The big difference noted between the two lifestyle gurus is that Garten seems to take a simpler, straight forward approach, while Stewart is all about attention to detail and near-perfect results. Well, it looks like another big difference is how they feel about new year's resolutions.

Martha Stewart doesn't find Garten's comment 'charming'

Fans across the internet laughed and applauded Ina Garten for her hilarious comment on Reese Witherspoon's Instagram post about her new year's resolutions. Witherspoon shared a video with a caption of some habits she's working towards, "1. Start the day with a big glass of water.2. Get 10 mins of outdoor light. @Hubermanlab recommends morning light. 3. Spend 30 – 60 mins reading without distraction everyday. 4. In bed by 10pm. *no late night TV binges. Try to get 8 hours of rest!" While it was certainly motivating, Garten's relatable comment took a hilarious spin on it. The star chef wrote, "that sounds great but I'm probably not doing any of those things! LOL!! My formula is easier to follow. 1. Drink more large cosmos 2. Stay up late watching addictive streaming series 3. Stay in bed in the morning playing Sudoku instead of reading a good book. 4. Spend more time (safely) with people you love. In a pandemic, I do what I can!"

While fans found the comment hilarious, Martha Stewart didn't quite feel the same. Speaking to People she slightly shaded her fellow chef, "I do not agree about taking to drink to cope with things like the pandemic, to me that's not charming." Ouch. Instead, Stewart imparted some wisdom of her own when it comes to resolutions, "To me it's continuing to work really hard, to be as productive as I possibly can be, to enjoy my grandchildren."
