    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.

As temperatures drop and fall turns into winter, keep your family warm with these beef stew recipes. Soups and stews are so satisfying on a cold night, and these easy beef stew recipes will go perfectly with a lit fireplace and a Christmas movie. Beef stew is the comfort dish your fall and winter nights need. If you've never made beef stew before, no worries. This list includes slow-cooker beef stew recipes that are as simple as putting ingredients in the slow cooker and pressing "on". Slow-cooker recipes like these are ideal to make ahead for busy weeknights, and these beef stew recipes are hearty and filling dinners. If you don't have a slow cooker, many of these recipes cook in one pot on the stove. One of the most convenient things about soups and stews is that they freeze well, so you can make these recipes, freeze the leftovers, and enjoy them again. These beef stew recipes are filled with vegetables, spices, and other ingredients with tons of flavor to ensure you and your crowd won't be hungry after dinnertime. So snuggle up—beef stew is for dinner.
