Which shot is your fave BTW? Sometimes I have a difficult time choosing the best combo of expression vs outfit details. 🍂1, 2 or 3?

I hope we never stop dancing in the kitchen and giggling like dorks to jokes that literally NOONE else thinks are funny.

To be with you is to be 100% myself: the good, the bad, the beauty and the spot cream all over my face at night. It’s like entering eternal, perfect summer just to be with you- my home, my human, my Luke. #LukeAndLavenda

Reminder to myself today, to live out my love for others through action and servitude. To the exhausted student, sleep-deprived mama, or overworked boss-babes: God is SO good and will give you strength today!! Whether it’s going out of your way to open the door for someone, fold their laundry, make them coffee, let’s make sure to SHOW our love, not just express it today. xoxo 😘

Had the BEST time at @heathmanportland to celebrate our #OneYearAnniversary this weekend.
These past two years have been an absolute whirlwind. Can’t believe I get to spend the rest of my life with you, my sweetest love. Everything from your dorky jokes and your kids-bop dance moves, to your genuine heart and courageous spirit- you are my perfect dream man. Can’t wait for all the years ahead. #LukeAndLavenda

Bottega Veneta began this pouch trend, but I’ve linked up a few dupes that shave of a few thousand 💵 from the price tag. 🙈🙏🏼 You’re welcome.

I’ve been obsessing over new furniture and decor since we moved into the new split-level. I’ve spent the last 12 years or so decorating craftsman style homes, so coming back to a mid-century vibe is the ultimate challenge ☺️ #homedecor #whitebrickfireplace #roundmirror

We had SO much fun working with @saintcupcakepdx on this #bridalstyle shoot. I’ve always thought alternatives, like a cupcake tower, for weddings was so posh and fun!
_
My friend @laurapopan styled the table with fresh greens and florals, for a stunning bohemian affect and you can swipe to see the overall effect with the rest of our seating areas.

I’m SO excited to be planning our big reception for this summer and wanted to get ALL your tips from #weddinginvitations to bridesmaid gifts! It’s almost overwhelming to think of all the details, isn’t it?! 🤪 #portlandwedding #saintcupcakepdx #lavendascloset #portlandblogger #pdxwedding

One thing that’s majorly changed for me in my 30’s, has been my workout regimen. #fitspo
_
In my twenties I relied mostly on muscle memory, doing short at-home workouts sporadically and then eventually learning to love running. I ran for almost three years but realized that while I could remain lean while running 3-5 miles a day, I was quickly losing all my Puerto Rican curves. Even my booty disappeared! 😱
_
In the midst of developing my personal style blog, I also began exploring other workout methods like circuit training and barre. Barre was my favorite, but unfortunately, waaaayyyyy out of my budget. When I met this cutie right here, I was kind of lost and had fallen into some pretty bad habits all around. Then, Luke introduced me to full-on weight training. And it was SUCH an aha moment for me! It took about 3 months for me to see my first round of insane results. I remember being shocked by the sculpture of my newfound muscles and how little work it actually took to build them!
_
Even if I’m traveling, I can find a gym nearby or do a hit workout with DIY weights at my hotel. Plus, it’s SO fun. The workout variations are endless and I can finish a full workout in 30 minutes if I’m pressed for time. (Normally I prefer a warm up and/or I’m messing around on my phone and it’s an hour.)
_
Here I was, just over 30 and finally discovering a workout that I both loved and fit into my lifestyle. Fast forward to today, and I’ve literally never felt stronger, healthier, or more in shape. Anyone else have a workout 🏋️‍♂️ love story?!

PS Still sick at home this week with a respiratory infection. Trying to get all the rest and nutrients as possible, but definitely share with me your favorite Netflix shows and soup recipes!!
