    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.

If you're not already paying just as close attention to your neck as you do your face during your skin-care routine, it might be time to re-evaluate some things in your life. In reality, we should all think about bringing our favorite skin-care ingredients like retinol and SPF all the way down to our décolleté. Your neck and the surrounding area are some of the first places to show signs of aging, due to being exposed to sun and other stressors almost as much as your rosy cheeks. And since the skin on your neck is generally thinner than your face, any loss of collagen can be extra apparent.

The fix? Start with a firming neck cream that will whip your routine into shape. When applied daily, these heavy-duty versions of your antiaging face cream can work wonders to tighten, hydrate, lift, smooth, and improve elasticity on this delicate area that's prone to appearing saggy and crepey as time marches on.

These are the best neck creams on the market for every budget and concern.
