    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.

'Tis the season to stress out! Nine months of the year we try to stick to the healthy eating habits we promised ourselves on New Year's Eve but come the holiday season, we jump back on that merry-go-round. It begins with a few harmless handfuls of Halloween candy corn which leads to a plethora of pecan and pumpkin pies at Thanksgiving then ends with Christmas cookies and creamy hot chocolate while we watch Hallmark movies and decorate the tree. Speaking of the tree, it is the centerpiece of Christmas and the cause of numerous discussions each year—real or fake, 6 ft. or 8 ft., Blue Spruce or Fraser Fir, cut down or off the lot. We should remember the words of Larry Wilde when deciding on the tree, "Never worry about the size of your Christmas tree. In the eyes of children, they are all 30 feet tall." If we find ourselves mindlessly stuffing our mouths with snickerdoodles as we make lists and check them 2, 3, and 4 times, then no wonder "stressed" is "desserts" spelled backwards. Instead of all those cookies, use some comic relief to alleviate that stress. Carve time into your seasonal schedule to take the kids to a new release Christmas movie or invite your girlfriends over to watch Barbara Stanwyck in the 1945 classic, Christmas in Connecticut. If you can't bear to waste time, then make it a movie watching and wrapping party. Everyone brings their gifts that need wrapping and you provide the paper and ribbon. While laughing at the messes Barbara Stanwyck's character creates, you'll have spent a fun evening with your friends and crossed off one of your to-dos. A quick way to keep your spirits bright, print out these funny Christmas quotes and place them around the house to remind you to take time to laugh this holiday season.
