A Small Business entrepreneur who puts the cos in cosmetics. I absolutely love my new york apartment, but the rent is outrageous. Good thing geico offers affordable renters insurance.

Let geico help you shop small on today is sponsored by American Express. This Small Business saturday, november 28th, show off and shop small. And it is monday, and this upcoming weekend marks Small Business saturday. The annual vent sponsored by American Express encourages consumers to show a little love to their mom and pop shops in their area. We speak to a young entrepreneur whos working to make a difference. I got to go out and spend a few hours with krista whos created a line of cosmetics with a cause. Seattle, the city of good will and Small Business success stories. Thats where we caught up with chrissa. Two years ago you woke up in the middle of the night and wrote a Business Plan on your iphone. Night. I started as a Makeup Artist when i was 16 years old, but i always knew i wanted to develop products. My friend caitlyns dad worked for mac. Bathroom. And i thought oh, my gosh i have to do this. She even offered to do my makeup. And she tells me it was during those early days as an entrepreneur where she got creative. The original formulas started in my kitchen. Our adhesive, the base of our eyeliner formulation and brow liner as well originated in my blender. The thing is, in order to develop products that are truly effective, you have to start from scratch. And start from scratch, she did. Theyve been flying off the shelves. From mixing up makeup in the kitchen to wiping out her savings account. I dont come from a lot of money, thats why i used my savings. How much was it . 50,000. Pair that with a Strong Social Media Presence and she had her first sale. She turned it into a way of giving back. I was inspired to give Something Back to the cancer community. From the very ginning, i knew that for every product purchased, one would be given to a woman who was going through cancer treatment. It came after her best friend was diagnosed with a rare form of sarcoma at 23 years old. Sadly she lost her battle a year after finding out she was ill. She this rived through the experience. Every woman, every person deserves to thrive and wants to thrive. Galen knows what it is to thrive. At age 19, she was diagnosed with the same cancer that took christies life. Like many battling the disease, herself. It is really rough. I didnt expect whosing e losing my hair to have that much of an impact. It had such an impact on how i viewed myself. So to get her lashes was a real gifl. They work even without the presence of real eye lashes. It was one of the few times i felt beautiful again. During the nine months that she was sick, galen lived in the Ronald Mcdonald house, now she returns regularly to help bring comfort to the young people who remain there. Its been less than a year since she officially launched thrive. And while the majority of the sales have been online, shes got big plans. We want to expand our product line and launch in department becoming an entrepreneur isnt easy, but when asked what she would say to someone thinking about starting their own Business People are so willing to help if you just ask them. It doesnt matter if theyre the ceo of loreal or a chemist in a lab. If you ask them for help, nine yes. And when you know you are working toward a greater good, that makes it all worth it. What do you think she would say to you if she could . Yeah. Wow. She named her products after thrivers who have inspired her, including an eyeliner after you, hoda. Oh be that that was a beautiful story. These are awesome. That was great, suzy, thanks. Dont forget to shop Small Businesses this saturday. Have a thanksgiving table thats a feast for the eyes. Speaking of eyes, lets get kleenexs. Karl, dont you have friends coming over . Yeah, so . It stinks in here. Youve got to wash this whole room are you kidding . Wash it . For all the things you cant wash, use. Febreze fabric refresher hey mrs. Webber inhales hey, it smells nice in here and try pluggable febreze. To continuously eliminate. Up to 45 days of freshness pluggable febreze and fabric refresher. [inhale exhale mnemonic]. , two more ways to in just three days, well be digging into a big juicy turkey with all the trimmings. And while your menu may be set, its your table that makes the first impression. Here is editor in chief of house beautiful, sophie donaldson. You look beautiful, and you match your table. Im an autumn. We can tell. What should we get started with when were working on the table. A big eye dhee makes it fancy and grand is height. Thats the number one thing most people leave out. So you dont have to buy things to get it. You can use a few things in your cupboard already. But you dont want to block no, so you can also dismantle. You can take the decoration off and put food on there and you have a beautiful variance. Cake stands are a total win, and not everyone has them. So what i have is a great idea for stacking, as you can see. These are simple ramekins from crate and barrel. This is a teacup. Stack right on top. Theres no tabletop accidents, but youre just Building Height and making different levels, and of course greenery, which makes everything fabulous. And you didnt use your traditional flowers and such. This is all herbs. You dont need another thing to do. This idea is that you already have to get fresh herbs for your recipes. Just double, triple, quintuple the herbs that you buy, you can use them at the table and put them back in the refrigerator and use them later. And it smells amazing. What about the runner . This is two runners. I bought them in the same color. The idea is to feel on lens and renaissance abundance idea. You can take it out of the drier and keep that crinkle going or this one i twisted and bunched and snaked around. Its burlap. You can use starch to scrunch it up and make body, and the idea is to tuck moments of light and greenery throughout. How about the napkins . I love the napkins. Another thing, instead of buying napkins that youre only going to use once a year, i was suggesting dishtowels. Theyre from world market, not even a couple bucks each. Great stemware. Its only 4 each you said at crate and barrel. So cute. Theyre really pretty. Napkin, final product. You want to try to fold a napkin . Good try, hoda oh, lord. In half like this. Okay. The long way. And youre going to make an envelope top. So one corner down. Other corner down, catch up, hoda. This is so simple. Youre doing great. Perfect. And then fold up. And over. Okay. Almost. Take us to the kids table. The kids table. The whole idea here, make it feel special for the kids. They have their own goblets, which is so easy. And markers, you can create with this gel marker, a place setting for them to learn how to set their own table and cute little letters, if theyre older kids, thank you. Very cute. From dinner to family to family music. Before there could be a nation, there had to be people willing to fight for it, to take on the worlds greatest challenges, whatever they might be. So, the u. S. Army masters not only tactics and strategy, but also physics and chemistry. We make battle plans and create breakthroughs in medicine, science and engineering. Our next mission could be anything. So we prepare for everything. [cough, cough] mike . Janet . Cough if you can hear me. Dont even think about it. I took mucinex dm for my phlegmy cough. Yeah. But what about mike . He has that dry scratchy thing going on. Guess what . Guess what . What . Stop dont pull me spoiler alert she doesnt make it only mucinex dm relieves both wet and dry coughs for 12 hours with two medicines in one pill. Start the relief. Ditch the misery.

So when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my longterm control medicine, i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment. Oncedaily breo prevents asthma symptoms. Breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a longterm asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Breo wont replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. Breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. Breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. Breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a longterm asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Do not take breo more than prescribed. See your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. Could be a missing piece for you. See if youre eligible for 12 months free at mybreo. Com.
