About Me

Hi, I'm Brooke. Brooke Story to be precise... hence the title of my blog. I'm a born and raised 
Southern girl that is hanging onto my twenties by a thread. 


I grew up a PK (preacher's kid) and despite what they all say about us I am not nearly
as wild as what Lifetime would make me out to be. I like to have fun, am extremely playful,
love inappropriate humor, laugh at things that aren't supposed to be funny, am so girlie on the outside,
but completely different on the inside. I hate drama. I don't do caddy. Love rap music and dancing.
 I eat the most unhealthy foods and never exercise and somehow by God's grace remain thin. I don't like cake... please give me chocolate or cookies. The domestic gene skipped a generation with me...
cooking, cleaning, a husband, and babies have never been a huge priority in my life.
 I am terrified to a level I can't explain of roaches and possums. I am painfully indecisive.

I detest the smell and taste of mint. Somehow when people are around me conversations of poo
happen. TMI? Ok, I will stop.

The things I love most in life are God, traveling, family and friends, my sweet maltipoo Millie and
creepy cat Harley. 




I've been a Christian since the age of 9, but didn't truly grasp what being a follower of Christ
looked like and meant until I was in my early twenties. I am passionate about Jesus and want to live
my life for Him. I am a sinner saved by grace through faith in Christ. I'm flawed, messed up,
and in need of mercy every single day, but my prayer is that my life be centered around a person
not a religion, not a church, not a bible study, or a check list of things that good Christian people do, but that I have a genuine love relationship with the God that constantly pursues me and loves me
when I have never deserved it.

I started this blog because I love beauty. I have since I was a little girl. I am in NO way an expert or pretend to know everything about make-up. I never went to beauty school or took classes or anything
like that. I'm just a girl who has a passion for beauty trends and products and these are my honest
opinions and reviews. I hope you will enjoy reading and hopefully learn something you
didn't already know.

Welcome to my blog!
