How I Romanticize Autumn // a how-to guide 🍂

Happy October, friends! This video shows some of my favorite ways to enjoy fall! It's all about the little things that make me happy when it comes to romanticizing autumn. Picking apples from a local apple orchard, watching Gilmore Girls and nostalgic Halloween movies, going on a walk while listening to an autumnal playlist, wearing cozy socks and trying new fall items from Trader Joe's. Please let me know some of the ways YOU have been enjoying fall so far! :) Oh and if you've never gone on a walk through a cemetery during sunset and then stopped, sat down and took a little time to read a chapter or two, DO IT 🍂

I feel so depressed in summer for some reason, Autumn and Winter makes me feel so happy and alive🍂🎃

You can definitely tell autumn is Desi’s favourite season. And honestly, this year Autumn is just hitting different for me too! I think its the Taylor Swift, the Gilmore girls and the Desi that is really making this autumn special for me ❤️

Romanticize is the perfect word, because you are like a storybook character and your videos are like a comfort movie 💚

As a former employee at Trader Joe's (TJs), I can confirm that going to TJs for fall products is a must. One of the best things is how the place smells (bear with me). They have various candles for the season, there was food sampling so you can smell the food while working, and most prominent of all were those cinnamon brooms they market at the front of the store, so when you enter the place you get a good whiff of the usual Autumn aromas.

I’ve suffered with crippling anxiety and panic attacks my whole life. Romanticizing the little things really has helped me out the past few years. Autumn is my favorite season and I love a good spooky book or film. Desi, your videos bring me so much joy and a calm spirit. And it just so happens I am going to a graveyard to drink a coffee this weekend with my friend who I have not seen in person since the pandemic began

Sewing and knitting in Autumnal colours always puts in me in a cozy fall mood. I just finished making a burnt orange dress 😍

[BjornBear]

There’s only ONE thing bad about Autumn, that it ends. If there was a place on earth with perpetual Autumn I would move there in a heartbeat. ❤😊

i've been following your account for almost a year now .. BEST DECISION EVERRRR . Thanks for all these beautiful videos . ❤️

A poem I made!

You wake up to rain dripping down your windowsill.
You hear the wind gushing with excitement.
You get out of bed and change from your silky pajamas to your burnt brown sweater and long waisted leggings.
You comb your once messy hair.
You walk outside and feel the rain starting to trickle down your forehead.
Your hair and clothing is now wet, but you don’t care.
You are filled with so much delight from the rain, you don’t even notice the now soaking wet clothes.
You run back inside and grab your favorite book and start to read it near the oven where your mother is baking her delicious pumpkin cookies.
Today you truly feel like autumn has come.
And the truth is, it only comes when your mind decides it comes.
And that is the beauty to the season.

It's been abnormally warm here in PA these past few weeks (I'm taking consistently in the seventies and eighties), but it finally cooled down a bit today. I went to the zoo with my roommate, and they were having "boo at the zoo." All of the kids were dressed up in costumes, there was a cool breeze, and it finally started to smell like Autumn. Just a perfect day 🍂🐻

Fall is YOUR season! I adore your clothes and all the efforts you make for fall to be meaningful to you. This inspires me so much!

[nataliedube]

I really love your videos, i think its really important to romanticize every season because just waiting for the one season is boring, there is beauty in all of lifes seasons.
some of my favorite fall activities are:
-cooking autumnal meals (Butternut/acorn squash soup, mini thanksgiving dinners, homemade bread, etc)
-baking cozy desserts like pumpkin and apple and harry potter themed foods
-having a harry potter movie marathon with THEMED FOOD, the best
-going for cozy car rides, (solo, with family, or with friends) with the heat on in the car, autumn jazz playlist, and going down the abandoned roads need my house to see creepy old houses, cemeteries, and fall leaves
-read witch/ monster/ vampire/ mystery/ goosebumps/ Nancy drew/ or any autumn books somewhere with a view, such as a river, hillside, pond, indoors, outdoors, or even at a cozy coffee shop or bookshop near you
-amsr or ambience playlist on youtube have my heart (harry potter and halloweentown ones too!)
-candles, pumpkins, hot tea or coffe or hot cocoa
-scary movies, or even thrillers, or my personal favorite childrens halloween movies like hocus pocus
-dressing up for halloween the entire week of halloween or wearing things that make you feel seasonal (boots, cozy jeans, fuzzy sweaters, big sweatshirts)
-tim burton movies as background
-having tarot card readings or candle light conversations with friends or siblings
-pumpkin picking with family friends, or even pets, apple orchards have my heart
-bring a home cooked meal to a relative
- anything you look forward to this time of year

God your videos have inspired me to really get into the seasons and enjoy the little things. Especially as an introvert as well it makes me alone time so much more enjoyable as I am in my apartment surrounded by my fall and Halloween decorations with my fall scented candles and pumpkin cookies and pumpkin spice hot chocolate while I am reading a spooky book.
This is my best life.

The video photography alone in this video is worthy of an award, I love all the moments you captured. I also adore your home and the places you choose to visit and how you romanticize your life. I have ADHD and anxiety and I think this is super helpful for those of us who struggle with living in the future and not in the present. Thank you so much for making it possible to romanticize even the littlest pieces and parts of autumn

[laleynne]

as someone who lives in a tropical country her whole life, i wish i could experience autumn, it must've been a wonderful season.

[emmeryan]

Something that feels like autumn to me is making a cup of tea before bed and curling up to read one of my comfort books. Absolutely love this season!🍁

[thattomboy]

There really is no words to describe the beauty of Autumn. The pumpkins, the yellowing cornstalks, the apple and pumpkin spice, the crisp air, the warm and neutral colors, the spooky vibes at the end of October, the thrift-y feel, the warm drinks (hot cocoa is my personal fave), the PUMPKIN PIE, the leatherbound books, the scented candles, the huge amounts of compatible aesthetics (dark academia, dark cottagecore, etc), the thick sweaters, the cozy blankets, the crackling fireside, the scenery (autumn must be Nature's favorite season), the thick, warm socks, the fun movies, the decor...the list goes on forever. I love it so much. I can't wait for Autumn to come around again. Thanks, Desi, for the extra fall vibes!

Since my yard, gardens, countertops, pantry, refrigerator, and food dryer are all currently filled with apples, pumpkins, squash, tomatoes, herbs, crabapples, nuts, mushrooms, pears etc., and the leaves are changing color and the wind is swirling everything around in preparation for some rain later, it's hard to get away from fall here. I'm definitely not complaining. I'm living my best life. I'm reading all the gothic and spooky books. Making soups. Drinking teas with rich earthy flavors. Using all my autumnal dishware. We didn't decorate as much as we usually do as we have two very curious young floofs that try to knock over or eat anything new in the house. Maybe next year. We did put up all the outside decorations.
