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

Hi Oliveea, what do you attribute your success to?
Greetings to all, and firstly thank you for this opportunity. I love this question! The most important factor behind the success of my business is that LivRitsy is not only a brand but it is a mentality too. LivRitsy means fearless courage, ruthless determination, and choosing to be you over and over again because it’s the best, and most confident thing anyone can do. My brand displays elegance with pearls, diamonds, and luxury products because that’s what I have a passion for. However, elegant is a state of mind, it can be attributed to any part of life; beauty and our mentality. The development and success of my brand can be attributed to my first-hand experience of living Ritsy, both mentally and physically- hence the name LivRitsy.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.

My business began as a service-based business in February 2021, offering body sculpting, lash extensions, and teeth whitening. We have serviced in Atlanta, Stone Mountain, and Athens area.  For my brands one year anniversary, I launched an online store that retails beauty products that go along with the services we offer, and luxury bags. I chose to provide upscale beauty products at a modest cost for my clients because every Queens deserves the very best. We offer products such as lash wash, Eyewash brushes, and Gem Rings (what you apply your lash wash on). Most recently I have been largely focused on the growth online because it allows me to have such a wide scale reach with Queens all over. I urge you to check it out, my favorite item is the Glacier Ice Classic Ritsy Bag!

The passion for my brand was ignited on the road to self-love! Throughout my life, often times I’ve put energy and time into people or activities that did not serve me whole heartedly. In 2020, I decided to put myself first and this is the best thing ever. It was not easy, but nothing great ever came easy. Building a brand requires discipline, patience, and committment. One lesson I learned since the start of growing my business is you never fail until you stop trying. I overcome challenges by following my intuition, meditating, and reading self-help books. I believe everything we need is already within us, it’s our decision to strengthen our gifts. I want others to see my brand and fall in love because it encourages them to be their greatest self. Every human is extraordinary, and each person brings something so beautiful to this earth. I simply want to empower the Kings and Queens everywhere, to be elegant every day.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
A weeklong vacation in Atlanta with me… oh my gosh! I love to plan so I would have an itinerary for every single day of the week! Everyday would begin with yoga, exercise, and meditation to start a grand rising. Atlanta has so many beautiful views, some of my favorite outdoors areas are Piedmont Park, Roswell Mill Waterfall, and Stone Mountain. Along with walks in nature, visiting the best vegan spots would be a remarkable experience. My favorite food places to indulge are Sunflower Cafe and HerbalFix. Visiting Ponce City Market, a paint and sip, and the Atlanta Beltline would definitely be a must. One thing you can count on while with me is an epic outfit and random photoshoots anywhere in the city. The most exciting people to me and who I tend to gravitate to are open-minded, geared towards their goals, and can make a great time out of any situation.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My shoutout goes to individuals who have largely influenced history as well as myself to think in unorthodox, positive ways. Tupac and Albert Einstein are two of the most influential individuals who have strengthened my mind and helped me to believe in myself. Albert Einstein’s words, “Try not to become a person of success but rather try to become a person of value,” changed the way I took action with my business. I chose to focus on the value I want to bring to every individual that interacts with my business, this is the most important goal for LivRitsy. I know and believe the success of sales will follow.
Tupac’s stated, “Life is a wheel of fortune and it’s my turn to spin it,”
exhilarated me because simply taking any step meant progression for LivRitsy. I believe in my brand 1000% and once I established the courage to express my vision and the aesthetic I wanted, whether it was “in”or not was a game-changer.
Without question, I thank my mom and younger brother who are my biggest supporters. They encourage and believe in me unconditionally which is the best thing to have on my team.
