    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.

Fall Lip Colors
Credit: ttatty/Getty Images

Fall is an easy season to love, from the pumpkin desserts to the football games. At last the weather starts to cool down and we can finally pull out our favorite cozy sweaters and cute booties. What's next? A beauty routine to suit the season. Hydrating gels give way to thick creams, and our lips go from corals and baby pinks to rich reds and moody mauves. From deep burgundy wines to dreamy nudes, fall lip colors make autumn feel so much more exciting—and these are the best of the best. From budget-friendly buys (hello, drugstore deals) to major regret-not splurges, you can rock the best fall lip at any price. It's time to try a fabulous new color (or two, or three?).These are the best fall lipstick colors to fill your makeup bag this season and beyond.
