A NOTE FROM VANESSA
Oh, hey! I’m Vanessa.
A Boston-based creative, traveler, and beauty enthusiast sharing stories, finds, and tiny joys that make everyday life feel a bit more beautiful (and a lot more fun).
Psst…Need a Brand Glow-Up?
When I’m not sharing beauty finds or hopping on a plane, I’m helping brands find their -ness
—that special spark that makes them unforgettable. At The Ness, we blend strategy with soul to craft brands that feel like you on your best day (but every day).
In the Mood…
