"If you buy now, I'll toss this in for free." SOLD.

Yesterday my sister and I went to the Del Mar Fair--somewhere I hadn't been in about 9 years. I didn't know how much shopping there was there! When I think of the fair, I think about food and rides (although I don't trust those rides and therefore never go on them). The theme of the fair this year was "Game On!" and it was actually pretty cute. They had life-sized versions of all of our favorite games--monopoly, twister, connect four, etc., and it was pretty fun walking around and seeing everything. 

I thought it was a pretty sweet car ;)

I couldn't believe the amount of food this place had--I thought that as soon as I walked through the gates I'd be stuffing my face with food until we left. Thankfully I had some self control (and spent all of my money shopping) so that didn't happen. The scale thanked me this morning ;) 

The first thing I ate as soon as we got there was a chocolate swirl waffle cone ice cream--and it was delicious!

So,  lets get to the shopping. They had stuff EVERYWHERE! I expected there to be lots of stuffed animals and things of that nature (I mean, it is a fair), but I wasn't prepared for the amount of shopping that we would be doing. Something you may not know about me: I'm a HUGE infomercial believer--I would buy it all if I could (however, I've only ever bought one thing off of an infomercial--the Grout Bully--and it turned out to be complete junk. I'll never buy anything from TV again; I'll only get it if they sell it in stores). Basically, the Del Mar Fair is just a plethora of infomercials--and I was sold on all of them. Everything they had was so cool! "Buy now and I'll toss this, this, and this in for free." Boom, sold. It's a good thing I didn't bring any credit cards with me to the fair, because guaranteed they would have been maxed out and I would have come home with a "roll your own sushi maker," a crap ton of toys and clothes for the kids, a massage chair, and possibly a jacuzzi. Most of it, I'll admit, I can live without. This stuff, however, was a purchase I was really excited about. Its an all-natural cleaning product that actually works really well. 

It's called 'Touch of Purple' and it cleans almost everything--except there's no chemicals in it. The lady cleaned my ring, my sunglasses, and my cell phone screen and they all turned out flawless. My ring hasn't been so sparkly in a long time, my sunglasses are staying clean even if I accidentally graze the lens with my finger, and my cell phone stays clean even after talking on it for a while (when before it would have makeup on it). This stuff is cool. I get it that the bottle looks cheesy, but if it works then I don't care how its packaged. This stuff is streak-free and repels fingerprints (I just cleaned my big sliding door window where the kids are constantly getting it dirty, and so far its staying clean. We were told to put a little bit of this in our window washing compartment in our cars and it'll keep the haze off of the windows. Touch of Purple repels dust--so that instead of dusting once a week, you dust about once a month (we'll see how that goes).

All in all, I'm pretty excited about this. I'm hoping it turns out to be everything I want it to be--I'd hate to be duped by a second "infomercial" and lose all faith in these products! I checked it out and you can buy this stuff on their website (www.touchofpurple.com) --or you can head down to the fair and buy some from them and 1) not pay shipping and 2) talk them down on the price and/or get some free stuff tossed in. The best part about this stuff, in my opinion, is that since its all natural, if one of my kids ever accidentally gets into it, it'll send them straight to the bathroom and NOT the hospital. Even though all of my cleaning products are locked up, this still gives me peace of mind.

Not gonna lie, I'm actually pretty excited to clean today ;)
