John and I went to the NC State Fair on Friday night with some new friends. Not gonna lie, as crowded as it is, as expensive as it is, and as much of a hassle as it is, I love the state fair.

Funnel cake? Yes. Fried oreos? Yes. The tractor pull? OH HECK YES.

It was awesome.

SIDE NOTE: If you’re planning on heading to the North Carolina State Fair at all the rest of this week, you NEED to check out the King BMX Action Sports Stunt Show. It’s free! And awesome. And it’s my friend’s show. (The ones who were on America’s Got Talent, for those of you who remember…).

Also, I shared the following video in my post on Saturday, but I really feel like I need to share it again. Especially since this is a state fair themed post. Personally, I think this was hilarious. Sue me. Yeah, so this happened at the fair on Friday:

Ahhhh good times.

OKAY, so NOW it is time for the #YOLOmondays LINK-UP with my awesome co-host Carly from Lipgloss & Crayons! If this is your first time here, #YOLOmondays is a chance for us toliterallylink up anything we want (as long as it’s a blog post…). You know, cause it’s Monday, and what better way to jazz up your mundane Monday than to link up and meet some new bloggers?

Also, #YOLO stands for You Only Live Once. Inquiring minds wanted to know.

Carly and I love seeing y’all linked up every week! 🙂

The Rules for #YOLOMONDAYS Link-Ups:

        1. Grab a button and / or post a link back here in your BLOG POST (NOT your blog’s main page) so your readers know what all the #YOLOMONDAY-ness is about. We love you guys linking up and we do go through and read all your posts… so if you do not give credit, we will have to remove your link. That’s no fun, right? Right. So be nice and share a link! Pretty please? 🙂
        2. Link your blog post up using the linky tool below! It can be ANYTHING! An outfit post, a giveaway, a story, a recipe, whatever. Why? Cause it’s #YOLOMONDAYS!
        3. Visit a blog or four that you’ve never been to before and leave a #YOLOMONDAYS comment – you never know, you might “meet” someone new that you will lurve!
        4. Have fun! Cause #YOLO!

  1. I love your pompador in these pictures. I have no idea if that is the true name of that hair style, but you rocked it! And your video made me laugh so hard, I actually was in the bath tub and just jumped on YouTube. My bf had a huge laugh finding me in there cracking up! :o)

  14. Now, I am having a fair craving, girl! 😉 I haven’t been to a fair in years. 😉 Sad, I know.
    And, ‘fried oreos’???? I can’t quite decide whether that sounds divine or disgusting? 😉
