    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.

Blunt Collarbone Cut

When you're sitting in the salon chair, it's easy to chicken out and ask for "the usual." Wash, trim, and you're on your merry way. But just for a second, in that swiveling salon chair, you might think, 'if only I could finally just speak up and say that I want a bob, or a lob, or even a pixie cut.' That's why we rounded up these super flattering short haircuts: to inspire you to speak up and get that bob, sis. 

All blondes can bear to have a little more fun, and you'll find mounds of it in all of these short blonde hairstyles. From fringed bobs to blunt lobs to textured crops, these short haircuts for blondes are the only inspiration you need to finally make that chop. Pin one of these flattering cuts for later, show them to your stylist, and live your best short-cut blonde life ever.

Ask for a blunt bob cut with subtle graduation (which means it falls slightly shorter in the back!) to add easy volume and lift. You can easily part your hair on the side or try a cute middle part with this cut, depending on your preference.

You don't need to have natural curls or heat-styled waves to rock a textured bob. Add some styling moose and a few beachy waves, and voila! You've got yourself a cute 'do.
