    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.

    Girl, I'm sobbing! The story of how you started your RUclips channel in your apartment, and seeing you and Jared work together making videos got me right in the feels!
    I'm so excited for you guys and I can't wait to experience the move in video "with you"!
    I lived in Utah for six months in 2015, and I had a bad experience and had to leave. But I had an attachment to Utah's beauty just as you do, and seeing you walk past Provo city library made me sob even harder. I LOVED THOSE MOUNTAINS. And until I found your channel, I thought I'd never see them in a positive context again. But you changed that. And now you're on your way to another beautiful dreamland. I'm so happy for you and grateful for this channel, and all the positive things you share with us. Be safe on your journeys, and may New England be as good to you as Utah, only better. ❤❤❤❤

    Desi- You remind me a lot of myself and watching your videos has helped me find myself and find and live the life that feels authentic to me (spoiler, I now live in a cottage in the woods and every day feels like a Ghibli movie!). Something that helped me with my own mental health was to focus on the wants and needs instead of the ‘should’s’ and to key into my intuition. :) Your videos and content are filled with such joy and peace and have brought me so much over the last few years. Thank you. :) Happy 2023!

    I’ve been to New England a few times to visit. I love historic sights and especially like researching where my ancestors lived and our buried (mainly all over Massachusetts). I dream of going back to do more of this and also visit the homes of some favorite authors. New England can be crowded and noisy but also beautiful, driving around a hill and feeling like you’ve stepped into the past. Good luck on the move.

    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,

    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 RUclips.
    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.

      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 🥰☀️

    How wonderful! I applaud your tenacity in creating a life that fits YOU. Living someone else’s idea of a life never really works. Keep romanticizing & manifesting the life that is calling to you. I am a 65 year young grandmother/artist who delights in your gift of sharing your story. I’m sending you one of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite poets, Mary Oliver - “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” Thank you for telling us a part of your story and so generously sharing a part of your precious life. ❤

      Thank you so much! And the new furry friend is our new kitty! His name is Benedict and he’s a Ragdoll cat. We love him so much and it’s been great for Binx to have a cat to spar with. We specifically got him because he was older than her, so she couldn’t really bully him 😄 He has helped her with learning to play and not biting so hard.

    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 💚🌻

    Another beautifully produced video, Desiree! But it’s no surprise because you consistently put so much effort and creativity into all your video content. And I’m so excited for this next chapter in your life, while also being thankful that Utah was good to you all these years. But I’m mainly concerned about your health lately, both physical and mental, and so I’m glad that you’re going to focus on healing in 2023. And it looks like you have some great plans to help you get to where you want to be. Again, I love your work, and I love you! 😊❤️

    "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. 🌍

    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 RUclips goal really touched my heart.

    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
      @DarlingDesi  Год назад +3

      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! ♥️

    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.

      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.
