my youtube channel!

hello there,

it's been forever, i know. my life has been craaazy these past couple of months with school and everything, but i do have some very exciting news that most of you are already aware of!

i just recently created my very own youtube channel and i am so excited to start uploading videos for you all! i already have two videos posted and ready for your own enjoyment, but i haven't had the chance to film these past two weeks because i have been having some "technical difficulties" with previously filmed videos and i haven't had much time to film more. i have also been borrowing my friends camera since i do not have one of my own quite yet, so we need to set up a day where i can just record and edit a ton of videos. hopefully i can film another quick tag this saturday or something...

i am currently on spring break and spending my week in newport with my family, and this morning i woke up and thought i would just write a quick little post explaining my thoughts on the whole youtube thing.

so basically my parents where a little hesitant about me making a channel because they're scared about my personal security, so they made a rule that my last name can not be shared to the public. (which is why i go by 'molly suzanne' - suzanne being my middle name...) i would like to ask all people that know my last name to please keep it private online because if the word gets out i will have to delete all my accounts and everything which i really do not want to do, ahaaha.

also, i do not have a regular posting schedule yet and i can't promise to stick to one until my summer break starts. i am not fully committing my time to this whole video making thing yet, because i do in fact have a life outside the internet and there are much more important things to focus on. all i'm asking is for you to just be patient with me and know that although i probably won't be uploading videos weekly anytime soon, i will try my best to please you all and to have the best channel possible.

i would looove to get requests for new videos because i'm not really sure what you guys would be interested in seeing from me... while i'm figuring out all the details out about my channel and posting schedule and everything, it would be fantastic if i could get some ideas. please let me know through twitter or instagram or just leave a comment on my channel or blog!

and since i am now maintaining a youtube channel it will be even more difficult to blog but stay with me here. i promise i will try my best to write to you all more often than usual. :)

thank you so much for your understanding and thank you for reading this quick little post!

always, molly xx

true beauty rant.

dear no one . . .

i know i've been posting a bunch lately. please forgive me. all my friends are out of town and i don't have much to do. anyways, recently i've been thinking about girls being insecure these days and about real beauty... i thought i would just sort of write my thoughts about it on here just incase anybody wanted to hear from me. oh, and just to let you know, if you decide to go to my instagram after reading this and comment "preach it girl!!1!1 🙌" on my photo then you can just leave, i'm sorry.

so my definition of true beauty is probably a little different than yours. lots of people see beauty in flawless skin, or in makeup. others see it in friendship. some see it in people that are kind to one another. but in my opinion, the most beautiful people are the people that find the beauty in everything. like the people that look forward to seeing sunsets every day, or the people that love finding the perfect leaf. the people that fill their lives with beautiful things are the most beautiful people.

it doesn't even make sense to call ourselves ugly, because we never even see ourselves. i mean, yeah, we see ourselves in pictures all the time, but we can never see ourselves in the eyes of somebody else. we can't see ourselves sleeping in bed, curled up silently with our chests rising & falling with our own rhythm. we don't see ourselves reading a book, eyes fluttering and glowing. you don't see yourself looking at someone with love and care in your heart. there's no mirror in your way when you're laughing and smiling and pure happiness is leaking out of you. you would know exactly how bright and beautiful you are if you saw yourself in the moments where you are truly your authentic self. 

if you don't think you are very smart or good looking or what not then why don't you focus on things that you actually do like about yourself. like maybe you are good at remembering birthdays, or you are gentle and kind with animals, or you are good at being patient with children or you have mastered the art of roasting marshmallows to perfection. you don't need to be einstein or a top model to celebrate yourself.

i know that the phrase "everyone is beautiful" has never actually made someone feel better about themselves, ever... but think about it this way. you are a human with the ability to read this writing and the ability to understand what i'm typing right now. you have a brain and eyes and a mouth and most likely arms and legs to do whatever you want. you can function as a person and that itself is beautiful. so maybe you don't have the most stunning eyes or the most luscious hair or whatever, but there's so much cool stuff that you can do or so many gorgeous features about you that others wish they had. seriously, i know that there is at least one person that has looked at you and thought, 'wow, that person is really beautiful', wether it was your friend, or your coach or your mom... there's someone that really thinks you're gorgeous. i promise you that.

here is a little message to the boys that could possibly be reading this. if you see a girl at school and you think her new haircut looks pretty, simply tell her. it's not that difficult. if you see a random stranger out in public and she's wearing sweats, her hair is up in a messy bun and she has no makeup on, tell her that you think she's beautiful. now don't just randomly go up to a stranger and tell her she's super hot and ask for her number... that's not what i'm saying. if you tell a girl she's beautiful then she will remember that and it will make her entire day complete. even if she laughs in your face, then you will know that she's not that beautiful on the inside, but don't be scared. you would actually really be benefiting both people. this girl (who is most likely very insecure like everyone else) would be given an amazing compliment, and you would be known as a nice person.

here is a little message to all the girls that could possibly be reading this. we all want what we don't have. everybody who has curves wants to have a thigh gap and everybody who is skinny wants curves and everybody that is short wants to be tall and everybody who's really tall feels awkward and wants to be short. i'm almost 5'5 and i would give anything to be 5'2, but no matter how hard i wish, i'm not gonna just wake up one day and have magically shrunken 3 inches. everybody is jealous of each other but remember that the person you're jealous of is jealous of someone else, and someone is jealous of you.

so that is my rant today. i hope that you take this to heart and respect my opinions. thank you so much for reading this far. i know i wrote a lot. i'm glad i got to finally blog about this topic because i have been wanting to film a youtube video on it for a while now but i changed my mind because i don't know how i feel about my face being on youtube. anyways, school is starting again tomorrow so i won't be posting as often again. thanks again for reading. i love you!

always, molly x

things to do & not to do when you're bored.

dear no one . . .

there's only a few more days of winter break, and if you're a loser like me then you don't have any plans. not having school for 2 weeks is amazing, don't get me wrong, but it's easy to get bored when all your friend's are on vacation and you're at home without anything to do. furthermore, here is a list of things to do when you're bored.

1. make yourself a cup of hot chocolate, tea or coffee.

2. paint your nails.

3. watch a movie on netflix.

4. organize your bedroom.

5. play a board game with your family.

6. write out your name in cool new ways.

7. build a fort with your little siblings and spend the night in it.

8. go on a bike ride.

9. check out a new book at the library.

10. dance to your favorite song on full-blast.

11. brush your hair until it's unbelievably soft.

12. make a collage of your favorite outfits, quotes and photos and hang it up on your wall.

13. text your friends and remind them that you love them.

14. bake some cookies.

15. plant a flower.

16. take a bubble-bath.

17. write down all of your negative thoughts on a piece of paper and put it in a paper shredder.

18. release a balloon into the sky.

19. go for a walk.

20. write a list of things that make you happy.

sometimes when we're bored, we tend to do some things that aren't healthy for us or just not good to do in general. here is a list of things NOT to do when you're bored...

1. don't complain about how bored you are.

2. don't spend too much time on your phone, computer or watching TV.

3. don't eat unless you're actually hungry. try not to confuse your hunger with boredom. 

4. don't over-sleep.

5. if you're in a bad mood, don't take it out on your family. get some alone time.

hope this post was helpful & i hope the rest of your winter break is wonderful!

always, molly x

merry christmas / new years!

dear no one . . .

hello! i just wanted to wish you all a lovely winter break! i'm hoping that you all had a wonderful christmas spent with your family and loved ones. let me know what you got in the comments, or you could always notify me through twitter, kik or instagram.

the main reason why i'm writing this post is to just talk about my year and how blessed i am to know such wonderful people. a lot happened in 2013. the highlights of my year where definitely meeting ariana, my trip to hawaii and going to two weeks of ponderosa lodge. i played a lot of tennis, listened to a lot of music, and laughed a lot. 2013 definitely had challenges as well, but i have such amazing friends that helped get me through all of it. shoutout to tabitha, shelby, gia, amy and all my other incredible friends. i truly love you guys so much. i don't know what i would do without y'all.

i know i made mistakes this year, but i know that i am forgiven. i'm hoping to make 2014 the best year yet, and i can't wait to see what god has in store for me. as for my new-years resolutions... there's just too many to type. i'm really going to try to work harder in school and to procrastinate less. (:

hope that you're all have a relaxing winter break!

thanks for reading!

always, molly

Updated my blog!

Dear No One;

(As you can tell, I sort of have a new blog theme going on, and I'm going to start all of my new posts with "Dear No One;", hence the blog name.) ☺️ This post doesn't have a specific theme, really. I just have a couple "announcements" to make!

First of all, I wanted to apologize for not writing in forever! I have been so busy lately with school work and such that I haven't had much time to blog... I promise to make up for it somehow. I noticed today that while I was gone, I hit 1,200+ views on here. That's seriously crazy, guys! Knowing that my blog has been viewed over 1,200 times motivates me to post more. I decided to update my blog a little bit so I'm able to write more often.

Basically, I'm going to be blogging more personal things on here. I will write about my dreams, goals, ideas and life experiences. From time to time, I will post D.I.Y's or recipes, but I think I will be able to post more if it's just quick little updates on my life. I'm not going to delete my earlier entries, but from here on out, this blog will be more about me. I hope you all find joy in my posts & are thoroughly 'entertained'. 💕

Thank you for reading -- I love you all!

Always, Molly

Back to school: organization tips.

Hello!

I hate to say it, but Summer Vacation is coming to an end... and that means it's back to school! I thought that it would be fun to do a little 'Back to school, organization tips' sort of post. I will tell you all of the supplies that will be helpful to have, and were to get it all.

The first thing that is mandatory to have is a big binder to hold all of your school work. Fill it with a ton of binder paper and stack up a ton of folders for all of your classes. Purchase labeler's for each of the pockets. You don't want any of your homework getting mixed up! (A fun way to personalize your binder is to get one with a slip cover. That way, you can design a paper filled with all of your favorite pictures, stickers and notes. Any time you are getting out your assignment, you can get a sweet little reminder of all of those happy things in your life!)

Something that you might want to have with you at school is a pencil box filled with pencil's, pens, highlighters, markers and crayons. (If you don't want to carry a little box around all day, you could always get a little pouch thing to clip to your binder instead.) Make sure to also include scissors, whiteout, sticky notes, glue and a sharpie! If you have lockers at your school, you can always decorate it with a miniature white board or mirror! (Don't forget the Expo markers!) It's handy to write down your schedule somewhere where you can see it in your locker, so if you every forget between classes, you can see it right away. You can get all of the supplies listed above at your local 'Staples' or 'Office Max'...

A good way to stay organized throughout the year is to keep a calendar / planner in your backpack at all times. I like to write down all of my assignments & project due dates, just so I don't loose track of them. I also recommend keeping flashcards throughout the year so you can memorize things quickly, and remember to highlight all of that important information so you can remember it when you're studying! make sure to eat healthy & get a good night sleep every night! :)

Hoping you all have a fantastic school year! Try to stay focused & avoid drama at all costs. Everything will turn out fine! Love you all so much!

I also wanted to say thanks for almost 800, (almost 900) page views! It means so much to me!

Have a wonderful day, and enjoy the rest of your summer while you can!

Always, Molly
XOXOXO
