    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.

Sure it's silly, but one of the few universal truths of humanity that binds us together is this: when your hair looks good, you feel good. Even if the day turns into a crap sandwich with a pickle on top, you can at the very least look in the mirror and say consolingly to yourself, "Well, at least my hair looked great."Conversely, if you've ever had a morning where no amount of blow-drying, styling, or witchcraft will keep your tresses from looking like a hot mess, you know it can really burn your biscuit. That's why we swear by these five products for not only producing results that both bounce and behave, but for their fuss-free, easy application that helps us get out the door. We have more important things to do than section our hair into hot rollers after all.

Briogeo Scalp Revival Micro-Exfoliating Shampoo

Buy It: $42; dermstore.com

Does your hair have about as much life and vivaciousness as a college student in an 8 a.m. economics lecture? Chances are it might just be smothered in build up that your usual shampoo can’t remove, especially if you’ve been known to hit the dry shampoo often. This shampoo, which is more like a scrub for your hair, will instantly lift your strands out of dullness and into the proverbial light. Since you only need to use it once a week, one tub goes a long ways, but L’Oreal also offers a drug store dupe for under $10.

Pro tip: If you have fine or long hair that needs the volume turned up, it’s definitely worth investing in Christophe Robin’s new volumizing paste.

Shu Uemera Essence Absolue Nourishing Protective Oil

Buy It: $69; birchbox.com

If your locks have a Golden Corral-sized buffet of issues from frizziness and roughness to split ends and static, a hair oil can mitigate them all in one or two pumps. While this tried-and-true one is derived from camellias, which Southerners will appreciate, we also like Garnier’s Whole Blends Moroccan Argan & Camellia Illuminating Oil.

Invisibobble Traceless Hair Ring

Buy It: $8; sephora.com

Do you go to the gym on your lunch break? Do you compulsively twist your hair into random buns throughout the day? Do you find that your hair has lost all its oomph by happy hour? This less than $10 pack of what looks like old-fashioned telephone cords are for you. Since they don’t leave any dents and can hold hair in place without the constriction of a typical hair tie, you can easily put your hair up and let it back down in better condition than you found it. We swear by spritzing some volumizing mist over a bun and letting it dry before undoing for a five-minute fix.

L’Oreal Total Repair 5 Damage-Erasing Balm

Buy It: $5.99; target.com

Another Southern truth: don’t underestimate the power of a mama possum or a hair mask. In fact, if there’s one beauty practice we stay diligent about, it’s masking because hydrated hair is happy hair. This $7 one makes for an affordable venture, but if you want to up your game, the Kerastase Resistance Therapiste Masque gives you the psychological equivalent of a professional blow-out for a fraction of the price and time.

Evo Spike Radial Brush

Buy It: $54; evohair.com

Like high-quality undergarments or Oprah’s Instagram account, a good hair brush can change your life. While some boar bristle brushes can command high pricetags, this solid-wood version is not only affordable considering its lifespan, it also comes with nylon pins in between the bristles to help brush and lift every strand. It also comes it different sizes for different lengths of hair.
