    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.

11 Crazy Delicious Pumpkin Roll Recipes

Traditional Pumpkin Roll

Time and again, pumpkin—the most trendy of fall flavors—continues to surprise and delight with the endless amount of tasty treats derived from it. From breads to pies to cheesecakes, there is seriously no limit on the delicious creations fostered by this glorious gourd (we've come a far way from merely relying on pumpkins for decor and carving). But one dessert in particular seems to take the festive flavor to the next level, while simultaneously frightening potential patrons away with just its look: the pumpkin roll. The delicately rolled dish can be intimidating to those afraid of making a mistake and ending up with a heap of cake crumbles. But, from those brave enough to have mastered the technique, we have been reassured that it's not nearly as daunting as it seems.Simple tips like 1) always using parchment paper, 2) rolling the cake while still warm and 3) chilling the roll before cutting into it for guests help first-time pumpkin roll bakers avoid common mistakes. The pumpkin roll is great for holiday parties and family gatherings, and you can customize it with a variety of other flavors and ingredients such as cinnamon, chocolate and caramel. Here are some amazingly tasty pumpkin roll recipes to wow your friends and family with this year.
