*As a summer depression person (yeah that’s a real thing, like winter depression) my summer routine is: stay inside and survive!* Too much sunlight and heat causes me to have circulatory collapse, migraines, extreme tiredness and nausea.

Even if it’s just in my mind and people can’t tell on the outside that on the inside I’m in a cooking competition, or Cinderella cleaning the villa, or visiting a secret garden. It makes my chores more fun. Also, a huge huge thanks for the messy mermaid hair!! I have a 9-year old granddaughter whose hair is straight in some areas and curly in others and no matter how she brushes it, it comes out exactly like messy mermaid hair. It totally delighted her when I showed her photos on Pinterest. She is actually proud of her hair now!! Thank you!! You made a child happy!!!

A Swedish folklore student here! Usually it's said that you'll dream of your future spouse, but I really enjoy the idea of it "just" being your heart's desire. There are so many different variations to this folk tradition - pick the flowers during silence (and not speak until you've woken up the morning after), jump over seven fences while picking said flowers... Midsummer is definitely my favorite celebration, tied with our Swedish Lucia/St. Lucy's day.

@erikahammarstrom6124 3 месяца назад

The one we did as young girls was to jump 7 fences (or gärdesgårdar) i total silence. After every fence you climbed, you picked one flower and they couldn't be the same sort of flower. The silence part was reallly, really difficult trying not to giggle when your skirt got stuck in the posts.

It's so strange to think there is a part of the world where people enjoy and yearn for summer! As an Indian summer is the season I hate the most. And it's literally different variations of summer for 7-8 months here. With temperature reaching 45-50 C (113-122 F) and high humidity. It's literally unbearable. I would trade everything to be able to live somewhere with wintery gloomy weather throughout the year!!.... So good to see you enjoy your summer. 😊

Hi, Desi! I have really enjoyed this video and all of your recommendations, like always 😊. As a girl who has been living her whole life in a tiny little village in the south of Spain, where traditions and popular folcklore keep being honored, I have grown up seen my grandmother carrying out a special ritual for summer's solstice. That evening, we fill a bowl with water from 7 different fountains and then we add rose petals and rosemary. The bowl must spend the night outside, receiving moonlinght. The next day, you have to wash your face with this water, which is thought to be magical... this way you make sure that you keep your beauty for another year!!

A suggestion for another show that's ideal for this time of year: "Summer Camp Island." If lo-fi music was a show, this is what it would look like. It's the coziest, softest, mellowest, most... pastel-candy-coated kawaii cabincore comfort show that you could ever imagine. It is mainly intended for kids (it's a somewhat obscure gem from Cartoon Network), but this is one of those rare cartoons that really can be enjoyed by all ages, and has a good plot to go with all the "vibes." I mean, I'm 40, and I find it relaxing to watch a few episodes at night before going to sleep. Season 1 was good, but honestly it keeps getting better with each season.

@pile_of_bnes5748 2 месяца назад

I keep seeing these videos and they are seriously reminding me to enjoy my summer.

I read Every Summer After per your recommendation and it was a 5 star read! I'm not typically a huge romance girly but this romance was absolutely beautiful and I truly felt like a whole new person after reading it. Inspired by Percy and Sam, I actually ended up braiding myself an anklet with embroidery thread and I've been saying it is 'hot girl anklet summer'. So that is an activity recc and you get a fun summery accessory at the end of it! To all my summer specific SAD friends in the comments, I hear you and I'm sending my love. Dress in comfy, lightweight clothes and curl up with a book inside or throw on one of the summer movies. We've got this!

Oh absolutely reading the book is the reward. My form of self care is cozying up in the evening with my annotating supplies and my book, that is my reward after a busy day.

I love how you made a “rules of summer” in addition to a bucket list - I was having a hard time making a bucket list that made sense and after watching this I realized oh! Half of these things are more “rules of summer” than specific bucket list. Love it!!

Thank you so much for giving summer some love! I know I'm in the minority being a summer season girl and it's so hard to find others who love summer. Until I find my community of summer lovers, at least I got this awesome video 💛 you always put so much attention, love and joy in your videos. 😊

I’m over here raising my hand! 🙋🏼‍♀️ Can we start a summer fan club? I used to not enjoy it as a kid but I’ve grown to love it so much! I am so much happier when the sun is shining, the trees are green, I can jump in lakes or oceans and read in a hammock outside 🥹

I love the boat n tote bags! I have a large one that says “bookish” and three smalls (for my knitting projects ❤) that say “bees knees,” “humanist,” and “sweet life.” Now I want a “sea nymph” one 😊.

Please do a video of the best historical romance novels recommendations! I am so into that genre but do not have time to pick up/buy a book and not like it. And your recommendations are always spot on! Thank you and thanks for this lovely treat of a video!

If anyone wants a great summer movie, the way way back, and the man in the moon!! Watch the trailers and decide for yourself but both are wholesome movies and the man in the moon is so atmospheric. It is a sad one but beautiful and about a girls first love lost.

If you like Rear Window, I would recommend To Catch a Thief, another Hitchcock movie with Grace Kelly, and also set in the south of France, there's lots of scenes set in or near the water too.

I love love love that movie! So much so that I included it in one of my previous summer start pack videos ☺️

Hi Desi, thanks for the sweet summery video 🫶🏼. Some of my favorite movies for summer are Something Borrowed, Reality Bites, and Splash 🧜🏼‍♀️. Books on my TBR list are One Dark Window, Into the Heartless Woods, Blackmoore, and Beach Read 📚. Also, Wimbledon gives me the best summer feels 🎾Have a beautiful day 🌼

Thank you so much for this! I was so looking forward to Summer videos from you! Summer is my favorite season and in my area it is so so short. It comes and ends in a blink of an eye!

Another good summer movie is The Way Way Down! It’s quirky and soo cute. It takes place at a water park lol. It kind of has the similar humor/vibe to Little Miss Sunshine if you like that movie as well. I recommend it! Another one I thought of is Aquamarine - but I know this one is geared more towards a younger audience. It was such a cute movie to watch during summer breaks when I was younger. It has mega summer vibes and it’s so wholesome 🐚. Also, I forgot to add, the snack box is such a cute idea! I’m definitely going to try it

Magic in the Moonlight is a Woody Allen film, just in case there are some who would prefer not to watch anything he makes (like me.) I"ll suggest Moonrise Kingdom as a summer movie replacement. This is a cute video! Summer is my favorite season and I'll be doing most of what you suggested over the next few months.

Safe Haven is a good summer movie too ☺️ I watch it every 4th of July ❤

Really good series to watch also is My Lady Jane ☺️ Not kid friendly, but think Knight’s Tale/ P&P/ Princess Bride. It’s so good!

Aww! Croquet! I played that as a kid. I have an old croquet set I’ve been meaning to restore. I should complete that project and play it soon! Good idea! Love this “rule list”. I could go for reading books and enjoying rewards when books are completed! I wish we could walk barefoot here like when we were kids, but too many tics😢. Still I need to be brave and at least try getting outside more! Love the mermaid hair plan; curls are so happy and fun!

I was not expecting to hear Sugar Ray and now I’m transported back to my childhood summers haha. Now I’m going to make a summer playlist of songs I’ve always associated with summer from childhood to now. As someone who always got depressed in summer, I’ve been trying to make summer more enjoyable the past two years 🥲😎☀️🌻💛

The woman who wrote the books about Egypt also goes by the name Barbara Michaels and I read her books as a kid. They have all kinds of things I think you will love. Being she did these books when I was in high school they are old but I think you will like them

@janeburkhart4051 3 месяца назад

Barbara Michaels (aka Elizabeth Peters) is an all time favorite author. I love her older books.

As a natural redhead who was never allowed to dye my hair, let me tell you PINK TINSEL in ginger hair is THE ULTIMATE COMBO… pink tinsel ftw… I did it just in the front sections of my hair, and it’s so pretty and not too overwhelming sensory-wise.
