SUMMER RECOMMENDATIONS 🌤 beach reads, summery movies & tv shows and ideas to romanticize summer!

Ойын-сауық

Happy summertime, friends! 🌊🍉🌻🐚🌴
In today's video I recommend some summery/beachy books, movies, tv shows and activities to get you in the mood for summer! For me, this summer is all about all things breezy, warm and light. Mediterranean Mamma mia summer vibes. Everything coastal grandmother and nautical. Growing up, I didn't enjoy summer very much (living in Arizona and Utah in the desert, I just could not enjoy the extreme heat, dryness and lack of greenery) but since I've started immersing myself in my imagination with the help of aesthetics like "mamma mia European summer" and "coastal grandmother" and "cottagecore" I've been able to find ways to truly enjoy this beautiful season. Now I really do honestly love summer, and I hope maybe some of these tips and ideas can help you to enjoy it a bit more if you're also someone who struggles to find the beauty in this season 💙
If you have any suggestions about how to romanticize and enjoy summer, I'd love it if you could leave your ideas in the comment section for others to read! You might really be able to help inspire others to find little joys this summertime! :)

    Just a reminder to everyone that you don't have to look a certain way to enjoy Summer. There is so much pressure on us to have the perfect body and be perfectly shaven, and this is probably the most difficult season for many of us in terms of body image. I love the way Desi romanticises each season, and helps us find joy in the little moments. However, acceptance of your body and your life the way they are is equally important, and I hate the way society and social media puts so much pressure onto women to look a certain way. Your value is so much more than the way you look, and a woman's body is the least interesting thing about her. Go have fun! ❤️

    This 🙌🏻💗 Summer is a time for doing things that make us happy and enjoying the weather despite what we think we “should” look or even feel like. Last summer I was really struggling with my mental health and I constantly was comparing myself to everyone having such a good time and being happy. If I would have just compared myself less and focused more on just accepting and nurturing myself, I would have had such a better time. Having fun should absolutely be top priority over everything else 💗

    I really struggle with Summer. I get so down when the temperatures get super hot. I feel like summer has this expectation of always having to be great and for me it’s four months of anxiety. I really appreciate your videos and they help me to realize that it’s the little things. Instead of focusing on the snakes and bugs focusing on the birds and flowers, that sort of thing. Thank you for being such a light :) Two of my favorite movies for summer are Stand by Me and Indian Summer.

    I struggle a lot with summer. Growing up, I was most prone to depression & anxiety in the summer because my home life wasn’t great & I was stuck at home. Your videos are always so calming & they bring me so much joy! I’m in a season of a lot of changes & difficulties going on in my life, but this video brought me so much comfort ❤️ and inspired me to try to enjoy summer. Usually I spend the whole summer saying “You know what’s great about this month?! It’s only _____ months until September!” I love fall so much, but maybe I can start loving summer too. Even if it’s because it’s the prequel to my favorite season ☀️

    I have also experienced the most anxiety and panic attacks during the summer especially since graduating high school. Every summer was just a time of limbo where plans weren't settled for the fall and the future was uncertain if not outright bleak. 5+ years later summer has stayed that way, but I loved summer as a kid and want to find things I like about it again. Fall is also my favorite, so I like thinking of it as a prequel 😄

    I loved this video. Last night, I finished reading “Where the Crawdads Sing”. My mom passed away in 2019, and before that she begged me to read it. I now know she so badly wanted to discuss it with me. Sadly, I just couldn’t read during that year. I was going through so much. Well, I sobbed through it. I absolutely loved it. I don’t know if you had read it. I know many people love this book. It is now on my favorite list. The movie comes out in July and Taylor Swift has a song on the soundtrack. This book will stay with me for a very long time for so so many reasons. Thank you for your beautiful videos!

    Your story reminded me of my dad. "Where the Crawdads Sing" was the last book he read before he died. He told me to read it because he thought I would like it. It's been almost three years now and I still haven't read the book because up until this point it has been too painful. Maybe it will be healing to read it?

    @@sarahlopinot906 Aw, so sorry! It’s a book you need to talk to someone about after reading it. The fact your dad wanted you to read this, tells me he was so proud of you, and that the main character resonated with him, and her strength probably reminded him of you. I lost my dad when I was young. He was my everything! Even though I don’t know you, please know that my heart goes out to you. Read this beautiful book. Talk to your dad while you read it, and cry, cry, cry. And I can tell you something else, your dad was an amazing man because he picked up this book in the first place. Delia Owens shows her readers the definition of what a man should be and what he shouldn’t. There will be so many beautiful messages your dad will give you while you read this book. Keep in touch! I have a KZread channel under my name that discusses vintage, thrifting, books etc…. I’d love to hear back from you. Big hugs my friend! ❤️🍄❤️

    @ Moss Stone Story Vintage Thank you for the kind words and taking the time to reply. Before it was too painful to read this book but I plan on getting to it this summer. Would live to read it before the movie comes out. It's funny because Where the Crawdads Sing is not a book my dad would typically pick up. He was very much a non-fiction (science, nature, history) reader but said he saw it on a book list and thought it sounded good. Anyway, thank you for giving me the nudge to pick it up and think about my dad while reading it. I know their will be tears! Sorry that you too have experienced the loss of a parent. It leaves such a hole in one's life. I will definitely check out your channel. Sounds like something I would enjoy!

    I’d highly recommend the beautiful and uplifting ‘Enchanted April’ by Elizabeth Van Armin. It takes you back to Italy in the 1920’s with three women who are suffering from neglect, loveless relationships and a feeling of hopelessness. They then travel to a castle in Italy and life starts to transform. It surrounds me with the hope that I can open up to new possibilities, friendship and that the power of love can melt even the stoniest of hearts. Enjoy xx

    Hey Desi. Thanks so much for your recommendations. I get a bit overwhelmed by summer too, but I'm feeling inspired to dig into it in a more intentional way this year. I love your joyful vibe and also your vulnerability in stating that you don't always feel great but make the effort necessary to change that up. It's a great message for us all. I love your hair like this... but also loved it longer and red. ❤ Happy summer. xo karen

    Thank you so much for all your recommendations! I have made a Summer to do list a few days ago and can now add a few more points to it, super excited to enjoy this Summer as much as I can. The weather in England can be pretty unpredictable so I try to make the most out of any ray of sunshine that comes my way. Love your videos so much, your passion shines through and is very infectious!

    One of my favorite summer things is 4th of July celebration. When I was attending BYU in Provo I was dazzled by their fireworks display. Also hiking the mountains, putting your drinks in the freezing water and just enjoying nature and friends. Have you seen Enchanted April? It's a movie about a group of women renting out a villa in Italy, The scenery is amazing.

    This is just what I needed!! It's been so hot, my allergies are yucky and I'm a bit antsy for I don't know what. 😕 I love your videos so much. They teach me to slow down and not rush around all the time. To appreciate the things we may not appreciate. Stay safe! Nostalgic movies for me are many 30s, 40s and 50s movies. 50s, 60s and 70s shows. And 50s through 80s songs. (I'm a young heart with an old soul 💜💙)
