    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.

Beer-Braised Pot Roast

If you want to serve up a hearty Sunday supper, but don't want to spend all of your precious Sunday hours in the kitchen, your slow cooker is here to save the day. These easy slow-cooker recipes will allow you to gather around the dinner table with your family for a warm Sunday supper to start your week off on the right foot. With a little planning, all you'll have to do on Sunday is toss all the ingredients into your slow cooker and let it do the cooking while you enjoy the rest of your Sunday. You'll have a home cooked meal a few hours later without having to sacrifice any of your day in the kitchen. 

Even though these slow-cooker recipes are easy solutions, they definitely don't skimp on the flavor or nostalgia. Classics like meatloaf, pot roast, salisbury steak, and more can all be pulled together in your slow cooker. While the best part of Sunday suppers in getting to spend time with your family, the delicious recipes will be the icing on the cake to a great evening.
