    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.

Current hair trends are leaning in a laidback direction, and we couldn't be more excited about it. Instead of complicated cuts that require time and money spent on styling, this year's hairstyles are all about natural ease. With fringy long bangs that don't require work and natural textures in the forefront, shaggy cuts are having a moment. These styles are tousled to perfection. With low-maintenance bangs and short layers, these ideas are as no-fuss as it gets. Whether you're going for a long or short curly pixie, the look can work with any hair texture. And with little to no styling required, you won't waste a second of summer fussing over hot tools.

A colorful scarf is such a fun way to style a pixie, especially with long layers that can be pulled back. Leave longer strands down to caress the cheekbones and neck.
