    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.

As the summer winds down, it's time to think ahead and prepare for the fall harvest. This is the ideal time to plant vegetables that will hit their peak in the fall and winter months. Not only will these fall vegetables taste great in your seasonal dishes, but their warm colors and big, leafy structures will spruce up your home garden. Plant these veggies alongside your festive fall flowers for a colorful, balanced gardenscape.In the fall, we're all about big-batch vegetable roasts that make the most of the harvest. The key to good cooking is using fresh ingredients, and there's no better way to increase the quality of your food than to grow it yourself. You can use your homegrown vegetables to elevate some of our favorite recipes for a real farm-to-table experience in your own home. Make use of your homegrown carrots in a beautiful side dish, like Roasted Carrots with Pecans and Sorghum. That fresh spinach will be the star of your Thanksgiving table in an extra-silky Creamed Spinach. The possibilities are endless with these autumnal veggies. So put your gardening gloves on, and get planting!
