The Cute and Cool Today Shoppe; 1 3DS Game and 1 American Girl bed

Hey everybody, I recently set up a listing on eBay.

This American Girl bed has been a place of peace for many play-weary dolls and Webkinz stuffed animals for 9 whole years!
Feel free to check it out. If you want to negotiate, comment a price. Maybe we can meet in the middle. :)

If dolls aren't your thing, though, I also have the Collector's Edition of Adventure Time: Hey Ice King, Why'd You Steal Our Garbage?! (Nintendo 3ds) for $49.99, the lowest used price.

Happy shopping from the Cute and Cool Today Shoppe!

Trixie Lulamoon Doll: Hair Restoration

Hey everybody! I have a long list of posts I need to make, including the Equestria Girls 3 pack and the Tamagotchi P's(it got here before Christmas, btw).

Today, though, I noticed that my Trixie doll had terrifying hair! D:

It had been that way ever since I got her!

Here's a tutorial on how to fix it!

Step 1: Grab a doll with a very bad hair day. 

Step 2: Brush all of her hair out so it's got crazy volume and is detangled. Do this step carefully to avoid dolly hair loss. Here's the brush I use for this step:

It's the Build-a-Bear Workshop pony hairbrush, but I think any kind of doll hairbrush will be OK. 

Step 3: Remove the rubber hair tie if you haven't already. Brush again. Separate the three different colors of hair in the back. 

Step 4: Twist the two smaller strands together and clip them to the dress so they don't get in the way. 

Step 5: Separate The bangs from the bulk of the hair. 

Step 6: Tie the bulk in a small elastic band. I used an electric blue rainbow loom band for this. 

Step 7: The hard part. Take a damp(not dropping wet) paper towel and wipe her bangs with it, being careful not to get the rest of her hair wet. A few strands of hair might be lost. Wet the paper towel again, squeeze out most of the moisture, and wrap it around her bangs. Squeeze as hard as you can, getting all the water out of the paper towel. 

Step 8: Pin the wet section back. 

Step 9a(optional): If you want her ponytail on the original side, pull the twisted hair over to the left side. If not, leave it where it is. Regardless, remove the pin at the end. 

Step 9b: If you wanted the ponytail on this side and didn't move the twisted hair, it would end up looking like this. Not bad, just not ideal. 

Step 9c(not optional! Don't skip!): Untwist the hair and tie it all together (with the exception of the bangs) with another ponytail holder. 

Step 10: Unpin the bangs, and then step back and enjoy the finished product! You might have to reshape the bangs a bit by curling them around your finger and you might want to move the colored strands around a bit, but that's pretty much it! The frizzy lump of bangs is gone and the ponytail has more definition. 

'You'd better believe I've got tricks up my sleeve!'

'That's Equestrian Magic!'

Bye for now, and have fun restoring your dolls! Spoiler picture for the next post:

'Why am I wearing children's clothing?! Not saying I don't rock it, because I'm Rainbow Dash, but seriously...'

Tamagotchi P's!

Hello everyone!
I recently ordered a Tamagotchi P's from amazon! :D
In case you don't know, the P's is a full-color Tamagotchi from Japan. It's really glitzy and kawaii.
I wanted a color screen tama, and this is how I figured it was the one for me;

• Tamagotchi + Color : Pretty plain and minimalist, also really basic because it's the first color Tamagotchi. Also way too expensive.
• Tamagotchi ID : Goes for a pretty fair price on eBay, but is kinda plain looking. Basic.
• Tamagotchi ID L : Nice but kind of expensive and not as glitzy or up-to-date as the P's.
• Tamagotchi P's : Glitzy, fun, cute, the most beloved tama next to the 4U, new and up-to-date(Basic 6 colors on left).

I got the blue one. It looks fantastically girly(from online photos, anyway) and I wonder when it will arrive!

It's supposed to arrive anytime from the 10th of December to 20th... of January! XD
You never know with free shipping from Japan, I guess.
Bye for now!

Disney Store Classic Elsa Doll Review

Hey everyone! Today I bring you a review of the Classic Elsa Doll from the Disney Store.

She has the same box as Anna, but with her name at the bottom and art.
Her braid is oddly crimped in the box, but it is slowly straightening out.

The back of the box is the exact same as Anna's.

Looks too easy.

The packaging looks deceptively simple, and it is. Deceptive, I mean. 

It's not simple. 

Mostly free!

Here she is, mostly free. Her dress is absolutely amazing! The cape is covered in blue glitter in snowflake patterns. The bodice is glittery too, and the skirt is satiny blue fabric with a slit.

That's not very queenlike.

She has the same ungraceful toddler sit as Anna.

As you can see, she does not exactly come with ice heels. Instead, she comes with plain blue flats that are roughly the same color as her dress.

I actually quite like them! XD I thought I would be disappointed with them, but they're nice quality and allow her to stand up better than thin heels would.

Another view of the cape.

Her cape is beautiful, but there is a big gap in the back for easy access to the velcro.

The bangs on top of her head are very curly and molded with tons of styling gel.

Her hair is yellow-blonde, yellower than in the movie. Her hair is also a lot longer.

 She has light blush, blue eyes, heavy black eyeliner, and purple eyeshadow.

We meet again!

Here's Elsa next to Anna.

This photo makes it a bit more obvious how purple and pale Elsa is to Anna.

This might be a fluke, but Elsa's fingers appear more widely spaced than Anna's.

I love that they both have sidelong glances so they can look at each other.

They obviously have very different faces and head molds to make this possible.

Oh, and they're also the perfect size for Barbie props.

These are about the only Barbie-sized props I have.

This obviously isn't.

I thought this was a Barbie bed at first, but now I see it REALLY isn't. 

With some effort, it can look cute.

The combination of breadsticks and hot cocoa is a little weird, though.

Bye for now!

Birthday Stuff!

Hey guys! As you may or may not know, I recently had my birthday.
It was tons of fun-I ate burgers at Red Robin, shopped a bit, and has some delicious Gluten Free cupcakes from a local bakery.
I also got some pretty great gifts! :D

Ta-Da!~

I got an MLP Equestria Girls 3-pack of the Cutie Mark Crusaders:

They'll be fun to review! :)

An AWESOME 'Ponies Rock' T-shirt:

In that clipart, Pinkie was originally holding cake.

Super Smash Bros. 3DS(Which I can't stop playing):

Beware the animal crossing villager; He'll K.O. you with his tiny spherical fists.

And last but not least, book 8 of the Dork Diaries series:

They just keep getting better! I already read the whole thing. :P

Later that day, when we went shopping, I got quite a surprise.

The Disney Store at the mall had just had a major restock.

I'm talking packed to the ceiling with Animator's Collection dolls.

I was thinking about getting the singing Elsa doll, but once I saw it in person I decided it wasn't what I anticipated at all.

I settled on a Classic Elsa Doll to match my Anna and I knew that when I saw it I wouldn't want to 'let it go'. 

*Ahem*, please excuse my bad pun. XD

They also had about 3 of the Ice Skating sets with both Anna and Elsa in them. 

The only reasons I didn't get that set is because I already have Anna and, although the Ice Skating set version is slightly different, I don't want duplicates. I also knew that their skates would make it hard to stand them up.

Here she is!

Woah, what's up with her braid???

Since I already took the photos, I'll get the review up soon. I also took photos of some loom bands I bought today which I also need to review. I don't even have photos for the Cutie Mark Crusaders yet, so their review might take a while longer, even though thy were the first to be unboxed.

Wow, I've got a lot to do!

Bye for now! :)

Tamagotchi Friends Review + Thank You

Wow, I haven't made a blog post in a really long time.
Any way, before I write this review, I want to say thank you to everyone who has contributed to my 1000 and counting page views here and the 308 views on my Rainbow Loom Beach Day for Barbie tutorial on YouTube.
I never thought my blog could ever become as popular as it has. Every view counts, I really mean that! :D
Now for the review.

Last week a got a Tamagotchi Friends from Toys R Us. I was super excited to get it because I don't think I've gotten a new one since 2008, or whenever the v5 was released. XD

So much kawaii!

The box is extremely adorable, showing art of the characters and such.

Bandai also added a front flap, reminding us all of the first Tamagotchi release.
There are some highly enhanced screenshots in there, making the screen seem white when it really isn't...

It doesn't even come with a battery, which is why I'm glad that I had some. Instead of the pricey button-cell batteries of the original, it takes 2 AAAs. I found it a little hard to force the batteries into it, but all is well now.

No keyring?
GOOD.

I'm glad that Tamagotchis no longer have keyrings. Sure, that might have been convenient for carrying your precious pet with you wherever you go, but I was always worried about the keyring scratching the screen.

The new TFs are also 2x thicker than the Connections.

Also about 1.5x bigger in circumference. The screw for the battery compartment may not be clearly seen, but on the bottom right-hand side of my TF, you can kind of see that there is a small bump right around where the screw goes.

...

...

Oh, sorry. I had to feed my Tamagotchi.

Where was I?

Oh, yeah.

The Tamagotchi Friends seems much brighter due to the fact that it has a grayscale instead of a permanent background like the older Tamagotchis.

The TF uses NFC connection instead of Infrared.

The Tamagotchi itself is super fun. It has 5 games, two of which you can unlock by doing certain things. There's also a big evolution map. I'm already on generation 2 now with Nokobotchi. I'm sad because that's not a perfect care Tamagotchi! :(

In the first generation I had Knightchi, a perfect care adult. Oh well, I guess your tama can't always be perfect.

There are 6 cool colors to choose from in the USA, and there were 6 different ones in Japan and Europe. While I am happy with the cute star pattern one, there were 3 different animal print ones released in Japan and Europe. Really?!?!

Pink + Hearts + Leopard = Awesomeness.

This is one of the "International only" Tamagotchis with animal print. There's also a colorful leopard and dalmatian.

I highly recommend this device! Get your 90s on and go buy the newest iteration of Tamagotchi! :D 

In other news, I made Anna this somewhat strange outfit out of duct tape and hair accessories. 

Bye for now!
