    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.

Just when we thought that mushroom brown hair—you know, that earthy color we saw take over salons this year with an ashy, cool-toned vengeance—couldn't get any better, it's blonde best friend came into town. Imagine the same multi-dimensional color, richly blended with only cool-to-neutral brown and blonde shades, but brightened up in a way that's oh-so flattering. This winter, mushroom blonde hair will refresh those strands without looking like you're trying too hard. Whether you want to keep your dark roots or go fully blonde, ask your stylist to stick with neutral and cool tones in order to stay true to the shade. From there, possibilities are endless. It's all about hitting the right spot on the ashy spectrum for you. We pulled together 15 incredibly gorgeous, totally different mushroom blonde looks to bring to your stylist this season.

Go blonde without being too obvious. If your skin tone is cool-toned or fair, a neutral-to-ashy blonde will look more natural than bright yellowish platinum or honey blondes.
