    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.

Breakfast Enchiladas
Credit: Hector Manuel Sanchez

If we had to designate a breakfast hierarchy, eggs would sit decidedly at the top of the food chain, along with thick-cut bacon. (Because, obviously.) As long as there's a carton of eggs in your fridge, any big breakfast dilemma can be solved. House guests? Check. Holiday weekend? Check. Morning tailgate? Check. Baby shower? Check. We could go on and on. The ultimate egg recipe for a crowd: the breakfast egg casserole.To put it simply, start with eggs. Add bacon, sausage, grits, vegetables, and plenty of cheese. Throw it all in your trusty 13x9. Pop it in the oven. (Or better yet, freeze it for later to eliminate prep time.) And…done! Presto. As much as we love buttermilk pancakes and homemade biscuits, they've got nothing on the ease of a thrown-together egg casserole. Trust us: These 23 egg casserole recipes are about to make your life a whole lot better. Get to whisking!
