    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.

Savvy Southern cooks are experts at creating dinners with what's in the pantry and freezer at the time, and one of the most convenient ingredients to have on hand is frozen potatoes. These frozen potato recipes will feed your family from breakfast to dinner. Potato casserole favorites like Au Gratin Potato Casserole and Hash Brown Casserole actually start with a bag of frozen potatoes. A breakfast casserole in the freezer is the simplest way to get the most important meal of the day on the table. Use your frozen potatoes to make our Tater Tot Breakfast Bake, Ham-and-Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole, or Red Pepper, Potato, and Ricotta Frittata. At dinnertime, the kids will eat up our Cowboy Casserole, Shepherd's Pie, Potato-Crusted Pizza, and Cheeseburger Casserole. Hearty, comforting, and filling, these frozen potato recipes couldn't be easier. When you're in a pinch and can't make it to the store, use up what you already have in your kitchen with these incredible frozen potato recipes.
