as someone who reads classics consistently from a very young age, I really hope you don’t read them all in a row😅better to take some breaks or have some palette cleaner books. otherwise, I feel like if you try to read them all in a row - you’ll get exhausted and burnt out, and won’t give them the credit that they deserve! i really hope you enjoy them! (also, my tip for reading these classics books will be to learn more about the book, its author, the historical period they take place. it will add soooo much to your reading experience and understanding! )

Reading your best friends 5 star reads really is such a good way to know them 😭🫶 and we did indeed fall asleep to Cars 🚗

When destiny said "I can't quite pinpoint it down but I'm feeling so unmotivated with everything today" I literally feel that so much like why was that me all of today😭

i could watch a 10h vlog of des not joke

These vids always feel like a FaceTime. They are such a comfort ❤

Idk if you will see this Des but don’t feel like you have to cut yourself short talking about mental health/your feelings, etc. GURL it’s YOUR channel ! I loveee to hear all of it ! ♥️♥️ People are here for you ! 🤍

i would kill for a clothing haul from you!

A possible video idea: recommendation video based on your favorite line in the book. Like convincing us to read your favorite books based on your favorite quote or line ❤

it makes me so happy that des is feeling excited about her creativity and videos for this month 🥲

hey des! you know one day you should do like a q/a or smtg that's not book related and more about you like getting to know you and stuff, will love that tbh ( love you btw 🖤🖤🖤)

the espresso sweater (so CUTE) really brings out your eyes!!!

A new des video is what I needed today!!

An Ember in the Ashes is such a great series! You have to work through the first book though to get to the good stuff, but it's so interesting to see Sabaa Tahir grow as a writer over these four books. Plus, she's got a new fantasy series coming out soon so I feel like it's a good time to delve into her work. I hope you enjoy it!

Is it possible to take a break? I feel like every time I watch your videos you’re struggling trying to edit or something and it makes me feel like you’re not enjoying what you’re doing 😢

The queen has posted👑👑👑🤭🤭🤭 I am obsessed with your videos. Like while I study and read I play your videos in the background. You are amazing and God bless you on this wonderful day/night❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

alani's at room temperature is so crazy bestie im sorry LOL but im so excited for your classics video i hope you find some new favs!!! 🫶🏼

Would love to see a video on how you plan your workouts each week and how you figure out what to workout on what days! 😊

Azelaic acid is another ingredient you could try for your acne. The ordinary has a cheap one. That’s been the only thing that has worked for me, it takes sooo long to find your magic combination to make it go away, don’t give up! You’ll find what works for you!

Your transparency & how you always seem to just be yourself is why you’re my favorite! 🫶💕

Whenever I’m having a bad day, Destiny always knows to post a video 🥹💗

I watch your videos for bookish stuff but you completely motivate me to get my workouts done! Thank you for always making such great content! ❤

I used to only drink room temperature water because I could drink it faster, but then I got pregnant and room temp water made me so nauseous. I can never go back now.

If you have oily/combo skin and or hormonal acne I soo recommend laroche posay purifying foam cleanser for combo to oily skin and also their moisturizer too. It has made a huge difference in my skin when I thought nothing else would help me! Everything else I’ve used even by them has broke me out and clogged my pores

An Ember in the Ashes is so good!!! I can’t wait for u to read it❤️

I love these monthly reset videos!!! Love you Des 💜

thank you Des for monthly reset vids, they help me so much and boost my motivation!💕

des you’re vlogs are my fav and they give me motivation, this is what i needed for my sunday reset i love you’re vlogs bestie i just got so excited when i saw this and you make my day 10 times better 💝 have a BLESSED day !

destiny's uploads always get posted at the right time when I need it❤❤❤

The lovely war is one of my all time favs! Really excited to watch you read it. ❤

reset vids are so motivating

i LIVE for these

its raining outside so im putting up my laundry and watching your video 🤩🤩

I love your monthly resets so much!!!!

i’m so happy this is exactly what i needed today 🎉

For real same des! You’re currently playing as I clean 🖤

The adorable dog bringing her little toy 🥹

Girl you’re so real I appreciate you being honest about your days and letting us know that you get bad days sometimes and it’s okay, we all do so pls don’t stress❤ also very relatable about being around a group of teenagers lmao, esp walking a trail and seeing younger people walking toward you or at places you love to go (Barnes ofc) I instantly wanna turn around or leave haha so I try to stay away as far as possible bc definitely can’t relate to them 😂

Omg. Destiny has been giving us so much content 🎉🎉🎉

I don't count Pinterest as social media. It's a universal blanket of comfort. It is a space to get inspiration. Does anyone go there to beef? No.

I have been feeling the same way today des, today has just been meh but I got up and went to therapy and my positive was your channel. I talked about how you have helped and how it upset me about the hate you got for talking about your mental health because you talking about it helps me so much. So thank you for being you! Love you and your channel❤ also my dog loves lamb chops too idk why dogs love them but they really do!

girl LOVEEEEE THE NEW CAMERA!!!

I loved seeing your mood boards and habit tracker! Very excited for your book videos in June based on your haul at the end of your video.

I am cleaning right now with you being my background! I absolutely love your channel and it gives me motivation!💖

I was getting head aches EVERY day toooo until I bought and started using a silk bonnet to wear anytime I didnt have my hair up ESPECIALLY when I would go to sleep. Since then no head aches, I think they were tension headaches from having my hair pulled up or back 24/7 , it was in spots where my hair was constbeing pulled at most when it was pulled up, I hope yours get better babe ❤

while cleanign i always have a background show on, lately its been parks and rec 😋 love these videos thank you for all your hard work bestie

happy sunday des! i hope you have a great week (: i pretty much always have to have youtube or a tv show on too, except most of the time it’s usually youtube AND a tv show… i usually scroll through pinterest and listen to music really loud in my big headphones before i go to bed hehe, i feel u about the reading slump but we’re gonna get out of it 💪🫶 one of my comfort youtube series has always been chuggaconroys acnl let’s play, i really want a 3ds too lol. tfios and if i stay 😭 two of my favorites

I love watching your videos, its a great way to study for finals💜💜

yayyy a new destiny videooo

I agree with the water!! But anything else I need in the fridge

I love you so much, you always make me day. You make anxiety so normal, which it is and how it's hard to deal but you have what looks like an amazing life, I always wish you to have a great day because you deserve it so much. Love the pod so much 😍. I feel like your friendship is so good x

I love these vlogs because I relate to you so much, your videos and you are amazing 💗

Ahhh so excited you got the An Ember in the Ashes series!!! One of my favorites!

I've had tmj pain all day today. So I'm going to relax

My book club read lovely war last month and I loved it! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts! ❤

i love the youth the people facewash especially in the morning!!!!!! it literally feels like a green smoothie for my face

When cleaning, I definitely need to have something on! I’m the most efficient with music, a median pace with an audiobook, I’m my slowest with a show, movie or KZfaq on lol cause I just end up wanting to sit and watch it

WAKE UP DES POSTED!

This video is accompanying me cleaning my room!

I’m rereading An Ember In the Ashes right now! Definitely recommend! 😁

omg yayy, your wimls are the best 💕

Love seeing your monthly vision boards hehe

omg when i was 15 working at a campground office early in the season when it was dead i thought it’d be safe to read looking for alaska and a customer came in to me absolutely sobbing 😂

The June cowboy boots spread is the best thing I’ve ever seen in a book journal LOL🩷

Yayyyy Destiny posted a new videooo

Yeyyy this made my day💙🥰

obsessed with the sabrina "espresso" crewneck! i wanted to order it so bad. Love the vlogs as always

omg I LOVE the An Ember in the Ashes series!!!!!!! Some of my favorite characters ever are in there!!!

I love the camera quality 📸 it looks so good.

When I'm cleaning, I always have bookmark'd on❤❤

I had to read Jane eyre for a class and I ended up loving the book so so much and I really think give it time when reading it and it’s so much fun to read and without being forced to read it for a class I would have never picked it up and now it’s one of my favorite books of all time !!

For me July is when it truly starts to feel like summer, bc that's when we get out. Actually can't wait tho, so ready to read all my books in the sun

loveee your videos

girl, Lovely War will be that emotional book for you… SOOOO GOOOOD!!!! one of my top 10 books for sure.

An Ember in the Ashes is my FAVORITE ❤

i feel the exact same about doom scrolling and i have been SO bad about it lately. it is 10000% correlated with my mental health. i catch myself scrolling and CAN. NOT. STOP. and then i beat myself up bc i just wasted so much time on my phone and yet i’m still doom scrolling…. you’re def not alone in that. it sucks lol

Love your vlogs, they're such a part of my routine! Also as someone who struggled with acne/ hormonal acne for very long too and it still pops up, but one thing that made it much more manageable is reducing the intake of supplements, especially protein supplements but also other supplements. I see this trend of a lot of supplement intake and as some doctors when I worked in the hospital and the dietitian at that hospital pointed out to me, it's not as great as advertised. We're 1. Not supposed to take as many as people do unless we're actually deficient in sth and prescribed that, 2. not supposed to take them for long periods of time, 3. Too much protein is hard to digest and causes more acne and depending on the person even other types of inflamation, so if you get enough in your diet there's not that much need for more, I wouldn't take it every day 4. stay away from supplements claiming to detox, as they can't, that's your kidneys job, you're being detoxed on a daily basis as is if you have functioning kidneys or you'd be dead or on dialysis and these supplements can sometimes mess up your digestion & with that gut flora I know we all at some point buy into these things, but most of them are gimmicks for money, Protein supplements are great but in moderation and not needed if someone eats enough protein in their diet which can sometimes be hard, but a lot of people. even take in too much bc of supplementation i also heard vegan protein can be great for acne prone people, however it will take time to see a change. and for some it might not make a difference Other things to actually do. is: less skincare is truly more, focus on hydration and SPF in the am and don't overexfoliate, if. your skin is dry I'd stick to once a week in the pm only then it's also important to get in enough. probiotics for your gut which is in big parts responsible for how your skin is, so: more natural/ greek yogurt, sauerkraut and any other types of fermented and pickled foods, drinks like kefir or buttermilk are all very very good. for your gut flora

Am i the only one who feels so motivated for everything after watching destiny’s vlogsss❤️

YES i HATE cold/ice water too. Room temp only (even when it is the middle of Summer and the tap water is naturally warm, i don't mind it 🤷‍♀).. The only reason that i have water in the fridge is to make Iced Coffee with it. 😍

after all the exams and still continuing, need this to reset in general

I lately watched the cars movies for the firtst time and I LOVED them! Especially Guido 🥹

I was at Morganstern’s yesterday and they had a “books to get you out of a book slump” display & they were all super short OR nostalgic reads like fault in our stars and I love the idea of picking up a silly lil YA for a slump 😂

Hiii I love ur videos!!!❤

I have either music or youtube whatever im in the mood for❤

I love Alani, I’ll drink them cool or room Temp but I do think they’re better a little cold so I put them in the fridge for like 30 minutes instead of like hours and hours

When I’m cleaning I usually rewatch your and Sarah’s old videos, so that question felt full circle 😅

I laugh every time you put the sound over when you take a sip of your drink 😂 Des’ recharge in action

I’m the exact same way with cold stuff food & drink wise

these are some of my fave videos of yours!!🩷 i love reset and motivating yet REAL vlogs 😋

My bf got me Lightning McQueen Crocs that light up when you walk & it really helps to lift my spirits every time I put them on. Especially if you click your heels together & say “KA-CHOW!!!” 😅😅😅😅😅

Not to mention fall motivates me to read more (fantasy, thrillers/murder mysteries 😍)

John Green is one of my fav authors, Looking for Alaska and Paper Towns are 2 of my favs by him :)

I love your videos ❤❤❤

I am the same way with cold stuff. Sensitive teeth haha I notice it mostly with fruit thats been kept in the fridge 😬 but most drinks i'm fine with being room temp or just slightly cool, but too cold hurts haha

For me, the drink temp depends on the season. I’m in TX, so half the year an ice cold drink is basically a must. But in the winter, I don’t really want ice cold drinks. In the winter I prefer room temp water

i also have sensitive teeth so i feel u on the cold water bc everyone thinks im crazy for being okay w drinking room temp😭

As someone with really bad anxiety, it’s nice to know I’m not alone.

okay I NEED to know what camera setup you’re using because it's SO GOOD

This time last year i was reading one acotar book and one magnolia parks book and just finished both series this way in one month. i feel so slumpy because i’m not going to feel that way again.

16:03 sameee bestieee😭😭😭🫶

Felt that about having something you have to watch to fall asleep... Mine is zootopia. I have no idea why lol
