OCWino goes to the OC Fair!

8/6/2014

0 Comments

 
Every year I look forward to going to the OC Fair. For the rides? Are you kidding me? No thank you.
I'm strictly all about the fare at the fair.
After getting jacked by buying a used ticket off of someone leaving the fair, we were ready to hit the wine bar!
As usual, it was super crowded and hot. Luckily, my brother had saved us a great table in the shade, so we were ready to start sampling! 
A few blurry hours later, the kids arrived with their selection of the best fair foods. Every year I leave it up to them to pick their favorite greasy treats. 
Here we go...
Fried doritos... why do they need to be fried twice? So disgusting
Jack Daniels Churro with whipped cream. By far my favorite choice!
Corn on the cob is always killer
Bacon wrapped deep fried turkey leg. Wow this a little much. It probably had a pound of bacon wrapped around it
McCall digging in!
The carcass post-meal
The Food Critics
Both tables devoured everything... Fried snicker bars, fried klondike bars, fried butter... why is all fair food fried???
Happy, full, and ready for a cholesterol test
The rides scare the crap out of me, but I don't mind checking out the fantastic lights. Trust me, I know who puts those rides together...
Next event at the fair: Demolition Derby tonight with my Trucker girlfriends!!
Stay tuned, more fair food to follow!

1) Sun Bum Sunscreen   

You know how bad it looks to have bright red blotches shown off from your crop top, plus you don't want to get in trouble with your mom for not putting on sunscreen. Sun Bum is the best because it has SPF 50 and smells like bananas.

2) Floppy Beach Hat

Stand out on the beach with a super cute floppy felt hat. It has both a boho and classic feel to it, so you can pull it off with different styles. Both McCall and Kate approve.

6) Waterproof Mascara

Benefit Bad Gal Waterproof Mascara is a long-lasting, smudge-proof, waterproof mascara that really does last. I remember once I put some on in the morning, before going to a friend's house. After going in both the ocean and the pool, the mascara didn't run at all!

7) Sea Salt Spray

8) Flash Tattoos 

Flash Tattoos are temporary tattoos that aren't for kids. They are inspired by jewelry and are metallic. These tattoos are awesome to wear at the beach and summer festivals. They last 4-6 days, so don't worry about getting over them too quickly.

9) Lip Balm

Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15 is THE best lip balm. It tastes like sugar, makes your lips super soft, and has sunscreen to prevent burned lips. It also comes in a bunch of other colors so you can get a nice tint that also moisturizes.

10) Self Tanner

Brazilliance™ Skin Rejuvenating Face and Body Self Tanner is a great way to get tan without spending all day out in the sun. It doesn't make you look orange and the application mitt helps so you don't look streaky.

11) Sunglasses

RayBan Classic Aviator Sunglasses are the most iconic sunglasses in the world and are an essential for every Orange County woman, young and old. Even though these are a bit pricey it totally worth it because they last forever!

12) Body Lotion

When you get a sunburn its really a drag and Aloe Vera usually dries up your skin. But Vaseline Spray & Go Aloe Fresh both moisturizes and heals dry burned skin. It's also great for areas on your body that are difficult to reach with your hands and is super quick to use.
