    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.

For home cooks, there's no avoiding the cooking tool craze that is the Instant Pot. If you haven't bought one for yourself, it's about time you did. But if you have discovered the world of endless Instant Pot recipes, you know that it's just as good for whipping up a batch of classic chicken and dumplings as it is company-worthy pork tenderloin. It can even make dessert a breeze. One of the easiest, quickest, and most budget-friendly ways to put your new favorite kitchen tool to good use is with one of our Instant Pot soup recipes. Whether you have a hankering for creamy potato soup, or you need the comfort that only a warm bowl of chicken noodle soup can provide, pull out your Instant Pot. These Instant Pot soup recipes are fast enough for your busiest weeknights and include ingredients you probably have on hand already. When the temperature drops, there's nothing better to soothe a chilly family than a cozy (Instant) Pot of soup.
