I'm Molly, a typical sushi, makeup, and fashion loving millennial girl who just so happens to be blind! I was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa at just 4 years old and began public speaking at age 5. I started just doing motivational speaking, but now I make videos and even model! Even though I can’t see, I know that there are bright spots in everything we face. Let’s find them together. 💕
What are your holiday plans this year? For more holiday vibes, watch this: dehave.info/down/d5mTiY6zp5fauWU/video
I was looking forward to reading about love languages that you mentioned, but it's not in the description. :(
hey youre probably not aware, but you cant put any liquids or gels in the post. .....dont want the package to not get there when youve put so much effort in! but check it, maybe whatever post service youre using is fine with it...but we cant send anything from ireland to europe. even lipsticks and mascara and stuff?!?!? good luck
You didn't link the free gift ideas in the description!
My plans include spending Christmas Day with my immediate family - Mum, Dad, Sister and nephew. I live in England and there are restrictions in place due to COVID. My Nana, aunt and uncle won't be coming because of their health and other reasons (they usually come every year). I usually see my Dad's side of the family - many aunties, uncles and cousins. Unfortunately, that won't happen because we want to be safe. Christmas will be different this year, but I will still appreciate being with my family. :) I'll have a Christmas dinner and desert. I'll probably eat chocolate and watch cosy Christmas movies. I hope that your Christmas will be lovely. You'll be reunited with your Dad which is great. It's sad that you'll not see your brother. I understand it is tough living in England with the restrictions and make tough decisions to not see family and friends. Thankfully, we have technology that allows us to virtually get in touch with people. :)
I'm actually spending Christmas alone this year, my family are going to visit my grandparents but I'm staying home due to planning it when rules were different. Super excited for it to just be me, the dog and the cat!
i know im super late but who helped you edit this video then haha?
Is that a Bearaby knitted weighted blanket on your bed!!!! I love them!
Waiting for that palm tree picture on ig
I wanna see the necklace! 🌴
Where can we buy the handmade Aunt Blankets???
What about your editor!? 😉
Does ur aunt have a link for those comfortable blankets?
4:29 “I knew they would go and buy said thing if I didn’t tell them not to” happens all the time lol
2:36 I see Gallop. Hi gallop 👋🏽🙂
I want one of those blankets now
I wasn't able to see my parents for eight months because my dad is very high risk for the virus.... He died a week ago...........
For my grandma this year I made her a gift basket full of movie themed stuff, popcorn blankets snacks and such and I made little movie tickets with the movie we are going to watch and the day I plan on going and watching it with her. I usually like giving experiences such as tickets to the zoo or theme park or polar express but with covid I thought it was a good little spin off
Hi moly sorry to get off the subject I have a son who is 3 and is visually impaired however he can see can u see anything at all? Btw you are so pretty 😀
Wait you said your moms husband I thought that your mom and dad where still together correct me if I’m wrong cuz I’m not sure but ether way I’m not trying to be mean or anything I’m just confused.
Another cheap gift idea that’s super easy Is fudge
Mama B is just the cutest 🥰🥰🥰
Lavender is so grown up!
I stayed till the end for the free gift ideas and they were not great xD
That 24 days of tea set is really cool! I never knew an advent calendar existed for tea!
I think Lavender got all excited when she heard the word tree.
Hi, I was curious how you shop for new audiobooks without sight. My grandmother lost her sight recently, and I’ve been trying to come up with a way for her to pick out new books to listen to when she doesn’t have someone else around (thanks covid)
Molly's family is just a mash up of different countries
I cracked up at the " Lavender this isn't about you" moment and how she was not impressed with that response.
I know how hard it is to be away from family, my older brother lives away because of work, and his girlfriend and daughter stay with my family because of there home situation, I see him more often, then you see you're brother, but it's sad thinking that he can't watch his daughter grow up step by step - she was born in June this year so is only 6 months.
Can I just like get your aunts email? 😂😂 I need one of those blankets!!!
Totally unrelated but you should interview blind painter Camille jassny!!!! Yasss that would be so cool!!!!
"Do I look cozy?" That was so adorable 😂❤
Does your aunt have a website so I can have a look at the blankets?
I have an away suitcase and a monos suitcase. I prefer the monos because as you go up in size the compartments on the dividers change to reflect that, so the medium has 4 compartments rather than just two. Helps keep everything organized! It also came with two shoe bags and a laundry bag.
You are so nice friendly and kind and this is where I am going to hit the bell because you are a person who deserves more in life then you already have I really can't put into words how to describe you but your amazing ok keep up the good work on youtube I will now forever watch you because your amazing LOL
When you said and my moms husband I really confused trying to figure out who else you were talking about. Then it hit me your dad her husband. 😂
For a moment I thought that one my cat Juniper 🤣 she has the same meow for when she wants canned food
How much is the tea advent calendar? I clicked the link but it wants my email lol
I'm 13 me and my brother are super close, if I wasn't able to see him for a year, I'd really miss him..
Molly’s videos are always so calming to watch. I love how her videos are so down to earth and mellow.
Hahaa Molly, I thought you said Niamh was to leave too... lol Youre such a great gift giver and giver in general!
Hi Molly! fellow Torontonian here! My mom owns a small business called bloom beauty in Toronto that offers all clean, natural, and vegan makeup and skincare, including all clean services. Obviously, due to the pandemic, she had to close down but is still offering curb side and online orders. We would love to put together a care package for you to try out while you're in town! Let me know what you think! (P.s. also a fellow sick kids ophthalmology patient :) ) mybloombeauty.com/
Are there any DEhavers you’ve stayed friends with or keep in touch with?
Its snowy and 21 degees here in Montana.
I want an update on Adrian’s favorite teas lol
molly: h- lavender: hELLO I AM HERE
Your story about your brother made me tear up. My sister and sister-in-law live internationally in Myanmar. We usually go a long time without seeing them. But this is time it’s extra long and it’s really hard not seeing them this year.
My love language is quality time underneath that is acts of service :) great video Molly! I hope all of your family and friends love your gifts (im sure they will) :)
So great that you included the free ideas. This year is my baby's first Christmas and probably the first Christmas that our 3 year old will remember. We're doing what we can to make it special for them (although of course the baby won't remember it).
"I'm blind. Here's photos" 😆 Love you Molly!
Totally random question, do guide dog schools give you rules when you have a guide dog? I train guide dogs for one school and they give us puppy raisers so many rules (approved toys, food, tricks/tasks taught, etc.)?
Molly I hope you see this message I saw you and James Charles you doing his makeup and I heard that you got bullied my friend is not blind she is deaf and she got bullied
Hi Molly, I have a instagram page where I talk about my sensorineural hearing loss journey. I talk about how I found out about my diagnosis. My bullying story, spreading hearing loss awareness and talking about my hearing aids. It would be a dream come true if we got the chance to do a live collab on IGTV, talking about our disabilities. I've been watching your videos since day one and you are the reason why I started my instagram page. You inspire me to talk about my hearing loss story. If anyone wants to follow my page my instagram is Hear_Courtney thank you! 😊
What about her best friend?
Fun fact, Trader Joe's is actually the American version of a branch of Aldi called Aldi Nord! Essentially, Aldi was founded in Germany by two brothers, who each went on to run their own branches of it, Nord (north) and Süd (south). The south one came to the US as simply Aldi, and the North one came as Trader Joe's!
I am very lucky here in New Zealand because Covid isn't too bad here so I'm able to spend Christmas with all my family
Just the luggage she bought alone cost over 2x as much as I spent on gifts for 12 people and I even did hand made gifts as well because I couldn't afford much lol I love giving gifts so I wish I could afford to give gifts like this
thanks for telling the truth about AWAY luggage
hello Molly
The way your mom ran out of the room was hilarious 😭
What about your best friend? :o or did i miss him somehow?
Even though your from Canada 🇨🇦 it's interesting that you are " L.A. cold" when did that start for you?
the sweater 😍😍😍
I loved this video. Just hearing mollys voice brings joy to my day💙
I remember doing coupons books for my parents on various holidays. For Christmas my siblings always took my to get stuff for my parents, and my parents would take me to get stuff for my siblings. For mothers day, fathers day and even their birthdays, it was always coupon books and they loved it.
Bill gates and new boyfriend cool content will definately follow again.
My mom, dad, and brother are in LA and I'm in the UK, so I totally nderstand how sad you are about not being able to travel. I'm very thankful for whatsapp-
lavender has got so grown up omg !!!!
“Welcome to this cozy, chunky-knit corner of the internet, where we snuggle up and we chat 💛” love it so muchhhh (it’s honestly beautiful to have this, a place where we belong, we love others and everyone likes sweaters as much as I do lol)
Jesus offers the free gift of salvation to all who believe in him.
I can relate with the not seeing your brother and dad for a long time. Both my brother and dad live in a different continent and it won’t be possible to see them for Xmas this year either. It sucks, but safety first right. Hopefully next year 🤞🏼
Where I live we have a lock down in place so we cant, see family for Christmas 😭
I’m confused about how you feel like you’re able to travel safely from LA to Toronto, but your brother isn’t able to travel safely? I’m under the impression that all air travel isn’t particularly safe right now, especially around the holidays.
Any suggestions for what to get a narcissist parent that you don't really want to spend money on for xmas?
I don't see the free gift ideas in the description?
My parents and I live in Canada and the rest of my family lives in Israel and we have not seen each other in 3 years.
This hair colour is so beautiful on you!
Molly Burkeacet
"I'm blind here's photos" lol I love your personality.
I can’t wait to see your mums present, it sounds so pretty, she’s going to love it 💜
What about your friend who used to help with your video?😊
I love to give gifts as wall its my way to show love even if it's just simple symbolic things. By the way the sound on this video is very very low and I put it on the highest... So If you can please fix that so more people can enjoy your video I will so appreciate it😍🙏♥️
I know how you feel with your brother. I hadn’t seen my brother in 9 months and after Christmas it will have been a year that I haven’t been to the country I was born and where my family lives. Normally I go 3-5 times a year.
Your mum really looked like an elf when sneaking out of frame! :D
AHHH Niamh (If that’s how you spell it lol) is SO CUTE
I am staying home for Christmas and spend time with family
Hi Molly, I have watched many of your videos and your videos have really helped me to understand the technology etc that my blind friend uses and what it is like to be blind. Thank you!
It will be 2 years since I have seen my family when I see them this summer.
Normalize getting your parnter practical things rather to expensive things they'll likely never or barely use again ☺️
You got your necklace fixed! 😍😊
Why is Nev sneaking away so cute 😊?
I have some vacation time right before christmas 😄 gonna relax big time 😄
Molly, you keep teasing with more info about love languages, but I'm never able to find anything in the description box 😉
Mama Bee must be so proud of Molly. She’s just so intelligent and beautiful and seems to be doing so well. I’ve been watching Molly’s channel for six months and her videos bring me so much pure joy. Thank you so much!!!
1:12 Here is where you log into your secret account and watch the video if you are Molly's family or friends? LoL 🤣🎁🔮
I love how Lavender is making an issue but meanwhile Gallop is just sleeping behind you
You are such a great gift giver !! I used your idea last year and gifted my fiancé a years subscription to his favorite magazine !
Where can I get some of those blankets!?
Are we able to order a blanket from Auntie Lynn?🥺😍☹️ That blanket sounds amazing!!!!
Does anyone know where Molly's necklace is from??
@layla4288 woah ok wow 😳 thanks for your help! now i know
Maria EF Collection, All The Feels necklace. It’s $2,995 😳!
Enjoy your time with your dad Molly! I know how close you are, and not being able to spend time together with him this year like you have in the past, because of this darn pandemic, it sucks. I'm trying to keep my family away this Christmas. They are "anti maskers", and they all want to visit. The problem is, my mom is diabetic with dementia, I have 2 heart conditions and several other immune conditions, my son has several of the same conditions I have, and we don't want this virus! They don't care about our health. They just want us to cook for them. Not happening! My sister announced on the phone with my mom tonight that they're all coming.. she didn't say no. She doesn't know how to anymore. My sister doesn't want to talk to me.
Most of your viewers can’t afford $600 on a set of luggage😒This video is just flaunting and not relatable.
She isn’t trying to make you buy it 🙄 She is saying that’s what she got her family and would recommend them if you travel a lot
Adrian is so laid back, soft spoken, and chill that I can’t see him being extra. But he’s so positive and down to try things that I can see what you mean. He’s definitely a keeper for sure.
I love your new hair and this cute sweater!
