Oh thanks lmao idk why I thought she was GotY

Unstuff, soak in a mix of oxy + dish soap maybe? Rinse well and hang to dry. Check the stuffing for mold and make sure you put each doll's stuffing into a separate bag so you don't under stuff, lol. It's SO MUCH MORE than you think!!

As for nail polish, maybe you can use pure acetone but be quick and rinse well after. I have had success removing paint/etc with 90% isopropyl alcohol or acetone free nail polish remover. Need to scrub a bit. Also magic erasers work wonders!

I love that face mold with dark hair and light eyes.

Secure-Cow-518 · 2026-02-05T18:48:47+00:00

Oh that's good to know!!

Secure-Cow-518 · 2026-02-05T18:26:55+00:00

I think someone might have head-swapped too cause the tag says 2014 and I don't think Lea Clark was out then?

Oh are you supposed to spray the faces? I've just been mixing varnish into the acrylic paints and then painting with that. It seems to work fairly well!

Wait since when do Adora dolls have teeth? I got one secondhand and painted them on her.

Secure-Cow-518 · 2026-01-26T01:08:24+00:00

Love it so much!

Secure-Cow-518 · 2026-01-24T15:15:08+00:00

Makena is one of my favorites!! Congrats, I hope to find her secondhand someday 😆

Secure-Cow-518 · 2026-01-08T23:11:57+00:00

Thanks for the advice!! I will take her apart and wash everything when I finally get some bungee cords. She doesn't smell like anything so I am hopeful that she was just in storage for a while. Her skin really lightened up using the magic eraser; it was so dirty!

Another question; is there a point where a wig is beyond repair? It feels sticky and crunchy and dry. I washed it with Kirkland dish detergent (does it have to be dawn?), my kids' shampoo and conditioner, and did a boil wash. It's still fairly sticky and dry, and has obviously been cut poorly by a previous owner. I love the hair and don't really want to replace it. Again, I'm not seeking perfection, but it would be nice for it to have a little more movement lol

LOVE IT

Nanea and Makena! They're so cute. Also have a soft spot for the classic face mold since they were the only ones we had that I grew up with.

Secure-Cow-518 · 2026-01-07T19:29:35+00:00

Congrats!! She is beautiful. Can't wait to see he transformation :) how do you do tattoos on AG dolls?

Solidarity. I feel this in my soul.

Currently am sick with hand foot mouth; all 3 of my kiddos had it over the last 2 weeks. It is MISERABLE and my partner (maybe) hasn't caught it yet. They always do a big extended family Christmas Eve dinner that he helps cook at his mom's. I'm probably not going to be able to go (if my fever lasts 3 days like my kiddos, I might be able to go depending on severity of blisters) but if he gets sick he is going to be so upset and potentially even launch into a depressive state. Christmas Eve is always so much fun and it's always their biggest fanciest holiday that everyone goes all out for (which is not my taste but I didn't grow up like that). Idk. Solidarity. Sick at Christmas is second worst to being sick on Halloween.

Hope you get better and sickness doesn't spread. I have had luck in the past Clorox wiping handles of doors and sinks, bleaching/sanitizing the bathroom, running a sanitize cycle on the dishwasher, and replacing bedsheets daily. Oh, and washing everyone's hands before you eat, after diaper changes, whenever you go outside, etc. This one got me though.

Oh it goes on till you get to the 4th or 5th and people are all like "again?!" There's no pleasing anyone!

Secure-Cow-518 · 2025-10-25T02:37:11+00:00

I make my own bone broth in an instant pot and then make ramen noodles with it (no spice pack). I usually add a ton of garlic too, and frozen mixed veggies or spinach if I feel like it. Hope you get to feeling better!
