    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.

The holidays just aren't the same without a delicious sweet potato casserole shared among family. Serve any of our best sweet potato casserole recipes at your next holiday potluck or family gathering, and you're sure to bring home an empty casserole dish.

From the traditional sweet potato casserole topped with marshmallows to recipes with a sweeter or healthier spin, Southerners expect and are excited to see this signature dish, in some form, on the table. For a new twist on a classic dish, top with cornflakes. Or, add pure maple syrup for a natural sweetness or toasted pecans for crunch.

When it's time to serve, spoon your sweet potato casserole into individual cups so guests have their own portion or set our the casserole dish with a large serving spoon so guests can pile on as much as they want on their plates. No matter how you serve one of our best sweet potato casserole recipes, just be sure not to leave this holiday dinner staple off the menu.
