Hello Friends!
I got the idea for this video because I love November and I feel like it always gets overlooked. For me, it's peak dark academia season. All the cozy vibes, murder mysteries, baking, old classic films and rainy evening walks. So I hope you enjoy some of these tips for how to enjoy November. A lot of them are specific to what I like to do, but I hope maybe you can at least just a little bit of inspiration :)

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

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 🥰

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..

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. [Side note; the 1960's in color TV series was loosely based off the movie, too. It's a great November evening movie watch. *If you do watch the movie; let me know how you liked or didn't like it, Desi.

[@ErikandEllie]

I love classic films. They are what made me fall in love with 1940s fashion and cinema.

[@MyMerryMessyGermanLife]

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!! ❤❤

[@indiegirl100]

I've always loved November, having a November birthday. 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. I used the love the contrast of the cold air and being warm in a thick coat, and the contrast of the dark night and fireworks going off. Thank you for all your videos, they have kept me going through a difficult year x

[@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!

Yeah, recognized the line, it's one of my favorite movies, both the original and the remake. The chemistry between Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan is awesome.

[@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.

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.

[@angelakate9063]

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.

[@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 friendship-turned-almost-relationship since kindergarten was falling apart, my grandfather was dying, I was depressed, anxious & struggling with my sexuality. My mothers' friend lost her husband & was brutally attacked by their own son, it was even in the news & she was never fully the same. Tensions ran high & I wound up committed in a metal ward for a week, the second time in under a year. But slowly, 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 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!!!!!!! 🥰

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 :)

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 🥰

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 🧡

[@laurenjones321]

Thank you for your cozy/calming videos! I love the idea of playing clue this time of year & pairing it along with the classic 80’s movie! 🧡 Every time I see you reading I get the biggest urge to drop what I’m doing a curl up with a good book.

[@kelsydecker3660]

Arsenic and Old Lace. Great classic movie for Fall. 🧡

[@allysandramikee2212]

[@kellyk5381]

Your videos are so soothing to my inner child 💕. Thank you for all the love and effort you put into these, it shows!

[@kimberlychiarelli]

Loved this! So relaxing! Would be fun as a monthly series! 💕

[@juliettegibson9845]

I lived in Alberta all my childhood, where Halloween was often the first snow and November thrust us into winter quite fiercely. I moved to BC in March and it’s soooo nice that November here is actually part of fall! It feels much more gentle in how we’re moving into the winter months and I’ve been really enjoying it!

This was lovely. I really liked your thrift store cardigan and the pattern on your cake tin. We have a Japanese Acer tree in our garden which is SO beautiful in the autumn. I have preserved some leaves by dipping them in water and glycerine and then framing them when dry. They've lasted six years so far.

Your videos are always so much fun to watch and so informative! This one is no exception. Another great fall themed short film. Yay! But I must add that even the way you insert your sponsorship comments is done so tastefully. Not like an interruption at all.🍁

[@DarlingDesi]

That means SO much to me, thank you! 🥺🙏🏻 I really really appreciate it 🥺🧡

[@theodora6843]

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 🧡🧡

[@rose281396]

I just consider the beginning of September to December the holiday season and just truly enjoy all my traditions I have created with my family!! I love these months and get super sad that it just seems to fly by!

[@alisong06]

I always look forward to your videos for my regular top up of cosy feel good vibes 😁 Please keep doing what you are doing, you bring so much joy to others even when having a tough time yourself ❤️ xx

[@sarahhales1505]

Yay, this is exactly what I need after my work day yesterday! Plus, I’m supper early. Awesome! Please keep up being our awesome aesthetic queen.

[@DarlingDesi]

So so early!! 🙌🏻 Thank you so much friend 🥺🧡

[@sarahhales1505]

Darling Desi you should check Opium and Absinthe. It’s a great mystery/suspense book!

[@happeningheidi]

Yes!!!

[@DarlingDesi]

Dang mom you were first!! 🙌🏻🥺🧡

[@dianafrances6880]

That scent memory trick is great for traveling too. Specific scents of lotion, candles, tea, each remind me of a different corner of the world.

[@kizzymulcaster6057]

Back home from working away in my cosy cottage lake district uk. Really enjoyed this video. I needed some positivity because ive been going through changes which im still coming to terms with. I forgot how soothing it is to light candles and sit in candle light. Good to be home... Even if i do now live alone.

[@battyboo3732]

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.

[@MyMerryMessyGermanLife]

A friend recommend your channel to me and I’m in love! Love your vibes and content and aesthetic. It’s all what I’m into. Thank you!

[@DarlingDesi]

Oh my goodness thank you! I’m actually a huge fan of your channel! I’ve been a silent subscriber for quite some time 🙈 My husband and I are considering a move abroad to Austria or Germany and your videos have been amazingly informative! 🧡

[@darcy487]

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.

[@Lillyjoy]

I love your cardigan at 12:15! I also love the video, November is one of my favorite months :)
