    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.

Sure, April isn't all about Easter—but the dessert menu can be. We're celebrating all month long with sweet treats specially designed to help you have a happy little Easter, starting with six single-serve recipes that will upstage any candy in your baskets. Start with birds' nest-topped coconut cupcakes and end with addicting chocolate-peanut butter eggs. 

Since there needs to be a tasty spread that precedes the sweets, we've come up with a menu that makes Easter entertaining easy. Pick from two impressive main dishes and pair with a selection of our four go-with-anything spring side dishes. (Hot tip: Make sure to include the Dijon-infused potato salad, no matter what.) From there, we included Passover recipes that make for an elegant Seder meal and classic Masters-inspired party snacks by Test Kitchen Professional and Hey Y'all host, Ivy Odom—the pimiento cheese-topped fried chicken sliders are an undeniable hole-in-one. 

It's time to celebrate spring the only way we know how: with 35 fresh springtime recipes the whole family will love.
