The First Days of Summer 🦋🌿🌞🧃my summer bucketlist & mood board + books, coastal cottagecore vlog

[@hisachilleas]

I'm disabled and can't do a lot of the things I want to because of chronic pain, but your videos are such a comfort, and inspire me to find new ways to find joy and adventure, finding the "glimmers" in the everyday. Thank you for all you do to bring joy to so many people.

[@tresannrn8454]

I understand… I have AS. Her videos make me smile, and to, reach for the things I can actually touch. God bless you. Sometimes it’s nice to know others do actually.. understand! Keep reaching Sweet friend!❤

[@lilacwood]

Same! You aren’t alone! Finding the joys and glimmers I can. So many hugs to you ❤️❤️‍🩹🫂

[@HowCaseySeesIt]

Desi, I CANNOT get over how good your videos are. THEY are my glimmer! I literally re-watch old ones until you upload again. Thank you so much for helping us to appreciate the seasons, reading, and life in general.

[@DarlingDesi]

You are so incredibly kind, thank you 🥹🫶🏻

[@FaeryLaume]

Made lilac syrup, eating straight from the garden, drying rose petals, wearing my summer witchy hats, making sun teas, dining al fresco, watching the goldfinch flitting about the birdfeeder, reading spooky summer books, chatting with our bees, cloud watching, sleeping with the windows open..... enjoying all the summer moments.

[@CelisticMarion]

This sounds like perfection 😍. What spooky summer reads are you reading?

[@FaeryLaume]

@@CelisticMarion The plan this summer, shaky as it may be since I have a great library and bookstores nearby, is to read books with a summery theme or setting from my OWN shelves. To that end I have several toppling stacks of selected books near my nightstand. It includes a little bit (or a lot) of most genres. But I'm particularly determined to read the spooky ones, which include Her Dark Lies by J. T. Ellison, The Lovely and the Lost by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, Black Rabbit Hall by Eve Chase, and The Solstice Wood by Patricia McKillip. I also have two middle grade spookies - Wretched Waterpark by Kiersten White and What Lives in the Woods by Lindsay Currie. I've already read What Lies in the Wood by Kate Alice Marshall (last year I read her YA book Rules for Vanishing, Iove her books), and Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant (which was entertaining but not really the mood I am looking for, I'm more interested in spooky woods and old houses with secrets.) What about you? Any planned books for the summer, spooky or otherwise?

[@CelisticMarion]

@@FaeryLaume ohh! That sounds lovely! I, too, am trying to focus on the stack of books by my bed! I need to add all of the ones you listed to my TBR because those sound like just my thing! I am currently reading A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab. My next read is A Kingdom of Stars and Shadows by Holly Renee(which is a fantasy romance, I think?) Then I have Spells for Lost Things by Jenna Evans Welch, Lending a Paw by Laurie Cass, Put Out to Pasture by Amanda Flower (which I might save for a cozy autumn read), The Lady in The Attic by Tara Randel, and These Silent Woods by Kimi Cunningham Grant. 🤗

[@FaeryLaume]

@@CelisticMarion And now I must add many of yours to MY list. LOL. We happily enable each other. ;) I loved the Darker Shade of Magic books and there's a new book coming out in the fall set in the same universe called The Fragile Threads of Power. I read library copies but found a like new copy of the first book in the series at the thrift store yesterday.

[@FaeryLaume]

@@CelisticMarion Oh, I almost picked up These Silent Woods yesterday too. Dang it, now I wish I had. Oh well, it's probably at my library, and it looks from the cover more of a winter read anyway...

[@heatherczerkawski]

Finding your channel allowed me to reconnect with myself. The girl I had been hiding inside because her peers didn't accept her whimsy and made fun of her. Almost 40 and making up for lost time! Thank you Desi! Sincerely! It's such a wonderful feeling finding your way back home to the genuine person inside ❤

[@KattAndThat]

I cannot WAIT for summer! The warm sun, the subtle breeze, the smell of fresh flowers and sound of busy buzzing bees, not having to wear bulky jackets but instead wearing flowy dresses and sandals. Not only all that but the beach on the warmest day of the year and feeling the sand under your feet and listening to the ocean doing its daily duty. What a dream this will be in just a few months! Thank you for this beautiful reminder of what is to come

[@Maryyyy27]

Sometimes Desi's videos make me cry out of pure happiness. I know it sounds silly, but I take so much comfort in these videos so much, and they make me feel pure joy. Please continue to making so many people's days that extra bit more magical 💖

[@peanutbutrs]

I always appreciate Desi' s videos because she is able to walk the line between tapping into the best, most ideal versions of ourselves, while still remaining grounded. Her videos feel less like an aspiration and more like a reconnection to the best parts of humanity and nature. Thanks Desi.

[@angelinadamiano8924]

I’ve been ignoring my softness because of stress in my life and watching this video reminded me of what I feel when I’m truly in touch with my soft aesthetic. Being soft is more than style. It’s a lifestyle that promotes simplicity and tranquility. Thank you for this gentle reminder to embrace that again! ❤️

[@jenniferevelynhayes]

Desi, I try so hard to save your new videos as rewards for getting my work done, but I can never wait to hit play!! 😊 Summer is my least favorite season, but now I'm suddenly swooning for summer's softness, beauty, and glimmers. You are magical and inspiring and a kindred spirit to more of us than you could possibly know. Thank you so much! Happy Summer!

[@larahhelayne7724]

Hi Desi! Your first sourdough looks great! I used to run a sourdough business in the Summers and wanted to share some tips. You definitely don’t need a Dutch oven for it to work. I’d recommend putting a pan of water on the bottom shelf of your oven while you’re baking to keep the air moist; it mimics a convection oven and keeps the bread from drying out which is the point of the Dutch oven. Also, the gummy texture could be from over hydration, but it could also be undercooked. And if you cut the loaf before letting it cool completely, that can lead to a gummy texture, too. I hope this helps!! I also think you’d really enjoy doing sourdough painting and/or pressing edible flowers into the top of the dough! It’s totally your vibe.

[@cdal1621]

Such a refreshing video that magnifies living life through experiences rather than having to buy items to feel alive ! Making memories and being happy with what you have in your life and what you choose to make out of it - so uplifting and encouraging. Appreciate this so much 😊

[@DarlingDesi]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I definitely do still buy items because I love having special things, and they do bring me happiness. But just doing your best and focusing on small moments of being present beats out everything else 💕

[@TheEclecticPhotog]

My favorite Summer "glimmer" watching lightning bugs ( fireflies) in the evenings. No matter what the day has been like, watching them always makes me smile! Happy Summer ☀️

[@RaLiviaW]

I can't seem to hear "The sun is shining," without going, "The sun is shining the tank is clean!" I'm so inspired now to do my own summer bingo! I've had a tough beginning of the year and I often forget that I can make the rest of the year better, I don't have to wait for a whole new year. This video is so lovely, refreshing, and inspiring!

[@venlakorhonen6568]

Oh, I just can't wait! This is definitely the best way to start my evening in our grandparents' summer cottage! Thank you so incredible much!💖🌻

"As an adult I've DECIDED to love it" this is what I intend to do with this winter ❤

[@DarlingDesi]

[@kerenjuan6905]

Discovering you was a breath of fresh air. I mean, in a hungry world full or people that are always in a hurry, being here, listening to your lovely voice, seeing all this wonderful stuff, this way of gentle living... I crave for a future like this, just outside of a novel. You are an inspiration for us, Desi. Thanks for being you, thanks for let us be ourselves.

This year I decided to live each day extra extravagant, going out of my way to dress up, to make each day feel magical. I decided to read a book or a story from my folklore collection every night. Desi thank you for these videos they make everything so magical

[@idathyberg1130]

Hi Desi. Your videos are glimmers. They put me in a state of mind of hope and magic. Thank you from a warm and sunny Sweden. Have a great summer everybody!

Wow I thought I was the only person who thought this lol

[@pinkpistachio13]

Hi, sweet friend! Your channel is a haven of warmth and comfort for me. It's the solace in the delicate petals of moments that you share unfolding one by one, like a beautiful blooming flower in a meadow. Your videos cast a protective shield around our hearts, protecting us from the storms of life. You have given all of us a home where we feel understood, accepted, and cherished. When I see a notification for a new video, I am rest assured knowing that I will be embraced by tranquility and serenity. All I have to do is sit back and bask in the gentle and peaceful space that you've so lovingly created. I am forever grateful for you teaching me how to find the magic in the mundane, to live softly, to treasure the small moments, and live life to the fullest. Your channel has become the coziest corner on the internet, where we all feel held and safe. Thank you for sharing your healing light and for bringing us along this journey of tender moments of joy. Beaming all of my love, appreciation, and support to you always! 🌸

Oh Desi...this was what my heart needed today. I've really been struggling since last Fall and haven't looked forward to Summer like I usually do. This helped. I will try to look for the glimmers each day. Thank you for naming your starter Betty. That was my mom's name and she just passed in January. Thank you for a lovely, lovely video. ❤

I wish you health and happiness! - And good changes 😃😊☺️ Don’t pay much attention to negative things and thoughts, and just enjoy your life, please 🌷 Make it beautiful and just full of life and light. Thank you for everything you do💜

[@eternaldreamer9187]

You have really inspired me to embrace the things I love about each season. I am someone who has struggled with summer in the past, but I am choosing now to focus on all of the things I love about it. I live in the deep south where it gets very hot and humid. However, on most days, we get afternoon thunderstorms that are so cozy and magical, and it is the perfect reading weather. It reminds me of autumn, being indoors with warm blankets , flickering candles, and a good book. And in the early mornings, my favorite time of day, the temperature is warm and there is mist all around. There is magic to be found in every season. Thank you for your positivity and beautiful videos! ⛈📚☕🌿

[@xoxCarolxox]

You are making me miss the Northeast sooooo much! I love this content, it's been a rough few months and wholesome content like this just helps.

[@melissac.4374]

Thank you for your constant inspiration. I wish I could show you my glimmers. I recently came out of an abusive marriage and started over from scratch with little. But your videos are sweet blessings and have given me so much inspiration. I have taken to redecorating my sitting/living room and bedroom with what really makes me happy (which is actually very similar to your way of decorating). I have been able to turn my little apartment into one of the happiest, sweetest and most peaceful places I have ever lived. My two kittens, Cotton and Velvet, and I have created a loving space that brings me joy every time I walk through the door. It makes me cry sometimes to see the difference in my life now. Love from Spokane, Washington.

[@minheecherry7045]

[@sunflowersyndrome]

I love 💗 it. I love this video so much, Desi. I relate so much to the quote about aching so much for summer days during the winter that you don’t want to take a single day for granted. I’m watching this in July and when June ended, I was already sad about being one month closer to winter and how I have even less days of summer left. I can’t believe we’re already half way through the year and only 2 months of summer left… I love spring and summer and dread the cold seasons… I strongly dislike winter… 😢

[@trinaansel9979]

[@trishagudeman1648]

Ahh I'm loving the summer vibes in this vid! Sourdough tip: it probably felt a bit wet and gummy because it wasn't fully cooled. As much as it pains me to say, you shouldn't cut the bread fresh out of the oven because the steam will cause it to get that weird texture. Once it's fully cooled, however, the texture is typically much better and more "breadier". Also, don't worry about not having a Dutch oven! It's helpful but absolutely not necessary. Happy baking!

[@DarlingDesi]

Thank you so much for the tip! I actually waited an hour and half to cut into the bread because I had seen people say that waiting makes it better so I don't think that was the issue this time :(

[@trishagudeman1648]

​@@DarlingDesi oof that stinks that it still came out that way. Don't give up though, sourdough is such a trial and error process so keep at it! Also, I love the idea of glimmers, that concept brings me so much joy. 💐

[@idontlikeagoldrush]

Hi Desi! I used to work at a local bookstore near you in RI and all those titles are available through our store! When it’s not on our shelves we order it from the publisher and can mail it directly to you (with cute stickers sometimes too) Although it might come a few days after something from Amazon, supporting indie bookstores not only gives the author more money when you buy their book but it also puts more money into the local economy and gives people like me a job. While Amazon is very convenient it is sadly has really ruined the book industry. I just wanted to let you know most bookstores can order you whatever you want! Loving these summer vibes and I look forward to these videos all year long!

i was born on june 20th... In Brasil its winter time. For me, all the good memories comes from this type of days, cloudy, rainy maybe, but this time of the year realy talks to me. Certain time i've discovered this channel. And that time was so troubled, but brought me a brake to my thoughts. Had been wacthed and listened this was a certain reencounter eith myself from the past. Nowdays, i watch this channel and feel like i am reading and SEEING a poetry book. The songs, the images, the edition... all tends to a real profound and unique touch that makes me connect with all the good memories that i lost within all those years. I was touched by your work, may ithers feel the same. Keeep doing what your heart tells you to do. Always will be a soul to discover all our emotions.

I am also someone who appreciates the little things and I love all the little touches in your videos. You find the cutest things even if it's a berry tea or a cute beach hat or delicious snacks, books, cozy days, just everything. I try to enjoy life the same way every day as I can.

Hard to do when suffering from hay fever and being a Ginger in summer is never easy!
