- Hello friends!
I've had the absolute best time filming this video. I really was living my best life as summer was starting and it was so magical to capture all these special moments. My goal for this video was to capture how the start of summer feels. The magic that's in the air when one season is turning into the next. I really hope you enjoy this vlog :) It's includes making my summer mood board and bucketlist, a book haul, baking sourdough bread for my first time, my favorite summer activities and essentials & more :)

I'm disabled and can't do a lot of the things I want to because of chronic pain, but your videos are such a comfort, and inspire me to find new ways to find joy and adventure, finding the "glimmers" in the everyday. Thank you for all you do to bring joy to so many people.
I understand… I have AS. Her videos make me smile, and to, reach for the things I can actually touch. God bless you. Sometimes it’s nice to know others do actually.. understand! Keep reaching Sweet friend!❤
Same! You aren’t alone! Finding the joys and glimmers I can. So many hugs to you ❤️❤️🩹🫂
Same
Same because of conic illness, still trying to come to terms with it
So lovely to see others thinking the same. ❤
❤
Desi, I CANNOT get over how good your videos are. THEY are my glimmer! I literally re-watch old ones until you upload again. Thank you so much for helping us to appreciate the seasons, reading, and life in general.
You are so incredibly kind, thank you 🥹🫶🏻
Made lilac syrup, eating straight from the garden, drying rose petals, wearing my summer witchy hats, making sun teas, dining al fresco, watching the goldfinch flitting about the birdfeeder, reading spooky summer books, chatting with our bees, cloud watching, sleeping with the windows open..... enjoying all the summer moments.
This sounds like perfection 😍. What spooky summer reads are you reading?
@@CelisticMarion The plan this summer, shaky as it may be since I have a great library and bookstores nearby, is to read books with a summery theme or setting from my OWN shelves. To that end I have several toppling stacks of selected books near my nightstand. It includes a little bit (or a lot) of most genres. But I'm particularly determined to read the spooky ones, which include Her Dark Lies by J. T. Ellison, The Lovely and the Lost by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, Black Rabbit Hall by Eve Chase, and The Solstice Wood by Patricia McKillip. I also have two middle grade spookies - Wretched Waterpark by Kiersten White and What Lives in the Woods by Lindsay Currie. I've already read What Lies in the Wood by Kate Alice Marshall (last year I read her YA book Rules for Vanishing, Iove her books), and Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant (which was entertaining but not really the mood I am looking for, I'm more interested in spooky woods and old houses with secrets.) What about you? Any planned books for the summer, spooky or otherwise?
@@FaeryLaume ohh! That sounds lovely! I, too, am trying to focus on the stack of books by my bed! I need to add all of the ones you listed to my TBR because those sound like just my thing! I am currently reading A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab. My next read is A Kingdom of Stars and Shadows by Holly Renee(which is a fantasy romance, I think?) Then I have Spells for Lost Things by Jenna Evans Welch, Lending a Paw by Laurie Cass, Put Out to Pasture by Amanda Flower (which I might save for a cozy autumn read), The Lady in The Attic by Tara Randel, and These Silent Woods by Kimi Cunningham Grant. 🤗
@@CelisticMarion And now I must add many of yours to MY list. LOL. We happily enable each other. ;) I loved the Darker Shade of Magic books and there's a new book coming out in the fall set in the same universe called The Fragile Threads of Power. I read library copies but found a like new copy of the first book in the series at the thrift store yesterday.
@@CelisticMarion Oh, I almost picked up These Silent Woods yesterday too. Dang it, now I wish I had. Oh well, it's probably at my library, and it looks from the cover more of a winter read anyway...
Finding your channel allowed me to reconnect with myself. The girl I had been hiding inside because her peers didn't accept her whimsy and made fun of her. Almost 40 and making up for lost time! Thank you Desi! Sincerely! It's such a wonderful feeling finding your way back home to the genuine person inside ❤
I treat a new Desi upload like a feature film release in my house haha!
😩😭🫶🏻🥹💕
Me too! It's a whole event
Sometimes Desi's videos make me cry out of pure happiness. I know it sounds silly, but I take so much comfort in these videos so much, and they make me feel pure joy. Please continue to making so many people's days that extra bit more magical 💖
Desi, I try so hard to save your new videos as rewards for getting my work done, but I can never wait to hit play!! 😊 Summer is my least favorite season, but now I'm suddenly swooning for summer's softness, beauty, and glimmers. You are magical and inspiring and a kindred spirit to more of us than you could possibly know. Thank you so much! Happy Summer!
Hi Desi! Your first sourdough looks great! I used to run a sourdough business in the Summers and wanted to share some tips. You definitely don’t need a Dutch oven for it to work. I’d recommend putting a pan of water on the bottom shelf of your oven while you’re baking to keep the air moist; it mimics a convection oven and keeps the bread from drying out which is the point of the Dutch oven. Also, the gummy texture could be from over hydration, but it could also be undercooked. And if you cut the loaf before letting it cool completely, that can lead to a gummy texture, too. I hope this helps!! I also think you’d really enjoy doing sourdough painting and/or pressing edible flowers into the top of the dough! It’s totally your vibe.
My favorite Summer "glimmer" watching lightning bugs ( fireflies) in the evenings. No matter what the day has been like, watching them always makes me smile! Happy Summer ☀️
I always appreciate Desi' s videos because she is able to walk the line between tapping into the best, most ideal versions of ourselves, while still remaining grounded. Her videos feel less like an aspiration and more like a reconnection to the best parts of humanity and nature. Thanks Desi.
Desi, the vibes in this video are simply stunning! You’ve managed to capture the magic of summer in this one video and I’ve never been more excited for 100 degree days ❤
That’s the best compliment ever thank you so much 🥹🫶🏻
I cannot WAIT for summer! The warm sun, the subtle breeze, the smell of fresh flowers and sound of busy buzzing bees, not having to wear bulky jackets but instead wearing flowy dresses and sandals. Not only all that but the beach on the warmest day of the year and feeling the sand under your feet and listening to the ocean doing its daily duty. What a dream this will be in just a few months! Thank you for this beautiful reminder of what is to come
Such a refreshing video that magnifies living life through experiences rather than having to buy items to feel alive ! Making memories and being happy with what you have in your life and what you choose to make out of it - so uplifting and encouraging. Appreciate this so much 😊
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I definitely do still buy items because I love having special things, and they do bring me happiness. But just doing your best and focusing on small moments of being present beats out everything else 💕
I’ve been ignoring my softness because of stress in my life and watching this video reminded me of what I feel when I’m truly in touch with my soft aesthetic. Being soft is more than style. It’s a lifestyle that promotes simplicity and tranquility. Thank you for this gentle reminder to embrace that again! ❤️
"As an adult I've DECIDED to love it" this is what I intend to do with this winter ❤
Oh, I just can't wait! This is definitely the best way to start my evening in our grandparents' summer cottage! Thank you so incredible much!💖🌻
Sounds like you are living a summer dream 😍
I’m in England and I’m so looking forward to spending my Friday night watching this and eating snacks 😊. I love Darling Desi’s videos they are so gentle and comforting ❤
Aww that sounds like such a lovely evening. Thanks for choosing to spend 20min of your evening with me 🥹💕🫶🏻
@@DarlingDesi you’re more than welcome. It’s an absolute pleasure to be in your company. Have a wonderful weekend x
I can't seem to hear "The sun is shining," without going, "The sun is shining the tank is clean!" I'm so inspired now to do my own summer bingo! I've had a tough beginning of the year and I often forget that I can make the rest of the year better, I don't have to wait for a whole new year. This video is so lovely, refreshing, and inspiring!
I’m pmsing, this is going to help so much with my moodiness 😭💗 Desi always puts a smile on my face 🤗
Oh I feeeel ya. I just came out of that a couple days ago. Sending you all the love and good vibes 🫶🏻
I swear every video you create just gets better & better! Summer can be so hard to capture but you really brought it to life. ☀️Loved this so much friend! 🫶🏻
You are the sweetest friend 🥹🫶🏻 Love you!! 💗
Oh Desi...this was what my heart needed today. I've really been struggling since last Fall and haven't looked forward to Summer like I usually do. This helped. I will try to look for the glimmers each day. Thank you for naming your starter Betty. That was my mom's name and she just passed in January. Thank you for a lovely, lovely video. ❤
im crying reading this!
Discovering you was a breath of fresh air. I mean, in a hungry world full or people that are always in a hurry, being here, listening to your lovely voice, seeing all this wonderful stuff, this way of gentle living... I crave for a future like this, just outside of a novel. You are an inspiration for us, Desi. Thanks for being you, thanks for let us be ourselves.
DESI!! Girl, I have been dying for your summer vids. Can’t wait for the premier~😎☀️
This is one of my favorite summer videos I’ve made 🥰 I hope you love it!
Dear Desi, i cant describe how much you have influenced my life the past half year. I found your channel, when i was at a very low point in my life, and you changed my perspective of life entirely. I love your channel and i love you as a person! Thank you so much ❤❤️
Hi, sweet friend! Your channel is a haven of warmth and comfort for me. It's the solace in the delicate petals of moments that you share unfolding one by one, like a beautiful blooming flower in a meadow. Your videos cast a protective shield around our hearts, protecting us from the storms of life. You have given all of us a home where we feel understood, accepted, and cherished. When I see a notification for a new video, I am rest assured knowing that I will be embraced by tranquility and serenity. All I have to do is sit back and bask in the gentle and peaceful space that you've so lovingly created. I am forever grateful for you teaching me how to find the magic in the mundane, to live softly, to treasure the small moments, and live life to the fullest. Your channel has become the coziest corner on the internet, where we all feel held and safe. Thank you for sharing your healing light and for bringing us along this journey of tender moments of joy. Beaming all of my love, appreciation, and support to you always! 🌸
What a sweet comment, I feel the same❤ Desi just always makes me smile
Hi @pinkpistachio13
You have a real gift with words! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Hugs & Sparkles! 🫂❤️✨
@@brendabignall9926 aww thank you that's so very kind of you to say! as an insecure writer that truly means the world to hear! you're an angel. 🥰✨
@@Lillyjoy Aww thanks! She truly is so very special. Don't know what I would do without her light in my life. She's been my anchor while on my journey of grief. So happy she brings you joy too! 💖
Im making seasonal playlists with all your seasonal videos for when I’m in a funk! Thank you for all this beautiful work you do and the even more beautiful message you always infuse into each video 🩷💛🩵
The bingo idea gives me the same vibe and excitement as summer ideas in old American girl magazines 🥹 so whimsical and sweet, I love that you show that adults still deserve to feel magical 💕
Hi Desi. Your videos are glimmers. They put me in a state of mind of hope and magic. Thank you from a warm and sunny Sweden. Have a great summer everybody!
I love 💗 it. I love this video so much, Desi. I relate so much to the quote about aching so much for summer days during the winter that you don’t want to take a single day for granted. I’m watching this in July and when June ended, I was already sad about being one month closer to winter and how I have even less days of summer left. I can’t believe we’re already half way through the year and only 2 months of summer left… I love spring and summer and dread the cold seasons… I strongly dislike winter… 😢
This year I decided to live each day extra extravagant, going out of my way to dress up, to make each day feel magical. I decided to read a book or a story from my folklore collection every night. Desi thank you for these videos they make everything so magical
it can officially feel like summer after watching a Desi video🦋🌞
SO EXCITED I CAN'T WAIT ☀️☀️☀️
So excited to watch this while I crochet! The best combination! 😊💕
I so look forward to your videos, Desi! I just love what you do so much❤ makes me feel so warm and cozy and as always a great reminder to appreciate the small things in life. Thank you!
So excited to watch this! It'll be a much needed mood lifter after the week I've had 🩷
I so love watching all your videos Desi! And your book recommendations are spot on for me! Thank you for being you and sharing with us 💗📚🤗
Ah Desi, you’re videos are beautiful and bring me so much peace! Thank you for bringing a little bit of light to each season 🤍
Love the stone walls and countryside, reminds me of back home, my home country in Somerset, in the South West of England 😊
I, too, am attempting to begin my bread baking era! May your loaves rise! Thank you for another beautiful video, Desi!
Your videos always bring me so much joy and make me feel like I belong in this world. Thank you Desi! I hope everyone has a magical summer 💫
Thank you for all that you do Desi! You are like a lil “smile fairy” to me. I feel serene when I see that you’ve posted.❤
Thank you so much for your videos. They bring me so much joy and you just hit that perfect spot. That's what summer feels like to me. Thank you for who you are, you are such a wonderful human being❤️😊
So inspiring as usual. Thank you, Desi - I am excited to make my summer bucket list 😊
How lovely your world is Desi! Thank you for sharing❤
One of my favorite videos so far. I love your gentle reminders not to take things for granted. Thank you❤
Such wonderful summer vibes!! 🌞💛🌞
Your videos always show a row of glimmers. You really got a talent, capturing the moment and create an astetic little masterpiece. Really love the feeling, thank you!
I love the sound of rain. It's so calming.
I have been rewatching all of your videos! I am so excited for this. Been looking forward to it all day ☺️
I can’t wait! Summer here in Florida is absolutely brutal, so I live vicariously through your beautiful summer videos
🍓🦋🐝🌻☀️
This makes me so excited for summer. I've never much liked summer but this video has allowed me to look at it differently! Thank you Desi
This video gave me chills. So thought provoking. Simply stunning. ✨
Desi, Thank you for the reminder to enjoy those simple things in life and to treasure them. Your videos always feel uplifting and inspiring. You are the best! :)
Each shot of this video is so enchanting it could be a summer postcard 💚☀️🍉
That was so lovely!! Definitely made me so inspired to find the glimmers of summer!
Desi inspires me to be a better person and focus on the new memories I can make and pulls out the nostalgia thank you desi so much
The view out of your front window is so breathtaking! It’s giving all of the cozy beach town vibes.
I welcomed in summer solstice with meditation in the warm sun and I bake a lemon bunt cake..i am ready for summer!
I'm baking a lemon cake as we speak!!
If only we could all think like you Desi, but unfortunatley we cannot. Work is a hassle and I think that's how things have to go for certain people.
Desi, loved this video! ❤️ It brought back memories of me and my brothers playing outdoors in the sun when we were young, spending hours outside until we were so tired. Thanks for that! 😊❤️
I love how you always see the positive things in life, your videos and your outfits and your look on life are absolutely beautiful.
There’s nothing quite like starting summer this way ☀🌻💖
Desi, I always look forward to your videos. They make me smile and through all my years of watching TH-cam, I haven’t watched videos like yours. Also, you do such a fantastic job curating the music and I wanna listen to it after and make a summer playlist! Hope you’re doing well :) Have a great summer!
Your videos always inspire and lift my mood!! A soft summer it is, starting now.:-) Lots of love!
I have NEEDED my dose of Desi serotonin!!! Yaaas!!! You just make me feel happy. I hope your new home is treating you magically. Can't wait to clean and listen to you later. 🥰✨️
its been hotter than usual here in the UK but you have made me feel more grateful for the summer season, I thankyou for your soothing content and making my evening more relaxed 🌺💞
Thank you for being a glimmer in our lives, Desi! ❤
I love what you said about rushing at the start, life is so busy sometimes it really bogs down our happiness. Definitely a good reminder to slow down! 💞
This was so magical! All of the shots were so beautifully done!
this is such a beautiful video!! i really needed a pick me up to get me excited for my own soft girl summer, thank you so much desi for sharing your magical vibes with all of us!!! 🌷🤍🌻🍓
What an absolute joy this video was to behold! You beautifully captured the essence of the lush, long, wide open possibilities of summer days so perfectly! Such an inspiration for a fall/winter loving soul like me! Excited to seek out the many glimmers this season can bring! ☀️🍉🌻📚🌊
Thank you, Desi ! What a beautiful comforting video. Thank you for telling me about glimmers! I love the idea.
I’ve been checking my notifications all week for this! After being in a dark place this is just what I need to get back to romanticizing my life. Thank you Desi💕
This is so calming and comforting! Thank you! ☀️
I’ve watched this twice already 🩷 It’s been sooo unseasonably hot here that I’ve been in a bad mood but your video has me determined to pull out of it! Enjoy your NE coastal summer!!
You have made me appreciate all seasons. Used to love summer and then hated it when I moved to Florida because hurricane season and now I’m back to loving it again even though I’m a fall girly through and through. Thanks for all the time time and effort you put into your videos. It’s magical.
Starting my morning w breakfast, a cup of coffee, and a new desi video ☺️ couldn't be a better start to this gorgeous summer day
Happy summer Desi and everyone!☀️☀️☀️
Happy summer to you too 🌸🍓
Thanks you too ❤🌸🍉🌈☀️
❤❤❤❤❤YOU TOOOOOO
Happy summer sweet friend!! 🥰
@@wanyatelborn thank you!🌈🌸
Thank you for reminding me of what summer is all about. I’ve been rushing around so much that I’ve lost that joy of what the world brings at this time. 💕🍄🌻
It’s a rainy winter night here in Australia but I’m so excited to watch! Looks beautiful Desi 🌺
It’s rainy here today too 🌧️ But nice summer rain 🥰 Thanks so much for being here to watch! I hope you’ll love the video 🫶🏻
I saved this until the perfect morning to watch and fully take in and I am so glad I did. I love that you find the magic in any place you go, Desi. This summer has so far been exceptionally rainy (like Twilight level) and in the low 70s every day. I can't wait to go spend a day on the lake when the weather is finally hot!!
OMG, You probably hear this quite often, but I love the same things you do. Your vlogs are joyous & a visual feast. Have a blessed weekend! 😌 🙌 😇 🙏 ☺️
So so perfect, Desi! Thank you for this much needed inspiration! ❤
You are making me miss the Northeast sooooo much! I love this content, it's been a rough few months and wholesome content like this just helps.
Your videos always brighten my days. You are a very special and magical little human.
your videos are such comfort and warmth for me. You really helped me with a more positive outlook on life and I have learned to see the beauty in so many things now. Plus I always get so motivated to read more when I watch your videos🪷
Something that I genuinely love and appreciate about you is your creative and unique ideas on romanticizing your life per season. I feel like I get ideas from you that I've never heard of before anywhere else. I'm totally going to do the basket book idea! Thanks queen
Your videos are such a beautiful inspiration, they bring magic back into my life and make me fall in love with the seasons! This is my first summer away from scorching heat, so I’m excited to spend lots of time outside! ✨
I tend to cry whenever I see something so beautiful. Your videos always make me cry Desi. They are so beautiful that they move me to tears. ❤
Dear Desi, this video gives so much inspiration for completing all of "simple magic" seasonal activities just from the very first seconds ⭐️🌾 Thank you for giving beauty, comfort and inspiration in your amazing content🤍
I always put off your videos to when I know I’m going to be able to sit down with no distractions and fully enjoy. This one was just like watching a movie. It was perfect in every way! Summer is my least favorite season and this has inspired me to find the little things to enjoy during this time!
Here for all the beautiful summer vibes ☀️
Desi, I just want to say one more time how much I love you and appreciate your work, personality and love that you put in your life! You deserve all of the happiness. I wish you health and happiness! - And good changes 😃😊☺️ Don’t pay much attention to negative things and thoughts, and just enjoy your life, please 🌷 Make it beautiful and just full of life and light. Thank you for everything you do💜
Desi never disappoints. Her videos are always top notch. Perfect for summer. Perfect for all year long 🥰🥰🥰
🥹🫶🏻💕
Thank you Desi for gifting us with your magical view of our world❤ every time I watch one of your videos I really believe that we can find magic in each day❤ ⭐️I wish everyone to spend a beautiful soft summer this year❤🌷🌺🍒🍉
This video is filled with a series of glimmers!! It delights on so many fronts: content-wise, and aesthetically, visually, sparking moments of playful joy and delight. The literary quotes and the music choices are beautiful! Thank you! 🥰💕💫
Loved this video! Thank you for sharing the start of summer with us al! 🌸🌺🌼🪷💐🌷🌹l
I adore all of this! Currently soaking in some winter sun in Australia and looking forward to more warmth and glimmer!
This video made me tear up. 🥲 the concept of a glimmer really speaks to me. thank you for bringing comfort and beauty and magic to this world, Desi. You are so loved, friend. 💕
Desi, this video was exactly what i needed! This year i have been appreciating the beautiful pieces of magic in everyday or as you called it “glimmers” which i just love! I feel so inspired after watching this video i even sat and made my own summer bingo bucketlist today to get into the mood for summer ✨ your videos put the biggest smile on my face and i always come back to them when i need a pick me up 🤍
