    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.

Non-alcoholic, Festive Drinks for a Baby Shower

Cran-Raspberry-Vanilla Punch

Baby showers are a fun, feminine celebration that warrants an equally festive baby shower punch or drink. We love these non-alcoholic drink recipes and are sure you and your guest of honor will too. Ginger-Orange Mocktails are ideal for a midmorning shower and might just be our easiest shower punch recipe. No one will be missing the mimosas when this fresh sipper is served. Try Blackberry-Lime Agua Fresca if you're looking for a hit of flavor berry flavor. We absolutely love the color of Iced Hibiscus Sweet Tea and the fizz from ginger ale makes it even more refreshing. Punch recipes like Lemon-Lime-Rosemary Punch and Cran-Raspberry-Vanilla Punch are Southern shower classics—you'll recognize them once you see the mounds of floating sorbet or sherbet on top. Our Sparkling Cherry Limeade is just the fix the mama-to-be needs if she's missing her favorite margarita on the rocks. Choose any of these recipes as a signature drink, but also have a batch of our Cucumber-Mint Water to offer guests as well.

    Save time on the day of the shower by making the syrup a week ahead and storing in your refrigerator. Chill the club soda so it doesn’t melt the ice cubes too quickly when added. Mix the ingredients together just before serving to ensure this refreshing sipper keeps its fizz.
