    Pops of Color- Spring is here

    || Dress: Lila Rose Boutique ||Statement Necklace: Sweet Tea Jewels || Shoes: Jack Rogers || Bangles: Sweet Tea Jewels || 20% off Sweet Tea Jewels code: LITTLESOUTHERNLIFE Here in South Carolina, we are enjoying spring weather, and I have fully embraced the bright side of this season this year to say the least.

    Chi-chi-chia everything!

    Happy Foodie Friday, y’all! I am sharing with y’all one of my favorite additions to any meal—chia seeds!

    Yoga is for everyone!

    By: Danielle Cuccio – celebrity yoga instructor, CEO of Cuccio Somatology (www.CuccioSomatology.com) Blog: www.TheBeautyBlender.com. Photos: Kathryn Page (http://www.kathryn-page.com/) Yoga can be seen as somewhat spiritual, “guru-y”, but in actuality, it doesn’t have to be that at all.  Yoga can be whatever you want it to be.  It can be slow, it can be fast.  It can be spiritual, it can be purely physical.  It really is what you make it.
