Actress Candace Cameron Bure’s 2023 resolutions center on two powerful words: confidence and joy. In an Instagram post, she articulated her commitment : “I’m embracing my word(s) for the year — confidence and joy. I will have confidence in the Lord (not just in myself) and joy through every trial, hardship, and circumstance because He has paved and lit my path.

Gwen Stefani: Digging into Gardening
Gwen Stefani’s 2023 resolution takes a literal and down-toearth approach. The renowned singer shared with E! News her commitment to educating herself more on gardening.
“I think my resolution’s gonna be to make sure that I educate myself more on gardening because that’s my new hobby with [husband] Blake [Shelton]. And we had a failed gardening year this year. I mean, we had a lot of things against us. There was a drought, so that happened. But we’re gonna get smarter, and we’re gonna have some success next year.” Despite facing challenges such as a drought, Gwen and her husband, Blake Shelton, are determined to make their gardening endeavours a success.
Olivia Culpo: Therapeutic Journaling
Model, influencer, and former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo recognizes the power of reflection in her 2018 resolution – to journal more. “Journaling is a great practice to make a habit,” she wrote. “Sometimes I write full entries about a learning lesson in my life or how I am feeling
towards a situation. Other times, I write down goals I am striving toward or a quote that stands out to me. Whatever it might be, I find journaling very therapeutic and plan to increase this in the new year.”
Jennie Garth: Continuing the Path of Self-Care
Jennie Garth’s 2017 resolution, shared with Us Weekly, revolves around the timeless theme of self-care. She explained that her resolution was to “just keep up all the work that I’ve been doing lately. I’ve recently delved into self-care, and I think that continuing on that self-care, selflove path is the way to go.” In a society that often glorifies hustle and productivity, Jennie’s resolution serves as a reminder that taking care of ourselves is not a fleeting trend but a perpetual journey. As we embark on a new year, Jennie’s words encourage us to prioritize self-care as an essential component of a fulfilling and balanced life.
So, as the clock strikes midnight, let us welcome the new year with resolutions that stand the test of time and guide us towards a more fulfilling and purposeful life.
