    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.

Starting your day with a good breakfast is important—but especially so when it comes to keeping your blood sugar levels in check. But diabetic diet recipes don't have to be boring. These recipes weren't developed with diabetic requirements or a dietician in mind, but they do feature a variety of options that can be customized to suit to make them even more diabetic friendly. From Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs so you're never caught without a little protein to pair with your other breakfast accompaniments, to an open-faced egg sandwich that will satisfy your savory breakfast cravings, this collection is a good place to start if you're looking for inspiration for easy diabetic recipes.

Recipe: Instant Pot Egg Bites

These protein-packed bites are perfect for customizing. Skip the pork bacon and swap in turkey bacon or lean chicken sausage that isn't short on flavor. We love the broccoli mix-in, but you can add whatever veggies you like.

Recipe: Open-Face Ham-and-Egg Sandwich

Swap the ciabatta or Italian bread for a whole-grain option. We love Dave's Killer Bread—a toasted slice of their thin-sliced whole grain bread will provide the perfect crunchy bed for this open-faced sandwich.

Recipe: Blueberry Overnight Oatmeal

Skip the maple syrup and honey—blueberries and cinnamon bring plenty of sweet flavor. We love the addition of toasted pecans and fiber-rich flax seeds.

Recipe: Potato-Bacon Hash

Once again, feel free to make this your own by swapping out the bacon for a leaner protein and using sweet potatoes instead of russets. Onion, bell pepper, garlic, spinach, and hot sauce, take the flavor profile to new heights, declaring this is one breakfast recipe that you'll be whipping up far beyond the a.m.
