Details in Caption - #Portlands most iconic events is happening this weekend! The @ladds500 is back, baby—and this time, the cars are gone and the weird is way up.

Picture a hundred humans dressed like bananas, hot dogs, and interdimensional wizards, riding bikes in endless loops around one of #Portland’s most delightfully confusing roundabouts.

No finish line. No rules (except don’t be a jerk). Just pure, pedal-powered absurdity. Whether you're racing, heckling, or just vibing with a six-pack and a lawn chair, this is #Portlandor performance art at its finest. Ladd’s Addition becomes Ladd’s Addiction—and yes, your legs will feel it in the morning.

Paella Party Alert in Edison, WA! 🚨If you haven’t been to #Edisonwa yet, let me introduce you to the tastiest little town in the middle of nowhere! Seriously, blink and you’ll miss it—but you don’t want to because THIS is where the magic happens.

You know when you stumble upon a place and think, “Wait… am I in Spain?” Well, that’s exactly what I thought at the Paella Party hosted by Slough Food @sloughfood and Paella Works @paellaworks l, And let me tell you, I was NOT ready for the incredible food and laid-back vibes.

We rolled up thinking, “This will be cute,” and then BAM—giant paella pans sizzling away in the courtyard, the smell of saffron hitting you like a warm hug, and sangria so good, it should be illegal.

So, here’s how you can join in the fun:

The next #Paella Party is on October 27th from 11 AM to 3:30 PM at the Slough Food Courtyard. Paella Works will be serving up delicious seafood paella for just $20 a plate. And let me tell you, it’s worth every penny. Drinks are by Slough Food, and the sangria is a *must-try*. No reservations are needed—just show up and get in on the goodness.

Now for my top tips:

1. Get there early. Paella goes fast, and trust me, you don’t want to be the one staring at an empty pan.
2. Bring cash! Edison is adorable, but Wi-Fi? Not so much. Don’t get caught without it.
3. Grab the sangria (or two). It’s *that* good.
4. Wear stretchy pants. You’re going to want more than one plate of this paella.
5. Take a stroll around the town after. Edison is small but filled with quirky shops and galleries worth exploring. You’ll need the walk after all that food.

Why should you go? If you’re a foodie, this paella will change your life. It’s legit, cooked over open flames, and packed with flavor.

Plus, the courtyard setting gives you that perfect blend of laid-back Sunday vibes and foodie heaven. For drink lovers, the #sangria is next-level, so refreshing and fruity.

Just wrapped up an incredible candle-making class at Mad Sass Soap Co.'s Lake Oswego location! 🕯️✨ Under the expert guidance of Marc, who, along with his wife Naomi, founded this amazing company, we delved into the art of crafting our own unique candles.

Mad Sass Soap Co. is renowned for its handcrafted, vegan, and paraben-free bath and body products, all designed with sensitive skin in mind. Naomi's journey began in 2018 when she sought skincare solutions for her twins' eczema-prone skin. What started as a personal mission blossomed into a thriving business, with their products now featured in luxury hotels, grocery stores, and boutiques nationwide.

Their candle-making classes offer a hands-on experience where participants learn the intricacies of the craft and pour two unique candles to take home. These workshops are a fantastic way to immerse yourself in the world of candle making and create something truly special.

If you're interested in joining one of these workshops, I highly recommend reaching out to Mad Sass Soap Co. directly through their Instagram page or visiting their website for the latest class schedules. It's an experience that combines creativity, learning, and fun—a perfect outing for friends or a solo adventure.

When your loved ones hit you with the ol’ ‘hang in there, spring is coming’ pep talk, but you’re over here like Frodo in Mordor—haven’t seen the sun since the dinosaurs roamed, forgot what strawberries taste like, and the closest thing to fresh air is opening the fridge. At this point, I’d chuck the One Ring into Mount Doom myself for some Vitamin D and a snack. Somebody slap me awake when it’s tulip season! 🌷😂

Whale, whale.. look who’s back! 🐋 Send this to a friend who needs to see this once in their life
