    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.

Hairsprays for Fine Hair
Credit: Tara Moore/Getty Images
We all have our hair woes: frizz, split ends, dullness, product build-up, and other ickies.  But some things are harder to fight, like our hair type. When you're blessed with fine hair—meaning your strands are very small in diameter—you deal with your own set of issues. So instead of dryness, you're more prone to getting oily faster than your coarser counterparts. (You have many, many small strands that each have their own follicle to produce oil. Lovely, right?) Instead of height-defying frizz, you might find that your hair lacks something in the volume department, but that's one icky we can definitely work with.  We've rounded up the best hair sprays to get those strands heading in the right direction, which for fine hair means up! Some are spritzed before a blow-dry, some take care of second-day hair, and some will hold those small strands in place all day long. Short or long, thick or thin, a Southern girl's hair can always benefit from a pick-me-up product, and these 13 hair sprays for fine hair are the best tricks to have under your sleeve.
