    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.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake

We love old-school pies and storied cakes more than anyone, but no one can argue that one of the most classic desserts of all time is the humble chocolate chip cookie. A warm chocolate chip cookie and a cold glass of milk are as meant to be as peanut butter and jelly or spaghetti and meatballs. If you've been searching for the best chocolate chip cookie recipes out there, you've come to the right place. From our can't-be-beat, All-Time Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe to our new favorite Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Recipe, we've got plenty of chocolate chip cookie recipes to choose from. Creative spins like Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies, Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies, and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies will keep your taste buds on their toes. And if you're looking for something with presentation that wows, try our Deep-Dish Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie or our Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake. Bake a batch for yourself and bring one to the neighbors, these are the best chocolate chip cookie recipes your kitchen has ever seen.
