if you spend all your time helping others, being there for others..listening to others moan and groan about things they will never change.. well you miss out on something very crucial.. YOU! I mean its great to be there for people, but sometimes you have stop and say if I'm that person to everyone..who's that person to me? I mean you can be your own best hero, you just have to love yourself, and love yourself enough to set time for yourself to just be alone, and marinate in that freedom. Not worrying about a cell phone text-facebook-twitter-youtube-- you catch my drift. Its crazy how freeing life can be.. Cuz i feel so free and full a life.. 6 months ago.. i prob. wouldnt even let out a ounce of a smile, now.. my cheeks hurt because I smile so..I'm so full of life.

To online date? Or to not online date?
First and foremost, this is my personal experience, don't let me hinder you or sway you in your decision to online date. Now that after that, I shall now share my experience with you all. Brace yourself...
...Let's start with...
eHARMONY!
First and foremost eHarmony is expensive, I signed up for a 3 months stint paying about 60 bucks a month for 3 months. By the end of my sign up and getting the secure profile I spent over 200 dollars in 3 months, and lets say it wasn't worth it. Like seriously wasn't worth it, I could have taken myself on an EXPENSIVE date, and had money left over. Lets not forget the key part.. I would have enjoyed myself.
I went on 2 dates in those three months. First of all, you guys know me. I am 6ft tall woman! All the guys were under 6ft. I remember calling eHarmony and complaining. I was so upset bc to me I was dishing out a lot of money, and not getting any decent prospects. I'm like I'm sorry, I'm 6ft tall, I'm not dating better yet considering dating anyone that's 5'2. The operators response? Love comes in all shapes and sizes, if you really fall in love, that wont matter. My response, so you're telling me that you want me to settle? See that's what I hate about these sites, bc I felt like I had to settle. I felt like I had already said I accepted all races, all religious, and it didn't matter if they guy had kids. You know that's just not me. My guy criteria is pretty simple.
1. Be over 6ft tall.
2. Have a great sense of humor.
3. Be a man of Christ.
4. Have a stable job.
5. Have his own car.
6. Have an education.
To me, that list is pretty simple. But that operator pissed me off something good. I was like I want my money back trick LOL! But I was so serious. So shortly after that I connected with this guy. He was OVER 6ft, and everything else was down hill, but thought I'd give him a chance. God, the way he described himself over eharmony, and over the phone, and everything else made me soooo thinking maybe this could be good. Lord have mercy, when I met him in person.. I was disgusted. He looked trashy, like seriously, acted trashy, and just everything about him was bull. Im like WHO are you?!? I know I sound bad, but im not saying you have to be all that and a bag of chips, but dang he was salty! And he looked NOTHING like his picture on eHarmony. That was a bust not the looking part, but the whole package.
So I left him alone, and started talking to this other guy, he seemed soo cool, I decided i didn't wanna waste 4 weeks like the last one getting to know someone, so I met him 3 days after talking to him. Though he wasn't EXACTLY how he described AT ALL I continued to date him. He was soo interesting, and I was intrigued by him. He was the opposite of everything that I wanted and I decided that maybe that was my problem, that I needed to try something new. Let me tell you, it gets exhausting meeting new people, and trying to get to know someone. This guy was from a difference race from me, so I think learning each others cultures intrigued us both. Well, I was enjoying our month together, and one minute we were cool, and next it was the I love you, we should change our school and work schedules to match each other, and you should move in. When I think about it, that happened week 2.
That's a lot for someone like me who is deathly afraid of COMMITMENT. Commitment give me a rash, makes me feel like I am chocking on air, better yet like i am suffocating. I was in one long relationship, that ended badly and has warped my perception of what a relationship should be like. Anywho. I decided to back off, and the more I backed off the more the guy came back like 10x harder. It got bad, like real bad, I almost had to change my number. I ended up having to pay a small fee for ATT to block him. He then found me on FB and Youtube and kept sending me msgs. You can only tell a person to back off for so long. After that experience I kept paying for eHarmony, but didnt bother to sign in.
I also tried match.com...lets just say that seemed more like a booty call place than a real place to find someone.
After my experience I made a good evaluation that online dating just was not for me. I rather run into mister right or not right, or whomever he maybe than experience what I did on online dating.. Make your own assumptions. I hope it works out for you if your considering online dating!

There's No Place Like Home...Seriously!
Hello everyone. What a chaotic week it has been! My car broke down last week, and I stayed with one of my friends, so that I could get to and from work. I have no complaints because I am greatly thankful no doubt! However, I will say I am glad to be home.
So, I live with my mother, but we are more so like roommates. I come home, and she may or may not be here. Even if she is, I tend to do my own thing, and she does the same. So, after living with 2 people in a decent size house for years, you get used to certain surroundings you know? So, my friend has a 9 month old precious daughter, her two younger brothers, her mom, dad, and let's not forget the animals. It was like culture shock.
There's a huge difference from living with someone and hanging out. I clearly see the defining line. I was only there for 4 days, and I just don't know how she does it. I don't want to be negative, I've said that already, but I don't, because once again I'm grateful, and if she reads this, I'm just not tryna hurt feelings. But by my fourth day I was irritated, I needed quite time. I never craved to be alone than on that day. Everything bothered me. I don't watch much TV but my show came on one night, and with all the racket I couldn't tell you what happened. I didn't bother to even do homework while I was there, bc I knew I would be frustrated, and now I'm behind. No ones fault but my own. What else?!?! I got sick. I'm not sure if it was because I'm not used to animals in a house, or if it was because one of her little brothers was sick, whatever it was, I just uhhh im just glad I'm home.
I learned a valuable lesson, NEVER wish for someone else's life. What I mean is be grateful for what you have. I guess i took simple things for granted, like peace and quite, Internet, and so much more. Staying with my friend has made me appreciate my mom, for her helping me out, for providing me with a stable environment. Once again.. there's no place like home.

Day 09- Something you’re proud of in the past few days
Okay, so I mustn't lie. I was sitting here thinking and thinking and thinking some more, what am i proud of?!?! What has made me proud within the last few days? I'm thinking, hard, and nothing comes to mind. Well, I guess I can say I am proud of the woman I am becoming. I am branching out, I used to be SO dependent, and self-conscious about myself. Somewhere within the few weeks, my confidence has spiked, and quite frankly I've become ballsy. See that can be misconstrued to something negative, but really its not. I used to say I kept it 100% I would tell you the truth point blank, in a respectable manner of course but seriously, I didn't give a hoot if I hurt your feelings. Now, I keep it real, I still don't sugar coat, BUT the difference is I truly mean it. If someone asked me say a month ago, hey lets go do this, and that then that and this, I probably would have thought dang it, I've got sooo much to do, I really do not need to be wasting time doing something I truly don't want to do, but yet I would find a way to justify that action as acceptable in my mind and do it. Now, I just say no, I don't give an explanation because I feel like I don't need to justify my actions to anyone...well maybe my mother, but come on she birthed me. So, what am I proud of? Well, I'm proud of me, for getting my priorities straight, and just taking time to be free! We all need some mental health days!

Day 08- Short term goals for this month and why
Hmmm I don't like goals. I don't like them because I don't like putting time limits on anything. It can restrict me because I know that I have 23 more days until I have to get this or that done, but on the other hand it makes me stay on top of whatever needs to be done. So my goals for the remainder of this month is to:
1. Eat healthier and exercise more. Holiday season is around the corner, and I don't need to gain anymore wait but maintain or loose. Plus exercising is such an amazing feeling, and it gives me a reason to go outside take in the scenery, and listen to music AND burn some fat.
2. Get rid of useless stuff. I have sooo much stuff its ridiculous, clothes on top of clothes, books, movies, you name it i prob. have it in my room. You know I've got 5 lamps in my room. Why you may wonder?!?! They were on SALE and I just couldn't pass it up. Pathetic! I know!!
3. Go to church every week. Enough said.
4. You still wisely, I sure know how to waste time doing a bunch of nothing!
5. Study more! School is important and grades only show for the most part the amount of studying you do. So I need to def. study more so my grades can improve.
These are 5 short term goals for myself, surely I can meet these goals...right?!?

Day 07- A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you
I find it interesting that someone pretty much asked me, aren't you past the age of hanging out with your mother?? My response, I will never be too old to hang out with my mother, I will never let anyone come between me and my wonderful mother, and no friend, nor foe will ever make me feel like my relationship with my mother is too much. I'm just saying...
So ladies, call your mothers, let them know you appreciate them, or if you feel like you cant do that, just thank them for giving you life. I mean that's huge on its own.

Day 06- Favorite Super Hero And Why
I think it all started with Soulja Boy: He taught all of us how to crank that soulja boy and superman that oooh. LOL I'm totally kidding!!
Anywho its Superman all day everyday! Perhaps its my love for smallville that's based off of this epic hero. Its the I can fly, I have super sonic hearing, the seeing through objects, super strength, and the burning with his eyes!! All of it, I absolutely LOVE. NOW if he could just find a way to read minds, move objects with his mind, and tellaport!!!!
Oh Superman how I love your manly body, and protruding muscles. The way you can always coordinate in a red or blue shirt makes it easy for me to guesstimate what you will wear. The way you turn into a sexy super hero in a blink of an eye in a phone booth has me eagerly waiting at each phone booth on my street! Oh superman the way you fight crime and hide your identity makes you a true hero in my eyesight. Forever yours, curvalicous champ...

Day 05- A Picture Of Somewhere You’ve Been To
Viva Las Vegas!
It wasn't too long ago when I crossed state lines and found myself in good ole Sin City. I went there for my mother's birthday and ended up having a mini vacation of my own. Four days in Vegas with about 12 hrs of sleep in total in all those days. Let me tell you, it was worth every minute. The lights, the streets, the people, the shows, the solicitors, EVERYthing I loved. I even managed to meet this TALL hott guy out there.. Hmm if only I could have taken him hommme with me :( Oh bummer. Anywho, these pictures are from my short stay there. I swear I was such a tourist. I mean really, I took pictures of everything, only sad part.. I'm not in pretty much ANY of them. Its okay though because Ive got my memories to go off on ;)
I would say watch out for a video on this, but honestly Ive been saying that for the last 3 weeks, so hopefully I'll have this video up before my birthday which by the way is in January. Ha! Enjoy the pictures ^_^

Day 04- A habit that you wish you didn’t have.....
PROCRASTINATION!
In lovely WEBSTER’S dictionary it defines procrastination as “to put off”. Nicely said Webster. My definition…PURE LAZINESS. Somewhere within the last say….5 YEARS I’ve had a serious case of senioritis. You see, I thought senioritis would wear off AFTER I graduated from high school, but apparently not because it’s followed me into college too. It’s a very nasty habit that I’ve been meaning to get rid of, but have yet to conquer. It’s that it’s my day off I don’t feel like doing a got dang thing! Point blank, no excuse. I feel like because I’ve worked a 50 hour work week, and then I’ve had class, and had to do this and that. That laundry can wait, cleaning can wait, why make up my bed when I’m just going to get right back in it later in the day. Boy, laziness sure has taken over. Hopefully I can shake it, but until, ill major in procrastination because I’ve been studying it for awhile and have been acing that sucker!

Music Makes The World Go ARRROUND!
According to dictionary.com music is an art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions in significant forms through the elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, and color. For me my life revolves around music. Music makes the world go around, end of discussion. It’s the way combinations of mystical sounds can soothe you. The way one song can express everything you want to say without you speaking one word. It’s the way as soon as that one song comes on, it can make you reminisce back to the very first time you heard that song.
Pop, Rhythm and Blues, Hip-Hop, Alternative, Rock, Jazz, Country, Techno, Gospel, New Age, Classical, etc whatever your taste desires, it’s out there. Available for you even when you don’t know you need it. So there’s this one song by the lovely Jasmine Sullivan, it’s called “Holding You Down” If you haven’t heard it do so. This song for some reason takes me back to this guy that has this reoccurring role in my life. I know what you think, how so? Well he’s only reoccurring because I allow him to be quite frankly. But long story short we had a thing, and now this thing that’s been going on forever and a day (4 years) as grown tiresome on me, and I feel like I’m spinning and spinning on this endless merry go round that won’t end. Whew, felt great to get that out! Any who, this song makes me think of him, but in a way it makes me smile too. It makes me FEEL soo warm inside. What can I say I’m weird. But you ever listen to a song that gives you goose bumps? As for this song, it’s not that she sings so powerfully OR the song has some extraordinary meaning, it’s simply that I can relate to whomever made this song, and trust, it helps. So if you are wondering, below I will paste the lyrics of the song, check ‘em out if you like.

"Holding You Down (Goin' In Circles)"
Why cant I find somebody else
When I know
Know that you're doing wrong
Its so hard
Hard to let go
I done went through just about two bags of tissues baby
And you're looking at me like you ain't the issue baby
And though I tried to leave
I cant stop missing you baby
And I keep coming
I keep coming back
I keep going in circles, circles
Round and round
And while you're doing me so wrong
I just keep holding you down
I feel so stupid, foolish
Loving you all this way
Loving you all this way
But what I can I say
But I wanna go
I wanna go
But I keep coming back
Why I'm so confused for you,
I have no answer boy
When I feel so used by you just like a toy
Its a shame that you don't care enough
To even give me half the love I give to you
I live for you baby
I'm ashamed to say that I'm to blame for how you act
Cuz I keep coming
I keep coming back
I'm going in circles, circles
Round and round
And while you're doing me so wrong
I just keep holding you down
I feel so stupid, foolish
Loving you all this way
But what I can I say
But I wanna go
I wanna go
But I keep coming back
I cant stop... missing you baby
I stay cuz I love you
But I hate that I stay
You know I won't go
Thats why you treat me this way
I want to be happy
Though it hurts me so bad
Don't know what it is that keeps me coming back
Don't know what it is that keeps me coming back
Keep going in circles, circles
Round and round
And while you're doing me so wrong
I just keep holding you down
I feel so stupid, foolish
Loving you all this way
But what I can I say
But I wanna go
I wanna go
But I keep coming back

Day 03- A picture of you and your friends
I remember this exact day when we all took this picture. We were the three peas in a pod! We all went to dinner, and decided to be random and stop in a Lowe's parking lot to snap this picture. The wind was extremely rough, and I thought that my 'weave' was going to get all messed up! I remember this picture distinctly because it was the last one we all took together. Its crazy how things change and people you once were soooo close with become such a distant after thought. Sounds rough uh? But you know I'm being extremely truthful. I see these ladies, every so often, and I miss them dearly, but life comes at you so fast at times, and the simple thoughts of randomness seem so out of the ordinary these days. But here's to a great memory, a great picture and a night of fun. And here's to another day, where I will find myself doing this same thing when I can :).

Day 2: Curvalicious Fashion
When I first made this blog I thought it would be an adaptation to my YouTube channel (Truchamp06). Once creating this blog, I realized that it is not how I imagined it should be. Being plus size is not just about fashion. It’s a world of its own. It’s having an extra boost of confidence because we need it, it’s being determined, and having our own opinions. It’s about being who you want to be, and being a leader in this monstrous world. Plus size, curvy, big boned, thicke, fat, obese, curvalicious, heavy set, phat, big, huge, however you choose to define yourself so be it.
So back to the original question at hand, why did I choose my name? Curvalicious, was just a spectacular name to me, it was curvy with a umpf to it. Something out of the ordinary than saying big girl fashion. So that is where the lovely name Curvalicious was derived from. Hope you all enjoy my blog, continue to read on. Who knows what you might read next :)!

Day 1: Picture and 15 Facts..
![]() |
| Click On The Picture To See The REAL Difference |
I'm supposed to post a picture of myself. I got to thinking, does it have to be a current one? Or any one? Anywho, I took this picture for myself, this isn't a type that I would show to the world because in my own words I don't look my "best". However that is the reason why I am posting this. I think it is fundamental to love yourself through every stage you go through. Through your "ugliest" days to your most glamorous ones. I decided to show you all something, something. A little photo magic. Its a way that you can loose your identity too. Photo retouching has become automatic these days, you don't even have to put on make up, the computer can do it for you. It is quite crazy if you ask me, but take a look. Tell me what you see, and what difference it can and will make. I love me for me, and that's why I will always choose the picture on the left.
Fifteen Facts about me!
1. I've felt misunderstood my whole life.
2. I have a star fetish.
3. I keep the fortunes from my fortune cookies in a jar.
4. I'm at peace when I hear music.
5. I HATE black cats with yellow/green eyes.
6. I was deeply in love, but didn't realize how much until that person was gone.
7. I live by the quote, "Life is what you make it".
8. I love Blue Bell's Moo-llennium Crunch Ice Cream. YUMMY!
9. I used to dye my hair every month funky colors to feel like I had some sort of control over something.
10. I cry, more now than ever have in my life, but that's OK bc I don't see anything wrong with that :).
11. I will give my last dime to my closest friends and family.
12. I don't remember much before the age of 11.
13. Rolly Pollies were my favorite bugs to play with as a kid.
14. I used to run track.
15. I sleep with the A.C. super low, and 3 comforters each night.
Let's Take A Ride..
So, I was suddenly inspired after watching one of my friends video, and then reading her blog. She is truly an inspirational being, and doesn't slightly realize how much she has become such a blessing in my life. So, after reading her last couple entries of her blog I decided to tag along and follow in miss Mayra's (ThickngorgeouzZ) footsteps and do the 30 day blog challenge. This will truly be a challenge, because I feel like I have been so distant from the outside world myself. So, this challenge will push me to one open up, and two start to step out and see how bright this sun has been shinning since I've been in hiding.
So, here's to the next 30 days. Enjoy the ride! Below are the questions I will be answering daily.

Not A Laughing Matter!
Good afternoon! What can I say, today started off with a bang! I had a lovely dentists' appointment this morning, that I really was not looking forward to going to. Let me start off by saying FLOSS, in and around your teeth THOROUGHLY. Second tip, if you drink soda, don't drink that soda alll day, as in sipping, drink it with your meal, or however you do it and be done with it. With that said, here's where I went wrong. I went to the dentist like 6 months ago for a normal cleaning..and I was graced with unpleasant news.. 14 CAVITIES. Now dont go WTF Audrey because I am not GREEDY with the candy I swear, I brush my teeth A LOT and floss, hmm when I get something stuck in my teeth! YIKES! Lesson learned, so I'm a wuss, lets just call it plain and simple. In the last 6 months Ive gotten hmm like 9 of the 16 done. I just was not too motivated to get them done because the immense lock jaw and pain that I get. But the other day I decided you know what, let me do this, let's get this suckker done!
However, I should have reconsidered that. So I get there, and I'm talking to the doc, because last time I almost walked outta there with the instruments still in my mouth bc it hurt that bad. So, they decided you know what, let's just give you a bit of Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas) at first it was great. I was like awake, and then they cranked it up. Apparently it wasn't working as good as they thought. That's when the nauseous feeling came in. Trust, I let them know too! I snatched that mask off my face so fast, and said imma vomit LOL that caught both of their attentions because they backkkkked up off a sista!
Maybe it was the Lunesta I took last night that hadn't worn off all the way, mixed in with this lovely Nitrous, all and all, it made me sick several times, all over my new shirt! Oh boo! But hey, I can check this off as another learning lesson. Guess that's just how the cookie crumbles today!
All in all, 12hr of being sick, makes for cavity free teeth!
