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

Hi Eva, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
Starting my own business was driven by the desire for independence and the freedom to work on my schedule. It all started when I was working as a Makeup Artist. I took the liberty to shape my days according to my unique rhythm and priorities. I now own a holistic cosmetic brand and spiritual business that is very specific, deeply personal and requires a level of care and passion that couldn’t be matched from outside sources. The opportunity to infuse my vision and expertise into every aspect of my business is something I can’t achieve while working under someone else’s direction. This journey allowed me to combine my entrepreneurial spirit with my commitment to holistic beauty and spiritual wellness. I now aim to expand my consultation business by integrating and transforming it into a product-based enterprise.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I have worked in the corporate, the beauty industry, and in the spiritual realm. As a former beautician specializing in hair, nails, and makeup artistry with over two decades of experience, I have transitioned into owning a cosmetic brand featuring handmade natural and holistic products. My love for beauty and extensive knowledge in the field have been the driving forces behind this evolution, allowing me to create products that reflect my passion for holistic beauty that can benefit everyone. I manifested my dream of owning my cosmetic line into existence in 2014.

In my mid-20s, I also discovered my psychic abilities and began exploring them as a hobby by reading tarot cards, which soon evolved into a full-time profession nine years ago. Twelve years ago, I became a cosmic energy healer, I expanded my practice to include teaching for the past 8 years. Now, as a mentor, life coach, and healer, I dedicate myself to helping people live their best lives through holistic and spiritual guidance.

I like learning new and relearning old things. I remain open and humble, never assuming that I know it all, regardless of how many years of experience I have. This mindset allows me to continuously grow and evolve, ensuring I provide the best possible guidance and support to those I help.

I love to combine beauty and spirituality in my life, as I cannot simply set them apart. By joining both forces, I have created a unique practice that integrates holistic beauty with spiritual wellness, ensuring that my services and products reflect this harmonious blend.

I am proud of my knowledge and the connections I make in my day-to-day life. I am constantly learning, and I love the burst of ideas that I can almost instantly implement into my life and practice. Whether it’s my services or products, be it cosmetics or spiritual goods, I ensure they are infused with my ever-evolving insights and innovations.

I have learned through errors and trials, which have taught me valuable lessons on what not to do. With few mentors to guide me, I am mostly self-taught. My journey has taught me the importance of perseverance—never give up, keep at it, and cheer for yourself by celebrating small milestones. Don’t let someone else take your dreams and make them their reality, you got this!

I am proud of all I have achieved because I did it on my own. Networking and making meaningful business connections are important, as they often lead to beautiful friendships. My products are made with love and the knowledge I have gathered over the years. I have a clear conscience about what I sell because I also use everything. My cosmetics are naturally energetically charged, allowing me to combine my spiritual and holistic knowledge into each product. My primary goal is to expand by launching my created products in stores.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
When friends come into town, I ensure they get the best taste of Los Angeles. If someone would visit for a week, where I would take my friends

1st day – Breakfast or brunch at the beach in Santa Monica, enjoying a fantastic meal at Urth Caffé, within walking distance of the beach and the Santa Monica Pier right after our meal. We would also walk to Venice Beach for the promenade and Abbot Kinney for sure, strolling through little shops in the afternoon.

2nd day – Head to Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive for a one-of-a-kind tourist attraction. Shopping opportunity and enjoy Italian lunch at Il Pastaio, known for its traditional pasta dishes. In the afternoon, we stroll along Melrose Avenue, exploring unique shops and designers, and lots of art on this street, making it a visual vacation. Dinner at the Farmers Market.

3rd day = We visit the must-see on your to-do list Hollywood Runyon Canyon because hiking is so LA! We will walk down the famous Hollywood Boulevard for Lunch at Mel’s on Highland and Hollywood because it is iconic. Then head over for a visit to Madame Tussauds Wax Museum. We will relax at the Roosevelt Hotel, rooftop pool with cocktails and dinner.

4th day – Getty Museum for art, painting, and inspiration. Evening, a visit to the Hollywood sign is a must-do for a pic to prove we made it to LA aka Hollywood.

5th Day – We are headed to Camarillo one hour outside of Los Angeles to shop for clothes, shoes, and jewelry. Dinner stop at Woodranch because we love Barbeque.

7th Day – Final day we decide on a Korean Spa day to relax for the day. We round off our trip with Griffith Observatory to see the stars. We will have a picnic with a view of the stars, which always shine bright. The frequent astrological events make it a popular spot for viewers, and our sky view is truly one of a kind!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to express my gratitude to my beauty instructors and spiritual mentors for providing me with the foundational knowledge and guidance necessary for my success. And a very special thanks to my friend Claire Blanc for being a light in my life and my spiritual sister!
