    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.

Fall is in full swing, and we're packing in as much autumnal flavor as our farmers' markets and pumpkin patches can give. We're thinking beyond the predictable pie and exploring the savory side of pumpkin. Celebrate the seasonal star with seven delicious fall dishes inspired by the colorful gourd, from cheesy soup to chicken stew. Since October is made for comfort food cooking, we're saying "More cheese, please!" The whole family will melt over our five simple and delicious (and cheesy) meals, including gooey gnocchi gratin and fontina-stuffed pork chops.Doing a little last-minute hosting? We threw in adorably sized, incredibly savory miniature muffin pan pot pies packed with mushroom and goat cheese that will rise to the occasion. Bring in a main course of our low-and-slow cooked pork braised in a cider-infused gravy, and you'll be wheeling your guests out in a blissful wheelbarrow. We're getting a little nostalgic, too. Round out the month with our take on fall layers. Cake layers, that is. As with most great Southern recipes, these three cakes come with memorable stories and sweet reminders of home. Which will you try first, the Blackberry Jam Cake or Apple Stack Cake? Or maybe the lemony, chocolately Doberge Cake? One thing's for sure: You can't go wrong. Enjoy these 17 recipes that make enjoying October an easy feat.
