    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.

Silver Plate Serving Tray With Handles
Credit: Etsy/5gardenias
There are a few dishes every Southern hostess should have in her cabinet, and one of those is a sturdy (and pretty) serving tray. If you're lucky, you already have vintage serving trays handed down from Mama's mama (and her mama), but if you weren't blessed with beautiful passed-down-pieces, there's no reason to worry. You can find gorgeous vintage serving trays right on Etsy, and you won't believe the incredible prices. Whether you need a vintage serving tray for party appetizers, holiday main dishes, or desserts, these are the best vintage finds right now. As your guests pick up homemade treats off your newly polished vintage serving tray, you can smile knowing you didn't spend a fortune (and you're not scratching Mama's silver either). Easter is fast approaching, and these stunning vintage serving trays couldn't be a better fit for the occasion.
