This One's For The Girls: The When-to-Wash-It Handbook

Do you wonder how often you should launder your favorite clothing items to keep them not only clean, but new looking? Or maybe you wonder how to keep your delicates delicate rather than getting ruined in the washer. Of course you do. We all do.

My favorite personal stylist, Noelle Cellini, owner of My Best Food Forward, tweeted a link to a fantastic article from Real Simple today, The When-to-Wash-It-Handbook. I love it. In fact, I'm going to print it out and tape it up in my closet. Ya, I'm that anal and I'm proud of it.

Little Merry Sunshine is committed to keeping you looking your best, so our expert staff here (yes, that's Betsey, Ross, and me) felt it was important to pass this information onto you. Trust us, you'll find it handy.

Oh, and you should definitely call Noelle. No matter your age, body shape, weight or personal style, she'll make sure you always look your best and she's well worth the investment of both time and money. At least sign up for her newsletter, fan her on Facebook, and follow her on Twitter.

And don't forget to print out The When-to-Wash-It Handbook!

Susie Wants A Pole Dancer Doll!

With Christmas fast approaching (there's only 113 shopping days left!), you probably need some helpful ideas on what to buy your little girl. In past years, Tickle Me Elmo and Cabbage Patch Kids have been big hits. This year, however, I believe I've found the new "it" toy (via Gizmodo):

The Pole Dancer Doll!

The description on the box tells us "style, interesting, music, flash, up and down, go round and round." No, I don't know if it comes with Miley Cyrus's endorsement or not. I also haven't been able to find a store carrying this self-esteem building doll, but I'm sure that's because they're all completely sold out already. Good luck getting yours.

Of course, you won't be able to get your little princess a stripper pole either because Tesco took it off the market 3 years ago. But check out this description: "Unleash the sex kitten inside...simply extend the Peekaboo pole inside the tube, slip on the sexy tunes and away you go! Soon you'll be flaunting it to the world and earning a fortune in Peekaboo Dance Dollars."


Don't have a daughter old enough for this doll or the now non-existent stripper pole? That's okay. Little Merry Sunshine has your toddler covered too. For her, we've got a t-shirt with pasties and tassles thanks to Twisted Twee! Not to worry, it comes in a variety of colors and sizes.
