6AM Beach Cottage Morning Routine ☀️ slow & peaceful

[@humansizedlife]

The messages at the end caught me delightfully by surprise: we can enjoy pretty videos, romanticise life, AND acknowledge the unromantic messiness of much of it, because that's just how real life is. After a rough week, that (and the message after it) is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you for sharing your unabashed joy.

[@daniqsaa]

I often think this too! Life is always gonna be life, so what's wrong with putting some energy in making it a bit more enjoyable for us?

[@hellykay]

I'm in tears after the message in the end. And I didn't feel like I was going to be, but somehow saying nice things even to yourself can make you emotional. I hope I remember to be good to myself as well as others.

[@fairyfarms]

made me tear up a little

[@Em_284]

I know on Instagram you mentioned that you always feel nervous that we won’t like a video when you upload it, but I swear you have nothing to worry about!!!! Your videos are honestly so refreshing and magical!! Love the new camera by the way🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@DarlingDesi]

I feel like a student giving a presentation to a class of a hundred thousand of my peers every time I upload 🙈💗 Thank you so much for the love and support and reminder! 💕

[@elizabethfigarelli7599]

Yes!! I love your videos no matter the topic or quality! ❤️❤️❤️ On top of your quality is always amazing! ❤️

[@EveryFurtherMile]

Yes to this!! I love absolutely every one of your videos, Desi, and never have a doubt in my mind that I will love the next one I see. This may feel like added pressure...lol...but really it's because I have grown to appreciate you as a person that feels almost like a friend. You have a talent for putting together a beautiful story about your life that is incredibly inspiring. I'm very grateful for you and the work you do here on KZbin.

[@julialovesgfriend]

@@DarlingDesi i love all of your videos, and I somehow like you more with every new video I watch !! thank you so much for these videos Desi, I’m so glad I found you

[@Em_284]

@@EveryFurtherMile YES!!! I love what you said about her being like a friend!! I feel like she is honestly one of my best friends!!! She’s the best at making people feel right at home on her channel!!

Did anyone else get a little tingle down their spine when they read “stay tuned for autumn content coming soon”? Gosh! Desi MADE my Autumn last year and I can’t wait for what she has in store next! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@geenagr]

I felt sadness. We don't get autumn weather until October here in Greece. Until then I'll be baking in this heat. Sigh

Yay!!!!!!!

You and Jared dancing on the front porch it reminds me of that scene in Little Women when Jo and Laurie are dancing outside the ball trying not to be scene through the windows

[@emmawilson7764]

Please please make another video like this this summer! I watch this one again and again to get the summer vibes, I was a little sad that all your summer videos this year were “pretending it’s fall when it’s summer” :( But I love this video so much 🌊☀️🏝️

[@cynthiahernandez2667]

Idk how I just found you this year, I’m binge watching ALL your videos! I want to say, THANK YOU!!! Seeing how you live your daily life and how you appreciate the small moments in life gives me so much guidance as I struggle thru mental health myself, guidance to enjoy the little things. I too love all the things you love, books, spring, flowy dresses, nature, reading outdoors, just everything! I truly see now this is indeed a place for kindred spirits and I’m so blessed to have found you when I needed this community the most! Sending love and hugs from SoCal! 💕💕💕

[@emilyclark8772]

The ending message made me laugh and then burst into tears. Thank you for the positive affirmations. This is a really rough time for me and my anxiety and you really struck a chord for me. I’m so glad you enjoyed your time! Keep making these videos as long as they make you happy!

[@beadc7627]

Desi, your videos are like no one else's. In an age of faster, faster, faster, you capture peace and quietude, relaxation and the magic of life in videos. You are so gifted and watching your videos floods me with peace and serenity every single time. Thank you so much for that

[@victoriaspaintingswithalit9086]

Jarred and you are the most adorable couple I've ever seen! You guys are so kind to each other it makes my heart feel warm!😊😊❤️

[@TheVioletMaze]

I truly love how you romanticize the seasons. I get stuck in the daily routine of life and often forget to do something enjoyable with my family or for myself. You are such an inspiration Desi!

[@godslittlestidiot2984]

I dont live in a beach cottage, but I do live 5 minutes away from the beach and its honestly so wonderful here even in winter- even snow on the sand is pretty

[@cristinacojocaru1119]

it's like straight out of a movie, so beautiful! you're super good at making beautiful videos!!

Im very content of have found you, i was search for a vídeo for learn english, but i out with my mind tranquility and full of love for live, thanks for me convey this.

[@joanna.ruth_h]

this video is the inspiration for my summer this year ☀️ ever since i watched this video when it first came out last summer, i've repeated those affirmations to myself every morning throughout the year, and, desi, you have no idea how much they have helped me on the tough days when i can hardly get out of bed! thank you, kindred spirit 🫶🏼

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Yay this is a perfect way to spend my morning, watching Desi with a cup of coffee 🥰

[@DarlingDesi]

Awww Gav! 🥹💕 I’m HONORED to be included in your morning 🫶🏻

[@amydale2651]

I’m reading ‘Anne’s House of Dreams’ at the moment and the vibes of this video reminded me of that. I’ve been kind of lost lately and this year has been a rollercoaster but this video made me smile. It was lovely

[@paulas7414]

I haven‘t read „Anne‘s house of dreams“ in a while, but I think I am gonna pick it up today! Thanks for reminding me of the wonderful vibes the book has:) I hope your rollercoaster goes up, soon. Take care

[@leoniejosette5145]

14:54, Desi, I don't know what to say... living a life of depression for me currently struggling and just being down wondering where I want to go with my Life, what I want to do, and just figuring thing's out, I always come to your Videos because they make me feel so comforted and when you post words like this, and make relaxing videos these are my favourites from you, like aesthetic visuals to make you feel good about yourself! Please do more like this, it makes me and others feel good about themselves and just take time out for such a peaceful video and watching these makes you feel more gratitude. xxx

[@soggycardboard1393]

I actually really love the fact you put that disclaimer at the end of the video to state this isn't the norm for you and how your mornings can be just as unproductive or chaotic as everyone elses

[@user-wi8fr9ee7u]

And this is proof that living and being able to go to places is a privilege.

[@CoriesaysrelaxASMR]

Hi Desi! I promise you don't have to worry about us liking your videos, we will always like them! It is your essence, your contagious joy, your love for beautiful and small things and your honesty that we like the most about you, and that is conveyed by you being who you are 🥰

[@sissymav3243]

Seeing Desi hearing the cicadas,collecting sea shells and walking into the market with wet hair 😍 its literally me during summer Lots of love from Greece !

[@LilliSkog]

So dreamy! Makes me want to live in a beach house surrounded by the song of seagulls and the breeze of the ocean 💕 Oh wait... I almost do! It`s just colder 😅

[@carleypitchford]

I'm only seven minutes in, but I'm overjoyed for you! I'm so happy you had such a wonderful vacation! It truly looks like a dream! I hope you can go back one day. All of your videos bring me a sense of calm and serenity because you give off the most wonderful vibes, but this video brought me joy because it brought YOU joy! Thank you for sharing a little piece of yourself with all of us! 💖

[@DarlingDesi]

Aww Carley thank you for saying that 🥹💗 The vacation truly was amazing. And i’m so glad you’ve enjoyed this little glimpse into my time there 💗

[@boglitt6918]

Desi, you have absolutely no reason to feel nervous when uploading. I think I’m speaking for all of us when I tell you that your videos are breaths of fresh air ♥️ sunshine in video form. You’re wonderful, and so are your videos. Always ♥️☀️

[@carolelepilleur4789]

Love your message at the end of your video and I wish more people would get the chance to read it !❤

[@gracens5548]

We moved to an East coast beach last year & if anyone wonders if living at the beach makes it lose any of it's magic...it does not😊 So glad you had a beautiful time. Ps. Loved seeing you all play cards & dance..what a special interaction you all have.

[@katieo3421]

DESI!!! 😭 this was absolutely gorgeous, pure magic! I’m so happy and you Jared got to have such a special vacation this summer. And I loved your text slides at the end too, the affirmations made me 🥺 you’re such a bright spot in the world Desi, and I’m so grateful to you for sharing your content and your life, the ups and the downs. So so much love to you!!! 💜

[@susannathompson7597]

I just found you recently. Love this, I live by the beach and take it for granted. I’m heading there today and getting outside after watching this ❤

[@SarandipityStudios]

The end message is so important, thanks for the honesty. So many people get so sad seeing these videos where everything is perfect and they forget they are the highlights of the best moments. Glad you enjoyed your trip!! x

[@cindyurban150]

Desi, This was so beautiful ! That is my dream house, a little cottage by the sea. Thank you for taking us with you !

[@lucilasandoval3084]

I love that you always mention that not all mornings/life in general is as aesthetic, but I do feel extremely calm when watching your videos.

[@MossStoneStoryVintage]

Such a beautiful video! Where the Crawdads Sing is a new favorite for me as well. When my daughter was little, she would often say the sun is sizzling when the cicadas make noise. It made sense. Lol! They love the heat of the sun. What a beautiful trip to capture in such a stunning way!

[@anafernandez8056]

Who else cried at the end????? i truly love this, those last words made my day, thank you desi

[@dollswithhistory3643]

Thank you so much for posting this! My husband and I just moved to Wilmington from Pennsylvania. All the moving stuff (documents, car, storage pods, Uhaul, etc.) has been so stressful that he frequently reminds me to log out of work and enjoy the beach. I'm a reporter and writer. I had a week full of murders and deadly car crashes. Then I found out three people I love were hospitalized. It hit me so hard. I logged out and into KZbin to find your beautiful aesthetically pleasing video. I got less than 10 seconds in and remembered, "life is short, so is summer, I should go to the beach." One book later (I just read True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle for the first time), a bag of shells, a bicycle ride, a picnic, kite flying, watching the surfers, swimming, chatting with the fisherman (Kure beach pier) and I felt better. I came home and have watched a little bit of this over a few days (literally 30 seconds, then blast music or an audiobook while I unpack, write, or head back to the beach). It puts me in such a better mental place. Thank you. I hope you loved Wilmington, thanks for reminding me why I moved here

[@jessfinch404]

I love the paragraph in the end. It allows us the audience to know you aren't perfect and are only human with human problems like us. Allowing us to feel relatable to you and wanting us to come back for more of your videos. You are amazing and I can't thank you enough for truly inspiring us to go out and experience the world. To allow us to see another world as well just in case some of us are not fortunate to go experience it ourselves. Thank you again Desi for being your true self and allowing us to join you on your special moments you experience.

[@jacknorman7096]

The amount of joy and replenishment i get from consuming your content is unbelievably magical. I am so grateful for you and your channel, as well as being blessed with autumnal content soon!!

[@authorannettepalmer]

Where The Crawdads Sing was such a magical book. I loved watching you embrace the Kya inside you. I feel like a part of her lives in all of us. We just have to feel her and embrace those special moments when she comes out in all of us.

[@lucienight6462]

Your videos are truly a source of confort for me, thank you so much for showing us that joy can be found in every moment of our days, even the most common and simplest ones. This past weeks have been really stressful for me, I'm back at my parent's for the summer, and while I had longed for this summer so long during the year, I am finding myself burried under the family problems. I needed someone to remind me that sparkles can still be found, and that I can look for solace in the little things. Thank you again for the positivity you bring in our lives.

[@cxzybee782]

the last clips of you and Jared together were absolutely beautiful, thank you for sharing these moments of your life. They make my days better

[@emilyboo4381]

That message at the end, got me right in the heart. I wasn’t ready for that and yet it was the exact reminder I needed at the right time that perhaps I am enough. Love to all of you 💕 these videos breath so much life into me

[@karolineoliveira3531]

I love you so much! Thank you for the message at the end of the video, it almost made me cry. I don't know how to explain what I feel when I watch your videos, but I know that it saves me every time. I am from Brazil and since I found your channel I've been happier. Today I caught myself thinking about when we get older, I will still be here, watching your channel, like an old friend. Thank you for making my life brighter. Even though we don't know each other, you're my kindred spirit. I will never forget you.

[@Thebes17]

Idk why...but this whole video made me emotional and then you hit me with the affirmations? You have done it again 💜💜 you made me cry, smile, and to see the magic in the world even when its too foggy at times to see.

[@firesideclassics]

Dear Desi, I want to thank you for reminding me of some of my happiest childhood memories, on the beaches in the Carolina's on vacation with my family. This video is precious, as are you and Jared, and thank you so much for sharing these special moments in your life with me and all of us. You truly are a Darling. :)

[@MickeyMacks1]

Oh my heart! The adorable last few moments of you and Jared playing and laughing on the porch with that sweet music - perfect!

[@biblio.belle2224]

I almost cried at the end because of your sweet and thoughtful messages at the end! This video was so uplifting and inspiring. I’m glad you both got to rest and recharge at such a beautiful and restful place 😊💜🌊

[@amybennett1530]

So I'm old enough to be your mother, but can I just say you're an inspiring young woman. I've been watching your videos taking book recommendations and a few decorating tips. We don't have to be perfect. No one expects you to be perfect or have a perfect video. You are doing wonderful love the bloopers LOL you're very real and for that reason we all love you. I love the message at the end and even though I've got a few years on you I think we all (no matter how old or young) need to remember that we are enough. Thank you and you look absolutely beautiful. 💚

[@minabluebirds]

This was beautiful as always, but the last bit of it, the reminder and the affirmations, added even more beauty, made it feel so whole and complete and honest. Thank you for this video. You are incredibly talented! Hope you have an amazing day (and looking forward to the autumn content) 💙🦋🌾🫖

[@joanae8189]

That's exctaly why I love your channel. You are so genuine and sincere, I know you are the real artist and the real person.

[@apapercrane]

Beautiful. Just beautiful. There are very few channels I watch the way I watch yours... avid, captured, and engaged with every minute. I never play your videos as background noise or something just to listen to.... I absolutely love every one, and I truly believe that we are all so lucky to be able to watch and support you as a creator 💙💛🤍

[@susanbartlett3421]

As a NC native, I am so glad you enjoyed our beaches! They tend to be less touristy (except for Wilmington, of course!), so you are able to actually enjoy the beach for, well, the beach!! If you decide to come back to visit NC again, consider our mountains. They are breath taking as well! We are truly blessed here to have access to so many different settings and types of nature that is relatively easily accessible.

[@lindysharp7749]

Loved the messages at the end, particularly the reminder how life doesn't always have to look perfect all the time. I don't know why but it got me feeling emotional in a happy way, I really appreicate you mentioning that thank you, and your affirmations were just lovely too :) This video brightened my day.

[@amandaneumann4047]

Desi, I usually click on your videos the instant they download but I was right in the middle of a medical crisis with my mom and I wanted to wait until I had the time to enjoy it. When I finally had a moment to sit and watch, I can’t tell you how much peace and joy your video brought to me when I needed it the most. I was in tears by the end because it was such a beautiful, honest representation of what a sweet, romantic soul that you have and that you so unselfishly share with the rest of us. You have a gift Desi, never stop being yourself. I am SO grateful that I found your channel! Btw, gorgeous cinema photography with the new camera and drone camera, WOW! You are really honing your craft and developing a huge talent Desi, well done!

[@rashaewilliams6127]

This video was such a treasure today. Some months ago, my husband and I moved temporarily to a very warm and beachy place. For the first while it was a dream, but after the same thing each and every day I've found it hard to get excited about getting outside and enjoying it. This helped me reignite that little flame and get excited for summer again while it lasts. (absolutely cannot WAIT for the autumn content though!)

[@noraamalia6311]

almost started crying in the end, its so easy to forget whats really matters in life, to forget everything i schould be grateful for. You made me remeber, thank you

[@p01081990]

Excellent adding of the disclaimer at the end. It goes a long way honestly. Yes we love the aesthetic vibe to life, but it’s not real most of the time. So thanks for being real

I love getting up early and being outside! There is something about it that's so peaceful. My friend and I are doing legs of the North to South trail in RI in the mornings and I love it!!

[@LibertyCzarnik]

every time I watch one of your videos it makes me so unbelievably happy -- you've helped me get through some really hard times with having an absolutely terrible job, and after I finally quit, I started chasing the life that *I* wanted. I spent today doing cannonballs into a pool and finishing Little Fires Everywhere by the poolside, all while slightly getting a sunburn. Having the time to enjoy summer moments like you have here, I'm never going to take these moments for granted again. They fuel my inner child. Thank you for inspiring me!

[@bumblebeeb708]

I genuinely love Desi's content. I don't really follow anyone on social media or youtube but I get excited when she makes a new video. The blurb in the end of this video about making sure that everyone realizes this is NOT what her typical day looks like was so special. It's easy to see people's lives in beautiful videos and think that our lives don't compare and be unhappy. But her reminder that this is a beautiful video and not her typical day, and that that's okay is so important!! 💞💞💞💞💞

[@kaiag1912]

Hey Desi, I just wanted to say I’m so thankful to have found you and your beautiful and happy corner of the internet. From someone who struggles with depression and anxiety your videos help make those hard days much sweeter and much more relaxing(I’m sure I’m not the only one). So thank you for being so fun but also so real :)

Every time I watched your videos, you kind of remind me that it is okay to be me. Which is something I need to be reminded quite often. Thank you! 🧚

[@daniellelewis2307]

Goodness gracious i can’t get enough of your videos. I just love how much you incorporate mental health and self-love into everything you post. I especially loved the ending of your video this time. Especially especially the “Repeat after me” section. I’ve been struggling with some mental health lately from life strains and these videos you’ve been posting have just been such perfect reminders and helpers for ideas and things I can do. You inspire me so much. Thank you, Desi.

[@lenoraGrayce]

Excellent video Desi! I’m glad you mentioned how nature can help with mental health. I do believe that the epidemic of mental health in our country somewhat stems from our disconnection with nature and the ability to appreciate the smaller things in life and allowing life to cause a stress, mental fatigue and anxiety.

[@Artevibe]

This video is 10/10 Amazing! I don't want to say it's the best of yours because I don't want to imply your other videos aren't so great as well. But from the exact balance of scenery, activity, and voiceover to the heartfelt statements at the end, I was transported on a mini beach vacation at the time I needed it most. (Last night, after a really hard parenting day, I cried to my husband that it's so hard to romanticize my life with so little time to myself.) Thank you!

[@Didi-mb3rx]

are you sERIOUS? that place is my dream place omg i can barely believe somewhere that magical exists it's just sooo beautiful

[@CharizzeT]

Ahhh it’s finally here!! I was looking at your IG stories today and so sorry it took you long to upload the video. But know that I suuuuper duper love it!! I’m usually not a summer person (i prefer autumn 😁) but seeing the joy in your face and how you make the most out of the season makes me incredibly happy! It definitely reminded me of The Summer I Turned Pretty! I watched it earlier in July and I’m going to binge-watch it again 😊 I wonder if you had the chance to see them filming for S2? Hoho. Anyway, have a good rest now Desi. I really appreciate you and your videos! 💕

[@TheDarthSoul]

I think we almost did see them! One of the beaches we went to had signs along the road saying to "expect delays due to filming" the next day...and it was close to where some of the scenes from S1 were filmed. It seems we may have missed them by a day! 😅

[@DarlingDesi]

Aww Charizze thank you for following along on my insta stories! 😄 I also prefer Autumn but I really have found a kinship with each of the seasons this year and I’m so happy about that 💗 We never actually saw them filming but some of the roads were closed/had delays some of the days because they were filming nearby! 😍

[@sophieheptinstall-bolton7994]

You can see the love he has for you in this video by how he captures you... it's perfect! 😍

[@skyofdiamonds3058]

This is exactly the kind of video I needed to fuel my summer soul since I didn’t get to vacation this year. So jealous you got to read where the crawdads sing in Kya’s home of the Carolinas! I bet that was such a magical feeling.

[@hippyelise1]

I live on the shore all year round. I know how beautiful and blessed I am. I am 53 and hope to be here 53 more years. 😁. Beautiful video, opened my eyes to alot. Thanks for all your videos and thank you. 💜

[@IndieAnnieJones1]

thank you - just thank you for sharing these moments. It brings to mind a time when I was young and madly in love and was living a beautiful life. Life has changed since then, and though it is not as beautiful as it once was, I treasure the memories of a life that I was and still am truly blessed with. Thank you for sharing these lovely moments with all of us - have a safe trip home can't wait for the autumn season!

[@jessicameloni8697]

Your videos truly heals my soul. I want you to know that they’re one of the few things makes me feel better during this really dark period of my life. I felt emotional at the end, thank you for everything you do 🤍 you’re special human being. Lot of love from Italy

[@mrsarialewis]

Growing up, my family had a beach house on Kure Beach that had been in our family since the early 1900s. I have such wonderful memories of my trips with my grandparents to Kure and Wilmington and it's just so lovely to see someone else enjoy that area as well!

[@LindaKayHolevas]

Oh my gosh! I love frozen blueberries with a little granola, honey & oat milk! It's my go-to summer breakfast & snack! My daughter-in-law saw me eat it on vacation & thought it was so weird, but guess what? She loves it now, ha ha!

[@Soniawithani]

Thank you for starting my Monday morning off with such a beautiful piece of art. Loved this! I also appreciate your addition at the end. It’s so easy to fall into the “my life isn’t this beautiful “ or “ I am not doing enough because I’m doing dishes at 6am instead of …” Thank you for showing the beauty of life and providing a safe, keeping it real vibe as well. You are a gift Desi! Thank you 🌻🌻

I’ve been looking forward to this video for a while now since we’re not able to go on a vacation this year and I definitely felt like I got to enjoy the beach with you! Thank you for taking us along! Also your message towards the end brought me to tears. I love and appreciate your honesty so much and the mantra at the end was something I REALLY needed to hear. Your videos are so much more than just a collection of pretty things or fun activities…they are truly uplifting to the soul on so many levels. Much love to you Desi and I’m glad you had a great trip!
