  • Happy summertime, friends! 🌊🍉🌻🐚🌴
    In today's video I recommend some summery/beachy books, movies, tv shows and activities to get you in the mood for summer! For me, this summer is all about all things breezy, warm and light. Mediterranean Mamma mia summer vibes. Everything coastal grandmother and nautical. Growing up, I didn't enjoy summer very much (living in Arizona and Utah in the desert, I just could not enjoy the extreme heat, dryness and lack of greenery) but since I've started immersing myself in my imagination with the help of aesthetics like "mamma mia European summer" and "coastal grandmother" and "cottagecore" I've been able to find ways to truly enjoy this beautiful season. Now I really do honestly love summer, and I hope maybe some of these tips and ideas can help you to enjoy it a bit more if you're also someone who struggles to find the beauty in this season 💙
    If you have any suggestions about how to romanticize and enjoy summer, I'd love it if you could leave your ideas in the comment section for others to read! You might really be able to help inspire others to find little joys this summertime! :)

    Just a reminder to everyone that you don't have to look a certain way to enjoy Summer. There is so much pressure on us to have the perfect body and be perfectly shaven, and this is probably the most difficult season for many of us in terms of body image. I love the way Desi romanticises each season, and helps us find joy in the little moments. However, acceptance of your body and your life the way they are is equally important, and I hate the way society and social media puts so much pressure onto women to look a certain way. Your value is so much more than the way you look, and a woman's body is the least interesting thing about her. Go have fun! ❤️

      Summer is a time for doing things that make us happy and enjoying the weather despite what we think we “should” look or even feel like. Last summer I was really struggling with my mental health and I constantly was comparing myself to everyone having such a good time and being happy. If I would have just compared myself less and focused more on just accepting and nurturing myself, I would have had such a better time. Having fun should absolutely be top priority over everything else 💗

    I really struggle with Summer. I get so down when the temperatures get super hot. I feel like summer has this expectation of always having to be great and for me it’s four months of anxiety. I really appreciate your videos and they help me to realize that it’s the little things. Instead of focusing on the snakes and bugs focusing on the birds and flowers, that sort of thing. Thank you for being such a light :)
    Two of my favorite movies for summer are Stand by Me and Indian Summer.

    I struggle a lot with summer. Growing up, I was most prone to depression & anxiety in the summer because my home life wasn’t great & I was stuck at home. Your videos are always so calming & they bring me so much joy! I’m in a season of a lot of changes & difficulties going on in my life, but this video brought me so much comfort ❤️ and inspired me to try to enjoy summer. Usually I spend the whole summer saying “You know what’s great about this month?! It’s only _____ months until September!” I love fall so much, but maybe I can start loving summer too. Even if it’s because it’s the prequel to my favorite season ☀️

      I have also experienced the most anxiety and panic attacks during the summer especially since graduating high school. Every summer was just a time of limbo where plans weren't settled for the fall and the future was uncertain if not outright bleak. 5+ years later summer has stayed that way, but I loved summer as a kid and want to find things I like about it again. Fall is also my favorite, so I like thinking of it as a prequel 😄

    I loved this video. Last night, I finished reading “Where the Crawdads Sing”. My mom passed away in 2019, and before that she begged me to read it. I now know she so badly wanted to discuss it with me. Sadly, I just couldn’t read during that year. I was going through so much. Well, I sobbed through it. I absolutely loved it. I don’t know if you had read it. I know many people love this book. It is now on my favorite list. The movie comes out in July and Taylor Swift has a song on the soundtrack. This book will stay with me for a very long time for so so many reasons. Thank you for your beautiful videos!

      Your story reminded me of my dad. "Where the Crawdads Sing" was the last book he read before he died. He told me to read it because he thought I would like it. It's been almost three years now and I still haven't read the book because up until this point it has been too painful. Maybe it will be healing to read it?

    • @MossStoneStoryVintage
      @MossStoneStoryVintage 2 роки тому +5

      @@sarahlopinot906 Aw, so sorry! It’s a book you need to talk to someone about after reading it. The fact your dad wanted you to read this, tells me he was so proud of you, and that the main character resonated with him, and her strength probably reminded him of you. I lost my dad when I was young. He was my everything! Even though I don’t know you, please know that my heart goes out to you. Read this beautiful book. Talk to your dad while you read it, and cry, cry, cry. And I can tell you something else, your dad was an amazing man because he picked up this book in the first place. Delia Owens shows her readers the definition of what a man should be and what he shouldn’t. There will be so many beautiful messages your dad will give you while you read this book. Keep in touch! I have a UA-cam channel under my name that discusses vintage, thrifting, books etc…. I’d love to hear back from you. Big hugs my friend! ❤️🍄❤️

      Thank you for the kind words and taking the time to reply. Before it was too painful to read this book but I plan on getting to it this summer. Would live to read it before the movie comes out. It's funny because Where the Crawdads Sing is not a book my dad would typically pick up. He was very much a non-fiction (science, nature, history) reader but said he saw it on a book list and thought it sounded good. Anyway, thank you for giving me the nudge to pick it up and think about my dad while reading it. I know their will be tears! Sorry that you too have experienced the loss of a parent. It leaves such a hole in one's life.
      I will definitely check out your channel. Sounds like something I would enjoy!

    I’d highly recommend the beautiful and uplifting ‘Enchanted April’ by Elizabeth Van Armin. It takes you back to Italy in the 1920’s with three women who are suffering from neglect, loveless relationships and a feeling of hopelessness. They then travel to a castle in Italy and life starts to transform. It surrounds me with the hope that I can open up to new possibilities, friendship and that the power of love can melt even the stoniest of hearts. Enjoy xx

My mom was watching it back then and now I'm watching it, it's totally timeless, I bought all the dvd's from a garage sale just in case it's not on Netflix anymore one day. Where are the Dawson's Creek enthousiasts?? I'm so happy it's getting recognition here 😆

    I've struggled appreciating summer in the past as well. In the middle of July last year I moved from southern California to middle Ga to live with my long distance partner. Now summer has a really special place in my heart! I can't believe I missed hearing the cicadas and I'm so happy they're back. I'm so excited to enjoy summer, thank you for all this inspo

    I do really struggle with enjoying summer, as I’ve got older I sometimes forget how to romanticise it, like I did when I was a child, I just wanted to say how much you’ve helped me get out of my head and enjoy being in the moment ❤️

    Thank you so much Desi for all of these recommendations ✨💕 although I practically dislike summer the most 😓
    Our beloved summer is one drama that's so nice for summer ☀️🌡
    Btw! Congratulations on passing 200k! I'm really so happy for you and waiting so impatiently for 1M 🎊🎂
    I really do miss the cottagecore and aesthetic videos here, I love them more because they are the main reason I found about your channel a little more than a year ago, and it was my favourite thing that happened! I remember that I spent the entire day watching your videos, after I stumbled across the "How to romanticize your life" video and I'm not gonna lie, but whenever I miss you and your videos, I just watch them all over again. You have no idea how your sprinkle joy and happiness, calmness and kindness into us. I wish you always to be happy and pure as you are. Thank you for being here for us and I hope you'll be sparkling the joy for us always with the beautiful videos you make. 💕

    Thank you so much for all your recommendations! I have made a Summer to do list a few days ago and can now add a few more points to it, super excited to enjoy this Summer as much as I can. The weather in England can be pretty unpredictable so I try to make the most out of any ray of sunshine that comes my way. Love your videos so much, your passion shines through and is very infectious!

    Hey Desi. Thanks so much for your recommendations. I get a bit overwhelmed by summer too, but I'm feeling inspired to dig into it in a more intentional way this year. I love your joyful vibe and also your vulnerability in stating that you don't always feel great but make the effort necessary to change that up. It's a great message for us all. I love your hair like this... but also loved it longer and red. ❤ Happy summer. xo karen

    This year is my first year driving. I have a little green sage fiat 500 and it feels so vintage to drive! This makes me feel so happy this summer, I’m 37 and took a long while to get here driving. Every time I get in the car I feel so excited and play inspiring imaginative music and drive along the coast where I live. I live on a coastal island called the Isle of Wight in the uk. Queen Victoria used to live here and there is alot of Victorian era buildings here

The movie recommendations are some of my favorites. Dirty Dancing is always my sister and my go to for summer, along with Mama Mia. By the way, I'm a grandmother of 2 wonderful grandkids and I still try to embrace my inner child. It helps that my grandson just graduated 2nd grade. Looking forward to your next wonderful video Desi!
