Hello sweet friends!
I'm so happy you're here. Since I haven't seen you since the new year started, happy 2024!! This is my year of putting myself first, so the reason you haven't seen me until the end of January is because I took time to rest and relax after the holidays. Honestly, I was pretty burnt out and I can't even say when it started. I think I wasn't properly resting the past year. I'd work and edit all night and not get enough sleep and never take time to fully recover before jumping back into work again. So I really took time to just be still and sleep a lot lol. And then, I took a trip to Germany and Austria for 10 days in the middle of January (I filmed it so stayed tuned for that video! We attended a ball in Vienna! 🥹) So because of that I wasn't able to get a video up until now. I still really hope you enjoy it :) This video is a video of my heart. I'm so proud of it. It has taken me the past few years of actively working on changing my mindset so that I could enjoy winter and now it feels that every year I just fall more and more in love with this season. I love it so much, and I know if I could do it, so can you (if you want to 😊)
So without further adieu, I hope you enjoy this video about enjoying winter, romanticizing these dark winter days and welcoming more hygge and stillness into our lives during this cozy season.
Wishing you all the most magical of days. Thank you for being here 🫶🏻

Thank you so much for being here sweet friends!
What has been your favorite part about this winter so far? Have you picked up a new hobby or discovered a new favorite tea or have you experienced any snow days? I'd love to hear!!
P.S. Did anyone stick around until the bloopers at the very end of the video? 😉
My favorite part this winter was snow❄️!!! So grateful to have some this January ( we rarely have it🥲) , my anniversary month! I was working those days and I left heart sign in the snow all the way to work drawing them with my foot and people looking weird at me 😆. I actually started a new book this month , one that was waiting on my tbr and I’m loving it and think you will too, it’s “an enchantment of ravens” by Margaret Rogerson ( recommend her other book “ Sorcery of thorn “ too it’s about books and magic! Perfect combo!)
I ordered the same dress from linenaive ! I can’t wait to receive it ( it sure taking it’s sweet time to come to me 😅). Your little green bonnet is adorable! Did you knit it?
Omg Jared 😂
honestly my favorite part about winter this year in my little corner of the world was that we actually got winter again. cold days and snowy days... ❤not as much as we used to but it felt close to it
I started knitting this winter! I feel like a bit of a granny, but in the best way possible! ❤ it makes me feel so cozy, and has been a great replacement for mindless activities like instagram or tiktok!
I live in alberta and this has been the warmest winter we have had in My entire life! So I've been enjoyed the sunshine, despite it being January ❄️
Love the bloopers 😂 wishing you all the best! Thanks for being one of the things I look so forward too everytime you post! 💗
Beautiful video!!! 🤗 What was the clothing store that you mentioned?
I have to ask what camera and filters do you use cause your videos are just so beautifully gorgeous
I love how Jarred said you looked cute, like Anne of Green Gables when you asked how you looked with the bonnet on! It’s so good that he gets you. (I got questioned why I dressed so different instead) Being an Autumn & Winter gal I want to say that deciding to enjoy a season really does make a difference! Last Summer I decided instead of complaining about the H&H(heat & humidity) of NC summers and longing for it to be over that I’d embrace it instead. I joined a pool and went nearly every day instead of staying in the AC. I enjoyed iced matcha’s at Dunkin Donuts on my way home. I also decorated for summer with mermaids, sea creatures, summer beachy pillows and a pirate/mermaid sign for my downstairs bathroom. It really made the summer fly by in a good way and it lightened my mood. 😊
I love this so much!!
@@LornaKBailey Me, too!
I have cancer and chronic pain. Watching your videos gives me so much comfort. The way you've created a safe space full of magic, books, cozy things and beauty, heals my soul and incredibly my body as well. I relax so much watching your videos with a warm blanket and a hot cup of tea, that i forget about the pain for a bit. Keep up the magic Desi! You really bring a light in this world! ❤️✨️
Oh dear! I am with you in this difficult time of your life. Sending you much love and cozy comforts. ❤
@@MarianneLandry thank you sweet soul ❤️✨️
❤❤❤💪🙏❤❤❤
@@AfricancoolChic ❤️
So sorry.. Praying for you💕
I recently got diagnosed with a chronic illness and it has brought me down significantly. Hearing that you are going through a similar instance and still thriving despite the health challenges is encouraging. I'm so glad I have this video to watch and enjoy; it's certainly a great comfort!!💕✨❄God bless, sending prayers your way!!
Fellow chronic illness sufferer. The best thing you can do is to love yourself through it. Be kind and gentle to your body, you're going to have to get to know the new you.
Oh 😢 sending so much love ... for me similar , i got diagnosed these last days with depression and problems with nervous system 😢
@@RedVelvetLines Thank you for the kind thoughts!! It's definitely a challenge but we'll get through it! God bless
@@baskabaisova2126 Oh I am so sorry! 💕That is a huge challenge. I'll be praying for you!
@baskabaisova2126 nervous system here too. Dysautonomia.
I love everything you wrote in the beginning. 🌨💙❄️ I live in Wisconsin and really like winter. I keep our tree up after holidays and change it to valentine decorations to enjoy the beautiful glow early in the dark mornings before my kids get up.
I’m so happy you loved it. Winter beauty has become some of
my favorite beauty 🥹☁️❄️
Honestly, I am upset I never thought of this idea for my own home. How has this tradition passed me by for three decades?? Genius! ❤😮 *rushes to pinterest for inspo* 💘💋🩷
I love that Ashworth quote! It is so funny that January is seen as a time to set goals and be productive but our bodies are telling us to rest more in the winter ❤️
I love what you said about mind wandering… I think a lot of us numb out with technology and work because we’re scared of being alone with our thoughts, but that’s what we’re meant to do. What a great practice to let the thoughts come and really explore your ideas.
Currently ill and awaiting surgery, almost confined to my home not able to go out. I have become so lost in the darkness and this video has helped greatly, thank you my friend
I wish you good luck with your surgery and hope you have better days ahead.❤
Wishing you the best of health!
good luck Zoe and have a speedy recovery!✨❄🙏
Sending prayers for your quick recovery. God's got you ! Blessings to you friend.
We are kindred souls. The love of books, snow and the winter season? I haven’t met anyone else yet who enjoys all three!! Love your videos👏
I just randomly thought "ooh I wonder what Desi's up to, I would love to hear from her again" and now this!💞 Gotta love when the universe works like this.😄✨
Haha yay!! It was meant to be 🥰
This is the first year I've embraced how I feel about winter. I always slow down, but usually feel guilty about it. Slowing now, I realize there is a visual "cleanness" to winter that gives us time to reset before the (beautiful) visual clutter of spring shows.
Dear Desi, I want you to know that your videos truly bring joy to my life. There are other TH-camrs who are fun and may bring a short moment of joy when I watch their videos, but your videos stay with me long after I watch them. It is the positive attitude, the wonder and amazement with which you approach life that stays in my heart, a reminder of how I must approach my own life and all its little daily miracles.
Feel the same way about winter. If you choose to love parts of it, life gets a little bit better.
I'm a Rhode Island native and I am SO excited that you are loving our sweet little state. I believe you were definitely meant to be a New England girl! There is so much to savor in all seasons and you are close to everything from the ocean to the mountains. Thank you for your sweet videos. Your enthusiasm is contagious! Check out Wickford, RI if you haven't already.
Haven’t even watched it yet, but I’ve been rewatching your start of 2023 video every morning to start the day so I am very excited to be with a friend in our hibernation era ❤
My starting over in 2023 video is one I even watch to motivate myself sometimes! 😄 I hope you enjoy this one! Thank you for being here 🫶🏻🥹
My anxiety has been so bad, I'm having severe panic attacks every day at the moment and your videos help me see the light 🕯️ thank you soso much 💞 xxx
I’ve had those during and after quarantine. I’m so sorry!!! I’m all better now and so will you. Sending you some Greek ☀️ shine to lift your spirits up a little, dear stranger
@@geenagr thank you! ✨🌞
Wish you all the best ❤
I used to have them too to the point that I got so bad I never believed they’d go away.
BUT, they did, so I just wanted to share that things will get better 🩷 I hope you have a lovely winter xx
@@lg4mat thank you so much 💚✨️ everything is so scary, but I know it will get better with time xxx
Your channel is my comfort place 🥺🤍🌷🎀
🥹
Worked out today that my anxiety was getting worse not better, I'd just been living with constant anxiety instead of having panic attacks, as well learning I'm probably autistic and ADHD (nothing wrong with that) and this video has provided the burst of calm and relaxation I desperately needed. Thank you so much Desi ❤
I always watch your videos on repeat. You have no idea how much impact you have on my life. I'm always so calm after watching them. It's like therapy for me.
one of my most favourite videos of yours to date!! thank you so much for spreading the love this winter. I've been able to commit some more time to my knitting this winter (started about a year ago) and it is the perfect cozy hobby! Stay warm and safe friends
I love that!! And thank you so much 🥹🫶🏻💗
I love your crafting mistakes and the cats interrupting the journaling, I like that you sometimes forget names and you get really enthused about things and you are willing to put bloopers at the end- there is something perfectly imperfect about you that is the heart of what is endearing about these videos.
I love living here on the northern east coast USA. We get the best (and the woerst) of all four seasons. I love each one because I know, just when I get sick of one the next one is on its way 😊 I can't be bothered complaining about the weather, I just look for the best in each one. Go out and take pictures of nature, it's so therapeutic!
your videos are so motivating and comforting at the same time💓
🥹💗♥️🫶🏻
As an EDS sufferer, I completely agree with your philosophy of slowing right down in the winter. My pain levels get very high in damp conditions and as I live in the UK, winter is cold and damp! Getting warm and cosy and allowing myself just to be really helps - I also have a mandatory afternoon nap which has revolutionised my mental and physical health 🥰🥰
I‘m laying sickly in bed and watching this video gave me such comfort and warmth. I‘m feeling so much better already now haha! Slowing down even though live can be so hectic is an amazing feeling! ✨
Sending you healing wishes! I really hope you recover soon. Being sick during this time of the year is the worst 😣
I live in Colorado, and I just love days when I wake up to snowfall! I love the Winter. It is such a time of quiet and peace.
I'm in love with the winter this year also..i use to feel melancholy but now I see that nature is doing what its suppose to..resting..stillness..hibernation..im learning to go with the flow of nature as well. Feels better.
“I write about you almost daily in my gratitude journal”, what a beautiful thing to say❤. This may be one of my favourite video’s of yours, I adore the cozy ambience you managed to create. Hope you are well and lots of love from the Netherlands
I come here to relax and enjoy life through your eyes. Sometimes I forget to stop and enjoy the little things. Thanks Desi for being the one to remind me to do that. 💕💕
THIS is the one video that I’ve been longing for lately! I want to keep enjoying this season and this will certainly help. THANK YOU dear Desiree. 😊♥️👏🏻
Thanks mom!! Sorry it wasn’t up sooner 😄 Our trip took up a lot of the time I would have been using to work on this video. But I hope you still enjoy it!
@@DarlingDesi It’s all good! Important thing is that YOU got some needed and deserved R&R! I’m just happy anytime we get to see and experience one of your videos. 🥰
One minute in and I could cry this video is so incredibly sweet. ❤🥹
Boredom is such a friend to creativity. That's part of my struggle right now. It seems there's always so much to do and think about that my brain doesn't have that lovely time to just be bored and wander and see what it can come up with. As a kid I was often in situations that I didn't want to be in and it left time for my brain to be elsewhere. To sit in the boredom and come up with stories and ideas. I really miss that.
Your smile when you were talking about books ❤❤, so contagious ❤
🥰🫶🏻
I deal w same. Inflammation is hard. Ty so much for teaching us to listen, feel, and just be. Enjoy all life has given us. The simple things are what matters in the end.
My little girls have come to the phone and said you look so pretty in your dress and your hair is soooo beautiful ❤. Keep being you Desi xx
Awww 🥹🫶🏻 Tell them I say thank you!!
@@DarlingDesi they’re so happy you commented back. We’re in the UK and love your videos 🥰😘
I love this and totally agree, winter is a time of hibernation, DEEP reflection, introspection and rest and relaxation~~~I miss the snow since I have moved down south~~enjoy and stay cozy~~~
I am thankful I live in a place with all 4 seasons… I love them all! It’s a bit dreary right now here in Pennsylvania. I am hoping for more snow soon 🥰 I always enjoy your videos. Thank you!
I've had a really bad spell of mental health issues this January. It started with SAD then snowballed (hehe, good expression for winter I guess!) I'm doing better now but seasonal depression is so, so real and I have really felt it here in gloomy England. So if anyone is reading this and is struggling, I offer you a hug from one spirit to another. These videos help SO MUCH and I'm so grateful for your uploads, Desi. They are like a warm tonic for the soul
Oh, Desi, your videos and sweet spirit are such a balm to the soul! Thank you so much for sharing your magic with us!
Thank you sweet Elle 🥹🫶🏻
I am seated 🤩🥹❤
Edit: I feel SO inspired, I'm going to change up my living space rn and then start making this paper flowers-kit I bought a while ago, but never got started!
LOVE YOU! 🫶🏻💖
Seeing a new Desi video has been posted is pure joy. I enjoyed your post-christmas winter decorating ideas. This year I've got a winter woodland vibe going on with red accents and a few strategically placed hearts as we go into Valentine's Day. Think winter birds, snowmen, deer, lanterns and some greenery with pinecones and red berries. Cozy winter nature vibes! Thanks for another video and the reminder of winter's simple joys. ❄☺
I have been in such a slump ever since autumn, and I don't know how to pull myself out of it. Nothing is wrong ... but nothing has magic either. I feel like I've beeen living on autopilot, energy-saving mode. This video spoke to me so much, because it's exactly what I need - finding joy in the little things, romanticizing daily activities, taking time for reading, being a little extra with outfits ... I appreciate this content so much because it shifts my mindset, even if just for a little while. ❤
I can't believe I haven't watched this video yet this winter. I think I'll be watching it every second day for the rest of my winter here in the southern hemisphere. So beautiful and encouraging. 💙🌲
I feel so warm and present while watching your videos 🥰 This month my heart has been heavy with depression and anxiety, and now I feel light again. The world you paint is like a cosy fairytale, and I’m blessed to get to peek into it. Thank you Desi! Also I love the bloopers, and that dazzling ruby red hair looks stunning on you ♥️✨ You are a radiant ruby snow Queen! 👑🌹 Sending love from Bath in England 🛁
I love this and it helps as I haven’t been feeling great this past week
I hope you can feel better going forward 🤍 Please remember to take care of yourself 🫶🏻
@@DarlingDesi thanks I’ve just been not well with an infection you too ❤️🥰
i love your filming, editing, the scenes, your voiceovers…everything! Thank you❤
Thank you so much!! 🥹🫶🏻
Your happiness and enthusiasm are so contagious and I always feel energised after watching your videos
Thank you Desi❤
Truly ....you are a blessing to the world..
U make us all love the life we have Little more❤❤❤
Your house is a living dream! It's so cosy and gives me so much inspo for my own place❤ The whole video is so cosy aswell!
“ its magic if you chose to look at it that way”
awhh I just love you Desi 💗💗
I also love the winter, the snow most. I enjoyed watching this while I was knitting. Have a blessed and beautiful day.
Every weekend, when I have time in the morning, I like to sip my coffee and let my mind wander. I do this for about an hour or two, then I write in my journal. This is before I go on my phone or take in any content. My own content comes first.
Thank you Desi! Your videos have become progressively more beautiful over the years and are always a joy to watch ❤️
Ahhh that means so much. Thank you 🥹🫶🏻🤍
I just started the video and I'm in love with the beginning! I love how you included this story. It's so cozy and I immediately feel comfortable🥰🤍
The Intro alone is just so calming and beautiful!
I always love your Videos so much they really inspire me to be more creative and do the things I truly want! Thank you so much, Desi🤍
Thank you for saying that 🥹 The intro is my favorite part of the video 🥰
This is pure magic 🪄 love you and your videos so much 🧡
Thanks for reminding us that Today is a present!!! Be still, enjoy and be passionate about it... Winter is my favorite, too! I love the forced rest...other seasons are so busy!
You are my chocolate chip cookie my friend...thank you so much for making me feel so much better, you do that all the time ❤
That’s just the nicest, sweetest thing to say 🥹💗 Thank you!!
Your videos are so soul-healing, in the times of non-stop life disasters it’s like a breath of fresh air💜 Thank you, Desi, you’re doing a valuable job
Last December and the following January have been some of the hardest months for me personally in a very long time. Mentally, I’ve been so messed up and the sad thing is I know so many people who have experienced the same thing.
When I was saw your video I was genuinely so relieved, because I cannot stress the positive impact your sweet videos have on my life.
Thank you so much for all you do, and I truly hope your winter is lovely.
I love walking through the nature center trails in the snow. I look for all the footprints of the critters that passed down the trail. Once I saw deer tracks weaving from side to side on the trail. The thought of a deer trotting down the trail having fun made me smile. I know he was having fun because there are no predators in this nature center, so he was skipping along for the joy of it.
I love this video so much! I feel like winter for me has been slower taking time to find my bearings and not go all in for the new year but realize I can take it season by season. Your videos are such art thank you for making them!
Talking of therapy, this whole video was a therapy session, but one that leaves you inspired and moved - thank you Desi, you have a beautiful spirit 😊
I did not know how much I needed this video. I grew up in New England, NH to be specific, and after being forced to move a month before quarantine, I have dreamed of moving back. This reminded me of home. Thank you so much and sending virtual hugs. I'm so happy you're living it!!!
Desi your videos are simply magic! I watch and rewatch and they make my mental health so much better. Whenever I'm feeling like life is not great I just watch a bunch of my favorite of your videos and within minutes I am reminded that life is so special and to be cherished. It makes me remember to see the world through new eyes and see all its beauty and splendor! Thank you so much for all your hard work, I just love you so much!!
In a world full of hate and negativity, your are a bless! Your videos are like therapy for me, they are healing my soul. Thank you, Desi❤️
Winter is my absolute favorite season ❤
Your videos are truly an art form. I too, have been having similar experiences of winter this year and it has made such a difference to my mood. Of course, work and routine still has to happen but when I can, I indulge in the dark and quiet moments and feel so content. I used to get swept up in the ‘noise’ of ‘fresh starts’ and New Year goals and whilst I still enjoy thinking of those things, I will rest a while longer in the winter months and embark on them in line with nature when Spring starts to form 💕
You've changed my life by changing my perspective! Thanks Desi 💕💕💕💕
Desi, ever since I found your channel last spring, it has changed my outlook on life! Making my house a home, reading, seasons...you are influencing so many for the good! Thank you so much💖
Desi, watching this video was like recieving a warm hug! I've been so exhausted and stressed for months, and now I was thinking that I need to get tons of projects done at once. This video truly arrived at the right time. What a great message, it's winter, nature is hibernating and of course we should also get cozy and take it easy! Thank you!
First of all, thank you for this video. I know what you mean about being out in the cold. For me it's absolutely saving my mental health this year. Something that helps me enjoy winter more is decorating for Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day, which includes cute heart lights and shamrock lights. I turn them on first thing in the morning while it's still dark, and then turn them on again when it gets dark in the late afternoon. It's very cozy. I hope you continue to feel well. Sending a hug. ❤
I love your videos they remind me to slow down and take in the present, my life has been hectic at the minute we moved across the country shut down our business and now looking in to different careers and i can feel the tightly wound , snappy me coming back and i did so well managing her towards the end of the summer , so thank you for being the friend i need even though you have no idea who i am 😊
Perfection as always! You are a blessing to TH-cam. Thank you for the beauty and wisdom you bring into so many lives and homes with your videos. I will be watching this video every winter ❤
Your videos are such a balm for the soul, wishing you all the best in your chronic illness journey, it’s a beastly thing ❤
I used to skip over the January months for so long because I feel so stagnant in this month but recently I've been loving this month by leaning to its slowness, listening to calm accoustic folk, drinking warm tea and lounging into a cozy night. This has made me appreciate the difference of each season
You are such a a calm and beautiful person. I always love seeing your videos and rewatching them while I draw - thank you for posting ❤
Your videos bring so much peace! I have a multitude of health issues, and watching your videos are so inspiring.❤
This year for the first time, I can really feel myself embracing the winter and not trying to rush through it in search of spring. And those sunny days after a storm are the most beautiful. I feel like I'm truly taking in the New England winter this year
When you were walking through the snowy woods it looked like you had just stumbled into Narnia! ❄️🌲 I live in California where we don’t ever get snow, so I very much enjoyed pretending I was walking alongside you! Thank you for your inspiration and encouragement to enjoy these slow, cozy days. Much love 🤍
This lovely, soulful video has caused me some sweet tears of gratitude. Thank you, Desi. ❤ I, too, savor winter as a time to nestle in for deep rest and recovery. This season brings me the deepest peace. May it bring much healing peace to you and yours. ❄️🕯️❄️
I am sorry that you haven't felt well lately, but you are on the mend to recovery! Your videos are AMAZING, the quality, the content, the thought that you put in them, you are a true artist. Sending you lots of love and virtual hugs! And yes, Winter is amazing!
This channel has helped me discover a long lost part of myself and I’m so thankful ✨
This video was incredibly beautiful, both in cinematography and in the story you are telling! Thank you for providing us with so much magic 💌🤍✨
I cannot describe how much my day improves when I watch your videos! Thank you for magic in them✨❄️
Demi you are truly my favorite creator to watch I even consider you as a friend who I get to visit even if I don’t know or and I’m just watching through a screen but your videos truly feel like a warm hug and the most delicious and gooey homemade cookies☕️💕thank you so much for all the hard work you put into your videos it truly shows. Giving you the biggest virtual hug and I’m going to pick up my book that’s in my nightstand now and read🕯️
Desi your videos literally make my days, the love you put in them is just unbelievable and you’re magical, such a pure soul, thank u so much for being you🫶🏻🤍 all the love from Italy💖
You are a delight!
Thank you for these videos, which we all look forward to, each one is like a present.
You bring so much joy, wisdom and beauty to so many, thank you. ❤
Thank you for sharing your bright light and talent with us! You've helped to create a lovely community of kindred spirits. This video was just the perfect cozy reminder to embrace the peace of the winter season. Also, LOVE the Brambly Hedge vibes❤
i've been having bad seasonal depression this year and your videos help motivate me to have a more positive outlook on each season and I appreciate your unfiltered joy and enthusiasm. as always, thank you for the video and if you have any cozy book recommendations i'd love to hear them!
I look forward and love every video you put it. It is so important to love yourself and practice self care daily. I am trying to lean into less screen time, tv time etc and focus more on my reading and knitting, crochet to quiet my mind and focus more on resting etc. I love the examples of the coziness in our homes and how that impacts our mental well being. A kindred spirit in NC. That you for such quality and packed full of light and joy in such a dark society❤️ peace my friend
I think this is the first time I'm commenting, but I absolutely love your videos! You brought back my love for reading seeing how you romanticise everything and your book content! I have only been watching since about the summer last year so I'm very new! As someone who is disabled (and has chronic fatigue) I can relate to you a lot (in a different way but similar) so it's comforting! I have missed your uploads so it's great to see this one! Thank you for all you do! Xx
I want to thank you so much for this video. The last two weeks have been filled with mental stress to the point of exhaustion, both mentally and physically.
Living in the Midwest we haven't had much snow, sadly, and I love the snow.
It's the most beautiful time of the year and I am a autumn girl!
But winter snowfall is peaceful.
It's hard to describe but when the snow falls it quiets all the chaos and covers it in a blanket of white, clean and fresh.
Like a good rain washes away the day and lifts up the earthy scents. Snow covers. I feel it covers the drama and chaos and says rest, rewind, reset, renew. It's amazing. Seeing you enjoy it, filled my heart with so much joy I felt my heart overflowing with those same feelings of winters past.
For the first time in weeks I was able to exhale and let go.
I can't even explain how I felt I could smell and feel the crispness of the snow as you were walking.
So thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this, I have a renewed spirit and hope for better days to come.
So much love friend ❤️
i just finished watching an old video for you to cozy up in this cold night under my blanket with a warm cup of tea ❤ so glad you posted a new one💖
I get my best ideas when I’m driving. I listen to classical music if I can get a radio station or if not just me and driving and my thoughts. Thanks for sharing your winter. Be well.
Your wintering video is exactly what my soul needed. I usually curl up happily during these dark frosted nights, but this year, not so much. Thank you for reminding me of how magical this season actually is. You are such a dear light in this world, Desi. Keep sparkling & shining, sweet winter sprite. ❄️💝
Oh how I've missed your videos, Desi. They bring so much joy and peace to my heart. I'm so glad you're doing well.
I've been reading the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Hobbit for the first time this winter and I am so obsessed. The movies hold a special place in my heart but the books are masterpieces. There's a reason Tolkein is on of the best.
Keep well and keep happy
I’ve been struggling trying to get over pneumonia and seeing your video today brightened my day. Beautifully done thank you❄️🌻❄️
I wanna take a moment to truly thank you, Desi. I stumbled upon your channel a few months ago and fell in love with your Fall content as I’m a Fall girlie as well. 🎃🍂 Then I binged the rest of your videos and something clicked inside of me. You helped me realize that it’s time to start making changes to enjoy my life because I only get one of it. I’ve been filling my life the past 3 years with things that don’t make me happy just because of the fear of walking away. My New Year’s resolution this year was to start living a life I love and to be able to say by the end of this year that I’m thriving. You helped me see that that’s attainable and now I’m working towards that goal slowly but surely. Love you so much.
When the day is rainy and gray just lighting a seasonal candle helps make the dreary turn cozy. Helps with the mood a lot. Thank you for inspiring us to romaticize our lives and make those small differneces that turn the ordinary into magic! You seem so happy and present in the season in this video, it's a joy to watch.
