Polka Dot Bee 123 etsy shop purchase // Review

WOW.

It has been almost a month since I last posted.

Whoops?

All I can say is that life has been super busy lately and I really dislike it...
:P

Well, today's post is on a recent etsy purchase from the lovely Polka Dot Bee. You should definitely follow her blog! She sews the most adorable outfits for her dolls. 
Check out her etsy shop here.
I fell in LOVE with the seersucker skirt when I first saw it, and knew I HAD to have it in my doll's wardrobe and what can I say? It's plain adorable!


I think Madison rocked it. :)





The other item I purchased was the cream and blue T-shirt.
I absolutely love the pattern on the fabric! 




The pink flowers are so pretty. o.O
What I also really love about it is that when you see it from afar, you just see the pattern of the fabric and not the details of the flowers, and the lace type thing, yet when you get closer you start to see it and its SO pretty. It tricked me when I first saw it... XD



Over all I'm super happy with my purchase!
Everything is adorable and fits my dolls so well. If you're looking to purchase some
new clothes for your dolls you should definitely consider this etsy shop!
In a recent blog post I shared some of my tips for buying off of etsy in case you're a little unsure whether buying off of there is a good thing to do.
See that post here for some of my tips. :)

This is kinda off topic but I really need help deciding what personality Madison should have!
I seriously haven't figured it out yet which is kinda sad tbh...
So if you have any suggestions comment them below!
It's much appreciated.

Saige's hair routine ~ Hair how-to

Hello everyone!
I am SO sorry that I haven't been posting these past weeks!
School has been a little hectic lately and I've just been so focused on life and other things that I haven't had much time for dolls.
But I have been getting a ton of requests to do a post on how I take care of Saige's hair!
And sorry I haven't done this sooner, this was requested a while back but I've finally had time to 
do a post about it!

I hope you enjoy!

~

What you will need:

  1. A American Girl brush (Or a wire wig brush)
  2. A spray bottle filled with water (Only use water in your dolls hair)
  3. One hair band/clip for sectioning off hair


 Okay, so the first thing I do is brush out her hair completely to get all of the tangles out.
Above is what it looks like when you do so.


Next, I section a small piece of her hair by pulling up the hair that I will not be curling at the moment into a pony tail. 


Next, I section small pieces of hair off from that thin section and start individually spraying the piece  with water and curling finger curling it.


This is the first layer all done!


Next, I section another part of the hair off like we did earlier and begin to repeat
the same steps as previous.


After I have done all of her hair, this is my finished result!


The next thing I do is I scrunch all of the curls with my hands.
By doing this, it adds a feel of looseness, and like the curls are naturally curly.

And you're done!
Every once in a while I do put her hair into sponge rollers when her
 hair starts to get a little droopy. I usually do that about 4 times a year though...
Haha, or whenever I remember... xD

Hope you found this helpful!
If you have any requests for hairstyles on specific dolls, just let me know!
Just know that I'm really bad at special requests... xD
I can't seem to ever come through with the post.
Oops. xD

Well thanks for reading!
Let me know if you try this and it works out for you!
Every person is different when it comes to taking care of their dolls hair,
but I've found that this is just what works for me.
