Starting Over in 2023 | moving & cultivating a soft life

Thanks so much to BetterHelp for sponsoring today's video! Use my link betterhelp.com/desi to get 10% off your first month 🤍
Hello my friends, I hope you're doing well! I took time off during January to focus on some other projects and mostly to prepare for our big cross country move. I'm so excited to announce that we are moving to New England! (I'll share the specific state in my next video)
In this video I wanted to share my life reset that I've been implementing for 2023. A starting over vlog. Prioritizing my mental health and focusing on happiness first. For me that has looked like reading lots of fairytales, eating healthier, not scrolling on my phone and listening more to those who love me instead of strangers on the internet. It has also consisted of a lot of journaling :)
I hope you enjoy the video! Any guesses as to which state we're moving to? I can't wait to share! 🤍
p.s. we have 2 kitties now! The new cat you see in this video is Mr. Benedict. He's 2 months older than Binx and he's a floofy cloud. We love him so so much.

Hi Darlin'! I am a almost 60 year old women who has been through a lot in my life. At times I felt adrift and lost, other times elated and happy. I have been struggling with Anxiety for most of my life. I firmly believe coming across your channel a few years ago was no accident. Since then I re-discovered my love for books, tea and candlelight (or tea by candlelight 😊) simply and unapologetically being myself. Watching your videos makes my days a little brighter, a little less hectic. You bring so much joy to everyone here and are such an incredible gift in this hussle and bussle world. Thank you for being you! Love, Rosie

[@brigidspencer5123]

Hi Rosie, I'm almost 60 as well. I am wondering if you're also following 60 and Me which gives a lot of tips for women 60 and over regarding issues that are common for women in this stage of our lives?

Hi Brigid! No, I have not. But thank you for the tip. I will check it out. Have a fabulous day!

[@momtalksbudget5407]

I couldn't help but tears at the end thank you so much sis for sharing your story I'm inspired! Glad I started my path to reinventing myself a year ago, I’m now living healthier, confident, stronger, making 6 figures, having leisure to enjoy family &friends. I feel happier and living my life for myself . This is to encourage someone “you can start anytime to have a reset it’s worth it! I’m striving to continue growing cus it’s a journey 💗

[@gracedaniels6172]

Congratulations sis! Thanks for encouraging others with your story, I will love to get tips from you too

[@momtalksbudget5407]

Change your mindset, read self-help books, expand knowledge, budget and don't spend on impulse, save, take your finances seriously, eat healthy, exercise your body, meditate; the list goes on... I hope it is useful to you.

[@leahkrupnik844]

Hey Desi! You probably will never see this comment, and it will be left to float in the abyss of the internet forever. But I wanted to share with you how much this channel did for me. I'm thirteen - a teenager trying to figure life out in a crazy mess of a world. When I first found you channel, I found myself relating to it so much. You shared things in your Romanticizing Life video that I didn't even realize I was already doing. Autumn has always been my favorite season, but here in California the cold seasons are not much for romanticizing. Everything is just dry and warm all year round. I dream of going to college on the East Coast, or maybe even in England. Your channel is just peak vibes and energy for me. I used to think the internet was hurting me, but finding channels and accounts like yours taught me something different: there were people out there who were like me. I know you shared not having friends as a kid, so you probably know what I'm talking about when I say that I always just feel odd and mis-matched next to all the preppy, tik-tok obsessed girls I know. You and your channel have gotten me through loneliness, trying to find acceptance, figuring out who I want to be (obviously still a work in progress, and will probably be for the rest of my life). You also inspired me to start my own channel on KZbin. So thank you, Desi. I wish you and anyone who's read this to the end the most *aesthetic* 2023. May all your dreams for this year become a reality. ✨

[@bradrushing5959]

May you become all that your Maker intends! God bless🌿🩷🌿.

[@LindaKayHolevas]

You are only 13? Wow, you are very well spoken. I wish you lots of love & success. As Desi said, the only one who needs to be proud of you is YOU! If I could talk to my 13-year-old self (I am 58), I would tell her to be find her inner source (God) who loves her unconditionally & be that person. Do not live her life trying to please everybody else because it’s only from loving yourself truly that you can help anybody anyway. Set big dreams & follow them. This is your life so live it in a way that makes you happy & fulfilled. Sending you love & light 🥰☀️

[@luanna1481]

I wanna love this as it also brought tears to my eyes! I had a rough Xmas dealing with seasonal depression which is strange as a Canadian that my boyfriend and I felt yet her Christmas videos lifted us and we took a different more natural turn and back to ourselves! She is inspiring to not give up on yourself! We are here, we are home! Haha I changed my hair too!❤❤😂😂🎉

You are one of the VERY few creators that i look forward uploading their work. You are like a warm hug, a soft kiss, a gentle smile. Wish you good health and that everything comes as you want it to be. The new place will suit you SO much, you'll be like one of the Gilmore Girls! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@melissac.4374]

I ran across you one day and felt like I had found a friend. Anne of Green Gables is my favorite book and the 1985 version of the movie is my absolute favorite movie. I started watching some of your videos, especially the room makeover ones as that's something I love. I was an English literature major, so I love books, just like you. I just found out today you had been living in Utah. I knew we were kindred spirits. I lived in Utah for over 15 years. I recently restarted my life in Washington State, back where I was raised as a little girl. I am just coming out of an abusive marriage and I needed to start over somewhere that wasn't tainted by bad memories. I just moved here in April of this year and am putting my life back together piece by piece. You remind me that I want to take time for the romantic me, the soft me, the inner me that has been hidden away by several years of pain. I cried as you talked about saying goodbye to the little place that had brought you so much joy. I understand that feeling too. Thank you for being you Desi. You inspire me.

[@ro.renn.garland]

Desi, thank you so much for this video. It brought me to tears. Especially when you said "sometimes the place we're used to is not the place you truly belong". That hits so hard for me right now. I'm 19 and still living at home with my mum but I can feel I've grown out of my family home and I need something new. At the moment I am not able to make that happen so when you say that, it really touched me deeply. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your videos bring a spark of joy to my life. One day I hope to live in a little cottage with a garden with tons of flowers. Maybe a cat and a dog. And bake bread and knit and create so many wonderful things and live a simple life away from the business of the world. I know there will be hard days but you can't have the light without the shadow. Thank you again, Rosy Garland 💚🌻

[@KindHarmony]

"Sometimes the place we're used to is not the place you truly belong." This resonates so deeply. As much as it felt somewhat sad in a way to recently leave my home state (again), and this time for good, I knew it was a place that we outgrew. New adventures and opportunities were waiting. A calling to trust. Faith is Faith after all. And all the new friends we get to make along the way are such an amazing part of the journey. 💛 So grateful for the new experiences and the wonderful people we have met so far. 🌍

[@shaneyswift3127]

We are in two completely different stages of life, but I'm surprised at how much of this video I relate to. I am a stay at home mom of two, one a newborn, and my husband and I just bought a home. It's so easy to get lost in newborn parenthood, I find myself desperately reaching for all the ways to continue to feel like "me" when my current life stage is so wrapped up in my children 24/7. And moving from an apartment that was fine for us as a couple but too small for a family of four has been a surprisingly emotional experience as well. I suspect I will be coming back to this video a lot in the next few weeks or even months.

[@ashb2404]

I just wanted to encourage you... I have 3 kiddos. The oldest is 16 and my youngest is almost 2... I have found, embracing the current "me" sometimes is all I can do, and cherishing the moments that reflect the old me when I get them.... But also... There is a version of the old me and the current me that are always continuing to form the new me.... All the "yous" are beautiful.

I can't wait to see your new home and what you will make of it. Your design and the romantic way you look at life have really helped me in my daily life. I used to think I was silly to look at life like it was a fairy tale and now you have encouraged me these last few years to continue to always do what I want and be who I want to be no matter my age. Life is just too short for anything else. So, thank you Darling Desi for your channel. By the way, the last part of this video brought tears to my eyes it was so special you shared your time with us. The excitement on your face about reaching your KZbin goal really touched my heart.

[@blinobyknovennyy]

Your hair turned out absolutely incredible! I'm assuming you didn't record the whole process, since it's hard for me to imagine the hair turning out so perfect for just putting on bleach like this over the whole head just once, without sectioning, doing the mids and ends first to avoid hot roots, plus toning etc. If your hair did turn out the way it did from only bleaching the whole head together once, then I'm absolutely amazed, because such luck is extremely rare. Your hair looks gorgeous, you look gorgeous, and thank you for this wonderful video, as well as your wonderful channel ♥️

[@DarlingDesi]

Haha thank you! I did the mids and ends first, let it process for like 15min and then put the remaining bleach on my roots. I wanted to film more but I kept having to take my gloves off to film and that was difficult 😄 After washing it out I noticed the roots were blonde enough but my mids and ends weren’t, so I just used another box of hair dye on them, washed it out with a purple shampoo and then used a really pigmented purple hair mask and this was the final result! ♥️

[@blinobyknovennyy]

This video came up on my recomendations and I am so glad it did. I found such peace in your content on an anxiety filled day, and I can't wait to delve deeper into your videos and join you in your world whilst bringing you into mine. x

[@skyladovah6358]

It made me emotional in so many levels, specially because I used to live in Utah too... But may the next adventure be blessed and exciting as this one was💖

[@Reading.with.a.coffee]

I got a little emotional at the end! I'm so glad to have found your channel, it has done wonders for my mental health but also in helping find who I am. I wish you all the best and cannot wait to see what videos you create in your new home ❤️

Welcome to your next chapter!! Looking forward to seeing what adventures you create in your new place. 😊

Thanks for the inspiration. A ton of us are dealing with low self-esteem and depression, so it’s nice to see someone take the initiative and represent someone taking their self-acceptance and happiness in their hands 😊

Love your new hair colour! I don't watch the news but I do watch calm, inspiring videos like these in the morning

This was such a lovely video! Thank you for all the much needed life-softening inspiration. I absolutely loved your journaling segment and can completely relate. I’ve been trying to embrace my messier journal style this year and enjoy it in my own way, so I’d love more journaling content if you feel inspired to share it. Wishing you good health and a safe/smooth move to your new place. Looking forward to seeing the next chapter!
