    The Coziest Winter Nail Colors for January 2022

    The Coziest Winter Nail Colors for January 2022

    The beginning of a new year often has us all feeling like starting off fresh by taking on better habits, getting rid of old ones, and—most commonly—changing up our look. While others are hitting the squats and going into the salon for a pixie cut, why not start slow and steady with a cozy winter manicure in a color that feels new to you? It takes only a little courage to step outside your usual OPI Lincoln Park After Dark or Essie Bordeaux, which is all you need to kick 2022 off on a fanciful foot.  From new wintry takes on classic dark nail colors to unique pops of color that'll have you feeling the opposite of boring, these are the best nail colors to try this January and tick off all the way into spring.

    16 Kitchen Design Trends Southern Designers Predict Will Be Everywhere in 2022

    16 Kitchen Design Trends Southern Designers Predict Will Be Everywhere in 2022

    There's no denying how the pandemic fundamentally changed the world—including how we live (and work) inside our homes. An overall trend toward celebrating the history and originality of our homes is displacing ultramodern aesthetics and sharp lines as we all look to create cozier, colorful, more personalized spaces that better suit our lifestyles. We're turning away from big-box stores and toward vintage items—first, out of necessity due to supply-chain issues, and now, for design reasons—to add charm and character to every room in the house, including the kitchen. Here, interior designers from around the South share their predictions for what's trending in kitchen design for 2022 and beyond.

For any parent-to-be, picking a baby name really puts on the pressure. It's going to stick, whether you like it or not—and whether you select a classic family name or out-of-the-box moniker. We've put together a lengthy list of baby girl names that'll make it easy and enjoyable to find the perfect name. (Revolutionary, no?) We included some of the most popular girl names for 2021, as well as unique baby girl names that'll give your little chick something special right from the get-go. Pick something pretty like Delilah, which means "delicate woman," or go with something plucky like Zelda, which means "fighting in darkness." A name can certainly say a lot about someone, and every baby name means something different. Check out our list of 250 beautiful baby girl names, from A to Z, and you won't be left wanting inspiration for your future brood.
