Oh how I have missed you, friends. In this video I share how I have been romanticizing life while recovering from being sick. I've learned during this time that searching for happiness in the little things is sometimes what keeps us going, and the little things really end up being the most meaningful in the end. So in this video I spend my days at home doing puzzles, self care, reading lots of books, watching comfort films and trying to rest as much as I can. I have been listening to my body and taking it slowly, which is why this is my first video of 2022. I am still far from a full recovery, but I continue to believe that a positive mindset has the power to change everything. I'm so happy to be back, and I really hope you enjoy the video 💕

Hi, I’m Polish/Ukrainian raised in the U.K., even though I consider myself British, I have family in Ukraine and the war has been taking a toll on me mentally. Thank you for posting this video it will really help

I'm 30 and sometimes feel wrong for cuddling stuffed animals around my house and in bed so thank you for normalising it! Love your channel ❤️

I have 2 stuffed lambs, Lambs and Lambert. Mango was with me throughout my cancer treatment. One or both are cuddled with me at night. I'm 62, no shame.

Wow… The first minute of this video felt like my sweet mom was speaking directly to me. She passed away this last Thursday evening after a month in the hospital. She collected teapots, it was one of the many beautiful unique things about her. The lyrics of the song broke me into pieces and comforted me at the same time. I’ve been waiting for a message from her and while it could be coincidence I’m choosing to believe it’s something more. Thank you for sharing Desi, it was a beautiful video. ❤️🫖✨

This has truly come at a serendipitous time for me! I am in the midst of a bad flare up in my chronic illnesses and was feeling gloomy and wretched. I’ve been so discouraged that the little fixes that normally make a small difference to my health left my pain and lethargy un-dented. You are so sweet and generous! I hope you have a great week :)

I literally called off of work today for the first time in years, this video couldn’t have come at a better time. Also, I’ve been telling my friends/family about how much romanticizing my life has changed my mental state for the better. The little things truly aren’t so little, anymore. Thanks for helping me realize that. 💕

This video literally has me in tears. I too am suffering with covid, it’s knocked everything out of me and I couldn’t feel less like myself if I tried. This has made me feel hopeful and uplifted and reassured that there are like minded people in the world who try to see and make life as beautiful as it can be, despite the sadness and terror that is surrounding us. So much love to a beautiful community. 💜💐😊

Desi is a true kindred spirit. She and Anne would have been the closest friends and there are sometimes people who come along and lift you up every day. Also, can we appreciate the STUNNING cinematography

I saw the notification and without a second thought I snuggled down onto my beanbag and leaned against my cushions ready to watch. Being ill is no joke, so there’s absolutely no shame in taking your time to rest and recover at your own pace. I’m so happy to see you back and I wish you all the best ✨

My nana died just this week and this video felt like a blessing coming at the perfect time. I really struggle to not pressure myself into being okay so this really reminded me to step back from difficult thoughts for a bit. Thank you <3

I was recently in a bad accident, and I've been recovering my ability to walk for the last two months. In that time, I've been watching your videos for comfort to ease my anxiety and to relax. Seeing that you have a new video made me so happy! I've been following your health journey too, and I wish you a quick and speedy recovery. If you have a P.O. box, I'd love to send you a care package. Happy Spring, and get well soon! 🌺✨❤️

I’m recovering from Covid right now and this video made me cry. Before being sick, I’d distanced myself from all the lovely little things you do here (because I thought it would make my life easier and cheaper) but when I saw you reading to the trees I burst into tears. Thank you so much for making this video - now I want to get back to these little, beautiful things 💕

GIRL, you have no idea how much I missed you and thought of you (while rewatching older vids to get a bit of that Desi-spark✨🧚🏻‍♀️) and yearned for that notification!! So good to have you back! 😘💞
