Hey friends!!! Just wanted to let you know that there’s a little typo in the video with my VIVAIA discount code. The code is: DES15 ✨ Thank you so much to those of you who so kindly messaged me to let me know so I could put the correct code here! I mean honestly though at this point would it really be my video if there weren’t any typos? 💀

[@gretchenkoontz2836]

Great ideas and suggestions! New to your channel and I’m in love with your hair color!! ❤️

Desi!!! You should check out Jake Westbrook here on YT…he has a vintage autumn music playlist and a vintage Halloween Music playlist that are both SOOOO good and totally your style!

[@mcauble4031]

I know of a show you would love! It's called Moonlight and it's a vampire series. Unfortunately it only lasted one season for some reason but there are 16 episodes and it was awesome!! If you loved Twilight then you will love this!! I was devastated when I found out there would not be anymore seasons. It was from 2007 and the main character is played by Alex O'Loughlin.

Yes!! ❤️ If you haven’t already, watch Autumn in New York with Winona Ryder and Richard Gere. Her character is a “unique” much like you! It’s melancholy, moody, whimsical.

[@haley7266]

I'm a teacher with a ton of work anxiety. Fall typically is a hard time for me. But these videos inspire me to romanticize my autumn. Very excited for all things fall!

[@rosedalinevaletine6931]

Hey! Do you mind if I ask why? I adore fall and I feel like working at an elementary school makes it even more enjoyable.

[@casieziegler3646]

@@rosedalinevaletine6931 hello! I’m a future teacher (not the og commenter) who has a mom who is a teacher. A lot of the time, since fall is when school starts, it takes a while to get to know your new kiddos while simultaneously making sure they have the best school/class environment you can provide. There is also a lot of personalization that needs to be done for each students individual needs, which can be tricky. Plus, the og commenter may also work at a high school or middle school, which means there could be more kiddos as well. Again, ik I’m not the person you asked, but I thought I could try to answer to the best of my abilities :) I hope this helped!

[@susanschneider-baker49]

Start schooling can be Anxiety Time for Teachers. A new batch of 15-22 Kiddos & Parents to greet, meet, evaluate, get in their learning rhythm of which rarely two or three are on the same page and the daily drama of the last 24-48 hours of their lives outside of the classroom. Many Teachers look forward to the long Columbus Weekend just to go away and breathe so they can meet the challenges until Winter Break.

It was such a delight to my Irish ears to hear you say ''Sow-in'' when pronouncing Samhain. As an Irish word, many people don't know how to say it, but I appreciate this a lot. Well done :D This has me in the autumnal/fall mood now!

[@FaeryLaume]

I know, it surprised and pleased me so much that she pronounced it properly.

Thank you! I had no idea its pronounced like that.

I feel like the movie Stepmom (with Julia Roberts and Susan Sarandon) is one of the BEST movies to watch for fall. Such an amazing story and it’s so cozy.

[@DarlingDesi]

Ahhh I love the setting and vibes of the fall and winter scenes but the ending just hits a bit too close to home for me personally 🧡

[@astoldbykat]

Just started watching Gilmore Girls for the first time last week, and it's definitely going on my autumn watch list! I've also got a rec of my own: Good Witch. It's a Hallmark show, and it is SO PERFECT for fall. I watch it every year, and it just makes me feel so warm and cozy every time.

[@moonbalto]

Have you also seen the Good Witch films? They are great as well!

AUTUMN HAS ARRIVED. I've been waiting all year for this video. Thank you Desi

[@geenagr]

Even though I am Greek and everyone expects me to love summer the most, I must say I am reborn every October. To me, my New Year's Day is October 1st, when I get my mojo back, my body relaxes from the high temperatures and I set my goals for the new year. The recipes here are different to the US, as we don't use pumpkin and pumpkin spice as much, but the spice primadonna is cinnamon. I love making cinnamon cookies to dip into my coffee and/or tea. I love making honey cakes and buying seasonal candles that usually smell like caramel. Speaking of caramel, I put salted caramel bites in a big glass container...favourite snacks. And btw, if any of you have not tasted baklava bites, YOU ARE MISSING OUT!! In October I go to the wax candle shops to also buy my witchy, yellow candles (I love their smell). Ironically enough, they are sold in what we call "church shops". This year I want to buy a really fun umbrella too. If anyone has recommendations, please tell me. I need to stop or this will become an essay!!

[@aksharasrija4330]

Just looking at you gives me all the fall/autumn vibes. Absolutely loved.

[@teresa8610]

I read, “And Then There Were None” by Agatha Christie and loved it, so I can’t wait to watch that two part series. Great book, tv and movie recommendations for fall! 🍁❤️😊

Autumn is my absolute favorite time of year! 🧡 Also, your older videos helped me through COVID this past July. It was hot and summery out, but watching your cozy autumnal videos made me so happy in a time when I was incredibly sick. Thanks for making a miserable moment a happier one, Desi! 🍂🍁

30 minute video from you that I savored for 3 hours. I paused and looked up books on GoodReads, added movies to my Amazon wishlist, added some of your Fall bucket list items to my Joyful Simplicities for the Autumn months in my Simple Abundance book (HIGHLY recommend this book), and went to load your playlist to listen to while I sit and drink tea on my balcony while daydreaming of Autumn.

A book/movie that I believe belongs on any fall/spooky list is the Halloween tree by Ray Bradbury! It has the perfect cozy/spooky Halloween vibes! The 1993 movie is pure animated nostalgia!

One thing I do in autumn is hang out at the library (pulic or private whatever is within your reach) there is something about reading surrounded by others reading that is just amaizing.

[@californianbelle9938]

I stumbled upon your channel last year about this time and your content has LITERALLY changed my life. I have Autism and navigating life can be... well... different. I used to stick to the same things because they were familiar and safe. Same movies, books, activities, etc. Fall is my favorite season but I was never sure how to go about enjoying it aside from crunching through leaves and carving pumpkins. Last year, when I found your videos, I binged. You looked so happy and peaceful and I wanted my life to look like that. I had the best fall I have ever had in my whole life. I was living slowly before but now I'm living slowly and purposefully. My brain seems calmer too, since I started having things throughout the year to look forward to and celebrate beside big holidays and birthdays. Thank you!

[@miriamm.e4155]

[@DarlingDesi]

Over The Garden Wall is one of my favorites! So perfectly autumnal 😍 I think I recommended it in my starter pack last year or the year before! 🥰🙈🍂🧡

[@natalyaporter5730]

Where can you find it to watch?

[@skyhideaway]

for podcasts, i recommend The Magnus Archives and Welcome to Nightvale! neither of these are necessarily autumnal or cozy, but they are horror fiction podcasts with really creative plots. TMA starts off with statements from different people recounting a supernatural occurence that they experienced, and it is submitted to the Magnus Institute that does research on these incidents and entities. these individual stories slowly begins to connect into a larger plot, and the entire thing is written so well, the lore is really interesting and unique, and the characters are so real and complex. Welcome to Nightvale is a bit more on the comedy horror side, it's a fictional radio show that describes the very weird and spooky town of Nightvale when supernatural occurences and fever dream-esque incidents are just the norm. i haven't finished it but so far, it is definitely a bit more cozy and light-hearted, if you're not mentally ready for actual horror and angst.

[@happeningheidi]

So happy to see this up but I must be honest - I’ll have to just skim through it for now and then watch it more fully after Labor Day because that’s more when autumn starts for me. I’m still enjoying summer to the max right now. But I’m still very excited to watch this and I realize most of your followers are already into the fall vibes, so I’m sure they’ll love it because your season transition videos are always superbly done. As a matter of fact, all your videos are wonderful little mini movies that deserve immense praise. So artistic and informative too. ☺️🍂🍁😍👍🏻

I just moved away from Utah and am so homesick! Thank you so much for the video ❤️

[@kittyquinn004]

I’ve been waiting all year for this! 🍁 Your autumn content is the best; it’s literally a tradition now for me to write on my Autumn Bucket-list: Watch Darling Desi Autumn videos! 🍂

DESI, COULD YOU DO A LORELEI GILMORE FALL OUTFIT LOOKBOOK? 🧡🧡

[@cthulhuuhoop]

The notification I have been waiting for 🍁🍂🎃

[@maja8453]

Aaaah, I just started rewatching tvd - haven't seen it in seven years, but I still think it's amazing!

[@Rupser]

This could not have come at a better time! Just this morning I was rewatching your video from last year, and then this popped up! Fall suddenly does not feel that far away anymore!

[@Fiona_Co]

FAAAALLLL!!!!!!! I am so excited for fall. Summer is not my season, but I have been doing my best to enjoy it… still seeing fall on the horizon makes it so much easier to enjoy.

[@sarahaljabban8305]

SO excited for autumn!! But it's still way too warm here to get into the autumn feels just yet 🤷🏼‍♀️

Now I am in a very difficult life situation. I have two children and everything that happens to me affects them, one way or another. Panic attacks have become regular guests, and I can't ask for help for some reason. I was looking for a video that would help at least for a while to get rid of oppressive thoughts, to see the magic of the world. You help me more than my therapist. Thank you for sharing your mood. You give me the strength to look into the future and get at least some pleasure from the fact that I'm still breathing.

“It’s a romance so it does have a happy ending.” YEEEEES. I saw this in the store and wasn’t sure if it was a romance or just fiction so I hesitated on buying it. But I will definitely pick it up next time I go!!! You sold me on it for sure.

Awwww, I was waiting for this impatiently 🍁🍂🍄 I am reading Magical Midlife Madness at the moment and it’s the perfect autumn novel. Also the audio book is awesome as the narrator does such a good job in acting the different characters. And don’t worry, you don’t have to be 40 years old to love it 😅❤️

[@Thewitchescookery]

Love the magic(k)al suggestions in here! I am so excited for fall - especially all the cozy baking, baking and harvesting! Salted-caramel peer and walnut cake and of course pumpkin pancakes with warm cinnamon butter 🤤🍂🍁

[@Ava0117]

I think we can al collectively agree…that we all hereby declare… FALL HAS NOW BEGUN!!! LET THE SPOOKY SEASON BEGIN!!!!🍂🧡🎃👻

[@DarlingDesi]

The leaves have even started to change here already 😍🍂

[@Ava0117]

@@DarlingDesi Oh my gosh! I wish I lived in an area where the leaves changed, here they just skip all the pretty colors and go straight to brown crispiness and then fall off haha! But I did read that this year we are supposed to be expecting an unusually cold fall and winter where I live, so I hope that will maybe cause the leaves to change for once haha! Who knows…I can only hope haha! 🙏🏽🍂🧡 Edit: I do love the look of all the bare trees though! Especially since a lot of the trees in my area are oak and pine so they all look kinda spooky! 🫢👻

[@graceface9455]

Every year to get me into the fall season I listen to the audio book of all three Scary Stories to Tell In The Dark! The narrators voice is comforting yet terrifying and it never fails to make me feel so nostalgic and spooky ❤
