    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.

When the holiday season is in full swing, do you find that your Christmas gift list just keeps growing? Us too. That's why we made this list of Christmas gifts under $10. Stock up on these inexpensive Christmas gifts now and when December rolls around, you'll be glad you did. The best part about these cheap Christmas gifts is that no one will be the wiser. When you're invited to a neighbor's Christmas party and want to bring a little token of thanks, reach into your closet and grab one of these gifts on your way out the door. When your friends who promised they wouldn't do Christmas presents this year show up at your door with Christmas gifts (believe us, they will), you'll be prepared with a little something to give them in return. These gifts are stocking-stuffer and secret Santa ready, and you'll be amazed that each one is less than $10.

Our picks for the best inexpensive Christmas presents can be given as presents to friends, neighbors, co-workers, kids' teachers—anyone. With these Christmas gifts under $10, you won't be the friend who forgot a gift, and you won't be the friend who spent too much money either.
