Matt and Christy Brooks are
the owners of Brooks and
Company. They met in 2007
and were married in 2009.
Matt
is
from
Quitman, Ga. and went to
school at Valdosta State
University and graduated in
2002 as the proud recipient of
a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. He moved to
Griffin in 2005 for a local job opportunity in sales for a
company he currently still flourishes in and enjoys working
for.
Christy is a born and raised Griffin resident. She
takes pride in attempting to grow her hometown’s local
business market. She graduated from Griffin Tech in 1991
with a diploma in Cosmetology. She later completed courses
in Social work from UGA. Then in 2008, she completed her
courses for Financial Advisor with HFMA. In 2009 she
received her career diploma as a Private Investigator. With
all of her experience and education, she still found she had a
passion for local business and wanted to grow that in her
hometown.
Together they started Brooks and Company in 2011,
originally that was a plan for storefront retail which they did
and kept that going until 12/2013 when their focus shifted to
helping small business and their community.
Brooks and Company Community Magazine was already
established so they took advantage of the magazine to support
their community and showcase what all it has to offer. Matt
and Christy are huge supporters of local small business and
embrace every opportunity to add something to the
community that it has not previously been able to offer.
Brooks and Company’s mission is to continue to add new
products in an effort to show that you do not always have to
resort to big box names to meet your household or personal
needs.
In June 2013 Christy began working with the City of
Griffin Main Street Program in an effort to show her support
to the community and all small business owners trying to
make a difference. She continues to work daily to be a support
to those around her.
They started Brooks and Company in an effort to
offer local businesses a chance to showcase what they have to
offer and how it benefits our community. This publication is
an effort by Brooks and Company to show that your local
community currently offers what it needs to grow with your
support. We thank you for taking the time to read it.
Our Bath Line is Shea Based!
Skin needs moisture to stay resilient, healthy, glowing, and soft. Amongst the hundreds of moisturizers available on the market today,
there is one that is considered the 'crème de la crème' of all. Shea Butter is from Africa, and can turn almost any dry skin into a smooth
and soft surface.
Shea Butter has been used for generations in African cultures as a moisturizer, health aid,
and healing balm. In its purest forms, it is a solid fat with a high skin absorption rate. This
makes Shea Butter a highly valued product for almost all skin types. This high-fat butter
is full of naturally occurring Vitamin A, E, and F. Many women apply mega doses of
Vitamin E to reduce stretch marks, wrinkles, and skin cracks.
Shea butter can help to prevent bumps from shaving, razor irritation, rashes, and even
eczema. Shea Butter is a fantastic moisturizer for the outdoor enthusiast who suffers from
chapped and cracked skin. Even sunburn in the summer can be soothed and reduced
considerably with regular shea butter application. Shea butter has a high level of cinnamic
acid, which is a naturally occurring sun screen; it will absorb easily into the skin and pores without clogging.Some additional, and not
widely known, secrets of Shea Butter include:
Helping to reduce or eliminate scalp dryness or irritation: this is especially important for those who use chemicals and
coloring for their hair
Restoring natural elasticity after a shower or cold season
Restoring shine and naturally occurring oils to the hair
Eliminating dry and uncomfortable patches on feet, elbows, and knees
Preventing sunburn on sensitive neck and face areas
Helping heal wounds and encouraging the healing process from scars
Shea Butter naturally revitalizes and refreshes your skin, no matter what condition it may be in. It is best applied when slightly
warmed or melted, and can be a very beneficial massage aid for sore muscles and joints! Frequent use of Shea Butter will keep your
skin smooth and soft for hours, without any stickiness or greasy feeling. The extra care you take of your skin now will dramatically
improve your skin in the subsequent years. Shea Butter is your best choice for a weekly, if not daily, moisturizer!
