    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.

Greige Hair Is Trending—And You'll Actually Want to Try This Cool Neutral

If you're a lover of the recent cool-toned hair color movement— Mushroom brown, anyone?—then it's time to hop on the new multi-dimensional neutral known as greige. (Read: gray + beige = greige) And if greige isn't already your favorite neutral, it definitely should be. Beige and gray are those catch-all colors you can always rely on: Relaxing, uncomplicated, and universally flattering when it comes to most things, now including hair color. By combining the two shades, you create an ashy neutral that blends the best qualities of each, resulting in a striking, yet incredibly wearable shade. It works on cool and warm skin tones alike to create dynamic blends, whether you're into sandy beige with subtle touches of ash gray or ash gray with rich strokes of biscuit blonde. Layering hair shades ranging only from cool to neutral browns, blondes, and grays is the secret to getting the perfect tint. We've rounded up the most versatile greige hair color inspirations to show why this neutral needs to be your next pick.

Shadow roots let you embrace your dark base color, creating a low maintenance transition that won’t need constant touch-ups. Biscuit beige-gray balayage blends into the cool mocha roots for an ombré look.

This shade veers more into the mushroom brown territory, but tinges of dusty violet gray makes it a little less ash brown, a little more greige.

For ladies who don’t want to go all in with the silver and gray, this rich biscuit beige base gets brought to life with subtle strokes of silver and dusty gray, coating heavier on the ends. Bonus points for the trendy baby bangs!

This ash gray hue lets natural dusty violet notes come out, and the dusty greige finish keeps the overall color light and cool-toned. A straight blunt lob makes the hair color stand out even more.
