We had the good fortune of connecting with Laritka Sutton and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Laritka, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
My thought process was doing something I’m passionate about. Being aware that consistency is key and there will be ups and downs in business. The beauty is the reward of a successful business.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
What makes me so proud and so excited about my brand is it belongs to me. It’s a representation of who I am and my creativity expressed through cosmetics and self care. On the professional side of things I had to learn how to speak, carry myself, and learn marketing strategies to be successful. The concepts weren’t hard to grasp because I affiliate myself with business oriented people that guide me along the way. Everyday there’s something to learn to become better and better. I’m always up to gaining knowledge. I want the world to know Envied Cosmetics By L services everyone. I am a woman that once was a little girl who had big dreams.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
First things first my friends are sooooooo girly. Taking my best friend to a perfume and candle making class will be the first things to do. ByLeCreme downtown Atlanta, Ga is so fun and they have kid classes. They cater to all. Next visit Bear and Honey Candle ATL. They are located in Little 5 Points. They offer candle making parties and private sessions. For food, drinks, and amazing views definitely would have to take my best friend to Spaceman Rooftop Bar. The ambiance and adult atmosphere will have you glued there. The view from the rooftop overlooking the city is the main experience everyone loves. Can’t go wrong with catching a live band. It’s one thing to hear music through speakers but to actually see and feel the music from musicians is pure goodness to the soul. During the holidays it’s a must to visit the Atlanta Botanical Gardens to see the Christmas Light Show and visit Atlantic Station to go ice skating.
