    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.

As far as fall hair goes, we want something fresh, new, and a little bit toasty to fit the season. That's why we aren't calling our colorist for platinum blonde, but honey gold instead. Caramel brown hair is the one color on-trend for fall that'll make you look wonderfully warmed-up and bright, no matter how you do it.Somewhere between brunette and blonde, this shade instantly puts the pep back in your step, the oomph back in your hoof. Pick something zingy like golden caramel or rich like caramelly cinnamon—just don't miss out on fall's most popular color. Here are 15 gorgeous examples of caramel hair color to show your colorist ASAP.

Can’t decide between going light or dark? Bronde is the ultimate compromise. In this bright inspiration, caramel is the darkest hue coating the roots, while a honey blonde covers the ends.
