@@DarlingDesi I was also enjoying Jared being featured, the way he talks has an engaging, yet calming quality for some reason! And you two together are just such a charismatic couple 😊🧡
I love that Jared is so into you, and is willing to help you with and appear in your videos! He is so supportive! You guys are absolutely adorable together
Technically my husband's story but it still creeps me out: One summer when I was pregnant, I was craving a milkshake, so he went out to get me one, realized he forgot his wallet, so he pulled into a parking lot to turn around. He looked down to grab his phone to call me and when he looked back up, he saw these two little kids right outside the car window with these black eyes (like the Black Eyed Children legend). He floored it out of there. At the same time, I was sitting on the porch and suddenly it got really quiet and spooky. We live in the south, so it's never quiet during summer evenings (crickets, frogs, cicadas). I still think about it all these years later.
I have one spooky story I experienced recently just last summer. My brother, my parents, and I were staying at my sister's place with her boyfriend and two beautiful little nephews. One night while we were sleeping I would say around 2 in the morning I heard a loud noise like a little baby child crying. I thought it was one of my nephews so I didn't think much and just fell back asleep. The next day my sister asked if I heard the cry last night and my brother and I replied that we had. She said she checked both of the boys when she heard the noise and they were both fast asleep which is odd. And she told me this wasn't the first time that happened hearing children crying that wasn't her own. And there were other occasions I swore I heard other noise like out of nowhere knockings and distinct whispers like a soft woman's voice saying ''help me''. In other words, I was freaked out but not surprised because there was an actual cemetery next to her neighborhood. As much as I love her I was glad we only had a few more days at her haunted place.
Darling Desi is such a fitting name because you are such a darling! I'm so glad I found your channel. From now on, I will be watching your channel year after year to get in the autumnal mood. I'm all for it!!!! ❤
You two are so cute, you've made my day. I'm home sick and this sweet video has helped cheer me up. Thankyou for being the most joyfull, uplifting youtuber.
Last week has been huge tragedy for me and my family because my Grandma died... in a very tragic way, too, in hands of horrible doctors... so i'm grieving, and will be for the rest of my life, but previous months i planned to make the most out of fall this year because i was hoping grandma would be better... i still wanna be mindful and joyful about this year's fall experience and myself. For those of u who are grieving right now, sending my condolences and best wishes (to myself, too). I have a hard time wrapping my head around this tragedy😞 but anyway, i won't beat myself up for wanting to enjoy autumn. And neither should u 💔💔💜 wish u the best🥺
My mom died unexpectedly one spring. I still enjoyed it as much as I could. The priest at the funeral encouraged us to feel joy along with the sorrow, and not push away happiness and joy if we got the chance to feel it. I took that to heart.
@@KH-hr5xm u are so right... bad death circumstances kind of get in the way of pure composure... and i'm not surprised of course, it's just been a week, but I think enjoying every season with the memory of a loved one is the only right way🥺💔💖
I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my younger sister suddenly this past April the same week as our late grandma's bday, so this is our family's first fall(which is also my favorite season) without her. I definitely agree on continuing to enjoy the seasons, especially your favorite in her memory. Its important to grieve as it shows the love you had for her, but its also important to not let it consume you completely. Its easier said than done, but you can do it ❤
Long story short we visited a small graveyard in a small town, I like looking at the old inscriptions, most of the graves are from the early 1800s and then there is a newer section, we just passed the old section and I noticed a vase with tattered old flowers in it so I stood it up on the closet grave, walked a step & it fell down, so I checked that it was even headstone & popped it up again, fell down, I then noticed it was eerie quiet and still, trees weren’t moving so no breeze, so I moved it to the grass part of the grave, a gush of wind came and the vase tumbled over, I had goosebumps, I nervously laughed and said out loud ‘wrong grave?!’ And stood it on the headstone behind - and the vase stood perfectly secure. Another time I feel asleep and woke up feeling a pressure that someone had sat on my bed, I was too scared to open my eyes, and then felt pressure on my ankle - this weird pressure thing happened a few times when I was in bed - I found out later that there was a trapdoor under my bed and a whole other dug out ‘house’ through the trapdoor (this was a old miners house - in Australia)! Spooky indeed!
Ok when I saw that photo, I literally got chills from head to toes. And Jared’s story brought memories of when I was about 5 or 6 ( I’m 69 now and will never forget this) we lived across the street from a cemetery. My mother put us to bed and closed our door. As the door closed I saw a figure in a long black coat with a black hat on. He never moved and then just disappeared. I don’t recall being afraid though. If it happened now I’d be petrified. Love this video of the 2 of you doing things together. You should do more like this. Happy Halloween 🎃☠️👻
Whether casual or cinematic, your videos are a welcomed treat! I really appreciate your creativity and your effort. Also love when Jared makes a cameo appearance lol! You two are adorable together! Happy October! 🍭 🎃 🍁
Looks spooktastic, Desi 🎃 My spooky story happened when I was 3-4 years old. I was pretty fearless, and I was born certain abilities. It happened in my first childhood home, I was going to bed. I looked inside the nursery - my brothers and I shared it - the window was open, no wind outside, but the curtain was moving a lot. I stood in the hallway watching it, and I saw something moving the curtain. Then I blurted something out like: "Go away, you're not welcome, I mean it!" Then it stopped. I believe that evening was my first encounter with the supernatural, and I took it like a champ. Like I said fearless
I've had a few spooky things happen in my life but here's the one that hit the hardest. Mom was home under hospice care. It was October and we both shared a love of Halloween so the bay window in our living room was festive with lights. (We had them on a timer.) A week before Halloween the lights stopped working. Mom passed on the afternoon of Oct 31 and the lights went on that night.
I have a lot, but I can definitely relate to Jerad’s black figure. It only happened to me once with this one. I had a night light on at the end of my bed and had my dog sleeping with me. I woke up from her moving she was wagging her tail like she was excited to see someone. I look in the direction she was which was at the end of the bed with the night light on. it was a solid black figure of a woman! It was spooky! I made sure I was awake. I didn’t feel like she was bad. Especially with my dog being friendly about her. I said hi then she was gone!😱
Ohh spooky story, okay, I was once travelling at night, on a scooty, getting back home, there was a row of trees on my left, and when turned my head to look casually, i saw one of the trees was like a Y shape, and on the devide in centre was someone siting on that tree wearing that classic really light pink color hospital dressing gown, with hairs open, and then i couldn't see again, cuz we were going fast, so we away now. Also you two are so cutee!!!!
Spooky story, similar experience to Jared: When I was 5 or 6, I woke in the middle of the night to see what I can only describe as a shadow of a man standing in my bedroom doorway. He had his feet crossed and was leaning on my doorframe. I was scared, so I called out for my dad. When my dad came into my room, the figure moved into the hallway. My dad comforted me and went back to bed. As soon as my dad left, the figure moved back into my doorway. I just pulled my blanket over my head and grabbed hard onto a stuffed animal and went back to sleep. I’ve always thought since then that it was a relative of mine who had passed close to that time
Eating the pumpkin pie I baked yesterday as a celebration of October, drinking chai tea and watching this. My ginger pumpkin cat cuddling me. What else could one wish for? Happy fall to my fellow cozy soulmates and Desi the queen of Autumn ❤
Your videos and attitude towards seasons have actually changed my life. That probably sounds dramatic but you have helped me have more joy in each season! Sadly my life is too chaotic with work and school to celebrate October 1st 😢 yesterday was October first here and I spent the day driving, working, scrambling to submit assignments. I hope someday my life is more flexible and I can choose my busy days. ❤
I absolutely LOVE watching you and Jared! You guys are so cute and perfect together!! You bring such a smile to my face watching how much you both are in sync with each other!
I’ve had night terrors like Jared as well! When I have a lot of extra stress in my life it starts happening! The first time was when my dad was diagnosed with cancer. I would scream so loud my entire family would wake up and come to my room. And yes it’s always a cloaked figure standing near me! It’s happened in different rooms in my parents house as well as at different apartments I’ve lived in… always when stress levels are quite high
Thank you so much for this casual vlog. So nice! - Jared's story is interesting. I had a young man sitting at my bed (where the feet are) for years. Just sitting. Sometimes I could send him away, but he was there almost every night as if to watch over me. It was weird but I was never afraid. The moment I came to faith he stopped showing up. I don't think he was evil, rather a guardian angel whose protection was no longer needed. - The recipes are so great. Thank you!
Oh my gosh ! I love all your videos but this one was the best ! Loved that it was less cinematic (as you said) though those are also amazing... but this one was just 1000% cozyness. Loved that Jared was in it so much... seeing you guys together makes me want to call my hubby at work and tell him how much I love him ❤
Here's my spooky story! I was about 10 yrs old...sick, home from school. My mom had went to the store (my dad was at work), so I was home alone. I was laying on the floor watching tv...then all the sudden, very gently, I felt someone put their hand on my head...like a comforting pat...I thought it was my mom back from the store so I started talking to her (still looking at the tv), when she didn't reply..I looked up and no one was there. I yelled for my mom...looked for her buy she wasn't home. I called my dad at work (no cell phones back then) and told him what happened...he told me it was my guardian angel and not to be scared. Little did I know, my parents knew we had a ghost before that incident..but they weren't going to tell me that. Before this happened, I apparently told my mom on numerous occasions that I'd be playing in my room alone and someone kept scratching my head...I have no memory of that. Another time in the same house, my mom and I had left and my dad was home alone. Our bathroom was next to the stairway so you could hear if someone was walking on the stairs. So my dad was in the shower while we were gone and he said he heard someone run up the stairs, and running around in my bedroom above. He thought we came back home real quick...he thought it was me up there so he was calling for my mom and I but no answer. He was totally alone. Another time we all had just got home and my dad went into the bathroom and there was an open pair of scissors just laying on the floor. No one put them there...they didn't even belong in that room...they had been in the kitchen drawer. My mom thought it was the ghost of her mom checking up on me. She had died when my mom was young so she never met me. All those occurrences didn't begin until my mom gave me a small cabinet to play kitchen with...the cabinet belonged to her mother. So one day while I was at school, my mom and her sister, were in my room and they told the ghost to leave...nothing strange happened after that. My mom still has that cabinet and recently asked me if I wanted it to give to my daughter...I told her no way! 🎃🧡🖤
The re-watch have started 😊This morning my hubby took the morning shift with our twins allowing me a bit of a sleep in. As I was awake I re-watched your video. It was the best, made me feel so cozy and warm... the best way to wake up ❤ Thank you !
Guys!! I loved this video!! the dark stories, the recipes, everything!! I have a story... when I was a child, I was sleeping and in the middle of the night I felt someone touch me hard with their pointed finger on my head. I literally imagined the finger of a witch with long nails. I raised my head, thinking it was my sister waking me up to go to school but I realized it was very dark and she was not there. I just remember seeing an Amcian woman standing at the door of my bedroom, wearing a mustard-colored coat and a red turtleneck sweater and black boots. She looked at me in a peaceful and tender way but I was terrified and got under the blankets. I think I fainted because I don't remember anything else after that. Happy Halloween Eve 🎃
Ahhh👀💀👻 its like 2:30am when I see the video drop and I happily started watching while im up feeding my baby. But then it got to the scary stories part and I'm such a scaredey cat I can't 😅 had to skip that part and turn on the himilayan salt lamp 😂 didn't even get like a minute into Jared's story when I was like nope nope nope not while its dark in here ⚰️ saving that one for the light of day 😂
This video was delightful!! I really enjoy you by yourself but also the two of you have such a great, easy dynamic that is fun to watch and that I appreciate. You two are adorable. As are the cats!! Hahaha! The spooky stories you each told were a really fun touch! I loved the "bakeoff" and then how you finished the night all cozy with candy, fall-flavoured popcorn, and your baked treats. It's really great that Jared helps with the decorating and gets involved. My husband and I don't get to see each other a lot because of work, but when we do, it's mostly in the evening. We have a thing where when we say bye in the morning, it's like, "Meet me on the couch," and then we have snacks and watch a show or movie together (usually he ends up falling asleep, but at least we're together...). Anyway, I really like that you guys share cozy time together as a regular ritual, not just as something you might do for a video. Thank you for making this and sharing!
I shouldn’t be reading all these spooky stories just before going to bed, but I do have a few of my own 🙈 One time I was home alone washing the dishes and suddenly the TV went on, very loud and it was some crazy music. I ran straight up to my phone so I could call my husband and the TV went off. It happened again a few days later… Also, I was in first grade at my grandparents house and I was practicing my writing while suddenly I could feel like a hand guiding my own hand. I thought it was my grandmother but she was in the kitchen. I instantly felt like it was my guardian angel ❤️
This was such a lovely video! I'm definitely going to be having nightmares about Jared's spooky experience. 😮 This is such a fun tradition to make the beginning of October its own holiday! 🍁 Love you guys, and Happy October!
What happened to Jared has happened to me too!! Just a few months ago I woke up in a panic because I felt like there was a man standing over me while I was sleeping. I **immediately** ran out of the room terrified. I had been feeling like there was something moving the blankets near my feet in my room for months prior to this. I have now had my house blessed and have holy oil on hand 😂😂. So scary! Loved this video!! So fun to watch you two together. 🎃
About 30 years ago, I too woke up suddenly around 3 AM, with my heart pounding and in a full panic. I glanced at my open bedroom door to see a dark figure standing there. I couldn't make out any features, it was like a silhouette in the doorway. I blinked several times and said something like "why are you here?". Then I rubbed my eyes to try to see better, and it was gone. It just freaked me out hearing Jared describe exactly what I experienced all those years ago.
I’ll be filming a lot more than just one! We won’t be moving to England until February/March (but that could change depending on how long the process continues to take) so I’ll be filming all the autumn videos this year here in New England ☺️
Yeees!!! I couldn't wait for it! Your videos make me feel so present in the moment. When I feel that I am already overstimulated from to much social media and can't get off my phone, I rewatch one of your videos to calm myself and get motivated and put away my phone. Thank you!♥️ Best wishes from Vienna!
This was so fun to watch! I love your vlogs just as much as your sit down videos! All of the baking goods look delicious and now I'm craving Reese's pieces lol!! Also Binx and Gatsby, *chefs kiss* classic cat moments if I ever saw one, or two. Or more. Lol
I don’t want this vlog to end. I love when you two make vlogs together. It’s like best best BEST friends having a magical time together…I love you guys. ❤
Desi. We’re going through the hurricane that just hit in western North Carolina. October is my birthday month and your videos are what I wait for ❤️ thank you for putting a little happy in my day!
Same! Stay safe, fellow Carolinian! Our little town is devastated. :'( I am so happy to have this video today and have a bit of normalcy for a few minutes.
I absolutely love this style of video that you did. It was so cozy and I love seeing your husband in the video with you. It’s so fun when I get to see both of you guys together! I have a family of seven so when I watch your videos, it makes me feel like I wanna do something by myself. But When I see you with your husband, I’m like yeah I can do so many fun things with my whole family. If that makes any sense. Anywho I also absolutely adore the spooky stories!
I love this format! I often like to listen to cozy talking videos while doing chores around the house so this was perfect since I could still understand things without watching the whole time
I love this casual style video. It’s great also to have Jared in the video. We love seeing videos with you two together. You guys are the cutest couple!
i’m so glad jared was a more active part of this bc he’s genuinely so entertaining and y’all are so cute together! looking forward to more fall videos!!
I have so many ghost stories that i keep in a journal. One was when my sisters and I were at a sleepover and that night so many weird things happened. One was my pillow was kept being pulled and the other was talking like a group saying various things like "lets wake them up", "where is Iris", and laughing. The other story was i was chatting with a friend at my church and looked over into the hallway and there i saw a young boy like 10 dressed in an altar boy attire just standing there. I thought was dreaming and it was fake but when i looked over he was gone.
Fun! Love seeing you two together (more Jared!) and your fur babies. Your videos, in any form, never disappoint! I’m inspired to romanticize this month in every way. Thank you and happy spooky month! ♥️👻🎃
So happy to habe 2 videos in one week. About 19 years ago I was walking to the bus stop to run some errands it was a really windy day and a plastic turtle sandbox started to blow down the road behind me, didn't pay much attention but anytime I'd stop walking for whatever reason it would stop too. It followed me down the road for about 1\2 a mile when I crossed the street it crossed with me it stayed with me wholetime. It was creepy but funny as well
This video is perfection !🍂 RUclips nostalgia hit me hard with a longing for less edited, more spontaneous videos which feel like hanging out with friends
I never really write comments, but now I have to. OMG I love that you´re currently learning German 😍. I´m from Germany and I´m in love with English literature. Watching your videos about books and reading always makes me feel cozy. Hearing that you´re interested in my mother tongue feels like a little compliment to me, it makes me so happy. Loved the autumn vibes here, also with Jared in the video :)
Spooky story time 😀 For me this actually happened in winter. I went for a walk and it was pretty late, but I love walking in winter through the snow during the night. At some point I started hearing this eerie music and of course, cause that what one does, I followed the music into the woods to the lake. 😂 And I kept following that sound while it got a little louder, until I came out at a little clearing with a burial mound. I still don’t really know where the music was coming from, maybe it was just a cottage nearby. But I swear, it felt like it came from that mound. That really left an impression with me. I still go to that burial mound often and leave flowers and little trinkets. 🤎
One of my favorite videos of yours!❤ So nice to see Jared & the furbabies too!🐈👩❤️👨🐈 👻I have had a lot of spooky things happen to me, but a short story would be when I was at college, it was said that our Arts building was haunted. One night, I was practicing singing/playing piano alone in room number 13 (no joke) when my chair was mysteriously yanked back! I was like ok, time to go to rehearsal! It was bad enough I had to practice playing the pipe organ in the back of a storage room, but I had to carry a flash light because the power would always go off!😱
I believe Jared 100%! I have had MANY of these experiences throughout my 55 years… my husband of 37 years is still not used to it when it happens. I believe there are angels (watchers) and demons… beings in other realms that have a way of intersecting our realm. Sometimes we catch glimpses. I have NO idea as to the WHY of it, but I KNOW it’s real.
I loved this style of editing almost as much as your cinematic videos, you should definitely make more of these in the future. And definitely we loved seeing Jared in there, you guys are just so sweet together.
Desi i hope you see this! I just wanted to say your videos are what bring me peace. Ive got the flu just recently and have anxiety aswell and today I was feeling really rubbish and then saw this video and my mindset has completely changed. I feel so much better about life now and feel less alone. Thankyou from the bottom of my heart ❤
October is my favorite season too! Im from a small town near Chicago, and due to the weather the trees are still green! I still go with my dog for walks through our local forest preserves to take pictures of fall colors and try to do something spooky esque each day 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Amazing content as always Desi! Really enjoyed the relaxed chatty feel of this video, felt like spending an evening with friends. Loved seeing more of Jared too, he's such a natural in front of the camera, and so great to see how he supports your seasonal traditions. Couple goals!
Cant explain how thankfull i am for your videos. I enjoy living thru them and enjoying halloween fall vibes in country that doesnt celebrate it. Thank you for sharing your love of this type of year. ❤❤❤ ( wish i had a place to buy some of those fun fall sweets and decorations 💔)
Have been waiting for long time. Glad to have this video. I already know it's fabulous. Thanks for being a relief in my busy study days, Desi!❤ Loads of love
Sooooo cozy, one of my favorite videos of yours! I love it so much when it's so warm, safe, cozy, chatty and with Jared. It's just all so lovely! Thank you for this beautiful video, it made me feel alive again 💖
I kicked off October 1st by wearing a festive Halloween shirt, eating pumpkin donuts for breakfast, going for a morning walk in the chill air/perfect overcast skies and giving my kids Boo Buckets!...But let me tell you all a spooky story!! Not my story, but my Dad's... When my Dad was in middle school, his older brother tragically passed away in a car accident. It was only a week later, but life had to go on. My Dad had just returned home after school. He was the only one there. He had just sat down on the couch and then heard music playing, but not just any song. It was his late brother’s favorite song. The melody drifted down the stairs and my Dad curiously followed it up. His brother’s door was cracked open, which seemed odd since his Mom had been keeping it shut since he died. Confused, and maybe a little scared, my Dad went in. The record player was on. Dad tried to rationalize it all, thinking that if the vinyl had been left in place and the on/off switch (which was very finicky and known to randomly turn on if not fully moved over) turned on as it sometimes did, with the left needle overtop…maybe, just maybe, a shift in the old house could have made the needle fall and make it start playing. So my Dad put on a brave face and turned off the record player, making sure it was firmly off, and moved the needle over. He left the room and was halfway down the stairs, when the music began to play yet again. Scared out of his wits, he ran down and into the kitchen. The music skipped and scratched in that eerie way that only a record player can, till it stopped a moment later. That’s when the phone rang. Trying to catch his breath and not act like a scared child (mind you he was only 12), he answered the phone. At first, all he heard was static, but then the all too familiar tune of his brother’s favorite song began to play. Scared beyond reason, he ran out the back door and waited on the driveway till his Mom came home. He told her everything that happened, but she simply brushed it off. Saying that he was either hearing things or trying to tease her. The music never played again. Many decades later, my Dad now thinks back on this and likes to believe that his brother was saying goodbye before moving on. ....Well, Happy October everyone!!!
Really enjoyed this format too, Jared being part of video was lovely to see, very wholesome 🧡🎃
I’ve just read him your comment ☺️ He’s so glad you enjoyed his involvement in this one!!☺️
@@DarlingDesi It was sooo fun having him in the video!!

Same!! More Jared!
I love how active you are through the fall season. We feel how much you get inspired by autumn 🍁🍂
It’s so true honestly. I feel like I could film 2 videos a week and never run out of ideas. I love this season 🥹
Wonderful I feel you definitely thrive in autumn Desi 💕 best wishes for this new month @@DarlingDesi
@@DarlingDesiand we’ll be anxiously waiting for each and every one!! 🍁🍁🍂🍄🍄
I love that Jared is so into you, and is willing to help you with and appear in your videos! He is so supportive! You guys are absolutely adorable together
He’s my best friend!! He really loves being involved with filming, the sweatshirts, the planning and everything involved. I’m so grateful for him! 🧡
Love how Jared keeps stabbing the pumpkin knife at us during his story, really adds to it 😂
Noticed that and I felt uncomfortable but admittedly it added to the scary story hehe
More casual? Yes please! ❤😍 And I love that Jared wants to film with you! You're so cute together!
I'd love to see that
I'm still not done watching, but wanted to say I really like this style of video. Also, nice to get more Jared content! Thank you. 🎃👻🍁
I’m so glad you liked it!! I want to try and throw in these more casual/vloggy videos every now and then ☺️
@@DarlingDesiyesssss this type of content is the best with also your wonderful cinematic videos
Technically my husband's story but it still creeps me out: One summer when I was pregnant, I was craving a milkshake, so he went out to get me one, realized he forgot his wallet, so he pulled into a parking lot to turn around.

We live in the south, so it's never quiet during summer evenings (crickets, frogs, cicadas). I still think about it all these years later.
two videos from you in a week? we’ve been blessed! ✨🍁
And there’s still more to come 👀
@@DarlingDesi😮 you spoil us lol
I have one spooky story I experienced recently just last summer. My brother, my parents, and I were staying at my sister's place with her boyfriend and two beautiful little nephews. One night while we were sleeping I would say around 2 in the morning I heard a loud noise like a little baby child crying. I thought it was one of my nephews so I didn't think much and just fell back asleep. The next day my sister asked if I heard the cry last night and my brother and I replied that we had. She said she checked both of the boys when she heard the noise and they were both fast asleep which is odd. And she told me this wasn't the first time that happened hearing children crying that wasn't her own. And there were other occasions I swore I heard other noise like out of nowhere knockings and distinct whispers like a soft woman's voice saying ''help me''. In other words, I was freaked out but not surprised because there was an actual cemetery next to her neighborhood. As much as I love her I was glad we only had a few more days at her haunted place.
We hear coyotes regularly that sound like our kids crying. It is a bone chilling sound.
Darling Desi is such a fitting name because you are such a darling! I'm so glad I found your channel. From now on, I will be watching your channel year after year to get in the autumnal mood. I'm all for it!!!! ❤
Aww thank you for saying that 🥹🫶🏻
You two are so cute, you've made my day. I'm home sick and this sweet video has helped cheer me up. Thankyou for being the most joyfull, uplifting youtuber.
Get weel soon! I am also sick and this video made me feel a bit better :)
Same !! ❤️🩹❤️🩹
@@Peanut_taco_muffinyou've got this❤
Last week has been huge tragedy for me and my family because my Grandma died... in a very tragic way, too, in hands of horrible doctors... so i'm grieving, and will be for the rest of my life, but previous months i planned to make the most out of fall this year because i was hoping grandma would be better... i still wanna be mindful and joyful about this year's fall experience and myself. For those of u who are grieving right now, sending my condolences and best wishes (to myself, too). I have a hard time wrapping my head around this tragedy😞 but anyway, i won't beat myself up for wanting to enjoy autumn. And neither should u 💔💔💜 wish u the best🥺
So sorry to hear this! May you find comfort in what makes you happy and keeping your Grandmother close!❤
My mom died unexpectedly one spring. I still enjoyed it as much as I could. The priest at the funeral encouraged us to feel joy along with the sorrow, and not push away happiness and joy if we got the chance to feel it. I took that to heart.
@@Allysunmoonstar thanks so much... my heart melted 💜💜
@@KH-hr5xm u are so right... bad death circumstances kind of get in the way of pure composure... and i'm not surprised of course, it's just been a week, but I think enjoying every season with the memory of a loved one is the only right way🥺💔💖

I definitely agree on continuing to enjoy the seasons, especially your favorite in her memory.

Long story short we visited a small graveyard in a small town, I like looking at the old inscriptions, most of the graves are from the early 1800s and then there is a newer section, we just passed the old section and I noticed a vase with tattered old flowers in it so I stood it up on the closet grave, walked a step & it fell down, so I checked that it was even headstone & popped it up again, fell down, I then noticed it was eerie quiet and still, trees weren’t moving so no breeze, so I moved it to the grass part of the grave, a gush of wind came and the vase tumbled over, I had goosebumps, I nervously laughed and said out loud ‘wrong grave?!’ And stood it on the headstone behind - and the vase stood perfectly secure.
Another time I feel asleep and woke up feeling a pressure that someone had sat on my bed, I was too scared to open my eyes, and then felt pressure on my ankle - this weird pressure thing happened a few times when I was in bed - I found out later that there was a trapdoor under my bed and a whole other dug out ‘house’ through the trapdoor (this was a old miners house - in Australia)! Spooky indeed!
You two are so adorable together! Love seeing Jared so involved in front of the camera!! Have a magical Autumn! 🍂 🎃
I’ll tell Jared what you said! I think he had a lot of fun! ☺️
Ok when I saw that photo, I literally got chills from head to toes. And Jared’s story brought memories of when I was about 5 or 6 ( I’m 69 now and will never forget this) we lived across the street from a cemetery. My mother put us to bed and closed our door. As the door closed I saw a figure in a long black coat with a black hat on. He never moved and then just disappeared. I don’t recall being afraid though. If it happened now I’d be petrified. Love this video of the 2 of you doing things together. You should do more like this. Happy Halloween 🎃☠️👻
Great video! - Jared's spooky story feeling is called " hypnagogic hallucinations" very common and harmless - but at the time extremely scary.
It’s so refreshing getting to see more of Jared! Y’all are such a sweet couple, I hope you do more videos together 🤗
I’ll tell him you said that! 🥰🧡 Thank you!!
Whether casual or cinematic, your videos are a welcomed treat! I really appreciate your creativity and your effort. Also love when Jared makes a cameo appearance lol! You two are adorable together! Happy October! 🍭 🎃 🍁
Thank you for saying that!! 🥹🧡🫶🏻
I love that Jered is so willing to do stuff with you, that he enjoys what you do. What a fun way to ring in spooky season! 👻
Amazing video Darling,much love from Germany 🌰🥜🍄🍂🍁
Thank you!! Sending you all my love! 🧡
@@DarlingDesi ❤️❤️❤️
The both of you are two pumpkins in a patch made for each other🥰🎃🎃
Looks spooktastic, Desi 🎃
My spooky story happened when I was 3-4 years old. I was pretty fearless, and I was born certain abilities. It happened in my first childhood home, I was going to bed. I looked inside the nursery - my brothers and I shared it - the window was open, no wind outside, but the curtain was moving a lot. I stood in the hallway watching it, and I saw something moving the curtain. Then I blurted something out like: "Go away, you're not welcome, I mean it!" Then it stopped. I believe that evening was my first encounter with the supernatural, and I took it like a champ. Like I said fearless
I've had a few spooky things happen in my life but here's the one that hit the hardest. Mom was home under hospice care. It was October and we both shared a love of Halloween so the bay window in our living room was festive with lights. (We had them on a timer.) A week before Halloween the lights stopped working. Mom passed on the afternoon of Oct 31 and the lights went on that night.
I have a lot, but I can definitely relate to Jerad’s black figure. It only happened to me once with this one. I had a night light on at the end of my bed and had my dog sleeping with me. I woke up from her moving she was wagging her tail like she was excited to see someone. I look in the direction she was which was at the end of the bed with the night light on. it was a solid black figure of a woman! It was spooky! I made sure I was awake. I didn’t feel like she was bad. Especially with my dog being friendly about her. I said hi then she was gone!😱
Ohh spooky story, okay, I was once travelling at night, on a scooty, getting back home, there was a row of trees on my left, and when turned my head to look casually, i saw one of the trees was like a Y shape, and on the devide in centre was someone siting on that tree wearing that classic really light pink color hospital dressing gown, with hairs open, and then i couldn't see again, cuz we were going fast, so we away now.
Also you two are so cutee!!!!
Spooky story, similar experience to Jared: When I was 5 or 6, I woke in the middle of the night to see what I can only describe as a shadow of a man standing in my bedroom doorway. He had his feet crossed and was leaning on my doorframe. I was scared, so I called out for my dad. When my dad came into my room, the figure moved into the hallway. My dad comforted me and went back to bed. As soon as my dad left, the figure moved back into my doorway. I just pulled my blanket over my head and grabbed hard onto a stuffed animal and went back to sleep. I’ve always thought since then that it was a relative of mine who had passed close to that time
Eating the pumpkin pie I baked yesterday as a celebration of October, drinking chai tea and watching this. My ginger pumpkin cat cuddling me. What else could one wish for? Happy fall to my fellow cozy soulmates and Desi the queen of Autumn ❤
How cute are you two?! Love the October Eve vibes so much 🎃✨
Your videos and attitude towards seasons have actually changed my life. That probably sounds dramatic but you have helped me have more joy in each season! Sadly my life is too chaotic with work and school to celebrate October 1st 😢 yesterday was October first here and I spent the day driving, working, scrambling to submit assignments. I hope someday my life is more flexible and I can choose my busy days. ❤
I absolutely LOVE watching you and Jared! You guys are so cute and perfect together!! You bring such a smile to my face watching how much you both are in sync with each other!
lol "Gateby!" As he knocks over something. 😂
It was a wood cutting board in the kitchen. Thankfully nothing breakable 😅
I’ve had night terrors like Jared as well! When I have a lot of extra stress in my life it starts happening! The first time was when my dad was diagnosed with cancer. I would scream so loud my entire family would wake up and come to my room. And yes it’s always a cloaked figure standing near me! It’s happened in different rooms in my parents house as well as at different apartments I’ve lived in… always when stress levels are quite high
Thank you so much for this casual vlog. So nice! - Jared's story is interesting. I had a young man sitting at my bed (where the feet are) for years. Just sitting. Sometimes I could send him away, but he was there almost every night as if to watch over me. It was weird but I was never afraid. The moment I came to faith he stopped showing up. I don't think he was evil, rather a guardian angel whose protection was no longer needed. - The recipes are so great. Thank you!
Oh my gosh ! I love all your videos but this one was the best ! Loved that it was less cinematic (as you said) though those are also amazing... but this one was just 1000% cozyness. Loved that Jared was in it so much... seeing you guys together makes me want to call my hubby at work and tell him how much I love him ❤
Definitely one that I'll be watching and re-watching every time I want to feel cozy 🤗
Here's my spooky story! I was about 10 yrs old...sick, home from school. My mom had went to the store (my dad was at work), so I was home alone. I was laying on the floor watching tv...then all the sudden, very gently, I felt someone put their hand on my head...like a comforting pat...I thought it was my mom back from the store so I started talking to her (still looking at the tv), when she didn't reply..I looked up and no one was there. I yelled for my mom...looked for her buy she wasn't home. I called my dad at work (no cell phones back then) and told him what happened...he told me it was my guardian angel and not to be scared. Little did I know, my parents knew we had a ghost before that incident..but they weren't going to tell me that. Before this happened, I apparently told my mom on numerous occasions that I'd be playing in my room alone and someone kept scratching my head...I have no memory of that. Another time in the same house, my mom and I had left and my dad was home alone. Our bathroom was next to the stairway so you could hear if someone was walking on the stairs. So my dad was in the shower while we were gone and he said he heard someone run up the stairs, and running around in my bedroom above. He thought we came back home real quick...he thought it was me up there so he was calling for my mom and I but no answer. He was totally alone. Another time we all had just got home and my dad went into the bathroom and there was an open pair of scissors just laying on the floor. No one put them there...they didn't even belong in that room...they had been in the kitchen drawer. My mom thought it was the ghost of her mom checking up on me. She had died when my mom was young so she never met me. All those occurrences didn't begin until my mom gave me a small cabinet to play kitchen with...the cabinet belonged to her mother. So one day while I was at school, my mom and her sister, were in my room and they told the ghost to leave...nothing strange happened after that. My mom still has that cabinet and recently asked me if I wanted it to give to my daughter...I told her no way! 🎃🧡🖤
The re-watch have started 😊This morning my hubby took the morning shift with our twins allowing me a bit of a sleep in. As I was awake I re-watched your video. It was the best, made me feel so cozy and warm... the best way to wake up ❤ Thank you !
Guys!! I loved this video!! the dark stories, the recipes, everything!! I have a story... when I was a child, I was sleeping and in the middle of the night I felt someone touch me hard with their pointed finger on my head. I literally imagined the finger of a witch with long nails. I raised my head, thinking it was my sister waking me up to go to school but I realized it was very dark and she was not there. I just remember seeing an Amcian woman standing at the door of my bedroom, wearing a mustard-colored coat and a red turtleneck sweater and black boots. She looked at me in a peaceful and tender way but I was terrified and got under the blankets. I think I fainted because I don't remember anything else after that. Happy Halloween Eve 🎃
Omg that's really strange and creepy
Ahhh👀💀👻 its like 2:30am when I see the video drop and I happily started watching while im up feeding my baby. But then it got to the scary stories part and I'm such a scaredey cat I can't 😅 had to skip that part and turn on the himilayan salt lamp 😂 didn't even get like a minute into Jared's story when I was like nope nope nope not while its dark in here ⚰️ saving that one for the light of day 😂
😂😂❤ awww I can't really do spooky super scary things either
Obsessed with the casual style - so fun!!
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I want to continue to throw in some casual chatty videos between the more cinematic ones 🥰
This video was delightful!! I really enjoy you by yourself but also the two of you have such a great, easy dynamic that is fun to watch and that I appreciate. You two are adorable. As are the cats!! Hahaha! The spooky stories you each told were a really fun touch! I loved the "bakeoff" and then how you finished the night all cozy with candy, fall-flavoured popcorn, and your baked treats. It's really great that Jared helps with the decorating and gets involved. My husband and I don't get to see each other a lot because of work, but when we do, it's mostly in the evening. We have a thing where when we say bye in the morning, it's like, "Meet me on the couch," and then we have snacks and watch a show or movie together (usually he ends up falling asleep, but at least we're together...). Anyway, I really like that you guys share cozy time together as a regular ritual, not just as something you might do for a video. Thank you for making this and sharing!
Awww I love that phrase that you guys say to each other! That’s so cute 🥰
This is what I‘m waiting for🧡thank you for being such an inspiration!
Thanks for being my safeplace🎃
I shouldn’t be reading all these spooky stories just before going to bed, but I do have a few of my own 🙈 One time I was home alone washing the dishes and suddenly the TV went on, very loud and it was some crazy music. I ran straight up to my phone so I could call my husband and the TV went off. It happened again a few days later… Also, I was in first grade at my grandparents house and I was practicing my writing while suddenly I could feel like a hand guiding my own hand. I thought it was my grandmother but she was in the kitchen. I instantly felt like it was my guardian angel ❤️
This was such a lovely video! I'm definitely going to be having nightmares about Jared's spooky experience. 😮 This is such a fun tradition to make the beginning of October its own holiday! 🍁 Love you guys, and Happy October!
I slept with the light on the first night he told me these stories! 🫣 So so spooky! Thankfully it hasn’t happened at all since he was a teenager.
Ohhhh finallyyy first spooky video for octoberrrrrrr! 🎃🍂⚰🪄
What happened to Jared has happened to me too!! Just a few months ago I woke up in a panic because I felt like there was a man standing over me while I was sleeping. I **immediately** ran out of the room terrified. I had been feeling like there was something moving the blankets near my feet in my room for months prior to this. I have now had my house blessed and have holy oil on hand 😂😂. So scary!
Loved this video!! So fun to watch you two together. 🎃
12:18 when Desi turns around so fast to make her dessert I'm cracking up 😂 looks like a muppet body movement
agreed lol
This happened to my husband as well! He had a figure for a number of years in his childhood! 8:37 it still freaks him out to think about.
Yay!!! I can’t wait to watch this on this cold and crisp October morning. Thank you for what you do, Desi! 🧡♥️💛
About 30 years ago, I too woke up suddenly around 3 AM, with my heart pounding and in a full panic. I glanced at my open bedroom door to see a dark figure standing there. I couldn't make out any features, it was like a silhouette in the doorway. I blinked several times and said something like "why are you here?". Then I rubbed my eyes to try to see better, and it was gone. It just freaked me out hearing Jared describe exactly what I experienced all those years ago.
I’m so happy you guys were able to do one more Autumn video before you move to England. I love a New England Autumn. ❤😊
I’ll be filming a lot more than just one! We won’t be moving to England until February/March (but that could change depending on how long the process continues to take) so I’ll be filming all the autumn videos this year here in New England ☺️
Yeees!!! I couldn't wait for it! Your videos make me feel so present in the moment.
When I feel that I am already overstimulated from to much social media and can't get off my phone, I rewatch one of your videos to calm myself and get motivated and put away my phone. Thank you!♥️
Best wishes from Vienna!
This was so fun to watch! I love your vlogs just as much as your sit down videos! All of the baking goods look delicious and now I'm craving Reese's pieces lol!! Also Binx and Gatsby, *chefs kiss* classic cat moments if I ever saw one, or two. Or more. Lol
I don’t want this vlog to end. I love when you two make vlogs together. It’s like best best BEST friends having a magical time together…I love you guys. ❤
Desi. We’re going through the hurricane that just hit in western North Carolina. October is my birthday month and your videos are what I wait for ❤️ thank you for putting a little happy in my day!
Same! Stay safe, fellow Carolinian! Our little town is devastated. :'( I am so happy to have this video today and have a bit of normalcy for a few minutes.
I just love the dynamic between Jared and you 😍 also I love it that this video is more casual and vlog-like it´s a nice fresh switch up!
I absolutely love this style of video that you did. It was so cozy and I love seeing your husband in the video with you. It’s so fun when I get to see both of you guys together! I have a family of seven so when I watch your videos, it makes me feel like I wanna do something by myself. But When I see you with your husband, I’m like yeah I can do so many fun things with my whole family. If that makes any sense. Anywho I also absolutely adore the spooky stories!
I love this format! I often like to listen to cozy talking videos while doing chores around the house so this was perfect since I could still understand things without watching the whole time
I love this casual style video. It’s great also to have Jared in the video. We love seeing videos with you two together. You guys are the cutest couple!
i’m so glad jared was a more active part of this bc he’s genuinely so entertaining and y’all are so cute together! looking forward to more fall videos!!
This is my fave video you have ever done!! I love all the vibes 🎃🍂🍁🤎 Lot's of love from UK 🤎 Also!! Happy October 🤩🎃
Spooky Halloween greetings from Germany!! I love your videos so much, Desi! ❤
I feel like I just spent quality time with some of my besties. Desi and Jared, please do more videos like this. Happy October! 🍁🦉👻🎃
I loved this! Your cinematic vlogs are incredible but this cozy “hang out” style was just as lovely in its own way. Happy October 🎃
This was SO wholesome! I loved this format and Jared being so involved! The two of you just have the best energy!
Hallo Desi
Toll das Du deutsch lernst.
Ich mag Deine Videos wirklich sehr!!!
I have so many ghost stories that i keep in a journal. One was when my sisters and I were at a sleepover and that night so many weird things happened. One was my pillow was kept being pulled and the other was talking like a group saying various things like "lets wake them up", "where is Iris", and laughing. The other story was i was chatting with a friend at my church and looked over into the hallway and there i saw a young boy like 10 dressed in an altar boy attire just standing there. I thought was dreaming and it was fake but when i looked over he was gone.
Jared seems like such a genuine person! Its lovely to see him in your videos as well!🥰🍂
Fun! Love seeing you two together (more Jared!) and your fur babies. Your videos, in any form, never disappoint! I’m inspired to romanticize this month in every way. Thank you and happy spooky month! ♥️👻🎃
So happy to habe 2 videos in one week. About 19 years ago I was walking to the bus stop to run some errands it was a really windy day and a plastic turtle sandbox started to blow down the road behind me, didn't pay much attention but anytime I'd stop walking for whatever reason it would stop too. It followed me down the road for about 1\2 a mile when I crossed the street it crossed with me it stayed with me wholetime. It was creepy but funny as well
It was great. Felt as if I was invited to their house sitting across the table. More please
You and Jared both have such pleasant voices to listen to!! Lovely to hear from both of you in this video!!
This video is perfection !🍂 RUclips nostalgia hit me hard with a longing for less edited, more spontaneous videos which feel like hanging out with friends
I never really write comments, but now I have to. OMG I love that you´re currently learning German 😍. I´m from Germany and I´m in love with English literature. Watching your videos about books and reading always makes me feel cozy. Hearing that you´re interested in my mother tongue feels like a little compliment to me, it makes me so happy. Loved the autumn vibes here, also with Jared in the video :)
Spooky story time 😀 For me this actually happened in winter. I went for a walk and it was pretty late, but I love walking in winter through the snow during the night. At some point I started hearing this eerie music and of course, cause that what one does, I followed the music into the woods to the lake. 😂 And I kept following that sound while it got a little louder, until I came out at a little clearing with a burial mound. I still don’t really know where the music was coming from, maybe it was just a cottage nearby. But I swear, it felt like it came from that mound. That really left an impression with me. I still go to that burial mound often and leave flowers and little trinkets. 🤎
One of my favorite videos of yours!❤
So nice to see Jared & the furbabies too!🐈👩❤️👨🐈
👻I have had a lot of spooky things happen to me, but a short story would be when I was at college, it was said that our Arts building was haunted. One night, I was practicing singing/playing piano alone in room number 13 (no joke) when my chair was mysteriously yanked back! I was like ok, time to go to rehearsal! It was bad enough I had to practice playing the pipe organ in the back of a storage room, but I had to carry a flash light because the power would always go off!😱
Your german fans love that you are learning german!! Liebe Grüße
It is so refreshing to see the "real life you". The vlog seems more authentic and relatable. And the interaction between you guys is sooo cute ❤
I believe Jared 100%! I have had MANY of these experiences throughout my 55 years… my husband of 37 years is still not used to it when it happens. I believe there are angels (watchers) and demons… beings in other realms that have a way of intersecting our realm. Sometimes we catch glimpses. I have NO idea as to the WHY of it, but I KNOW it’s real.
I loved this style of editing almost as much as your cinematic videos, you should definitely make more of these in the future. And definitely we loved seeing Jared in there, you guys are just so sweet together.
Thank you for this amazing video....
Ganz liebe grüsse aus Österreich ❤❤❤
Desi i hope you see this! I just wanted to say your videos are what bring me peace. Ive got the flu just recently and have anxiety aswell and today I was feeling really rubbish and then saw this video and my mindset has completely changed. I feel so much better about life now and feel less alone. Thankyou from the bottom of my heart ❤
Love this casual vlog. Love seeing Jared in it. You are both so sweet.
I love this type of filming with your hubby just at home making memories while making the video its cozy and light ❤, have a great fall 🧡
🍂AUTUMN QUEEN👑🍂
October is my favorite season too! Im from a small town near Chicago, and due to the weather the trees are still green! I still go with my dog for walks through our local forest preserves to take pictures of fall colors and try to do something spooky esque each day 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
The queen of fall 🍂 i love how you make my day cozier
Desi!!! I am sooOoOo happy about your videos!!! I always get a huge burst of happiness when I see you came out with a new one!! 🍁🎃
❤ The taste of Fall I need living in Northern California and having it still be 103* outside.
Amazing content as always Desi! Really enjoyed the relaxed chatty feel of this video, felt like spending an evening with friends. Loved seeing more of Jared too, he's such a natural in front of the camera, and so great to see how he supports your seasonal traditions. Couple goals!
Cant explain how thankfull i am for your videos. I enjoy living thru them and enjoying halloween fall vibes in country that doesnt celebrate it. Thank you for sharing your love of this type of year. ❤❤❤
( wish i had a place to buy some of those fun fall sweets and decorations 💔)
Have been waiting for long time. Glad to have this video. I already know it's fabulous. Thanks for being a relief in my busy study days, Desi!❤ Loads of love
AHHHH I LOVE seeing Jared more ! You two are so adorable 😭😭 would love to see a mix of more casual and cinematic content on ur channel !
Sooooo cozy, one of my favorite videos of yours! I love it so much when it's so warm, safe, cozy, chatty and with Jared. It's just all so lovely! Thank you for this beautiful video, it made me feel alive again 💖
I kicked off October 1st by wearing a festive Halloween shirt, eating pumpkin donuts for breakfast, going for a morning walk in the chill air/perfect overcast skies and giving my kids Boo Buckets!...But let me tell you all a spooky story!! Not my story, but my Dad's...
When my Dad was in middle school, his older brother tragically passed away in a car accident. It was only a week later, but life had to go on. My Dad had just returned home after school. He was the only one there. He had just sat down on the couch and then heard music playing, but not just any song. It was his late brother’s favorite song. The melody drifted down the stairs and my Dad curiously followed it up.
His brother’s door was cracked open, which seemed odd since his Mom had been keeping it shut since he died.
Confused, and maybe a little scared, my Dad went in. The record player was on. Dad tried to rationalize it all, thinking that if the vinyl had been left in place and the on/off switch (which was very finicky and known to randomly turn on if not fully moved over) turned on as it sometimes did, with the left needle overtop…maybe, just maybe, a shift in the old house could have made the needle fall and make it start playing.
So my Dad put on a brave face and turned off the record player, making sure it was firmly off, and moved the needle over.
He left the room and was halfway down the stairs, when the music began to play yet again.
Scared out of his wits, he ran down and into the kitchen. The music skipped and scratched in that eerie way that only a record player can, till it stopped a moment later. That’s when the phone rang.
Trying to catch his breath and not act like a scared child (mind you he was only 12), he answered the phone. At first, all he heard was static, but then the all too familiar tune of his brother’s favorite song began to play.
Scared beyond reason, he ran out the back door and waited on the driveway till his Mom came home. He told her everything that happened, but she simply brushed it off. Saying that he was either hearing things or trying to tease her.
The music never played again.
Many decades later, my Dad now thinks back on this and likes to believe that his brother was saying goodbye before moving on.
....Well, Happy October everyone!!!
Great spooky vlog 🎃☕📚🍁🍂👻🦇🍎🍄🦊🏞️
Thank you!! 🥰🫶🏻
Yay! We love October Eve festivities 🎃🍂🍁🥰🥰🥰
This was so comforting to watch! Love seeing you and Jared and the kitties
This was too cute. Your fall videos are my favorite! All the nostalgia and cozy feels.
You guys are the cutest! My hubby and I love spontaneous Rock -Paper -Scissors moments. More of this in all our lives ❤
you guys are so fun together - I love your normal video format but would happily watch many more like this too!
