We've reached the end of another long week. But before we clock out for the weekend, we're giving props where they're due. Here's to our winners of the week.

It's worth repeating all year but especially during the holidays, when there's so much "indulgence vs. resolutions" chatter: your body is worthy. Don't take my word for it -- ask Valerie Bertinelli. The winner of two Golden Globes and two Daytime Emmys took to Instagram to show off not her body but her confidence, and it marks a beautiful evolution.

Bertinelli, like so many of us, grew up at war with her size. She was fat-shamed by a fifth grade teacher. She was mocked by an ex for her weight. And I knew her not from her sitcom roles but for starring in commercials for Jenny Craig, then showing off how many pounds she'd lost using the system, and writing a book about it. It was far from the most harmful messaging I saw in the 2000s, but it created the association in my mind: Valerie Bertinelli = wants to lose weight.

Then, on December 2, she uploaded a simple bathroom mirror selfie in her underwear and wrote, "every lump bump wrinkle and saggy part of me just feels acceptance and simple appreciation." May we all find such peace in 2025!
