Meet our Contributors: Lauren of The Cornwell Fam




How long have you lived in the Carolinas and where are you from originally from?

I have lived in the Carolinas for about 7 years. I originally moved to South Carolina to be closer to my parents and finish school at the University of South Carolina. I most recently moved to North Carolina after getting married. My dad was in the Navy so as a child I moved around a lot but the majority of my life we lived in Coronado, California, a small beach town in San Diego.

What is your favorite thing about the Carolinas?

I love everything about the Carolinas.  I love that you can spend one day hiking a waterfall and the next meandering down a cobblestone street rich with history. I love that everyone dresses up for football games. I love the food, especially oyster roasts and barbeque. I love that you can dip your toes in the Atlantic and it’s warm (something California beaches are missing).

How long have you been blogging?

I have been blogging for about a year and a half now, I can’t believe how time flies.

What is your favorite thing about blogging?

As sappy as it sounds, the community. I love meeting people with similar and not so similar lives. I am constantly finding inspiration from other bloggers about faith, marriage, teaching and fashion. I love that I have found such an uplifting little pocket of the internet and am always so excited to read, laugh and learn from others on this blogging adventure.

Tell us a little about your blog.
 My blog originally started as a way to share information with our (my husband was actually the one who started it, being the computer savvy man he is) wedding. It has since morphed into a place that is reflective of who I am. A place where I talk about date nights with the hubster, Art Education, Jesus, clothes I wear (mostly thrifted), and projects I make.

Meet our Contributors: Waverly of Little Lady in the South


Waverly (don't you just love her name?!)

How long have you lived in the Carolinas and where are you from originally from?
I’ve lived in the beautiful Palmetto state all of my life. I’m originally and currently living in the Upstate of South Carolina. I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. I’m a short ride from the mountains and only 3 hours away from Charleston, my second home.

What is your favorite thing about the Carolinas?
Even though we’ve had some crazy weather recently I love our warm weather and sticky summers. There is just something special about living in the Carolinas. This is home to me and I have to say we have a different way of life that I love!

How long have you been blogging?
Little Lady in the South will be celebrating its 1-year anniversary of blogging on June 3rd! It has been a really interesting learning experience starting a blog but it’s a wonderful creative outlet and I’ve been able to connect with some amazing women.

What is your favorite thing about blogging?

Sharing my absolutely random thoughts: I don’t think I fit a particular “blogger mold” so I call myself a lifestyle blogger. I thrive on reader’s comments; if they ask for a recipe I make sure to write a new post with a recipe!

Give a brief description of your blog.
Little Lady in the South is where I blog about my life as a recent college graduate planning a wedding and being thankful everyday for living in the South. The best way to describe my blog is a southern lifestyle blog. You’ll find everything from outfit inspiration to party planning or even beauty product reviews. My goal is for my readers to grab their glass of sweet tea, sit on their front porch, and read Little Lady in the South.
