Hidden Gems: Meet Britny Goel and Chanel Taghdis of Haelo

Today we’d like to introduce you to Britny Goel and Chanel Taghdis.

Hi Britny and Chanel, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story. 
Both of us work full-time jobs, one of us a corporate attorney who works full-time and one of us a psychotherapist with a full client load. Because we are both so busy, we do not always have time for all of the self-care components we could be doing to improve our health, such as exercising and cooking. We were both constantly overtaken by all of the new health trends online and felt we were failing in that department. 

Given that collectively we have backgrounds in mental health, law and business, we decided to put our skills together and create a brand where we could implement our value of health in a way where it would fit into our already busy lives. The main research that stood out to us were increasing water intake, cutting out plastic, and the power of micro-movements throughout the day as exercise. 

Our main focuses were ease and on-the-go ability, style, and quality. We wanted to find a way to make some of our daily activities more effective and efficient instead of adding new routines to our already busy lives. For example, wearing Haelo Hoop Ankle and Wrist Weights when walking or when doing household chores takes that exercise to the next level, making the tasks we were already doing more productive. Using the reusable Original Haelo Glass Tumbler Water Bottles or the Haelo Motivational Glass Water Bottle helps us drink more water at our desks or in the car while also being one of the easiest solutions for cutting plastic use and being environmentally conscious. 

We put a lot of time and research into creating the perfect products and also wanted to fill a gap we noticed in the marketplace for glass bottles that are protected by a sleeve so they don’t break easily and are able to be used all day. We focused on every detail to make sure they were as useful, productive, and healthy as possible. For example, we spent months perfecting the leak-proof straw hole on the Original Glass Tumbler and the protective sleeve of the Motivational Glass Water Bottle. 

We created a stylish, modern design with a variety of colors so that using our products feels fun and motivating and so that you don’t have to compromise style for health. Our goal is that by enhancing and elevating our routines in a stylish way, we encourage people to feel like the best version of themselves. 

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
This has not always been a smooth road since we both have full-time jobs. At the beginning, we had to meet a lot at nights and on the weekends to put in the necessary time. We worked hard in finding ways to manage our time, create schedules and delegate tasks to each other in order to grow our brand into what it is today. 

We went through a big learning curve at the beginning, and it felt that every time we thought that we were almost done with one task, we realized there was another step we had to do. We faced challenged along the way in perfecting our products and choosing the right manufacturers, and quickly realized not all of them met our quality standards, but we kept going until we found the right match. 

Once we perfected our products, we explored different avenues of selling the products, such as Amazon, our own website, social media, and wholesale, all of which came with their own challenges. Every day we realized there was so much we didn’t know, and we had to do our research and ask for help where needed. 

We noticed that because we are two young women, sometimes people would not take us as seriously or try to take advantage of us by offering to buy our product and company at a low value or trying to convince us that we need their help for a high price. Regardless of the hurdles, we believe in our products and how they can enhance the health of all our customers, so we keep going, trust our gut, and continue to learn more each day. 

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
Haelo is a company that focuses on health-forward products without compromising style and quality. Our focus is making everyday tasks that much better for you. Our quality, attention to detail, and ease of use sets us apart. We are also proud that even though we offer top-quality products, we do so at affordable pricing because we think everyone deserves the chance to attain ultimate health without breaking the bank or sacrificing quality. We are also immensely proud that as two young first-generation women, we were able to build such a successful brand with such a meaningful purpose. 

Can you talk to us a bit about happiness and what makes you happy?
One thing that makes us both happy is helping people, which is what we both do in our careers. This is why we wanted to create a product that was helpful to people in some way rather than just selling any item. We both also find happiness in the little things, such as trying a new restaurant, traveling, or spending time with friends and family. We enjoy doing things to take care of ourselves, whether that be trying a class at the gym, relaxing at the pool, trying new skincare, or dressing up.
