How To Enjoy November // romanticizing the transition from autumn to winter

[@graynovemberreads]

As someone with a November birthday, I cannot put into words how much this means to me 💕 I hope everyone will take the time and romanticize November this year.

[@_lilly347]

It's November 1st which means it's time for a rewatch 🤍

[@carriehooper32]

I love to see others still appreciate that November is still fall and not skip straight to winter and Christmas especially since winter doesn't even start until near the end of December. Please make videos like this for January, February and March because I always really struggle in those months!

[@somethingbambi875]

I learnt that we used to call november and december "pre Winter", and that's explains why the real winter often comes AFTER new year. I live in Sweden so the Snow can be here all from October to January, without it being weird. But in My heart November is still autumn, just a little more tired one. Always thought it was weird calling Christmas the mid of Winter, but it's just mid of Winter half year. Before its THE END of autumn and after real winter time. Like Christmas was the START of Winter and not THE END, People samt Summer right after new Years Eve and I'm so tired.

[@amberthistle2803]

In in the North Eastern part of the US and winter started the second week of November. Our trees have been bare since the first week of November and we've had multiple snow storms already. It's kind of hard to be in the fall mood during a snow storm LOL

[@patriciadebnam879]

Yes, I always leave my fall decor up until after thanksgiving while I see a lot of people putting Christmas up right after halloween

@S a f f r o n I also do that! It makes more sense to me than the seemingly random dates of when the season actually starts. This way, I know exactly, and every season gets the same time :) It is a bit frustrating when you want it to be suddenly cold and misty on the 1st of September, and even more so when you want everybody to go full out on Christmas decorations on the 1st of December...

[@saraivy]

In recent years, November has become my favorite month. It's meant to slow us down and rest. To contemplate the year so far, hold gratitude and just. Be. And with all the mist and fog, it's excellent for ghost stories. I also call it Lord of The Rings season 🥰

[@DarlingDesi]

YESSS 🙌🏻 My LOTR season is early summer, but I can totally see it being absolutely perfect for November! 👌🏻 Now I think I need to have a marathon this month..

[@sanguinelynx]

This is my time for ghost stories and LOTR too! I read 'Thrillers For Christmas', a series of short stories set in the season, and of course read my 'Bible', as my husband call my LOTR book.

[@ludovico6890]

Because of the post-Halloween blues, I used to dislike November. Halloween gone, Christmas so far away, I thought it was not a nice month. Until I remembered that we're still in autumn. Now I enjoy it a lot, I read crime fiction, watch crime movies and also read myths and legends.

[@pennybean6851]

November is my favorite month! It's when you get to celebrate Thanksgiving!! It's the one holiday that businesses haven't found a way to commercialize. So, for me, November is all about the love of friends and family and that cozy feeling of a warm kitchen filled with delicious sights and smells.

[@yourstrulyanshika]

November is my absolute favorite month. I dont know how people dont like it. it’s like right after halloween, so there’s still kind of a spooky vibe lingering, but also it’s right before Christmas season so it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy as the world gets ready for the best time of year. It’s like you get the best of both worlds, but then at the same time, it feels like a break and a time for self-reflection 🧡

[@TreyParkersBitch]

I strongly dislike November. Boring. Leaves fall off the trees and make me depressed till they come back next spring. It sucks. People start acting crazy because Christmas season makes everyone nuts. Black Friday people act like lunatics and embarrass the human race. Men don’t shut up about football. November is a crappy, depressing month.

[@wireflycreates3997]

In the UK where I’m from, November is for Bonfire night and fireworks. Communities gather together to huddle around the bonfires and watch firework displays while drinking hot drinks, eating toffee and baked potatoes…and children play with handheld sparklers. It’s so cosy and atmospheric and it’s something I really miss since moving away from the UK. Thank you for another lovely video Desi 💕

[@liscatcat8756]

[@elecbarberella]

I live in Florida, so we don’t really have Autumn or Winter. I love living the seasons vicariously through videos like yours. November for us is typically cooler than Summer, so there is a sense of relief from the heat and humidity we usually get. One of my favorite Autumn memories from my childhood in the Midwest is walking home from school and swishing my feet through all of the fallen leaves and the smell of people burning leaves in the air. I really miss that. Also, I was a bookstore manager for sixteen years, so any time we can talk about books is a good time to me!

Can I just say that your reaction to the rain is the sweetest thing! Here in Ireland we take the rain for granted and it is generally despised (funny because it rains for most of the year!). We forget that it is a massive contribution to our famous green fields & scenery and as a result our fantastic food produce too. Seeing you get excited about the rain because you don't experience it that often actually brought it home to me how lucky we are. Little moments of gratitude.

[@sallycormier1383]

When I lived in Spain we saw a similar reaction as they had been in a 9 year drought. Kids were dancing in the street, they had never experienced rain before. 🥰

In the UK, we have bonfire night, so my childhood memories of November are of being in warm coats and hats and outside in the dark with the smell of bonfire and barbecue.

Thank you for all your videos, they have kept me going through a difficult year x

The Historian. What a gem of a book. I've never seen anyone recommend, or even mention it before. I must have read it at least 10 years ago and it's still one of my favorites. 💛

[@beasjournal]

I’ve always adored autumn although I’ll admit seeing the absence of leaves on my favourite tree outside my window is a little disheartening and makes me feel sad about the bleak uk winters that are so close now. Your videos remind me that I can find little joys in everyday no matter how cold. On the subject of books, me and my friends are absolutely ecstatic about the Sinclair’s mysteries, and I got so excited when I saw the clockwork sparrow! I have only read the first two but I loved them!! Also I think you would like a series called Nevermoor by Jessica Trowsend. It’s a little spooky with magic and it’s set it the most wonderful city in a hotel with a giant talking cat called Fenestra. It’s also middle grade and not hard to read for beginner readers too. Anyways I apologise for my ramble but it was my birthday yesterday and I’m pretending this video is like an extra special present from my favourite KZbinr ❤️ Sending love and warm hugs from across the pond :)

[@ettoliram8116]

Happy 13-days-after-your-birthday! I *love* the Nevermoor books, they are wonderful and magical and feel-good. It's like Harry Potter, but done right... Going to look the Sinclair mysteries now!

Just popping in to say how much I love your cozy, happy, creative vibes, Desi! You bring out the best of what life has to offer in each of your videos. You spread love and light, coziness and warmth in a world that can feel so overwhelming and dark sometimes. But your channel reminds me to stop focusing on world events, events in the news, social media debates, etc and look at what I have right around me every day. This time of year it’s the leaves, the chilly and dark days (which are cozy!), drinking a cup of tea, reading a book, having coffee with a friend. The simple pleasures of life are ones weore often than not, actually have control over. And that’s where to put our focus. I’m a mom of 4, and even though you aren’t a mom, I’m still so inspired by your channel and it brings me comfort and joy. Thank you!! ❤❤

[@pixiebells]

This means so much to me because for the better part of the past 20 years, I've associated November/late fall with misery. In November of 2004 an important relationship was falling apart, my grandfather was dying, I was depressed, anxious & struggling with my mental health. Tensions ran high & I wound up in the hospital. But over time, I've grown to distance myself from that pain. I associate each month with a different color and I used to associate November with a dreary gray. But now I think of it as a warm and cozy dark-wine purple. Seeing your video brings me comfort that I can't even begin to describe. It's almost like this video was made for me, right when I needed continued affirmation that there's beauty any time of year. Thank you!!!!! 🥰

A great black & white movie to watch is: "The Ghost & Mrs. Muir" . Its got romance, but its not sappy stuff. It stars Rex Harrison as the ghostly sea captain.

We had on shorts and tshirts and it was in the 70s. This Monday it snowed. It's in the 60s today. It stayed warm for so long this year that we still have a lot of autumn colors hanging onto the trees.

When i was a kid November and December was such a very special month for me. I live in a tropical country,but you can really tell that it's Ber-months because the air is slightly colder and the water in the beach as well. November and December was colorful and a magical month for me,it was the time for me to watch shows that i can only see at that month. But as i grew older, the thrill is slightly fading away and it's not the same anymore. And i want to get that feeling back even though everything is not the same anymore, even though a lot of things changed.

[@theothercrypt]

This would be an amazing idea to do for every single month. Just how to find enjoyment and comfort in each individual month. Like a mood board but in video form. 🍂

You know...I used to hate November as it was the month between the best month ever (October) and ski season but now...I'm starting to see some of the beauty in this month as well. Those misty evenings you mentioned are my favourite and living in the mountains I love seeing the clouds coming so low that it often looks like Kelowna (the city I live in) is actually floating on top of a cloud, making me feel like I'm in some sort of fantasy world. It also rains here and living in a high desert like yourself, I totally get the love for rain when it makes an appearance. Thanks for being such a positive and calming light in the world :)

A woman after my own heart❤. I love November and the cozy, dark, fall vibes it gives off. I live in Texas and the weather doesn't really cool down and the leaves don't start changing until November. It is a great month to slow down, think of all I have to be grateful for before the Christmas season starts..

Your videos are always the prettiest OMG and your outfits, the places were you are, everything is BEAUTIFUL💜❤ I love Autumn and Winter especially November and December especially if I have some snow🙏

[@DarlingDesi]

Ahhhh thank you!!! 😭😭😭🙏🏻 And yes! December is so magical when it snows 🥺

[@buddyatiny]

@@DarlingDesi Christmas Holiday is my favorite time of the year😍

This made me want to stop everything I planned for today, dress in my favorite vintage outfit, and walk 5mi to the closest bookstore just to document the foliage I see on the way. Cherishing this November a little harder after watching this video 🥰

Yay, Desi, YAY!!!🎉🎉🧡...is all I can come up with at the moment. Sorry for such a lack of originality on my part, you deserve so much better! 😅 You're one sparkly gem of a person!!! ✨💎✨

[@DarlingDesi]

Hahaha no worries! I usually never know how to respond to compliments besides just saying thank you 🙈 So THANK YOU 🧡🧡

[@brookew128]

What a beautiful and cozy little town you live in! I love all of the autumn colors! 🍁🍂

[@Qrlekfjtj9]

This is so perfect ✨ November is that in between month after Halloween but not yet Christmas, it’s hard to know what to do or how to feel hahahah. Love it desi 🤍

[@DarlingDesi]

It is, and I love it because it’s neither of those, it’s its own thing 🧡

You remind me so much of myself!! And it's a great accomplishment as I had depression for most of my life. In 2016 I turned a corner and I am completely sunny inside and content and grateful! I will subscribe to your channel. And I also wanted to add that watching the Gilmore Girls is one of my favorite autumn activities. I just love New England anything.

[@happeningheidi]

Videos like this make me sad because my life is such a disaster right now. Autumn is my favorite season but it’s been awful so far.

[@Jeskrist5]

THANK YOU! I'm so tired of people an corporations skipping over November. Its a great month for self reflection and enjoying autumn more!

Hello November

[@veganseattlegal]

Another adorable and lovely video Desi! November is my second favorite month after October! There are still gorgeous colored leaves (mostly on the ground!) and I too love the increasing chill, rainy days and even the decent of darkness by 4 pm here in the PNW! We've been eating baked oatmeal for breakfast, watching movies in the late afternoon (as opposed to nighttime), started a (tediously difficult!) puzzle, doing calming coloring pages of zentangle seasonal images and reading beautifully illustrated children's books to each other at (an earlier) bedtime. And, I admit, already listening to peaceful instrumental holiday music! By the way, that loaf pan is gorgeous-I definitely need one! And your vintage Italian sweater is awesome! Happy November! I'm grateful for YOU! :)

[@dustiejacobs3665]

I could seriously watch your videos all day. as soon as they are over I always crave more. Loved the November vibes so much. Love your new sweaters!

[@nathaliel.2772]

For me november is a time for making puzzles while drinking my favorite tea (blueberry) and making/using candles 🕯 Best way of doing this is of course with my family/boyfriend, its so cozy and calming :) But playing board games also sounds fairly nice and I might try that out too 🍂🍁
