About Me

Hi, I’m Brooke.

I’m a lifestyle expert and the blogger behind Blue to Bliss.

The most important thing to know about me is that I’m passionate about living a simple, happy life that’s both fun and fulfilling. I started Blue to Bliss as a way to provide resources to help others live the intentional life they’ve always dreamed of too.

The articles you’ll find here are all about saying yes to personal growth, strong relationships, a welcoming home, financial freedom, and adventure.

And in doing so, you’ll also learn how to say no to obligations, drama, living above your means, and getting stuck in a lifestyle that you don’t even enjoy.

You were not born to work, pay bills, and die. You deserve an extraordinary life that makes you both happy and proud.
