Setting personal goals and planning for the future need not be limited to one month of the year. Still, there’s no avoiding the inherent desire for reflection and growth that comes each December. As the year comes to a close, you may feel inspired to reflect on the past 12 months. To welcome positive change for 2023, we checked in with five women from our inspiring community for the New Year’s resolutions and mantras on their minds designed to spark change in both their personal lives and how they approach self-care and beauty. Their thought starters, ahead.
2022 was a big year for Marjon. “I finished my book proposal, learned to advocate for myself, interviewed icons and became a dog mom,” says the journalist. So, what’s her resolution for 2023? “Well, technically, I’ve already started my 2023 resolution: For the past month, I’ve been pushing myself to do everything I never want to do. Yes, they may be inconvenient or uncomfortable, but they’re necessary — everything from waking up early to being more honest in my writing, showing up for my Pilates class and sending a scary text. I recognize that my fears and insecurities can get in the way of my growth and follow-through, and I refuse to stand in my way any longer.” And if you need a little advice for your own resolutions, Marjon offers this inspiring beauty mantra: "Be extra... I’ve played it small in the past for a myriad of reasons and I’m over not fully showing up as myself.”

“2023 is going to be really important for my mental health,” says beauty exec Savina. “I'm making it a routine to stop working at 8 p.m. sharp, as I have been struggling with really bad burnout these last two years.” Her beauty mantra for the new year is all about nurturing without overdoing it. “As I grow older, I'm using fewer skincare products in my routine and, instead, using what works best for my skin type and investing in good quality products that work. I'm also paying more attention to my hair and neck by incorporating hair serums and neck massages.”

“This year I want to be better at listening to my body and taking care of myself. It’s so important to put your health and wellness first,” stylist and creative consultant Emili tells us. To accomplish this, she’ll use some of the tools she picked up on a recent trip to cutting-edge medical and natural healing resort Lanserhof Sylt, located on one of the German Frisian Islands in the North Sea. “I’ve had issues with bloating and fighting stress, and bad sleep is a daily challenge for me,” she explains. “But the treatments and advice I received at Lanserhof made a big difference. You really learn to take care of yourself.”

When it comes to 2023 beauty routines, model and life coach Nazanin will be taking a less-is-more approach. “I absolutely love glam moments and those are truly apart of who I am, but showcasing more of my natural side is the direction I’m going in,” she says. Beauty aside, she’s also got some big personal and professional aspirations for the year ahead. “My resolution is to just maintain the same focus, energy, drive and self-belief that I currently have. I plan on expanding [my life-coaching platform] You Bloome, booking some amazing acting roles, releasing my first book and walking in my truth eternally.”

After a busy year Monikh describes as “a very special, memorable and humbling year,” her 2023 resolution is all about continued growth for the stylist and fashion blogger. “2023 for me is about taking the juggle to the next step. I love my work and I feel so lucky to be doing something that I love, so I want to expand on it and see what I can really do,” she says. Her beauty mantra for the year centers around self-love — an example she’s keen on setting for her toddler. “I’m embracing that natural look with minimal products that highlight my features, not conceal them. This is a journey I started during lockdown; one I find even more important now that baby girl is watching.”
