More than Digi Scrap :)

Many of you may know by now that I have more than just one love. Digi Scrapbooking is my love for sure, I will never leave it, hehe... BUT I do LOVE beauty products, Make Up, and Nails.
I have gotten so many questions on Facebook, about my nails, that I decided I would start posting little tutorials here on my blog.
I would really love to tape tutorials and post them in video format too.... we shall see if I can get a camera set up, and find time to learn how to edit video.
Until then, I will start posting pictures and small tutorials.
I also just signed up for BirchBox, and expect my first Box to arrive this month! So I will post reviews on Beauty products as well.
If you all check out BirchBox and decide to join, - give me your email, and I can send you an invite... and get some points towards $$ in the BrichBix Shop :) That would be awesome!

Hope you all enjoy :)

Get Real...Confession time...I'm a Gleek!

I remember the exact day it happened.... Easter 2011, we all gathered at my wonderful sister Julies house. After indulging on an amazing meal, and unable to move much further than from the table to the couch, we all plopped in front of the TV. After 10 minutes of channel surfing Kayla (my lovely niece) went to her room and brought out her Complete Season 1: Glee Dvd collection. I smiled on the outside, but on the inside I rolled my eyes.... I have tried to watch this show and I just didn't get it. I found it lame, corny, and slightly annoying. But my sister insisted, "You have to watch it!! You will love it!!" About once a month she would ask me, "Did you start watching Glee yet??!!" And I would always answer with... "umm, not yet, I tried a few times but I could never even get through a full episode." She would sigh and tell me how great it was and how she KNEW I would love it.

Now Easter Sunday, the time had come, they had stuffed me with delicious food and trapped me, sinking into a comfy couch. I was not going anywhere. Kayla put on episode 1...... and guess what before I knew it I was bopping my head along with the music and laughing out loud! OMGoodness... I really like this show!
Episode 2 (omg Mr.Schuester's wife Teri is going to fake her pregnancy? Is Quinn really a bad bad girl?),
Episode 3 (um the Acafellas are dorks, I hope this "boy band" doesn't last long. Emma is so cute, I just love her!) and then a break for Easter Egg Hunt....

Back to the Glee marathon!
Episode 4 (wow Quinn is preggers! But is the baby Finns or Pucks?)
How could I just go home and not find out what happens to the Glee Club? Thank goodness Kayla insisted I take home her Season 1 DVD collection!

Throughout the Easter Break we were stuck inside due to rain every day, perfect Dvd watching weather. My kiddos and I all cuddled up in my bed and watched episode after episode.

Over the following weeks we finished Season 1, purchased all the season 1 music on iTunes-

Of course had to get the Glee app for my iPod

And guess what arrived in the mail yesterday....

Yep- I admit it... It is time for me to Get Real about my Glee addiction. I'm a Gleek.
