Meet Michelle from Hot Pink Combat Boots

Hey Guys, I cannot believe how much of a bad sponsor host i have been! i completely forgot to post one of my FAVOURITE bloggers guest post! but i have remembered now and here it is please welcome...

Hi everyone, I"m Michelle from Hot Pink Combat Boots. I am a sponsor of Selina's and am honored at the opportunity to be part of her blog.

So WHO am I?

I am your basic female that loves to go shopping and do the traditional fun-loving activities women enjoy such as movies, reading, crafts and decorating. BUT I have a unique twist to my life story. I'm in the US Air Force (reserves), and am currently living in Germany and working daily with the tragically wounded soldiers arriving from the battlefield in Afghanistan. This line of work has given me a new perspective of what is important in life as well as the value of living each day to its fullest.  

Over the last 10 months, my blog has been a blend of many things - but mostly about traveling, fashion trends, and a teeny bit about my H&M shopping problem. The BIG NEWS is I'm moving back to the states in a week and there will be a whole new slew of adventures headed my way.

When I first arrived in Germany I bought a bike and named her Fifi. I decorated her with travel stickers, and her and I traveled Europe via the rail system. The sad news is I won't be able to bring her with me, so she will stay behind and hopefully continue her adventures with a new owner. Check out my blog for my upcoming announcement of this news along with what is coming up next for me.

I pondered about what to write about for Selina's blog, and thought I would list things I was grateful for. In turn, I want you to list 5 things in  your comments that YOU are grateful for. 

GIVEN ITEMS are family, spouse (significant other), god (whatever religion you practice), friends, and general health. Really think about it...... and be creative.

 Here's my list: I'm grateful for: 

1. My independence, and my ability to not be held back by fear

 2. The crisp autumn air and how it fills up my lungs and makes my cheeks rosy 

3. Everything the Military has done for me and the opportunities it provided 

4. Knowing how to cook and type ( I know...2 random skills to throw together) 

5. Finally.... I'm truly grateful for the small gestures other people do. A kind word, a small gift a genuine smile. These moments make my day. So....what's yours? 

xoxo, Michelle Hot Pink Combat Boots 

  PS - Thank you Selina!

Michelle from Hot Pink Combat Boots

Hi, I'm Michelle and I live in Washington State. Well........I did.

As a member of the US Air Force Reserves, I have turned my life upside down to move to Germany for 6 months. My job entails transporting the extremely wounded soldiers from the battlefield in Afghanistan to the hospital. It's a tragic, yet incredibly rewarding job. 

I started blogging last year as a way to document my adventure - sort of like an online journal. Hot Pink Combat Boots is NOT a military blog. Instead its full of European trends, fashion (do's and don'ts) along with random tidbits of travel and bike adventures. Speaking of bikes, I have one and her name is Fifi. She can be a bit of a pill sometimes, so occasionally I will feature her latest antics on my blog.

The blog has taken on a life of its own, and what I thought what could 'potentially' be a chore has become the best hobby I ever started.

My passions are many because I'm OCD, but include: photography, writing, fashion, beauty, extravagant trips, interior design, yachting, cooking and shopping for vintage treasures. And of course, blogging!

I realize that you're probably thinking I don't quite 'fit' the military mode. You're right - I am a complete 'MISFIT' in the military, and I'm reminded of the difference every day. The good part is I have passed the 'awkward' stage of my journey and am now surrounded by fabulous friends. My tour is Germany is nearing it's end (I head home at the end of October) - but all that means is the journey will continue........just somewhere else.

Euro Trash Thursday

Ever since i did my last Euro Trash post i haven't been able to stop seeing things that would be perfect for another so today i have decided to post you a few more random pics from around Bergen!

Euro Trash is the brainchild of Michelle over at Hot Pink Combat Boots and if you aren't already addicted to her site, then you best get your butt over there and take a look!

a Bombay Bad Boy - possibly the most disgusting drink i have ever tasted in my life

Partially because it was heavily garnished with black pepper!? meaning every sip meant a new mouthful of pepper  bits in your mouth and a bit whiff of pepper up your nose :/ no thank you!

In a toilet cubicle at Hulen made me laugh although i am not sure what 'riding the bus'  means

Another cubicle picture, this time dedicated to Mr Tom Waits because apparently this artist 'will wait'

Presents i got from TP for our 6month anniversary, my nickname used to be Selina Pink Roses 

An amazing alcoholic milkshake NOMZ

Roses

The amazing decor at the indian restaurant we frequent - wish the picture was better!

Tor Petter's Tikka Masala - don't you just love the dished they are served in!

My Korma because i am a wuss about spice!

I also want to remind you that my GIVEAWAY ends this saturday so if you haven't entered do so NAOW!

Euro Trash

One of my favourite blogs and bloggers is Michelle over at Hot Pink Combat Boots. and every so often she does these great posts where she posts all the pictures she doesn't have a place for and usually some hilarious photos of peoples terrible fashion choices. So after sifting through my photos and realised i had quite a few that i had nothing to do with so here i am posting my very own...

Euro Trash
