    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.

Without a doubt, lamb always feels fit for a holiday feast, whether it be Easter, Passover, or Christmas. That's when we break out our rack of lamb, leg of lamb, and lamb shanks recipes. But, in our opinion, lamb doesn't necessarily need to be limited to being a holiday centerpiece. It'll work just as easily into your weeknight routine. Think dishes like braised lamb chops, pasta carbonara, or lamb burgers. There's nothing to lose—and so much to gain—when cooking lamb. Plus, there's so many different ways you can prepare lamb including roasting, grilling, broiling, braising, and even slow cooking. (And it's so much easier than you think!) Whether you're in the mood for quick lamb chop recipes or elegant leg of lamb recipes, these delicious options are sure to make every dinner feel special, no matter the occasion.

Recipe: Shepherd's Pie

This comfort food classic gets major flavor from slow-cooked braised lamb shanks. (As if the heavenly veggie-packed casserole topped with mashed potatoes needed any help in the flavor department.)
