    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.

Get to know the most cheerful roses in the garden. Yellow roses get quite a lot of air time in movies and songs; there are countless references to the blooms in popular culture—"The Yellow Rose of Texas," anyone?—and they are a jaunty flower to grow and to give. Their popularity can be traced in part to their symbolism. Yellow roses are said to represent friendship and warm feelings, which make them appropriate for gifting on many occasions. Get to know the different species, cultivars, and varieties that produce yellow blooms: From yellow climbing roses and knock out roses to miniature ones and deeply perfumed ones, there's an abundance of butter-hued blooms available to grow, and the cheery yellow flowers are sure to bring joy wherever they're planted. Are you planning on giving any to friends or growing any in your garden this year?
