    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.

Let the slow, simmering days of late summer keep on ticking. We're stocked up with plenty of reasons to savor the flavors of the season. First, journey into Louisiana's Cajun country where you'll find a secluded bed-and-breakfast that hosts some of the most spirited celebrations of the region's culture that we've tasted. The menu balances the traditional and unexpected with quirky takes like Kettle Chip-Crusted Fried Green Tomatoes and Braised Greens and Grapes. We're feeling the heat this season and responding with no-cook summer suppers. Step away from the stove using these five fresh and fabulous recipes that'll get dinner on the table without breaking a sweat. The Crunchy Chicken-Peanut Chopped Salad will save you again and again, we promise. We're giving you a reason to fire up the grill, too. Try our sizzling skillet steak recipe with blistered vegetables that can be made entirely in your cast-iron skillet. It's low on cleanup, high on flavor. Is any late-summer night complete without a classic dish with a brand-new twist? Our Best-Ever Succotash features standout ingredients like okra and basil, making it a hit at every gathering. Save any weeknight with a grilled pizza packed full with fresh summer vegetables and savory smoked chicken, while our Mini Tomato Sandwiches with Bacon Mayonnaise turns a classic dish into a tasty appetizer. We couldn't round up the season without a perfectly chilled dessert. Serve up slices of our No-Bake Peanut Butter-Fudge Ice-Cream Pie, and you'll be raking in the compliments. Whatever you whip up this August, make it a breeze with these easy recipes.
