☀️ Hello sweet friends! ☀️
To give you a little backstory on this video, I started filming it the week of the summer solstice (it felt like the perfect way to kick off summer). I had the most amazing few days of beachy mornings, breakfasts outside, making my summer bucketlist and favorite lemonade recipe, all the summery things. I was so excited to get this video to you guys because I think it's one of my new favorites. I had so much fun editing this, to the point where it continually was evolving into something different than I had planned. I'd spend one day editing and liked how it was going and then the next morning wake up and start over from scratch because it just wasn't what I wanted it to be. After many days in my editing dungeon I feel like it's finally ready to share. I hope it brings you a little bit of summer happiness 😊 My apologizes for taking so long to get it to you, but I hope you still enjoy it nonetheless.
XO,
Desi

My two kids and I watch your videos every night before they go to bed. The 4-year-old says "Can we watch our girl?" They will be so excited for a new one.
Oh my gosh, that just melts my heart 🥹 I hope they enjoy this one!
Aw pet!
Awn i wish darling desi was my childhood memories before bed! That is soo cute 😍
@@MarianneLandry yeah!
That is so sweet!
Desi, can I just say… you saved my life. As a person with severe depression and suicidal ideation, watching your videos made me see the beauty and wonder in the world again. Thank you for everything you do 🧡
I’m so happy to know that my videos have helped, even in just the smallest way. Thank you so much for sharing. I’m sending you the biggest virtual hug! 💖 Please remember how strong you are and how loved you! 🫶🏻
@@sabrinagilmore oh shit no! I’m so glad she can do that for ya
The world needs the special thing that only you can bring to it. Don't let anything ever convince you otherwise. ❤️❤️❤️
@@flaxandfibrefarmhousewell said!
Sabrina, I've struggled with that as well, so I understand, and I also can see how our girl Darling Desi can really lift our spirits with her unbridled joy, beautiful scenery, and fun stories. Sending you so much love and comfort, and let's look for the beauty and sunshine wherever we can, eh? Mwah!
She really did find her soulmate in Jared. Their love and connection is palpable through the screen. Gives me hope ❤️
I agree its so beautiful
It's so inspiring
Sometimes i feel so alone in the whole world and i watch a video from desi in which she always calls us friends multiple times and then i don't feel that lonely anymore.
🥹🫶🏻
I try not to feel lonely because I'm the only one that no one cares about in the slightest. No one would even blink if I was gone.
@@ichoosejoy2712it’s hard to feel noticed some times but even if you don’t always feel it your presence is of value, your sunshine in someone’s day. Hang in there dude, take it one step at a time ❤
@@róisíns Thank you for actually being someone who shows true humanity and empathy. If people were more kind the world would be a much better place.
Hi, whats your name? Ill think and pray for you❤@@ichoosejoy2712
Our generation's obsession with our inner child and overall childhood renaissance is probably the best thing we could've done to ourselves. I love that we embrace the question: "wait. why did we stop being children?" (apart from the obvious reasons or course...)
Totally agree!! 😊
I love that Jared gets to experience life with you. I feel like you have brought out a childlike joy and freedom he wouldn't get to experience in most relationships. He is free to be silly and goofy and have fun with you. Whether thats natural in him or not, you give him the space to let his inner child out and give him the wheel. Its very refreshing and wholesome to watch. I wish more men got to be boys like this
As someone who lives in Rhode Island, I can attest that summers here are unlike anything else ☺️
They really are!!! 🥹
I'm a Texas girl and summers are brutal.. I'm thinking I should visit New England in summer
They sound heavenly! It's so humid in the south right now! 😅
I'm a New England Girl...born and raised!!! You do us proud!!! Sending love and gratitude to you from Massachusetts. 🥰💖💕
Aww thank you!! I’m so glad! I feel like I’ve been accepted into the new england club 🥹
@@DarlingDesi 🥰❤️😘
Born & raised in MA. Love your videos. Now I live in NY but visit home every chance I can.
CT lady here! You are definitely in the New England club for life now, no matter where you go! ❤😊
As someone who’s on their own mental health journey and learning to romanticize my life, I find your videos so peaceful and inspiring. I always catch myself smiling. Thank you for sharing light and joy!
Don’t get me wrong, I’m ready for fall 🍁 but thank you for reminding me to keep romanticizing summer while it’s still here 🩵
I'm so glad that you are sticking to creating these summer videos and not rushing into a season that isn't here yet. It's a peaceful slow living we need right now. I loved this video and I am so looking forward to summer diaries of 2024! Love Shelle! 🌷🐚
Exactly. Summer is my favorite season, I don't want to rush into fall anytime before October. I want to appreciate every bit of summer while it's here.
Yes! I so agree!
The bit where you and Jared and dancing at the shore is such an ideal 😭💗🎀
I literally just typed myself a note to "GO BACK AND WATCH DESI SUMMER VIDEOS". I need inspiration for summer-y activities and motivation to move past the summer blah-blahs. (totes a Fall child here). So Wild! I can't wait!
Oh Desi! Every video you post has me questioning the way I live my life, my attitude towards life and the way me and my husband treat each other and what we are like with our daughter. I've recently been stuck in a cycle, in a head space which has been so negative and toxic that your videos come along and remind me of all the rays of sunshine out there and I should be focusing on them rather than all these storm clouds! You're soul is beautiful 🥰 xxx
“I’m just so happy to be alive!”
YES!!! Let’s ALL feel this way everyday!!! ❤❤❤❤
I have never been a huge fan of summer but watching your summer content really makes me see the season in a different light. Thank you Desi! 💕
That is a huge part of the reason as to why I make these videos 🥹🫶🏻
That chemical in rainy soil is perhaps geosin. Or maybe the smell of petrichor. If someone could make a perfume that smelled like that and lemons and ocean breeze, pineapple and coconut, that would be the most perfect summer perfume in the world. I’m all about seasonal scents 🤩🤩🤩
As a girlie in the 103 degree Utah weather, I’m hiding inside pretending I’m in a cooler coastal town like you 😂
We’re actually in Utah right now for the rest of the summer so I totally get you with this 103 degree heat! Our plan is to head up to the mountains this weekend to swim and do a waterfall hike! ☺️
103 😱 у нас в Сибири сегодня +30 и я плавлюсь от жары!🫠
LOVED THE ENDING!!! I loved the whole film (because that’s what your videos are, very creatively done mini films) but that ending, with how you did the music, and you and Jared were dancing on the beach, and the angle. Perfection! I’ll definitely be adding this production to my list of favorite summer rom-com films!🥹☺️😍
Aww thank you!! I’m glad you liked the ending. It was my personal favorite part 🥰
YES I second this!!!
I just wanted to say I'm so glad my sister and I aren't the only ones who appreciate the sunshine looking different in different seasons! You saying that put the biggest smile on my face 😊
Hi! Another mom her who watches your videos with her kids lol
I just want to say that although I don't get to romanticize my life the way you do, your videos often give me inspiration for how to make some beautiful core memories with my kids. Last night we went to a community band concert for kids in our town where the kids were marching around with balloons and glow sticks (okay some of us grownups joined in too😅). And today we saw a circus and had ice cream after. Now we're cooling off in our little pool. And because I got to watch your video before any of that awesome stuff happened, none of it felt like a "should do" or "have to" (because let's be real, with kids it's often a ton of work to make fun things happen), but instead everything felt like a fun adventure! You really changed my mindset to "I GET TO do this awesome stuff with my kids"
So thank you so much, from one tired but hopeful mama❤
You’ve got this, mama, you’re doing great.
The heat always kills me and as a major fall cold weather person I absolutely need this video to help me cope especially with this extreme heat, thank you Desi.
i love watching your videos. It is like watching a modern Anne of green Gables. It is so wholesome to see how much you love life and the small things in it. thank you so much for everything you do
Ok. My favorite part was the end-your husband joining you in your whimsy…dancing, prancing, embracing. So sweet 🥹
Can't wait. I've been staying in a hotel for the past two days due to hurricane Beryl and this is exactly what I need to lift my spirits!
Oh no, please stay safe! That is so scary. Sending all the positive vibes your way! ❤
@@DarlingDesi Thank you so much, Desi! We're safe at home now and both power and water have been restored. ❤️
My 4 year old son and I literally count down to your next videos! He's always asking, "Can we watch Desi?" Thank you for being pure magic. We adore you! Happy Summer!
when you were talking about fairies and how you feel cleansed/better after it rains and or when you spend time in nature, i related to it so much ! as someone in their mid 20s who still has a childlike wonder and tries to foster it despite what the world says, it always feels so refreshing to see you doing the same !
There are not many CZcamsrs whose videos make me get up and act like your videos do! I made a bucket list, got a disposable camera, and added my own twist: summer scented lotion, perfume, and candles from BBW. I’m feeling the magic of summer like I never have before. I’m such a fall girly and often feel like the summer is just the in between, but I want to enjoy it as much as fall, and I’m falling in love with your channel and videos that are helping me to fully embrace the season. Thank you! 🥹🥹
This summer is a big one for me going into junior year of high school. These videos remind me it’s okay to just enjoy life sometimes and not worry about responsibilities for a little while ❤️
Dear Ate Desi,
this might sound weird, but I really think you would have been my best friend if only we got to meet in some other universe. There is a lot of myself that i see in you. The eye for adventure and childhood innocence. Although, I'm not as brave to show that to the world as you have. Seeing your videos gives me a sense of comfort, and belongingness. Just know that you have a friend in this world although we may never meet, I'm out here always checking up on your next creation. I am wishing you happiness and Good health. All the love from the Philippines 💌
I LOVE HOW SHE PRODCUDES HER VIDEOS
Wow Desi, this is a work of ART. I have goosebumps! I feel like watching this all over again! You put so much hard work and effort into this and it shows!!! 🌊🍃
Oh my goodness thank you 😭🫶🏻 that means so much to me!
Please , please, do your research before recommending Better Help. They are not the champions of affordable mental healthcare they pretend to be.
People have said it so much maybe these youtubers don't care and it's breaking my heart 💔 makes them not seem so genuine i dont want Desi to be one of them so I hope she listens
I know one of the original creators of the app. They literally use your data from your therapy sessions and sell it - that’s how they make their money. Then your data of complaining about your life is used to sell you shit. Pretty genius honestly!
Yes! I saw a counselor in person and she even said it’s not helpful
I love how joyful and adorable you are! I really needed this video. I've spent the week working from home in 90 degree weather with no AC, cursing the summer the whole time. Thank you for the inspiration to actively choose to enjoy summer
I’m in the UK and our summer is very lacking (again!) so living vicariously through your videos 😊
Nooooo, take some of this 100 degree heat (i’m currently in Utah for the rest of the summer) we’ll gladly share it 😄
@@DarlingDesi In the UK we'd GLADLY take it.
You are just.. ugh. The sweetest. We live in an apartment and I really want to be able to ground every day too. You’re inspiring me to get out and just like find a new grassy area everyday with my kids. I know you have health stuff you struggle with, so this is very inspiring. Keep it up! ❤
I’m trying to fall in love with summer ☀️this Season is testing me
I’m sorry you’re going through stuff right now 🙁 Sending you all the summery positivity! You got this! 💪🏻
Desi, you have brought so much light into my life, and I cannot thank you enough for it. Your videos bring so much joy to people. Thank you and Jared for sharing a little bit of your lives with us. ❤
Your husband is so adorable. I love how he joins you on joyous little things and dances around with you.
A Rhode Island girl here! Desi, you captured an ocean state summer beautifully! ⚓️
It makes me happy seeing you so happy. I know this feeling of being so happy for being alive. Have a great summer. Greetings from Germany 🌺
I have to say, Im not a book reader whatsoever, but I watch our videos only to make me try to appreciate life. You find gratitude and joy in everything. You put me in a good mood when Im feeling down. Stay happy. Love your fall videos. My favourite season.
Hey Desi! I just wanted to say that no matter how many vlogs I've seen from different people and different channels, yours is by far my favorite. Your style of documenting the beauty of life just feels like home. ❤
My favorite part of summer is laying in the grass under the shade of a tree while the wind softly blows and the sunshine dances through the leaves.
„I‘m just so happy to be alive“
This is the state I want to be at some day. Your videos help me to find more positivity every day, so thank you!❤️
I’m so happy to see that you are doing better and better and that your mental health is going up 🩷 I remember watching your videos years ago and you were still struggling at times, and it makes me so happy to see that you are doing so much better 🌸✨ You are doing amazing, so proud of you Desi 🫶🏼🦋💜
If anyone wants an old classic summer movie "on Golden pond" is my favourite recently, it has skinny dipping and boat rides and fishing (and jane fonda)
You can’t even imagine how much I needed this right now🥲💐
I hope you'll enjoy it 🥹
This was beautiful Desi. As a long-time subscriber, I love hearing you talk about the noticing because I firmly believe The Noticing is what life is all about.
Its winter where i live atm, but thanks to your winter and fall videos I've been totally fine this winter when usually seasonal depression clutches me tight. This video made me simultaneously happy that you guys are getting the lovely warm weather, and longing for the summer air myself. Enjoy your magical summer!
14:30 🌎 Grounding/Earthing. Yes!!! I believe there is something to being in contact with the Earth as well, as everything has a frequency, and the frequency from the ground is healing for our bodies. I try to get outside and walk barefoot every day as well, and I have definitely been feeling better since doing this! It might take a while to notice a difference, so hang in there for everybody who may be new to this! ❤
Desi, I absolutely adore your videos. Your channel has brought me so much joy in times when I felt like that was impossible. And because of the fact that I care so much about this beautiful community you've created, I really want to encourage you to look more into BetterHelp, and reconsider partnering with them. They are not a good company, and while I'm so glad if they have improved your life, they have also simultaneously ruined so many other peoples. The ethics of their company is not good. So please, look farther into them and their practices
I really like how you layered your candid voice over different shots. It felt like a little documentary.
“Cleaned my brain like it was a dirty dish” I totally resonate with that feeling when you’re out in nature! Love that. Thanks for another amazing video! ❤
Desi, you bring me so much inspiration to enjoy my life! Thanks for being such a light ❤
That warms my heart 🥹🫶🏻 Thank you so much for saying that!
Even though I am really not a summer girlie myself, I still very much enjoyed this video ☺☀
Your joy is super infectious and I love your way of thinking! 💖
"I'm gonna have rose colored glasses on the entire time and romanticize every bit of it because life is just too short to do otherwise." AMEN TO THAT!! 🙌✨
The sequence around 14:40 really resonated with me, as I also imagine such things as faeries living among us, and I can totally picture them coming out to play on the wind 🌳🍃🧚♀
Thank you for being unapologetically you, for showing us all how wonderful life can be if we dare to let ourselves be free and embrace our inner child 💖
Oh my gosh desi! Your videos make me cry with joy and nostalgia!😩🥰☀️
People could learn so much from the way you view life, please never change. I was having such a scary bad night and this is just what I needed that escape from life to appreciate how you live your life in beautiful magical ways
This video is everything 😭🫶🏼. The atmosphere of it is so magic! And I love that Nicholas Sparks idea, love his books and movies!
Also, for me, the best summer song is “On my way” at the end of the movie Matilda. That montage with her and Miss Honey always gives me those same magical vibes as your videos 😄
Just when I was missing YOU, Desi❤ I clicked on your channel to make sure I hadn’t missed a single video and here is another one that I’m sure is going to touch me to my CORE❤ I love having a bosom friend aka soul sister online, even near me in New England🫶 gosh, I hope we bump into each others someday at a library or a cute lil cafe. You’ll know me right away, I’m a hipster dressed Mama, with 3 cute lil blondies. Each one will have a dirty face and a big Ol’ smile cause they watch all your videos with me and know EXACTLY who you are❤ much love from the little long cabin in the woods of Maine 😘😘
Absolutely thrilling! I don’t know how your videos get better and better every time, this was just what I needed! ❤
The rest of the year you dig in and work. But summer, hobbies and sports and trips. Already saving for next year. Can't wait to see you at Christmas
I don't get along with the summer heat anymore, is too much for my body, and where i live there are no beaches around. I love autumn more than i can say, and this summer, with a few exceptions, felt like autumn - temperatures under 20 Celsius, torrential rains, storms. But seeing this video, and others from all the past years, i feel extremely nostalgic. I remember all the summer camps, hiking in the mountains with the tent, vacations at the sea. And all the memories have indeed this retro to vintage filter, a special light which can be seen only in summer evenings. Regardless of where we are, how warm it is, is the feeling that stays with us for the rest of our lives. And like autumn, like any other season, summer have magic in it also. A lot. Only to remember it, to give ourselves permission to feel again. Thank you for these beautiful reminders!♥♥♥
So funny that now that you live in a coastal town you’ve fallen in love with summer! I live on an island and summer has always been my favorite season. When I started watching CZcams I found all of these women’s channels and they were all obsessed with the fall and I was like “wut?” Loving fall had literally never occurred to me. It must be because fall is more beautiful in other areas of the country. Summer is amazing where I live on the ocean but fall can be kind of blah. I’ve learned to appreciate fall more now, partly through your channel! 😂 but I guess it makes all the difference where you live!
I loved that Jared picked the Beach Boys as his summer sound! I completely agree!!
Hi! Lifelong Rhode Islander here! You've captured such beautiful parts of Summer here. I feel like RI comes alive in Summer ❤
Your videos motivated me soooo much🌸
Thank you for being such an inspiration to all of us💕
Thank YOU for watching! It makes me so so so happy that you enjoy them ❤
Patiently waiting for those summer vibes🐚☀️ your videos always bring me the most calming feelings and the biggest excitement for the beauty of the seasons! Your channel is one of my favourite happy places🩷
You have no idea how happy that makes me 🥹 Thank you for being here! I’m so glad you like the videos 🥰🫶🏻
I smiled and cried at the same time while watching this. It‘s so beautiful to see how the smallest things make you happy and how you really try to get the most out of life. Always an inspiration. Keep living life like this, Desi, you‘re doing it right 🤍
Every time you post me and my mum make a brew with snacks, your videos are truly magical thank you x🌸💗
I love envisioning that 🥹 That makes me so happy!
@@DarlingDesi 💗💗
That is so sweet! 💕
@@margaretforsey7763 thank you!!🌸
Thanks for the fun summer video. I am now writing up my bucket list. Sadly due my age and arthritis, there are many things I cannot do anymore (no dancing on the beach for me), but I can make lemonade, do a virtual hike, make summer cards and press flowers and of course create a summer themed playlist on Spotify.
This is the exact change of perspective I needed :’) ✨ As a fall girly who’s just been hating summer and my existence during it, you’ve helped me embrace it ❤ and bring back a piece of childhood
Thank you for posting these videos. They have brought such joy into this dark year. Your joy brings me joy
Thanks Desi, I really needed that video today. Its a rough season of life right now and this made it feel a little less heavy xx
The way she said her own hair is so beautiful is so precious and it’s a goal to be that self loving. ❤
Me watching this wrapped in a blanket because it’s so cold here in Ireland 😅 Living summer vicariously through Desi ☀️
That dancing in the moonlight scene might be my favorite thing ever on CZcams! Thanks for the great reminder to get outside and experience new things. And I totally agree about walking barefoot after it rains...maybe it loosens the ground and lets more magic through!😊❤
You and Jared together make me so happy. Your love is beautiful. ❤
Your videos truly have the power to change someone’s day around completely! I was in a bad mood right before watching this and after it, I realized that the thing I was sulking over is just so trivial. I have a life to live! And it can be so beautiful if I choose to make it that way! Thanks for the reminder Desi and hope you have a wonderful summer! ❤❤❤
I can’t wait for your fall videos! 🍂
shhhh not yet 🤫👀😄🫶🏻
I’m super excited about this one! ☺️ Can hardly wait to see what you share about your latest summer vibe ideas, thoughts and experiences. ☀️❤️
Awww thank you for being here!!! I hope you'll enjoy it!!
No matter what kind of day I’m having, if I just put on one of Desi’s videos, it brings me this sense of comfort and helps me to look at the world through a more brighter, romanticized perspective. She truly helps my inner child feel happy :)
Yay, I can't wait for it! 😄 I _simply love_ your channel, Desi! 🌷🌷🌷🌼🌼🌼🌻🌻🌻🌞🌞🌞
There's nothing like summers in New England-used to spend my summers in Maine as a camp counselor. I'm in Ohio now but still get a little taste of it, although it's unseasonably hot this year. It truly doesn't take much money to enjoy the beauty of our seasons.
thank you for making me appreciate the summer season more ♡♡
Such a beautiful contrast to all the negativity on the internet. ❤
Wow! Rhode Island is so lovely. You are fortunate to be there and be so free spirited…so easy for you to pick up and just go!
Alright, you’ve convinced me to go out for a beach day today, thanks Desi ❤
Yay!!! Mission accomplished 💪🏻 I hope you have the best time!
Thank you for including the wind and rain in your video so us brits don't feel left out!
I discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago and I love it so much. Thank you for this video, it literally made me want to cry with how much I loved it. Its made me feel even more excited for summer! I live in the uk and work in a school and we just finished for the summer holiday, so I can now finally, properly start my summer and this video inspire me so much🌸
Thank you for this video! I love all your videos, but your Summer series are extra special for me! Summer is the only season where I can go out because I live in a cold area with long winters and not many events (even in the Summer). This video is so helpful! I LIVE for Summer. The rest of the seasons here are very depressing.
the end scene 🥲 so envious
This was just so beautiful Desi! I could feel all the love you put into it. The ending was magical! Thank you for always cheering me up and reminding me how beautiful life really is. Love you Desi! 🩷
I do a cabin trip every year with my friends from high school and we usually rent a place in Wisconsin. This weekend whenever I felt a breeze I thought to myself “this wind is so healing”. I didn’t appreciate before how amazing it feels! 😍
Your videos Remember me that the world can be magical. This year it was filled with networking, making connections, taking chances and taking big adult decisions. I don't think I will be actually able to "rest" this sunmer, I really can not afford it, and even id I'm happy that things are finally happening in my working life, am so overwelmet by it. It's very hard feeling the heavy weigh of an adult life. You bring me joy and the hope that all this hard work will make sense one day. It's so important to not forget the every- day magic.Thank you, Daisy for making me not forget it.
There’s no season I love more than summer. I thought as an adult I would not like it as much because I have to work during the hottest months, but honestly even then my mood is better because I know that on the weekend I can go to the beach 🏖️
I live in Greece so summer here is truly magical ✨
Your videos are like a beautiful, cosy film. Thank you for your work.💗💗💗
It's time to make the best of it now! It's so crazy here. School starts Aug 7th so it's like Summer for us is the next 3-4 weeks and then that's it!
Definitely time to make the best of it!! It goes by too fast! ☀️
Water reionizes you- so yes, rain on the ground can help re-energize you!
