    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.

When you are young, you take for granted how you can swipe on any lipstick without worrying about the color seeping into your fine lines or bleeding out from the corners of your mouth. Another thing you don't worry about? Your pout's plumpness slowly deflating, leaving you with thin, pancake-like lips. Sadly, your mouth ages just like the rest of your body, so it's important to begin taking preventative care as earlier as possible. While plain old lip balm is better than nothing, certain products, like the below dermatologist recommendations, are specifically designed to rejuvenate and repair. Try incorporating one of these lip savers into your daily routine to make your kisses even sweeter:

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream

Elizabeth Arden’s Eight Hour Cream is a Southern staple for a reason. This tube can be used for just about anything — even chapped lips — which is why it’s one of dermatologist Dendy Engelman M.D.’s top anti-agers. “I actually grew up three doors away from the Elizabeth Arden House in South Carolina, so it is not a surprise that it’s of my favorite lip products. I’ve been using it since I was a child,” Dr. Engelman explains.  “Elizabeth Arden’s Eight Hour Cream was created in 1930 by the legend herself. It is a wonderful multi-purpose product that I bring with me everywhere and keep on my nightstand. It hydrates and locks in moisture, as well as repairs chapped lips, making lips appear more youthful.”

Vanicream Lip Protectant SPF 30

Your pout is one of the most susceptible for sun damage and become more and more fragile as you age. “They have very little melanin and contain no oil glands,” explains dermatologist Sonia Batra, M.D. and co-host of The Doctors TV show of why this is the case. “My favorite anti-aging lip product is a lip balm that is hydrating and contains a mineral sunscreen with SPF 30, like Vanicream Lip Protectant SPF 30. This can be used as a base for lip color. In general, I recommend avoiding glossy finishes as they decrease the scatter of light and facilitate UV damage; a matte finish is better.”

DIY your way to younger lips! “On top of a morning moisturizer, try applying Physicians Formula The Healthy Lip Velvet Liquid Lipstick blended with a dab of sunscreen to create a shimmering and beautiful lip,” suggests Physicians Formula dermatologist Rachael Cayce, M.D.. “It contains anti-oxidants and pigment which protects lips from fluorescent light and sunlight. Plus, its longevity helps maintain protection throughout the day.” Cayce also recommends to steer clear of sipping anything through a straw (since it can create fine lines) and not smoking to keep your lips looking their best.

Yes, this pantry staple can be used for more than just baking. “A gentle sugar scrub liberates dead skin cells and plumps up the lips,” says dermatologist Mona Gohara, M.D. “It tastes good too!” Just apply the granules to your lips, massaging in a circular motion and then rinse.
