    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.

Cadbury Easter Milk Chocolate Caramel Filled Egg

Bright, colorful baskets are a trademark of the Easter holiday. For teens who claim to have outgrown the egg hunt (is it truly possible to outgrow a good, old-fashioned Easter egg hunt?), the basket becomes the big prize of the day. Some fill their baskets with items to signify the start of spring, like flip flops or sunscreen, while some stick to a more traditional route (read: lots of candy); but one essential component of any Easter basket is the chocolate.

When the Easter bunny is putting together his beloved baskets, he only picks the highest-quality chocolate. I polled our Editors to see how they choose to fill their Easter baskets and, unsurprisingly, they had strong opinions. Some are ride-or-die Cadbury fans, while some prefer a Whoppers Robin Egg or a Reese's. No matter your preference—from dark to milk chocolate, with caramel, crème, or peanut butter fillings—these chocolate eggs will carry you (erm, I mean the Easter bunny) through many Easters to come. Hop to it!

Cadbury Easter Crème Egg

"My family is Jewish so we don't celebrate Easter or have Easter baskets. But my dad and I share a love for Cadbury creme eggs. When I was a kid, they were only in stores around Easter. Now you can get them year-round (which is dangerous) but my dad would always pick up a couple from the store on the way home from work and share with me. I always think of my dad when I cheat on the diet and indulge in one." – Rebecca Baer, News Editor
