Getting Ready for the Summer

What's good readers, so I have been super busy because it is the end of the semester, and I have to grind out these last three weeks so I can enjoy the summer. I didn't want to leave you all empty handed until then though, so I decide to post some tips for my voluptuous ladies. The summer is hastily approaching and I know many of you didn't do your Kayne workout plan over the winter break, and now it is time to toss the sweaters aside and slide (or squeeze) into some of this seasons most fashionable looks. Now I have begun planning my summer wardrobe and I thought I'd pass on one of the most prized tips that I ever received. FOUNDATION, now when I say that, I don't mean make-up, I am referring to the foundations that your must invest in to have a flawless body during the summer. Now you will have to make a small investment on a nice undergarment that will fit properly and accentuate all of those curves that the man upstairs blessed you with! Many women don't know what their "correct" bra size is. I recommend going to a specialty store if you are over the size of a DDD, just to make sure that you are wearing a garment that can support the weight of your bosom and relieve the stress off your back. If you are between the sizes of A-DD, then go into any lingerie store, like Victoria Secret, JC Penny, Macy's, or whatever your specialty store in your area is. Many of these stores have women that have been trained to properly measure the correct portions of your body, and they will guide you in the right direction in regards to selecting a brand, and style that will accentuate and flatter your curvations frame.



This is one of my favorite items from the brand SPANX: they are the High-falutin' Footless with Lace only $32, check out Spanx.com and browse the site. You will have to read the size chart (this is important) to select a style that best fits your daily attire, and lifestyle. You can machine wash, I don't recommend using a dryer!

If you don't want to order online, check out your local plus size fashion store. Lane Bryant or Ashley Stewart.

Juicy Confession of the Week: Sizeable Vibrations

Dear Juicy Dre,

So I don’t know if this is even worthy of being a Juicy Confession, but here goes. I have been dating my boyfriend for quite sometime now, we both go to school here, and I have been having a wondering eye. My man always wants to know why we don’t have sex more often, I always find some excuse, but mostly I tell him our relationship is not based on sex. Cause really I do enjoy our relationship, but the truth is…….he has a small member. I know, I know I just said that I like the relationship, but in reality I think I might have been out the door if it wasn’t for my toys. They of course are spectacular and I love them, when I don’t want to play around with him, I play with them. They are what I think are keeping me in this relationship, and my wondering eye well its only wondering now. I really want to be in this relationship, but I am not being satisfied, is it my fault he is not equipped. Should I tell him how I feel or just keep doing what I’m doing?

Sizeable Vibrations


Hello Sizable Vibrations,

Now I will have to apologize off the bat, because it has taken me a while to respond to this confession. In reality I have had to think about how to formulate a possible solution for you without being insensitive to your partner’s shortcomings (no pun intended). To start, in consultation with my friends many of them said that it doesn’t matter the size for satisfaction, but one does have to posses a different set of skills, if they have shortcomings. I would suggest communicating your confusions with him first, you know him better than anyone (hopefully) and with sincere concern for your satisfaction, your partner may be open to hearing some suggestions on enhancing his routine and possible open to learning a few new tricks. Now as for the toys, there is nothing wrong with that, unless the combination of that wandering eye and your search for satisfaction may lead you to search for a man with that particular size thus abandoning your current situation or leading you down a path where your decision making skill may become skewed resulting in an unfavorable ending to your relationship. In all honesty, there are many components to a relationship; sex is just a mere portion of it, if it is a portion at all. You will personally have to decide are you staying in this relationship because you are comfortable with your partner or are you satisfied. We are young and if you are staying merely because you are comfortable and this is something to do, then maybe you should reevaluate this situation, and if you are not willing to be honest with your partner, trust me, this will bother you until you decide to cheat or leave. If you want to be satisfied within your relationship fully, you must communicate with your partner fully, because in the end he probably won’t be waking up tomorrow and be well hung, so that’s the member that he has, and if you want to stick around you’re gonna have to learn to make it do what it does for you.

Juicy Confessions Response: Tired Az Hell

For everyone who doesn’t know that I have a Radio show on the student radio station 91.7fm WSUM. I am a radio personality by the name of Juicy Dre, and my show is The Juice Box a mix of Sultry Cococure tunes, with juicy relationship advice. On my facebook profile I have the Honesty Box application where people can anonymously submit Juicy Confessions or ask for advice. Sometimes I will air the Confessions live on the show, and sometimes I reply with my honest opinion about their issues.

Juicy Confession Response of the Week:

Dear Juicy Dre,

I have a confession to make. I like this boy and I haven’t told him, but he should know; besides that we are not in an exclusive relationship, but we have fooled around NO SEX yet though. The one thing that bothers me about him is that he messes with this other girl and probably many more. But me and her share a ton of mutual friends and she tells them about all the stuff she does with him, given I am not her friend; my friends are like he’s no good, but girl he is nasty and I like that…Anyway what should I do, I don’t wanna catch something or better more be played for a fool, since he is messing with a KNOWN HOE, everybody knows she is trashy. I kind of think he is an idiot for messing with her, but I want him for myself. Do you think I need to keep checking on him or let him go?

Tired az hell!


Hello Tired Az Hell,

First off I have to say that your concern about your health should be number one. You should always know about your sexual partner no matter the fashion of the activity. Knowing is Power, it allows you to make sound decisions about your personal health. Now to address the question of should you keep pursuing him or let it go, I would say LET IT GO!!! Obviously he has too many options and you are one of them. I will have to say that it may be hard for you to go backwards in this situation, you know from freak buddy to girlfriend, because one he doesn’t know you really like him for boyfriend material and then you both have not set up any terms. By not setting terms to this whole excursion, you have allowed it to carry on to a point of uncomfortability and uncertainty in your partner. By not communicating your real intentions you may have lost this potential mate to a women of certainty and possible aggression, she may have laid out the terms of their situation and intern she is in and you are out. So I have two things to say, if you are not willing to out your feelings to this person then chalk this one up to a lose and count your blessing for those girls who talk to much and let you in on the goods before you got in too deep. Remember a hoe is gonna be a hoe regardless of what anyone thinks of her, you cannot and most likely will not alter her behavior, don’t worry about her, you could learn something from the aggression (forwardness) that many of them display. As a women who want more remember these words: Never allow yourself to become someone’s Option, if not a Priority ACCEPT NOTHING!

The JUICE BOX update

So I have defiantly been loving my show. I have done about 5 shows so far and last night I even got to sneak into my friends time slot (which is way earlier than mine at 10pm) and we had about 70 listeners on that radar. I was pleasantly surprised and I can’t wait to see how many new people begin to listen to my show this week, and how many people will peak the radar FRIDAY NIGHT at 3am. In all honesty I was a little afraid to host the show by myself, because I think everyone has a little fear of failure, what if something goes wrong then what am I to do. Oh and believe me I have had my share of mishaps on the show, but the good thing is I have listeners that stay tuned in. They are coming back and I can’t wait for them to comment, and leave feedback about what they love and hate about the show. So far we have had small topics and people have been engaged, but it seems the more shows we do the more women and men become engaged they call in ( I know right, at 3am) and even participate via facebook. I love THE JUICE BOX, it’s looking like this could be something great!

The Juice Box

Okay, Okay so I know that I am slacking in the blogging department. Since school has been underway, I’ve had to allot all my free time to reading and random homework assignments, but don’t worry I have not forgotten about you all. So for any of you that don’t know I have a radio show on campus called “The Juice Box”, it airs live every FRIDAY NIGHT at 3am on wsum.org. The aim for my show is to engage my listeners in intriguing conversation about sex and relationships, there is a portion of my show that will address a specific question for everyone to ponder, they can feel free to call in or just send an honesty box message, with their concerns, or ideas. I was thinking about doing something called “Juicy Confessions” were people could call in completely anonymous and dispel their juiciest secrets, things that they want to get off their chest but did know when the right time was to say it. I will also have an honesty box were they can go in and say what they want, because our campus is so small that peoples concern is that someone will pick up on their voice.

My first show aired last night and I had a couple of listeners, I was a tad surprised because it was late/early in the morning. That’s exactly why I decided to switch my show to Tuesday at 12midnight, it will give people the chance to actually be up, and not feel they have to stay up to catch my sultry tunes. I hope that my show will become a small success; there are no other shows that play R&B, so hopefully students will enjoy this show. My aims are to include mainstream, but also highlight, some underground or rare artist and newly leaked songs.

So don’t be afraid to check me out, at wsum.org on Tuesday nights at 12midnight!

Forgiveness: A Mended Heart

It’s funny how this thing we call life can deal you some of the shittiest hands, and at the same time it could be relieving you of a burden that you would have never known that you had. My friends tell me that I am never honest about my true feelings, I have been compared to a onion, having so many layers peeling them off a little at a time only when necessary to divulge information on a need to know basis.

The funny thing is that I have never thought of myself in such a way. I have always been private, its easier telling people as little as possible about you to avoid conflict and conviction. The more I talk about who I am aloud I find that I surprise myself more and more, being multifaceted, is complicated when when you want to be stone cold.

Today I felt completed to peel back one of my layers, while I was completing the many meaningless task that I preform at work, “ The Heart of the Matter” by India Arie steamed across my airwaves, and I immediately felt engulfed in the passion that was exuded from her heart felt melody. The sad thing is that I couldn't figure out why I couldn't’t let go. It’s because I hadn’t forgiven. Forgiveness, one of the most important steps to moving on in reality, not just telling oneself to move on, but really taking that leap back into reality and out of self misery to being to live again.

I’ve been heart broken for over a year, yes I can admit that over a year. I have sauked in it, cried, screamed, layed lifeless for weeks in pity, loathing in my own self inflicted sadness. I’ve never known such a pain, a pain that makes you completely debilitated, numb to life. The pain of losing something that you can never get back. I got that call over a year ago, the call that made me want to stop in the middle of I-94 and completely turn my car around to drive over 700 miles to make things right, to go back to tomorrow, when everything was ok. When my heart was overflowing with the love that I and only I was receiving unconditionally. The greatest pain I’ve ever experienced in life was having my heart hand back to me.

Over this past year, I have found myself fighting with not only my heart, but with my physical spirit about letting this thing go. I have tried so many things to let this thing go, I found Hate to be one of the most helpful ones, but as my mother always said, wishing someone into the same misery that you are in will never remedy a situation. Trust me I tried ignoring it, feeling that I have conquered it, but as soon as idle time reared its ugly head, I found myself back in the same pitiful state.

All the while, not opening my eyes to the thing that will have set me free in the first place. Today I have finally taken that step. Today my heart has finally let it go. I have learned to stand alone. I have relearned to be joyful, to enjoy the little things about myself again, and yes….. I have forgiven you whole heartedly even if you don’t love me anymore. Know that you are forgiven, time can heal all wounds, and my time has finally arrived, God delivered me this morning in one of most unexpected places, he restored my heart to love again.
