    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.

Slow-Cooker Sandwich Recipes That Are Too Good to Put Down

Slow-Cooker French Dip Sandwiches
Credit: Annabelle Breakey; Styling: Emma Star Jensen
We know our slow cookers are capable of making incredible soups, stews, and sauces, but there's so much more your slow cooker can do. From breakfast recipes to delicious desserts, these little machines can do it all, which brings us to this amazing collection of crock-pot sandwiches. Sandwiches are great for lunch or dinner, and they're so easy when you're in a rush. These crock-pot sandwiches take even less hands-on time to make than most, and they're so much tastier than a few cold cuts tossed on some white bread. With our beef sandwiches (some favorites inlclude our barbecue beef sandwiches and beef meatball hoagies), you can fill your family up. You can make classic sandwiches, like a slow-cooker French dip or a slow-cooker Italian beef sandwich, or you can mix it up with a crock-pot shredded chicken sandwich like our habanero-apricot chicken sandwiches. When it comes to crock-pot options, there are plenty to satisfy every family member. Easy, comforting, and totally hands-off.
