    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.

Strawberries are spring's favorite fruit, so we try to use them as often as possible while they're fresh. Though there's nothing sweeter to end a meal with than a big slice of strawberry cake, we're fans of starting one with a strawberry salad, too. If you're on the hunt for a classic Strawberry-Spinach Salad, look no further. Ours is topped with a simple homemade dressing, blue cheese crumbles, and candied pecans so that every bite is sweet, savory, and delicious. Southern cooks will remember our vintage Strawberry-Pretzel Salad Recipe from Grandma's table, and yes, it tastes just as good as you remember. Our Spring Salad with Berries and Bacon has strawberries tossed in the salad and in the homemade dressing drizzled on top. And our Strawberry Caprese is a springy swap for your go-to appetizer. With this roundup of strawberry salads, your appetizer (and dessert!) plate will never be empty this season. Which will you try first?
