So we spent career expert suzy welch to go out to meet an that is right, i met a a woman who has cosmetics with a cause. Reporter in seattle this is where we caught up with chrissa bodyner who sis the founder of thrive cosmetics. They rare selling more than makeup. You woke up and wrote a Business Plan on the iphone and tell us why and how you started the company in the middle of the night . I started as a Makeup Artist when i was 1eaold, but i knew that i wanted to develop products. My friend caitlyns dad worked for mac, and i saw all of the makeup in her bathroom and i said, oh, my gosh, i have to do this. Reporter in fact, she led to do it so much, she offered to do mine this morning, and she tells me it is in the early days of the en tre arepreneur when she got creative. The base of the eyeliner and the mascara as well in our blender. But you have to start from scratch. Reporter and that she did from starting in the kitchen and wiping out the savings for capital. I dont come from a lot of money, and i used my savings and that is why i have a fulltime job. How much was it . 50,000. And then she had her first sale, and thrive was more than seeing the return investment. It is a way of giving back. I was inspired to give back to the cancer communeity, and from the very beginning i knew that from every product purchased one would be given to a woman going through cancer. Reporter the inspiration came when her friend chrissy la mond was diagnosed with sarcoma, and sadly she died a year after she was ill. The thing about her is that she thrived through the whole experience and that is part of why our name is thrive, because every person deserves to the thrive and wants to thrive. Reporter at age 19, gaylon was diagnosed with the same aggressive form of cancer a that took christyies life. Like most people battling the disease, chemotherapy took a toll on how she viewed herself. I didnt expect that losing my hair would have such a impact. I knew it would happen, but i never knew it would have such an impact on how i felt. So to get the lashes was a gift. Reporter it is lashes that are with a adhesive whether or not you have natural lashes. And now, with her kanscancer in are remission, she returns to help bring comefort to those who remain there. It is less than a year since she launched thrive and while a ma jor i of the sales are online, she has plans for the future. The next step for us is to expand the offering and then launching into the department stores, some of which i started. Reporter she will tell you that becoming an entrepreneur is not easy, but when asked about starting your own business. She said this. People are so eager to help, and it does not matter if they are the ceo of lorieal or a chemist, they will help. What would she say to you today if she could . She would say i am doing a good job. And now, there is a eyeliner named after you, hoda. And that is a wonderful young woman. And get more of these for us, suzy. That is great. And dont forget to shop Small Businesses this saturday. And how the create a thanksgiving i use whats already inside me to reach my goals. So i liked when my doctor told me i may reach my blood sugar and a1c goals by
