DIY: AG Doll Valentine's Day Party!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! In honor of this lovely holiday, I wanted to share some cute n' easy crafts so, if you wanted to, you could have a party with your dolls. 

the first idea are these mini heart "cakes"

First, I sliced a thick piece of bread. (my mom made this bread by the way. awesome.)

 

Then I used a heart-shaped cookie cutter to make it. Easy enough.

For the "frosting", I mixed a wee bit of butter with some red food coloring and applied it onto the top of the "cake" with a spoon!

Can't forget the powered sugar. You could also use sprinkles but alas, we didn't have any.

I decided to display this delicacy on this little pink gift box.

voila!

I also made this festive "table" by covering an old basket with hot pink tissue paper and lacey computer paper.

And Mia's outfit of course! 

Hope you all have a splendid day!! xx

How To Make A Table/Desk For American Girl Dolls

Hey guys! I didn't have school today, so I was able to post a new American Girl doll video! Hope you enjoy.

Should I Blog?

Hey guys. Sooo...it's been forEVER since I've posted an American Girl video or wrote a blog post. I feel bad, trust me.

I recently ordered a new camera that will take super good pictures! I was wondering if you guys think I should start doing regular American Girl-related blog posts on here? They could be DIYs, HTMs (how to makes), AG cooking, or whatever yall want. 

That way, when I don't have time to make an AG video you guys can just come on here and check out my newest blog post!
Logging on to my youtube.com/AmericanGirlTiffany today was intense. I didn't realize how much you guys missed my videos. I feel so bad !! 

Hopefully, I can make it up to you. I don't want to let you down again.
I'm not sure if I'll do regular videos, but hopefully I'll be able to do blog posts on here if you think it's a good idea!

Let me know.

NEW VIDEOS! How To Travel With Your AG Doll + What's Happenin'

Hey girls! In case you don't already know, I've made two new videos!! One of them is just an update video, but the other one is about How To Travel With Your American Girl Dolls.

I explain everything in the video, but a few general tips are,

• Don't dress your doll in anything that could get lost (hair bows, jewelry, bags, etc) while on the plane
• Definitely put your doll in a carry-on bag!
• Dress her in shoes that won't fall off during the plane ride/through security/etc. I would not put any shoes on her at all though, just to be safe!

I have a LOT more advice in the video though, so be sure to check that out! (linked at the bottom of this blog post, as well as here)

I'm just so excited to be back making videos for you. I know I do make videos on my beauty channel/all my other channels, but there's a different feeling with making AG vids. LOL hard to describe but I forgot how much I love it!! :) <3

Be sure to check out my new video, and stay tuned for LOTS more coming soon.

Midterms + Where Have I Been?

Hey girls-
I know it's been forever since I've posted a video on this channel (AmericanGirlTiffany), or a post on this blog! I don't want to have to make up a ton of excuses, because I *KNOW* I've been failing at updating you guys.

But honestly, I want things to change; I want to keep posting more videos! But I also don't want to make a bunch of empty promises to you....what to do, what to do?

When I log in to this YouTube account, the first thing I think is, "I need to post a new video" . Like, seriously.  I haven't forgotten! But since I usually check my account right before I go to school, I of course don't have time to make a video.  Then, I go to school, learn stuff. yadda yadda yadda, and when I get home, I have a ton of homework that needs to be done, essays to write, and of course I may have other plans as well.  Then I have to eat dinner, and after dinner is when I usually edit/upload, but then where do I have time to film?? Ahh...the weekends....that is completely my fault; I can't really have any excuses for that, other than I just forget/don't want to get all my AG stuff out (it's all stored under my bed for the time being).

I want things to change! This weekend, I will try to film as many AG videos as I can.  I might only be able to make one (gotta study for mid terms and write essays), but I will try to film/edit/upload.

I hope you feel a little more updated after reading this, and I'll talk to you girls ASAP!

Also, if you're into fashion/makeup/beauty/nail tutorials, you might wanna check out my contest!! Haven't had anyone enter yet, and there's some pretty awesome prizes: http://vlogmakeupbeauty.blogspot.com/2012/01/contest.html

How To Make Braces For Your American Girl Doll!

I recently posted a video on how to make braces for your American Girl Doll. (All the videos mentioned in this post will be linked below)

In the video, I asked you girls to send me a picture on Twitter, or make a video response.  So far, I've gotten two video responses, and they're both super cute! ( Check them out  below :)  )

Do you want me to do an advice video on braces? (braces for actual human girls! ;D hah hah hah)  Let me know!!

And now here's the videos :D

I'm Not Dead!

I know it's been forEVER (almost two months....*hides face in shame*) since I've either blogged or posted a video....school has started, and we've had SO many tests to study for and everything (I've already had around four or five chapter tests in Spanish!).

But another reason why I haven't posted any videos on this account (AmericanGirlTiffany), is because I'm out of ideas!  I honestly have no idea what to film a video on....I feel like I've done everything you guys have requested!

So please please PLEASE leave a comment on this post/comment on my channel/send me a YouTube message letting me know what kind of videos you want to se/if you have a specific request.  I'm not going to get a chance to UPLOAD any videos this week, but I'm going to be prefilming a BUNCH, so this next weekend/next week I will be uploading! (If you guys send me requests, that is)

Thank you so much for your support.  I have a mini moment of shock whenever I log on to my account and see how many of you watch my videos and/or subscribe.  THANK YOU!!

Update!

Don't worry; I'm very aware I haven't posted a video in a while or blogged in a VERY long while. Same old excuse: I've been super busy. But I have been! School started for me about two weeks ago, and it's been crazy. I've been posting more videos on my other account vlogmakeupbeauty because it's easier to post a vlog, haul or makeup tutorial than a long vid on how to do something with your American Girl Doll! I hope everyone can understand. :/

Anyway, message me video requests! If I have a long line of requests waiting, it motivates me more. 

Thanks for all your support

xoxo

TGIF!

I hope you're all having a wonderful Friday! I prefilmed like 2352357230573285720 (okay maybe just 5) videos yesterday! The lighting in my room was SO wonderful. I actually just finished editing a video on how to still take care of your AG dolls when you're at school, and I decided to blog while it was uploading.

Let me know what other videos you guys want to see.

Oh, I was thinking about starting like kind of an email newsletter. So if I didn't have time to make a video, and I know not all my viewers read my blog, I could just type out an email to send out to everyone. Let me know!

And thanks for all the subscribers :) It's amazing!!!!

Makeup/Beauty Channel

As you may have seen, I recently posted a video talking about how a few of my viewers commented and said that they wanted more vlogs, hauls and makeup videos. Then I asked you guys if that's really what all of you wanted to see! 


About 70% of the comments I got said something around the lines of, "no!! stick to AG!". But I got this one comment from a user obsidiansands gave me some really good advice;


"actually, if you're having trouble managing all of them then you may as well combine them all into one vlog cut up into segments (ie, AG segment, beauty/fashion segment, etc) -- it would save up on time and editing in the long run if you make a show that combines aspects of all the mini-shows/channels you're doing into one large chunk... it would concentrate reviews/counts all in one place rather than spreading everything thin."


Which I thought was AWESOME advice. I filmed a video on it yesterday explaining everything!! 


Please note that this is just an idea. In the video I kind of act like it's what I'm going to do, but really I'm not sure yet. Please let me know what you want to see, because you guys are my viewers!! Thanks everyone :)

Mean Friends?

Everyone has at least one in their entire life. That one mean - or "toxic" - friend. The one girl (or maybe guy, but I'm going to go with girl in this case) who seems really nice when you're hanging out with her, but you find out she's talking bad about you behind your back, spreading rumors that may not be true, etc etc etc.

If you realize that you didn't ever do anything mean to this girl, I have an easy solution to why she's being mean to you.




She's jealous of you.






There's always going to be people who are jealous of you. Maybe they think you're more pretty than them,  you're more confident, you have more stuff, more subscribers/followers/friends on YouTube/Facebook/Twitter etc; there are countless reasons.

You just have to feel empathy for this girl. Don't pay any attention to her! She's the one dragging you down. If what she's doing ever gets really out of control though, make sure to tell a trusted adult (mom, dad, aunt, grandma, teacher, etc etc etc)! I know that doesn't always seem like the best thing to do, but it really helps if you can just tell someone. Trust me! I know from experience.

I have a couple friends who are really competitive with YouTube. I've been on YouTube WAY longer than they have, and I always find them talking bad about my videos, or just me in general. It used to make me really mad, but now I just get kind of irritated before letting it go. I don't really care what they think. They're just jealous!

First of all, though, you do really have to think back and see if you hurt this friend's feelings. Maybe that's why she acts so nasty. If you really did do something mean or rude to hurt your friend, brushing it off and acting like you didn't care might hurt her more! So be sure to apologize.

Treat others as you wish to be treated!!

I hope this helps :)

THREE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!

It's been exactly 3 years since my first video, so prepare for a video filled day!!

My sis is thinking of opening her own YouTube for Cassie and Rose, and maybe some Barbie vids. My parents and I would of course control her account since she's younger, but I think that would be super cool!

Would you guys subscribe to her??

What kind of vids do you want to see from her?????

~AGT

Guess What I Just Realized?!?!?

Tomorrow will be the 3rd year since I've started YouTube, and the day after that will be the 3rd year since I made my last video!! I'm going to be uploading some very special and requested videos because of that. (Maybe celebrate with another American Girl Adventures, since those were my first videos?) Along with perhaps the video I talked about in yesterday's post. I'm really excited about this. I've come along SO far since May 27th, 2008, and not just on YouTube. I've changed my appearance quite a bit, going through different haircuts and styles. I've grown older and matured. My room has changed, my friends have changed, etc. This is a really cool (not to mention BIG!) milestone for me. I'm also (as of this blog post) 5 videos away from my 100th video!!! I am loving this!!!

I've also come a long way on YouTube. 963 subscribers!?!!?!! Every time I log in to YouTube and see that number, I wonder either if I'm dreaming, or if I need glasses. But nope. Haha...thank you all SO much!!

Here's some pink and white balloons to celebrate with: :) (because everyone knows how pink is my fav color! along with blue, gold, silver, white and black....hahaha)

Luv,

AmericanGirlTiffany
