>>> WELCOME BACK
THIS MORNING IN OUR SERIES "SHE
MADE IT" WE ARE SHINING A
SPOTLIGHT ON NOT ONE BUT TWO
SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS WHO ARE
MAKING PEOPLE THINK TWICE ABOUT
THE PRODUCTS THEY USE EVERY DAY.
"TODAY" LIFESTYLE CONTRIBUTOR
JILL MARTIN HAS THEIR STORIES.
>> AS YOU KNOW THE PAST FEW
MONTHS CLEANING PRODUCTS AND
DISINFECTANTS HAVE BEEN FLYING
OFF THE SHELVES.
BUT HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT
WHAT CHEMICALS YOU ARE BRINGING
INTO YOUR HOME
THAT’S WHERE ANGELA RICHARDSON
COMES IN
TAKE A LOOK.
>> EIGHT YEARS AGO I COMMITTED
TO LIVE IN AN ECOCONSCIOUS LIFE.
IT ALL STARTED BECAUSE OF MY
HAIR
I DECIDED TO GO NATURAL BUT I
COULDN’T BELIEVE HOW MANY HAIR
PRODUCTS ARE MADE UP OF HARMFUL
INGREDIENTS.
IT MADE ME WONDER ABOUT EVERYDAY
HOUSEHOLD ITEMS LIKE LAUNDRY
DETERGENT AND I FOUND IT
CONTAINED EVEN MORE CHEMICALS.
IT WAS TIME FOR A CHANGE BUT
ALL-NATURAL PRODUCTS AT THE
STORE WERE COSTLY AND OFTENTIMES
UNAVAILABLE.
SO I LEARNED HOW TO CREATE MY
OWN MAKING EVERYTHING FROM SOAP
TO LOTIONS
IN 2015 I DECIDED TO CREATE THE
PRODUCTS I DIDN’T SEE.
SPENDING 18 MONTHS RESEARCHING
AND TEACHING MYSELF CHEMISTRY.
FINALLY WITH MY OWN SAVINGS I
LAUNCHED PURE HOME IN 2017
CREATING NONTOXIC EFFECTIVE
CLEANERS ALL FROM A TINY
WAREHOUSE.
I FORMULATE HUNDREDS OF GALLONS
EACH WEEK AND I’M EXCITED TO
SHARE MY LOVE FOR CLEAN
INGREDIENTS WITH OUR CUSTOMERS
>> THAT’S RIGHT AND WE’RE
EXCITED TO SHARE THEM WITH YOU
BECAUSE I HAVE SOME OF THE
PRODUCTS HERE.
I TRIED THEM OUT AND THEY SMELL
INCREDIBLE
SO PURE HOME HAS CLEANING
PRODUCTS FOR THE BATHROOM,
KITCHEN, AND LAUNDRY CARE.
MOST PRODUCTS ARE AVAILABLE IN A
VARIETY OF SCENTS LIKE LAVENDER,
MINT, CITRUS AND MORE.
YOU CAN FOLLOW THEM ON SOCIAL
MEDIA FOR REMINDERS AND
INFORMATION ON HOW TO CLEAN AND
WE ALL HAVE THEM THOSE FORGOTTEN
SPOTS LIKE YOUR VENTS OR INSIDE
YOUR SPICE CABINET
AND WE’RE GIVING A DEAL JUST FOR
OUR THIRD HOUR "TODAY" VIEWERS
20% OFF WITH THE CODE TODAY SHOW
20 VALID FOR TWO WEEKS
WELL, FROM CLEANING TO BEAUTY,
NOW I’M GOING TO INTRODUCE YOU
TO NANCY TWINE WHO IS CLEANING
UP THE BEAUTY AISLE.
>> GROWING UP I STRUGGLED WITH
MY HAIR BECAUSE THE PRODUCTS ON
THE MARKET WERE JUST NOT RIGHT
FOR MY HAIR TEXTURE.
SO MY MOM AND I MADE HOMEMADE
BEAUTY PRODUCTS WITH DIFFERENT
NATURAL OILS AND EXTRACTS.
SOMETHING SHE LEARNED FROM HER
MOM.
IN 2010 SHORTLY AFTER I STARTED
A CAREER IN FINANCE, I LOST MY
MOM SUDDENLY IN A CAR INCIDENT
THAT PROFOUND LOSS CHANGED MY
WORLD AND INSPIRED ME TO FIND
NEW MEANING AND PURPOSE IN LIFE.
FOR MONTHS FOLLOWING MY MOM’S
PASSING, I SPENT MY AFTER WORK
NIGHTS RESEARCHING INGREDIENTS
AND CHEMISTRY AND DRAFTING A
BUSINESS PLAN.
I REMEMBER HOW MUCH I LOVED
TAKING SIMPLE, PURE INGREDIENTS
AND TURNING THEM INTO SOMETHING
TRULY TRANSFORMATIONAL
I DECIDED TO FOCUS ON HAIR CARE
BECAUSE OF MY OWN PERSONAL
STRUGGLE
IN 2013 I ATTENDED A TRADE SHOW
FINALLY DEBUTING BRIOGIO
A CLEAN NONTOXIC HAIR CARE LINE
FOR ALL HAIR TEXTURES AND
SPARKED A RELATIONSHIP WITH
SEPHORA.
SIX MONTHS LATER, IT WAS BEING
SOLD AT SEPHORA AND I DECIDED TO
TAKE A LEAP OF FAITH RESIGNING
FROM MY FULL-TIME CAREER
TODAY BRIOGIO IS SOLD ALL OVER
THE WORLD AS ONE OF THE FASTEST
GROWING PREMIUM HAIR CARE
BRANDS
>> ALL RIGHT
AND FULL DISCLOSURE, MY FUTURE
SISTER-IN-LAW WHO IS ALSO OUR
PHOTOGRAPHER RIGHT NOW, WHEN THE
PRODUCTS GOT HERE YOU WERE
OBSESSED WITH WHAT
THE SCALP TREATMENT.
THEY USE IT ALL THE TIME
I’M EXCITED TO START
I WANT TO TELL YOU MORE ABOUT
THE BRAND.
THE NAME IS SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE
BROI IS AN ITALIAN WORLD AND GEO
IS A WORD MEANING OF EARTH AND
NATURE
THEY EVEN HAVE A HAIR QUIZ SO
THAT’S FUN

WHAT PRODUCTS ARE RIGHT FOR YOU.
SO JUST A DEAL JUST FOR OUR
THIRD HOUR "TODAY" VIEWERS
