    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.

The best thing about a chicken casserole—other than its gloriously creamy and cheesy components—is the easy versatility and universal appeal that allows it to seamlessly blend into any family supper or neighborhood potluck. When it comes to your heavy-hitter chicken recipes, a skillet or small baking pan just doesn't cover it. That's when you know it's a job for the 9x13 casserole dish. From the ever-comforting chicken pot pie to the crowd-pleasing chicken spaghetti, these 9x13 chicken recipes deserve to be in the spotlight, if only because we know you'll be able to depend on them time after time. It's hard to find recipes that are this quick to prepare, incredibly portable, make-ahead friendly, and satisfying for any occasion. So don't look any further for easy chicken casserole recipes to make as soon as you can pull out your 9x13.
