Hello my friends, I hope you're doing well! I took time off during January to focus on some other projects and mostly to prepare for our big cross country move. I'm so excited to announce that we are moving to New England! (I'll share the specific state in my next video)
In this video I wanted to share my life reset that I've been implementing for 2023. A starting over vlog. Prioritizing my mental health and focusing on happiness first. For me that has looked like reading lots of fairytales, eating healthier, not scrolling on my phone and listening more to those who love me instead of strangers on the internet. It has also consisted of a lot of journaling :)
I hope you enjoy the video! Any guesses as to which state we're moving to? I can't wait to share! 🤍
p.s. we have 2 kitties now! The new cat you see in this video is Mr. Benedict. He's 2 months older than Binx and he's a floofy cloud. We love him so so much.

Hi Darlin'!
I am a almost 60 year old women who has been through a lot in my life. At times I felt adrift and lost, other times elated and happy. I have been struggling with Anxiety for most of my life. I firmly believe coming across your channel a few years ago was no accident. Since then I re-discovered my love for books, tea and candlelight (or tea by candlelight 😊) simply and unapologetically being myself. Watching your videos makes my days a little brighter, a little less hectic. You bring so much joy to everyone here and are such an incredible gift in this hussle and bussle world. Thank you for being you!
Love,
Rosie
Hi Rosie,
I'm almost 60 as well. I am wondering if you're also following 60 and Me which gives a lot of tips for women 60 and over regarding issues that are common for women in this stage of our lives?
Hi Brigid! No, I have not.
But thank you for the tip. I will check it out.
Have a fabulous day!
@@rosiealverdes2113 hi ladies, i'm 35 but i love watching the channel Life Over 60 With Sandra. maybe you'll like it too.
I’m turning 59 next month and reading your comment made me feel like crying with understanding. It felt like I was rereading my own journal.
I’m just discovering this channel but it feels like home to me. ❤
I couldn't help but tears at the end thank you so much sis for sharing your story I'm inspired! Glad I started my path to reinventing myself a year ago, I’m now living healthier, confident, stronger, making 6 figures, having leisure to enjoy family &friends. I feel happier and living my life for myself . This is to encourage someone “you can start anytime to have a reset it’s worth it! I’m striving to continue growing cus it’s a journey 💗
Congratulations sis! Thanks for encouraging others with your story, I will love to get tips from you too
Change your mindset, read self-help books, expand knowledge, budget and don't spend on impulse, save, take your finances seriously, eat healthy, exercise your body, meditate; the list goes on...
I hope it is useful to you.
How did you grow to 6 Figure ? I’m honestly trying to work on my personal finance this year.
Congratulations that's a big big win 👍
I learnt to be frugal, minimal on spending, saving and paying myself first through Investing, made Plans, growing passive income, Read a lot of books on finance, followed my plan consistently.
"Sometimes the place we're used to, is not the place we truly belong." Such a true statement! Thank you for inspiring us to continue to pursue happiness and gentle living, wherever that may be. I wish you all the best moving to the East Coast and many new and happy memories in your new home. 😊
I was NOT emotionally prepared for that last part 😢😅 I'm equal parts sad to see you say goodbye to Utah, and extremely excited to see you thrive by the sea! Just wanted to say a sincere thank you for helping all of us fall in love with Utah and your home there. You truly know how to highlight the magic in this world, and your videos add so much joy and value to my world. Thank you. 💜
YES. I can only agree with you.
As a 54 year old mom and grandmom you have brought renewed light to my soul! I couldn't be happier to have found you two years ago! Giving ourselves permission to romanticize parts of our lives has changed my life! Thank you for being you and teaching all who watches how precious life is and can be ❤️ Enjoy your moving adventure (I'm a born and bread New Englander in Maine) and I can hardly wait for your next video! All my love to you and Jared and your sweet furbabies! Xoxo 🤗 p.s. love your hair!
Awww I agree! She is so calming
I'm a 54 year old mom too! I envy these two youngsters and the wide open road they have in front of them! I feel the same way you do about this video. (her videos...It's my first time watching) Just scrumptious! 🥰 Very inspiring.
Hey Desi! You probably will never see this comment, and it will be left to float in the abyss of the internet forever. But I wanted to share with you how much this channel did for me. I'm thirteen - a teenager trying to figure life out in a crazy mess of a world. When I first found you channel, I found myself relating to it so much. You shared things in your Romanticizing Life video that I didn't even realize I was already doing. Autumn has always been my favorite season, but here in California the cold seasons are not much for romanticizing. Everything is just dry and warm all year round. I dream of going to college on the East Coast, or maybe even in England. Your channel is just peak vibes and energy for me. I used to think the internet was hurting me, but finding channels and accounts like yours taught me something different: there were people out there who were like me. I know you shared not having friends as a kid, so you probably know what I'm talking about when I say that I always just feel odd and mis-matched next to all the preppy, tik-tok obsessed girls I know. You and your channel have gotten me through loneliness, trying to find acceptance, figuring out who I want to be (obviously still a work in progress, and will probably be for the rest of my life). You also inspired me to start my own channel on TH-cam.
So thank you, Desi. I wish you and anyone who's read this to the end the most *aesthetic* 2023. May all your dreams for this year become a reality.
✨
May you become all that your Maker intends! God bless🌿🩷🌿.
You are only 13? Wow, you are very well spoken. I wish you lots of love & success. As Desi said, the only one who needs to be proud of you is YOU! If I could talk to my 13-year-old self (I am 58), I would tell her to be find her inner source (God) who loves her unconditionally & be that person. Do not live her life trying to please everybody else because it’s only from loving yourself truly that you can help anybody anyway. Set big dreams & follow them. This is your life so live it in a way that makes you happy & fulfilled. Sending you love & light 🥰☀️
@@bradrushing5959 Thank you so much!
@@LindaKayHolevas Thank you for the kindness! That is all great advice, and try to remind myself of it.
Best Wishes to You, Leah.
💕💕💕
Am I crying ? Yes I am. You're just the most incredible women in this whole world so thank you sooo much to be here ! You know, watching your videos is just feeling safe, like giving a big hug to the person you love the most in the world. Enjoy this new adventure that life brings you
Your comment is going to make me cry 🥹😩💖 Thank you so incredibly much!! 💕
We make each other cry haha ❤️
That is so true, i wish i could give you a big hug and say personally to you: Good luck! You are the friend we all would love to have it close, next to us.
Best wishes from Uruguay
Lol
Lastly I just wanted to say thank you for creating this channel Desi. It' such a comfort place for much full of magic and whimsy. A safe space that you never wanna leave😍 Thank you for all the hard work and the hours you put into it, it really pays off immensely💞
I wanna love this as it also brought tears to my eyes! I had a rough Xmas dealing with seasonal depression which is strange as a Canadian that my boyfriend and I felt yet her Christmas videos lifted us and we took a different more natural turn and back to ourselves! She is inspiring to not give up on yourself! We are here, we are home! Haha I changed my hair too!❤❤😂😂🎉
Perfect thing getting ready for college
“Baby steps are still steps” I love that! Thank you for this lovely video ☺️💕
"Sometimes the place you are used to is not the place you belong" absolutely love that. That's my new maxim for 2023. Thank you, Desi. X
You are one of the VERY few creators that i look forward uploading their work. You are like a warm hug, a soft kiss, a gentle smile. Wish you good health and that everything comes as you want it to be. The new place will suit you SO much, you'll be like one of the Gilmore Girls! ❤❤❤❤❤
This felt like the ending of one out of many fantasy films! So beautifully created and just lovely...wishing you well in this next chapter and I look forward to your next "film" where you're the main character Desi ♡♡♡
Thank you so much for saying that 🥹🤍
Desi, thank you so much for this video. It brought me to tears. Especially when you said "sometimes the place we're used to is not the place you truly belong". That hits so hard for me right now. I'm 19 and still living at home with my mum but I can feel I've grown out of my family home and I need something new. At the moment I am not able to make that happen so when you say that, it really touched me deeply. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your videos bring a spark of joy to my life.
One day I hope to live in a little cottage with a garden with tons of flowers. Maybe a cat and a dog. And bake bread and knit and create so many wonderful things and live a simple life away from the business of the world. I know there will be hard days but you can't have the light without the shadow.
Thank you again,
Rosy Garland 💚🌻
I'm sick with COVID trying to keep a busy 1 year old entertained, and your video actually got her to cuddle up and sit still for 20 minutes while I finish my coffee! Congratulations on your new chapter.
Hope you feel better soon! Covid for me was also a very horrendous experience and I nearly died. Feel better vibes being sent your way 🥰
@@ladymc-ly8zm 🥰

How wonderful! I applaud your tenacity in creating a life that fits YOU. Living someone else’s idea of a life never really works. Keep romanticizing & manifesting the life that is calling to you. I am a 65 year young grandmother/artist who delights in your gift of sharing your story. I’m sending you one of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite poets, Mary Oliver - “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” Thank you for telling us a part of your story and so generously sharing a part of your precious life. ❤
But why am I tearing up? Your self compassion and the joy you emanate is palpable. I felt my heart burst open. Thank you🥹🥹
Aww thank you sweet friend 🥹🫶🏻
I can't begin to Tell you how excited and happy I get when I see you have uploaded a new video! You are original, talented in a unique and special way! You transcend and speak to all ages! I am 65 and basically a happy, centered person.. you bring back magical times and encourage me to
Read, although I am mostly a paper crafter and cross stitcher. I am so happy you are moving to my side of the country ! I'm on Long Island but love New England and can see you being very happy there! I pray your move is full of happy surprises, cozy nooks and crannies , winding tree lined streets, and an old beautiful book store in your town. I wish you ,Jared and the kitties so much luck peace and adventures unlimited! God bless you both! I can't wait for the next video! 🏡🏡🏡🏡🏡🏡🏡
I’ve watched this channel grow over the years into something so magical. Desi, I see your struggles and your achievements and commend you for keeping us all inspired during such difficult times. That’s not easy, at all. It shows how much you care about your followers/subscribers. To me, this channel brings substance to a very specific need: the need for community and peace. All at once. ♥️
The visuals in this video are stunning! I can’t wait to see what this chapter of your life has in store for you, and thank you for taking us along ❤
Thank you!! 🥹💖
I ran across you one day and felt like I had found a friend. Anne of Green Gables is my favorite book and the 1985 version of the movie is my absolute favorite movie. I started watching some of your videos, especially the room makeover ones as that's something I love. I was an English literature major, so I love books, just like you. I just found out today you had been living in Utah. I knew we were kindred spirits. I lived in Utah for over 15 years. I recently restarted my life in Washington State, back where I was raised as a little girl. I am just coming out of an abusive marriage and I needed to start over somewhere that wasn't tainted by bad memories. I just moved here in April of this year and am putting my life back together piece by piece. You remind me that I want to take time for the romantic me, the soft me, the inner me that has been hidden away by several years of pain. I cried as you talked about saying goodbye to the little place that had brought you so much joy. I understand that feeling too. Thank you for being you Desi. You inspire me.
A fluffy cat laying next to you while reading a book -PERFECTION.
My husband and I lived in New England (specifically Maine) for a year and it totally changed our lives. Our dream is to be able to move back permanently in the next year or two, it is such a special place! Congrats to you on this next chapter!
I live off grid in the northern Maine woods. It’s a dream come true…💕
I'm having Winter Blues and this helped. I can't wait for your Spring & Summer content. Congrats on the move! So exciting!!
I can't wait to see your new home and what you will make of it. Your design and the romantic way you look at life have really helped me in my daily life. I used to think I was silly to look at life like it was a fairy tale and now you have encouraged me these last few years to continue to always do what I want and be who I want to be no matter my age. Life is just too short for anything else. So, thank you Darling Desi for your channel.
By the way, the last part of this video brought tears to my eyes it was so special you shared your time with us. The excitement on your face about reaching your TH-cam goal really touched my heart.
I think it’s magical that I’ve read both Once Upon a Broken Heart and The Ballad of Never After twice and thought “Desi would love it!”. And then I finished Half a Soul last week and also thought about you 🥰 Now I’m gonna get all the cozy books you have in this video ❤️ And thank you for what you do and for who you are 🌼
You always make me want to enjoy life and look for all the little things to be grateful for. That's a gift! Thank you 🧡
You create the most wonderful VIDEO diary and all of us look up for you, get inspired by you💟Have a joyful 2023 with all the surprises it has to reveal to you, Jared, and the furry friends yet😊
We are in two completely different stages of life, but I'm surprised at how much of this video I relate to. I am a stay at home mom of two, one a newborn, and my husband and I just bought a home. It's so easy to get lost in newborn parenthood, I find myself desperately reaching for all the ways to continue to feel like "me" when my current life stage is so wrapped up in my children 24/7. And moving from an apartment that was fine for us as a couple but too small for a family of four has been a surprisingly emotional experience as well. I suspect I will be coming back to this video a lot in the next few weeks or even months.
I just wanted to encourage you... I have 3 kiddos. The oldest is 16 and my youngest is almost 2... I have found, embracing the current "me" sometimes is all I can do, and cherishing the moments that reflect the old me when I get them.... But also... There is a version of the old me and the current me that are always continuing to form the new me.... All the "yous" are beautiful.
You’re doing the most important things, Mama, way to go! These little years a priceless, fast and fleeting time and your work is the most important work there is. Savor it, slow down and simplify-that’s my motto with my 4 littles. ❤
"Sometimes the place we're used to is not the place you truly belong." This resonates so deeply. As much as it felt somewhat sad in a way to recently leave my home state (again), and this time for good, I knew it was a place that we outgrew. New adventures and opportunities were waiting. A calling to trust. Faith is Faith after all. And all the new friends we get to make along the way are such an amazing part of the journey. 💛 So grateful for the new experiences and the wonderful people we have met so far. 🌍
From your aesthetic, to your voice, to your interests, you are such an inspiration. Thank you so much for this
You were born to vlog Desi!! I live for your cinematic videos. So cozy, wholesome and comforting. Such a treat
Omg thank you 😩🥹💖🫶🏻
Perfect start to my morning. Feeling anxious lately but your videos always help me feel calm and grounded. Thank you Desi! 🧡
I am so happy I found your channel. I literally found you when I was going through a rough patch in life. The peace and positivity I get from watching takes my breath away. I'm so excited for your new chapter. Please never stop being you 🤎
What a privilege to watch you blossom over the past few years, Desi. I know how hard it is to leave a place you love, and even though it might feel like it you aren't leaving the memories and lessons learned behind! Thank you from the deepest part of my heart for shining a bit of peace, beauty, and grace into my life. I'm raising my mug of tea, toasting to new adventures!
Your hair turned out absolutely incredible! I'm assuming you didn't record the whole process, since it's hard for me to imagine the hair turning out so perfect for just putting on bleach like this over the whole head just once, without sectioning, doing the mids and ends first to avoid hot roots, plus toning etc.
If your hair did turn out the way it did from only bleaching the whole head together once, then I'm absolutely amazed, because such luck is extremely rare.
Your hair looks gorgeous, you look gorgeous, and thank you for this wonderful video, as well as your wonderful channel ♥️
Haha thank you! I did the mids and ends first, let it process for like 15min and then put the remaining bleach on my roots. I wanted to film more but I kept having to take my gloves off to film and that was difficult 😄 After washing it out I noticed the roots were blonde enough but my mids and ends weren’t, so I just used another box of hair dye on them, washed it out with a purple shampoo and then used a really pigmented purple hair mask and this was the final result! ♥️
@@DarlingDesi Great, the process was definitely worth it, you look amazing))) thanks for the reply, and again, thank you for your lovely channel, I wish you all the best ( ◜‿◝ )♥️
Can't wait to see your new room!
I cannot wait for all the new adventures you will share with us all. Thank you so much for all your beautiful videos. I re-watch them all the time. You're helping me make my life so much better. Sending you lots of love from Michigan. 💗
Okay, that diary and planner was the cutest! I love how you have made your apartment such a HOME. That's something I find myself putting off until it's for the long haul. But I'm realizing how important it is to make a HOME wherever you are. In the here and now. :) Thank you for this video!
We moved from AZ to VA. I love waking it to cardinals singing and going to bed with deer playing on our lawn. Moving was the best gift! I’m excited for your new journey!
Oh this is quite possibly my very favorite video of yours in the 2+ years I’ve been watching & sharing in your life! My heart is bursting at excitement for the next adventure on your life’s journey-I am absolutely thrilled for you, Jared & your precious fur babies! I cannot wait to see how you continue to grow and create the life of your wildest dreams together, day by day, moment by moment. You are a beautiful soul (no matter your hair color!) and it is a joy to see you continuing to grow into your most radiant, wise, authentic self! Cannot WAIT for your next video! ❤
Another beautifully produced video, Desiree! But it’s no surprise because you consistently put so much effort and creativity into all your video content. And I’m so excited for this next chapter in your life, while also being thankful that Utah was good to you all these years. But I’m mainly concerned about your health lately, both physical and mental, and so I’m glad that you’re going to focus on healing in 2023. And it looks like you have some great plans to help you get to where you want to be. Again, I love your work, and I love you! 😊❤️
I spent the first 35 years of my life in New England and although I left 30 years ago and have learned to love Utah, I will always consider New England my home. Wait until you discover the beautiful old architecture with all its history, wonderful antique stores to explore, visits to the shoreline in spring, summer, fall and even winter and fall foliage which is unmatched. I think you will find a lot to love about New England! Safe travels and best wishes for this exciting new start to your new year! Side note: I love the hair! It suits you. ☺️
Why did I cry at the ending, wow. How amazing. So touching to watch a flash back of 3 years, happy for you both
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who burst into tears
This video came up on my recomendations and I am so glad it did. I found such peace in your content on an anxiety filled day, and I can't wait to delve deeper into your videos and join you in your world whilst bringing you into mine. x
We are all rooting and cheering for you and Jared as you transition to the next exciting new chapter of your life! 💕❄🌞
Also, who is the new furry guest? Did you acquire another kitty? Or is this a visitor coming to play with Binx? 🐈🐾
Thank you so much! And the new furry friend is our new kitty! His name is Benedict and he’s a Ragdoll cat. We love him so much and it’s been great for Binx to have a cat to spar with. We specifically got him because he was older than her, so she couldn’t really bully him 😄 He has helped her with learning to play and not biting so hard.
Beautiful new kitty! ❤️
I am 66 years young. I see you also have a 13 year old following you. You see, you cover all the ages! Thank your for your lovely video. I wish you, and your loved man, and your lovely dog and two cats the best life in your new home. Love and Blessings from Devon, England. xxx.
I can’t accurately describe how much warmth and comfort your videos bring me, even in the darkest times. You’re such a treasure. 💕 I wish you all every happiness in New England!
Im so thrilled for you that you got a home by the sea! Can't wait to see the beautiful oasis of creativity, love, and joy you and your family will bring to this new home! I wish you all the happiness and take plenty of time settling in! I know there may be pressure to upload, but wait until you feel settled enough and ready. Don't make the moment about TH-cam, make the moment about moving into a home you love and making it a space that brings joy.
I hope from the bottom of my heart that this year brings you so much joy. Because I feel that you're just on the right path to it. It's so nice to see a fellow human being taking charge of being more than what other people want them to be. You're achieving so much.
I'm 60 and I live in my own little world, I don't watch the news and I don't even allow my cell phone in my kitchen I also dyed my hair and I love your energy and the hair is on point thank you so much for the wonderful videos ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I LOVE THIS WOMAN SO MUCH - i get scarily excited when you post 😭
A new home in New England? That's amazing Desi! I hope the move goes well🥰🤍
Literally, I am crying. I love you Desi. You fill my heart with a plethora of pleasures. You made me extremely happy after so long. I felt happiness which is so rare for me. Stay safe, and stay blessed!
This comes at a perfect time just as I’m also moving to a different city, leaving my childhood town. Thank you for giving me courage for the adventures that are to come. ❤
Yaaaaay! I’m so happy for this new video!! I’m wishing you lots of happiness for this new chapter and I can’t wait to see the magic that you’ll find in your new space and place. ✨
I hope that your move goes smoothly and I'm really looking forward to seeing your new home. You, Jared and your fur babies deserve every happiness and for all of your dreams to come true ❤️
STOP why did the end of this make me cry 😭 Desi, you always make such gorgeous videos and bring such light and love to the world. Wishing your family all the best in your new home! 💕
🥹💖 Thank you so so much Isabel! 💕
Didn’t expect to cry when you said you are moving. So excited for you! I just hope that this channel continues because you have brought me so much joy in the little things and have made me see that every part of the year should be celebrated rather than just waiting for summer and then being disappointed when it’s over. Your excitement for life is so contagious. Thank you for all of the beauty you share 💜
Ugh, definitely cried a little at the end. I know you guys will love New England! That doesn’t mean it’s not hard to leave though. Wishing you luck on this next chapter! 💗
If anyone sees the “congrats you won a prize” comment in reply to my original comment, it’s a scam, please report it. Those “text me on telegram, you won a prize” comments are always a scam unless they are coming directly from the original video poster. You can tell it’s the video poster because their name will be highlighted. And usually TH-camrs don’t comment if you won. If there is an actual giveaway going on, you can look for it in the description of their videos or on the community tab. All rules will be listed there, including how prize winners will be notified.
This was such a lovely video! Thank you for all the much needed life-softening inspiration. I absolutely loved your journaling segment and can completely relate. I’ve been trying to embrace my messier journal style this year and enjoy it in my own way, so I’d love more journaling content if you feel inspired to share it. Wishing you good health and a safe/smooth move to your new place. Looking forward to seeing the next chapter!
I’m so very happy for the big moves happening for you this year, Desi!! As a fellow mountain dweller, one of your “neighbors” in Colorado, I feel the bitter sweetness of your leaving your glorious mountain home. But I also understand the excitement of a new place to create new memories! As a person newly in their 50s and settled into my life, I take such joy in watching you and Jared venturing forward and discovering your bliss!! Thank you for these beautiful videos whenever you can manage to put them out in a busy life, that allow me to live vicariously through them and experience your little joys! Happy 2023!!
You always lift my spirits through your artistry, creativity, joyful living, and amazing aesthetics. I wish you an easy move and a soft landing and a beautiful 2023! Thank you for being amazing.
Beautiful video as always❤️ Your videos mean a lot to me they are definitely a big comfort so I can’t wait to see what you do next. I hope your family has an amazing 2023 you all deserve it💕💕
The aesthetics of this channel are so dreamy!!! Would you be willing to share where you got the library stamp at 5:33 from?
This had me crying, Desi! Praying for you guys in this season of change & SO happy you are pursuing your dreams!!
I teared up, got chills, and couldn't help but smile at the end. It feels like we are on this journey with you. Much love and I can't wait to see you in this new chapter of life.💛Thank you for sharing your heart with us!
I love your content! Really helpful to help with mental health and I absolutely love your positivity it's honestly so lovely to see! Thank you 💕
I definitely teared up at the end. What a beautiful tribute to your Utah home! I can't wait to see your new place. Your videos always bring me great joy. ❤️
I got a little emotional at the end! I'm so glad to have found your channel, it has done wonders for my mental health but also in helping find who I am. I wish you all the best and cannot wait to see what videos you create in your new home ❤️
Thanks for the inspiration. A ton of us are dealing with low self-esteem and depression, so it’s nice to see someone take the initiative and represent someone taking their self-acceptance and happiness in their hands 😊
So beautiful, I can't wait for the next chapter! Moving is overwhelming and exciting at the same time ❤️
This was such a wholesome video!! So grateful for all the love and care you put into each and every one of your videos, it really shows!!
This video was a work of art, with excellent quality; thank you so much! You make it just like it's a whole movie, and I'm so excited that the next one comes out soon; This year has been very intense and emotional for me as well, but thanks to you, I was able to maintain hope and have you tell me that it's okay to not be okay or to be happy with small things, such as the sound of raindrops on the window to help me fall asleep. I'm pretty sure that I could fill an entire pool just with all the tears that I shed during 2022 😂😭... and there's more to come... just like laughs, brand new memories, and sunny days! I'm sorry if there are a lot of mistakes in my writing, I'm not a native speaker😣, but thank you again for being this beautiful and bright person that alights me. ❤❤❤
I can imagine it's hard to leave all that behind. You're lucky to have your videos and you can revisit your memories whenever you want. Living by the sea will be exciting and I'm eager to see your next chapter!
Oh my goodness, I'm getting emotional over here. You've taught me so much, Desi, and I'm looking forward to learning together in your next chapter!
🥹💖🫶🏻 Thank you so much!
✨Congratulations!!✨ *A new home **_by the sea_* sounds amazing for you!! 🌊 ✨🐚
I wish y’all all the best, and I can’t wait for your future videos!! 💙
Congratulations on the move!! I hope everything goes well and we all can't wait to see your new home!! 🏡🌊🕯️
I woke up early this morning to get ready for work and I was able to watch your video! It literally just warmed my heart and made me smile! Recently I've been really overwhelmed and stressed with work and a passing of a great aunt (grandma's sister) and trying to be there and supportive for my grandma and it's just been rough. Your videos are always a breath of fresh air and so lovely! Keep doing what you are doing! You are amazing! I can't wait to see videos of your next adventure! 💓
Thank you for such a beautiful video as usual🧡 I must admit as someone who is recovering from an eating disorder I did get worried when you started talking about your approach to a healthier lifestyle, but I needn’t of worried as you promoted such a healthy view of allowing yourself to have the treats that you want instead of restricting them entirely, so thank you🧡 Good luck in this new chapter, I look forward to seeing where it takes you!!🧡
It made me emotional in so many levels, specially because I used to live in Utah too... But may the next adventure be blessed and exciting as this one was💖
I have been watching your channel for 3 years now. Deapite you being younger than me, you are an inspiration to me. While my life is far from perfect (like everyone else's!), during these past 3 years, I have tried to, in my own unique way and beat suited for me, instill a lot of the suggestions you have had and, as best as I could (again, adjusted for my life and situation) in my life.
Good luck in New England! You and Jared will hopefully be happy there (it's a place I would love to live) and find more of your special kind of Desi magic that will, through your videos, shine through and rub off on all of us! ❤️💖❤️💖
January was such a hard month for me and I was starting to really despair and sit into that gloom. Your videos give me mental clarity and help me to realize that there is beauty in this pain I'm feeling, that life can truly be beautiful even when it feels like it's against you. I'm sat here tonight hot drink in hand watching the beauty of the sunset whilst taking in your video. I wish you blessings for your new home, I can't wait to come on this adventure with you through your videos.
Desi, I really hope you make making videos your long-term career or I don't know what I'll do, haha. I don't think you understand how much you help us in our everyday to keep trying, dreaming, focusing on ourselves and little things in life. Thank you for everything you do ♥️. It's really really appreciated. I wait for every video like it's air!!!
I LOVE YOU DARLING DESI!!😭💕💗 Your videos always make me so happy!!💛
Ahh thank you Hannah!! 💕
I'm so excited for you, Desi! I know that change is hard, but so many beautiful memories and adventures are waiting for you.
As someone that grew up moving from country to country, Anne of Green Gables series especially helped me realized that every new home, every new town, we go to, we make new friends, learn more and discover anew another hidden part of us.
Good luck with moving and can't wait to see your next video!
I always feel like I am wrapped in a hug when I watch your videos!! All my love on your new adventure…I am so excited to see what New England has in store for you and Jared ❤❤
such a beautiful video, and the end feels so nostalgic 🥰 good luck with your new chapter, super excited to see it! ✨️
Congrats on the new adventure to come!! 🙌🏻💕
My daughter and I have always enjoyed your videos but this one was next level!🥰🥰🥰🥰 it was so authentic and vulnerable…cracked my heart wide open! Thank you so much for your raw sharing. It’s what we all need to speak and hear to help with the confusing world we now live in. Thank you Desi, for all that you do! Your videos are a gift to us all! May your move East be filled with much fun and adventure!😃🚙🚙🚙🚙🚚🚚🚚
I love this video so much I just rewatched it twice in a row. Your videos truly heal my soul. And I can’t wait for your next adventure in New England! I hope the energy and nature there aligns better with you and gives you all that you need!
I got so emotional watching this - I’m so excited for your new journey!
Love your new hair colour! I don't watch the news but I do watch calm, inspiring videos like these in the morning
I love that you put a Rules for 2023 into your journal. I just started bullet journaling and was trying to figure out what to add for the year section. I have a word of the year area, and the future log, all of that. But I really love the idea of rules for the year. This is so important to have things to focus on. And Rules are so different than Goals. Goals may or may not be achieved. They are something to aspire to. Rules are more like, listen, you cannot deviate from these things. You WILL follow them! And they are perfect rules, Desi. Love it!
Your videos mean so much to me Desi (as I'm sure they do to many) - always such a source of comfort and inspiration. All the best for this beautiful new season! 🌿
Incredible! Your channel has inspired me to romanticize my life as much as I can to help with my anxiety over the last year. I also would have never known Utah was that beautiful haha. You were born to create content like this and you are so strong for doing so even when feeling under the weather (for the lack of a better term). I'm glad you have your fur babies and Gared and I can't wait to see what the future holds for you guys. Welcome to the east coast from Rhode Island!
Hello Desi! So nice to watch one of your videos again! Sending love! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!! ♥️ Enjoy the video!
You have such a peaceful voice.I have been going through a lot of stress and anxiety. It seems like music and books that use to calm my restless soul have now become items that don't bring me as much joy as they once did. I couldn't help but think that you remind me of Alice in wonderland sitting next to your fireplace reading your book and the cat curled up close. I love fantasy and sci-fi myself and can't wait to turn a whole room into an oasis of books, knitting, and crochet. Have a wonderful week.
Your videos truly touch my heart and even bring me to misty eyes sometimes. I love that you're prioritizing yourself and recognizing that the only person you are accountable to is you. That speaks to me deeply. I like that you included past clips, so sentimental and nostalgic. 🥰 Best of luck to you and your hubby on the big move! I'm cheering you both on from the green but not as pretty city of Houston, TX.
I can already tell this is gonna be a video I watch over and over again
That warms my heart 🥹♥️
