Hello sweet friends!
I'm so happy you're here. Since I haven't seen you since the new year started, happy 2024!! This is my year of putting myself first, so the reason you haven't seen me until the end of January is because I took time to rest and relax after the holidays. Honestly, I was pretty burnt out and I can't even say when it started. I think I wasn't properly resting the past year. I'd work and edit all night and not get enough sleep and never take time to fully recover before jumping back into work again. So I really took time to just be still and sleep a lot lol. And then, I took a trip to Germany and Austria for 10 days in the middle of January (I filmed it so stayed tuned for that video! We attended a ball in Vienna! 🥹) So because of that I wasn't able to get a video up until now. I still really hope you enjoy it :) This video is a video of my heart. I'm so proud of it. It has taken me the past few years of actively working on changing my mindset so that I could enjoy winter and now it feels that every year I just fall more and more in love with this season. I love it so much, and I know if I could do it, so can you (if you want to 😊)
So without further adieu, I hope you enjoy this video about enjoying winter, romanticizing these dark winter days and welcoming more hygge and stillness into our lives during this cozy season.
Wishing you all the most magical of days. Thank you for being here 🫶🏻

Thank you so much for being here sweet friends! What has been your favorite part about this winter so far? Have you picked up a new hobby or discovered a new favorite tea or have you experienced any snow days? I'd love to hear!! P.S. Did anyone stick around until the bloopers at the very end of the video? 😉

My favorite part this winter was snow❄️!!! So grateful to have some this January ( we rarely have it🥲) , my anniversary month! I was working those days and I left heart sign in the snow all the way to work drawing them with my foot and people looking weird at me 😆. I actually started a new book this month , one that was waiting on my tbr and I’m loving it and think you will too, it’s “an enchantment of ravens” by Margaret Rogerson ( recommend her other book “ Sorcery of thorn “ too it’s about books and magic! Perfect combo!) I ordered the same dress from linenaive ! I can’t wait to receive it ( it sure taking it’s sweet time to come to me 😅). Your little green bonnet is adorable! Did you knit it? Omg Jared 😂

I love how Jarred said you looked cute, like Anne of Green Gables when you asked how you looked with the bonnet on! It’s so good that he gets you. (I got questioned why I dressed so different instead) Being an Autumn & Winter gal I want to say that deciding to enjoy a season really does make a difference! Last Summer I decided instead of complaining about the H&H(heat & humidity) of NC summers and longing for it to be over that I’d embrace it instead. I joined a pool and went nearly every day instead of staying in the AC. I enjoyed iced matcha’s at Dunkin Donuts on my way home. I also decorated for summer with mermaids, sea creatures, summer beachy pillows and a pirate/mermaid sign for my downstairs bathroom. It really made the summer fly by in a good way and it lightened my mood. 😊

This is the first year I've embraced how I feel about winter. I always slow down, but usually feel guilty about it. Slowing now, I realize there is a visual "cleanness" to winter that gives us time to reset before the (beautiful) visual clutter of spring shows.

It is the positive attitude, the wonder and amazement with which you approach life that stays in my heart, a reminder of how I must approach my own life and all its little daily miracles.

Go out and take pictures of nature, it's so therapeutic!

As an EDS sufferer, I completely agree with your philosophy of slowing right down in the winter. My pain levels get very high in damp conditions and as I live in the UK, winter is cold and damp! Getting warm and cosy and allowing myself just to be really helps - I also have a mandatory afternoon nap which has revolutionised my mental and physical health 🥰🥰

Boredom is such a friend to creativity. That's part of my struggle right now. It seems there's always so much to do and think about that my brain doesn't have that lovely time to just be bored and wander and see what it can come up with. As a kid I was often in situations that I didn't want to be in and it left time for my brain to be elsewhere. To sit in the boredom and come up with stories and ideas. I really miss that.

Of course, work and routine still has to happen but when I can, I indulge in the dark and quiet moments and feel so content. I used to get swept up in the ‘noise’ of ‘fresh starts’ and New Year goals and whilst I still enjoy thinking of those things, I will rest a while longer in the winter months and embark on them in line with nature when Spring starts to form 💕

I did not know how much I needed this video. I grew up in New England, NH to be specific, and after being forced to move a month before quarantine, I have dreamed of moving back. This reminded me of home. Thank you so much and sending virtual hugs. I'm so happy you're living it!!!

A new video from Desi is always a pleasure! I’m super stressed at work right now and watching these videos always helps me destress.

LOVE the music you put during your decorating part! I’ve always been obsessed with that kind of music! ❤

Thank you for all of your book recommendations! This is one of my favorite part of this channel, I've read some of the books and I've really enjoyed them.

I am an Erik Satie girlie too. My favorite pure music (without vocals) tents to be French late 19th/early 20th century. For between Christmas and Valentines decor, we leave up anything from Christmas that is not Christmas specific. So the lights stay up to ward off the darkness. All the penguins and snowflakes stay up. And most of that will stay up until March. In February, I switch out a few more things and add in the Valentines stuff. Which, I guess I should do this weekend! Beautiful work as always.

Thanks, Desi, I was feeling in a bit of a rut and this was very refreshing and inspiring! I loved the unused clips at the end as well! 💜

omg your kitchen reminds me of my moms kitchen in the 90's! I remember one year for valentine's day she made a dried cinnamon apple wreath using real apples and gingham ribbon it was soooo cute! I could see you making one of those!
