I am KC

A little bit about Lavender and Lemons. The idea behind this blog is I wanted to create a place where women can come and get a real, raw, honest perspective on the things we women go through in our day to day lives. I am far from perfect, and rarely am I living up to capacity I imagine my life to be. But, I do  have a little bit of experience, knowledge, and a goal of complete transparency.  I am just a girl with a testimony, life experience, and a passion to serve the Lord. I will be bringing you posts that cover the following; beauty tips and tricks, skin care advice, fitness motivation, healthy lifestyle choices, the importance of self care, wisdom on self love and so much more. I am bursting with inspiration, and truly feel that God has brought me here for such a time as this to create a place where I can share my witness, testimony, and experiences with you!

So about me…..

I am KC, and my special passion for women has come from my own experiences that I have personally walked through. The journey I have traveled to finding self love, and complete healing from my past was a long, painful, and treacherous one. But at 32 years old I can say with blessed confidence, I am there. My past is simply that. My past. It’s behind me. And I’ve truly moved on from it. I am not that shattered, broken, and bruised woman, desperate for validation, and love in all the wrong places anymore. I am no longer looking through a foggy, or clouded mirror that tells me lies, and causes me to question if I am worthy. My identity is not built off of a false reflection, or unattainable standard of beauty. Instead, I am a woman of faith. A woman after God’s approval, and love. I am worthy. I am valuable. And I can say with confidence now, that I truly love myself. The flaws, the scars, and the imperfections, I accept fully and completely, and that is something to be celebrated. There have been so many moments in my life where I chose the hard road. I have literally lost everything, and had to be rebuilt God’s way. He stripped me down to almost nothing, and he started rebuilding me 7 years ago. I was forced to take better care of myself physically, get healing emotionally, and mentally, and face some major giants. But, he was with me through it all, and I am now filled with so much wisdom, and knowledge. It’s all built up in me and I cannot wait to share what I know. Whether it be about beauty, skin care, gut and thyroid health, or the deeper more pressing issues that aren’t as easy to talk about. This blog is my canvas, and even if just one girl is touched, and changed by my witness and story, then that makes every bit of pain worth it. I have worked as a licensed esthetician in Orange County, and LA county for the past 10 years. I’ve spent the majority of those years in the trenches of plastic surgery surrounded by unimaginable levels of vanity. And let me tell you I’ve seen it all, and heard it all. There are so many broken women searching for answers, and someone they can trust. I hope through this blog I can be even just a small part of your healing, and comfort. And I hope that this can also be a fun place to motivate, and learn about all the other things that make us feel, and look beautiful. Because that is important too!

Join me as I grow, and inspire me, as I hope to inspire you through LaL! I love you!
