Tell us the story of Tu Vida. What inspired you to start creating these handmade items?
Tu Vida started in January 2004 when sister-in-laws Katie Ramirez and Melissa Ramirez realized that they had a shared passion. Working with their mother-in-law who lives in Colombia, South America, Katie and Melissa began designing and selling necklaces and bracelets to friends. In an effort to raise funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Katie and Melissa quickly starting hosting jewelry parties selling Cancer Awareness bracelets and unique jewelry with a Spanish flare. Word spread and what started as a hobby quickly turned into a business opportunity. The company name Tu Vida means “your life” in Spanish.
You create such cool stuff. What inspires you (and your creations)?
We are of course inspired each and every day by our little ones. Our "Initial Jewelry" has become very popular and we starting selling it once we became moms and realized how proud you are of your offspring. What better way to show the world how much you love your children (or grandchildren), then with one of our initial necklaces or bracelets. We are also inspired by the idea of giving back and fun, funky designs with a Spanish flare!
Entrepreneurial moms are always juggling. So we're curious - what's the first thing you do when you get up in the morning? The last thing you do before you go to bed?
First thing in the morning, drink coffee!! Last thing before going to bed, check email and Facebook!!!
Favorite holiday tradition?
Kennedy Kreiger Festival of Trees
What must-have items are on your holiday wish list?
Always new ornaments for the tree, gift cards to go out to dinner (cause we rarely get a date night!!)
