    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.

Summertime calls for cool, creamy desserts that don't require a lot of fuss. That's why we love crumb crust pies. There's no pie dough to roll out, they can be made in almost any flavor you choose, and only require minutes in the oven—if at all! Some of these crumb crust pie recipes are completely no-bake. That way, you can whip up a crowd-pleasing summery dessert without even breaking a sweat. Although these pies are a breeze to assemble, several of the recipes require time in the refrigerator or freezer to chill and set completely—perfect if you're looking for a make-ahead dessert, but not ideal if you're in a hurry and looking for something that can be put together at the last minute. And if you think all crumb crust pies are made with plain old graham crackers, think again. These crusts are made with a variety of ingredients, including pretzels, gingersnaps, honey-roasted peanuts, and more.

Make this pie when summer fruit is at its peak. You can use any combination of stone fruit you like—peaches, plums, nectarines, cherries, and pluots are all amazing in the syrupy topping.
