    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.

If you think pies are just for fall and winter holidays, think again. From refreshing chilled pies, to easy no-bake pies, to pies that highlight the best fruits of summer, there are plenty of pies to make during the summer months. One thing we love about these pie recipes for summer is that they're easy to transport, so they're a great dessert choice to take along to a backyard cookout or potluck supper. They're also a great make-ahead option, so you can prepare them a day or two in advance of serving if needed.

If you're a fan of citrus, you have to try our Heavenly Key Lime Pie or our Atlantic Beach Pie, which is often referred to as the easiest pie ever. We've also got plenty of pie recipes that make the most of in-season peaches, like our Peach Divinity Icebox Pie and Peach Crumble Pie. And the list goes on and on. After reading through our collection of recipes, you'll be looking for a reason to pull out your pie plate to whip up one of our best summer pie recipes.
