    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.

Once filled with legend and lore, the Christmas stocking is now a beloved holiday tradition. We may no longer wear them nor leave them to dry by the fire, but we sure do love to fill them with gifts. After all, who doesn't relish opening a pile of trinkets before tackling the big presents under the tree on Christmas morning? We have to admit, half the fun also comes in stuffing stockings for friends and family. If someone you know has yet to own a Christmas stocking (gasp!) or is in dire need to replace the one they've been using since fifth grade, we recommend that one of these super-cozy knit stockings be the first present you offer up this season. Pretty and practical, they're sure to elicit squeals of delight as your loved ones run to hang up their newly acquired Christmas accessory on the mantle. Now, all that's left is the stocking stuffers—and that's the easy part.
