    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.

These days it seems like bread baking has surpassed baseball to win the title of America's pastime. With Southerners spending more time at home amid the Coronavirus pandemic, curious home bakers have turned their kitchens into testing grounds for new recipes, using kneading as a much-needed stress reliever. But even with extended hours at home, the time-intensive process of baking homemade bread isn't something we're up for every week. 

Enter the bread maker. With the right machine, all you have to do to bake from-scratch bread is add the ingredients, select your settings, and hit start. The bread maker will do all the work for you. For even more flexibility, consider loaf capacity, extra baking features, and gluten-free settings while shopping for the right fit. 

Word is out on their simplicity. Retailers around the web have seen a spike in demand in recent weeks, and even some of Amazon's best sellers are no where to be found. Don't fret. We've rounded but the most popular bread machine models on Amazon that are still in stock. These appliances will have you slicing freshly baked bread sooner than you think.
