    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.

You've made sure the pumpkins are carved, the costumes are made, and the candy is stocked (well, who knows if that will actually last until October 31). Now all you need to make your Halloween spectacular are a few last-minute decorative touches. We searched and scoured the Internet for our favorite Halloween decor from some popular go-to online shopping sites. Just because you haven't been planning the party for weeks doesn't mean your home can't be as spooky as the rest. Prepare for the creepy-crawlies, haunted spirits, and trick-or-treaters to stop by your house. You don't want to disappoint when it comes to a good scare or something frightfully fun. From scary Halloween items to cute fall decorations that'll last all season, we love decorating for this fun and festive holiday. Order soon, and they'll arrive just in time for Halloween to make sure your home will be the best trick-or-treating stop on the block.
