    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.

Easy Turkey Recipes: Layered Cornbread-and-Turkey Salad
When you're planning the perfect make-and-take dish for your next potluck, look no further than these seven layer salad recipes. We included traditional seven layer salad recipes for those who are a fan of the classic, but also mixed it up with layered salad recipes that have a few extra ingredients that still add up to layered salad perfection. We're not sure where the original seven layer salad came from, but we do know our riff takes it to a whole new level with the addition of smoked turkey and cornbread. Don't be surprised if your friends and family ask you to share the recipe once you put these tasty one-dish recipes on the table.

Okay, so there are more than 7 layers in this recipe, but it’s too good not to include in this roundup. We love the addition of Avocado Lime Ranch and, of course, everything’s better with bacon.

This is a different take on a layered salad. Instead layering ingredients one on top of the other, they’re placed side by side to create a rainbow effect. Be sure to chop everything in relatively uniform size to get the look .
