    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.

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask
Credit: Sephora

One of the worst beauty qualms we have for winter is how it seems to suck away any and all moisture from our bodies, from our toes all the way up to our once-pouty lips. There's a reason they call it bulking season, and that's not just about snacking. We're smearing on enough skin salve to grease all of our grandmother's cake pans and then some. For those prone to dry, chapped, or cracked winter lips—with a gratuitous cold sore or wind blister thrown in—hope is not lost. There are plenty of lip care products and treatments to solve even the most dire of lip situations, so you can feel good about putting down the lipstick. From longtime dependables you'll likely recognize (looking at you, Vanicream) to trendy new buys like a luxurious lip sleeping mask or fig-scented lip salve, these are 12 of the best lip care products on the market for soothing and healing dry lips.

For starters, these lip gels make any night at home feel way more fun. Place the lip mask on your pout for five minutes and let the serum (which is packed with collagen-boosting peptides and hydrating niacinamide) work some magic. Afterwards, discard the biodegradable lip gel and allow any excess serum to soak into your lips.
