    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 it comes to hosting Easter lunch, every detail matters. From the pastel-tinted table settings to the classic Easter ham, Southerners stick with tradition. But there's always room for a festive finishing touch that will spice up the family gathering, which is where a big-batch Easter punch comes in. It's easy to prepare, withstands the afternoon, keeps the crowd happy, and makes a pretty display in a punch bowl. Whether you're in the mood for a refreshing Lemon Mint Sparkler or a pretty Berry Splash, these Easter drink recipes will make a welcome addition to your holiday lineup and don't call for a single drop of alcohol. (Easter takes place on the Lord's Day, after all.) Keep these delicious punches ice-cold with a decorative ice ring to make sure your crowd will never find themselves feeling parched. We don't even think you should put all your eggs in one basket—make two or three different recipes and set up a festive punch bar for your guests! No matter your choice, one of these non-alcoholic Easter punch recipes deserves to make an appearance at your Easter celebration this year.

    You’d never believe this bright blue refreshment only takes three ingredients. Blue Hawaiian punch, frozen lemonade, and lemon-lime soda make up this sipper that puts a smile on any child's face. While we love the Swedish fish gummy garnish for summer, we challenge you to find Easter gummies (or perhaps even miniature Peeps) to garnish with this year.
