    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.

Summer has a way of making fresh berries seem so much more appealing for sweet and savory dishes alike. We indulge in the ripe, juicy berries of the season by baking them into decadent desserts, tossing them into drinks, and popping them right into our mouths. If you're like us and can't get enough of fresh blackberries during the summertime, look no further.

Find inspiration with these delicious recipes bursting with plump fresh blackberries. They're perfect for summer get-togethers or porch parties and are sure to leave your friends and family full and happy. We've also included recipes that make the most of frozen blackberries so you can enjoy the flavorful berries any time of the year. Plus, if you've got a bounty of fresh blackberries, you can make jelly to be enjoyed later as well. So, whether you have fresh or frozen berries on hand, make the most of them with our best blackberry recipes.
