Guest Posting - Katie

Morning ladies, welcome to my final guest blogger Katie! I absolutely love her blog & she is the sweetest girl you could ever ask to meet. We are so similar (if you read on you'll see I love almost everything she does!) Tea & JLS? This girl is just amazing. ; D

----------------------------------------

Hi guys! I was contacted a bit ago by Cat about doing a guest post on One Hand In My Pocket and I jumped at the chance! Cat is really amazing and I really appreciate her giving me the chance to guest post on her blog!

That’s me in the photo above, sorry it’s a rubbish photo! I used to be such a poser back in the MySpace days, but I can’t seem to get the hang of it anymore! My name is Katie and I blog at Fireworks. I set my blog up a little over a month ago after debating whether to create one for ages. I’m 21 and from Leeds, so I’m mega Yorkshire and proud! I work in retail, but I’m hoping to get some work experience in the Journalism field because that’s what I really want to do! In the summer I finished a Journalism course, which I got a triple Distinction (so chuffed!). I wasn’t sure what to do my post about, and after decided for a while, I decided to tell you a few of my favourite things, so you can get to know me a bit more!

My favourite people on this planet at the moment are the boys from One Direction. I’m a big 1D fan girl, and I sometimes act like I’m 14 again, back when Busted and McFly were huge! I’m glad they didn’t win the X Factor because it hasn’t done them any harm at all! Sometimes winners aren’t as successful as runners up anyway! I’ll buy anything 1D that I see whether it’s a book, poster or lanyard (I don’t know what I’ll use it for either!). My favourite is Harry, who tends to be everyone’s fave, but it’s the hair that’s so amazing! I defiantly recommend their album, Up All Night. It’s typical pop stuff, but if you love The Wanted, JLS and that type of music then you’ll love the album.

I love cups of tea, especially in winter when they warm you up! I love this mug as well, I love Disney and 101 Dalmatians is my favourite Disney film! A cup of tea always seems to cheer you up, and it’s nice to have a girly chat over a cuppa!

I love jewellery, I get it off my Mum! My Mum never goes a day without wearing a necklace, ear rings and bracelets, and that’s defiantly a trait I get from her! I love friendship bracelets, they’re so cute! I love the one with my name on, I got that on holiday this year!

I’ve been a Harry Potter fan since I was 7. It’s the most amazing book series ever and my entire childhood was about Harry Potter. The first film came out at the end of 2001, whilst I was in the first few months of high school, and its felt like I’ve grown up with Harry because every year Harry was in, in Hogwarts, has matched the year I was in high school. I’ve read all the books a million times and I never get bored of them!

I’m a bit of a Jack Wills fan! All the posh students seem to wear it and it’s quite expensive, but the quality is really good. I love getting the cute handbooks that they send you as well! I have a fair few Jack Wills stuff and I love adding things to my collection, sad I know!

So that’s a little about me and the things that I love! I’d like to thank Cat again for this amazing opportunity! Hope you like my post and feel free to check out my blog!

Guest Posting - Felicity

Hey girls, hope you're all well.

Welcome to the second guest blogger, Felicity. I stumbled across her blog & just instantly fell in love & not for the obvious reasons.. first thing I noticed was she had a Dachshund! (A sausage dog) Oh my gosh, the obsession with her blog started from there! Hahaha. If you've followed me for a while, you'll know I have my own sausage dog named Honey & they've been my favourite breed of dog for years. Not only does Felicity have her own sausage dog, she is also as obsessed as I am! So, without further delay, here's my girl talking about one of the things we love most in the world. SAUSAGES. : D

-----------------------------------------------

Hi, my name is Felicity and I blog daily over at Pursuit of Felicity. I have many different interests but my biggest interest is sausage dogs, so when Cat asked if I would like to do a guest post on her lovely blog I jumped at the opportunity - this lovely lady likes sausage dogs just as much as I do! Hence why the topic of my guest post is on, you guessed it.. sausage dogs (also referred to as miniature dachshunds). ;) Enjoy!

They need to be walked at least once a day or they will literally walk themselves. If they see you putting your shoes on, you'd better be taking them for a walk. If you go anywhere even remotely near where you store your dog lead, you'd better be taking them for a walk. If you so much as get out of bed in the morning, you'd better be taking them for a walk.

They like to eat alot and they will eat just about anything.. Prescription glasses, tissues,jewellery - you name it.

You will purchase and watch them destroy over 100 toys in their lifetime [I say this because my own 22 month old dachshund has already murdered 50+ toys].

Unless you train them really well they will not play fetch. If you throw a ball and they catch it, that ball is now theirs. They will not bring the ball back.

They can be extremely hard to train [and will more than likely train you instead].

Your bed will eventually become their bed. Get used to it.

They are extremely stubborn.

They shed hair like nobody’s business.

They have this incredible ability to store endless amounts of wee. They seem store it up in the event that someone will return home from work, school, or after a five minute chat with the neighbour. As soon as you walk through that front door they will inevitably pee all over the place, and often all over you. If several people arrive home at once be prepared for multiple urine puddles, watching them rolling around in their own wee, and hearing the most deafening high pitched squeals that you will ever hear in your life.

They are incredibly loyal to all family members and are welcoming of guests and other animals.

They are highly intelligent [don't let their playfu lattitude fool you].

They are beautiful to look at and have the most unique facial expression.

They are cuddly and affectionate [they will lick your face off].

They can be very funny and love to clown around.

They will love you until the day they die.

I'm also guest posting over at Felicity's blog next week, so check that out as well!

Guest Posting - Jen

Hi girls. : )

You might remember me mentioning earlier this week how excited I am to have a few new guest bloggers posting for you this week. So, let me introduce my first gorgeous girl, Jen.

------------------------------------------------- 

Hi everyone, I'm Jen! I'm very excited to be writing my first ever guest post! When Cat emailed me and asked if I'd like to write for her blog I was really chuffed as I've only been back blogging for a few weeks! I love your blog, Cat and thankyou again for this :) I've decided to put together a wishlist, mainly consisting of knitwear and sparkly nail varnish for you all to look at and maybe add a few things to your Christmas list.

Everything is from Topshop and the nail varnish can be found at Boots or Superdrug.

So, which are your favourites? And what's on your wishlist at the moment? I know number 3 is in my Christmas pile and I was treated to number 4 the other day :) Thanks for reading and be sure to check out my blog!

Merry Christmas! ;)

November Favourites

Morning girls, Happy December! : )

Hope you're all well. Today's post is a little bit of the products I loved throughout November.

MUA - English Rose Mosaic Blush

I bought this back in October but I've used it every day this past month! It only costs £2.50 from Superdrug & it's by MUA. I love love love this palette. It's got so many gorgeous shades that blend really well together. It creates a very shimmery red / pink for your cheeks. A tint & a highlighter in one!

 

 

MUA - Shade 30 Pearl Eyeshadow



Another product by MUA, this cost a total of £1! Yes, £1! I originally found this colour in the Glitter Ball palette. I love glitter & gold, especially around Christmas time, so this colour is my fav for December parties!

Maybelline - Colossal Cat Eye Mascara

This mascara is amazing. Yes, amazing. What else can I say? It's designed to flare your outer eyelashes & create a fuller lash. I have to say, it definitely curls my eye lashes more, making them appear alot longer than they actually are. The packaging is a bit 'in-your-face' but I love the print design round the lid. (reveiw coming soon!)

 

 

Batiste - Dry Shampoo

This product is actually more a 'year favourite' than a November favourite. But never mind. : ) This one is definitely my favourite smell of the range & a lifesaver on those greasy hair days. Nothing else to say about this really.. if you don't own one.. GET ONE. : D

V05 - Ultimate Hold Hairspray

Only recently tried this hairspray as I ran out of my current one, went to purchase another & it was sold out. I use other V05 products, so thought I'd try the hairspray. Result? I'm sticking to this like.. well.. hairspray. ; ) The smell is so gorgeous, doesn't really smell like hairspray to be honest. It also holds my hair in place without looking hard or shiny. Effortless product.

------------------------------------------

So there we have it guys, only a couple of favs for this month as I want to save my main favourites for the end of the year.

Have any of you tried these products? What do you think? : )
