Hi! I’m Vanessa, and I’m here to help you free up your time.

Life is busy and if your business leaves you feeling like there are not enough hours in the day, let me help. You might be looking to free up some time. I’m here to help with freelance writing, creative Virtual Assistance, Social Media Management, and Pinterest Management. Check out my VA services and Rates below.

Let’s face it, most people don’t realize how much work goes into a successful blog. Being a blogger is so much more than just having a creative outlet for your ideas and interests. It’s about bringing the world fantastic content that helps them in some way.

Writing is a passion of mine and I have been doing it since I was a kid. Working online for the past 5 years, I am well-versed in many other areas of life.

My Experience

My love of writing started when I was a kid, yep that’s right, I was one of those kids who wrote “books” over summer vacation. I wrote for the school newspaper and took journalism courses at the local community college to try to hone those skills.

Online life started for me when I dove head-first into my first blog. I started from scratch and had no idea what I was doing. I took every course I could get my hands on to try to figure everything out on my own, and while it was a struggle, I’m so happy to pass on that knowledge now!

Dabbling in the backend of website building and learning HTML and how to build a website from a blank page was so much fun. Doing so took time and patience and finding that I just had a knack for being online and helping others.

My life has given me many things and taught me many lessons, which now I can pass on to others by offering Creative VA Services in the form of content creation.

I have a soul that likes to wander, a desire to experience the unknown, and a curiousity to discover things off the beaten path. I hope you'll stick around for awhile!

old water, older trees, and a sky doing its best w old water, older trees, and a sky doing its best work right before dark. some places make you feel like a guest in something ancient. this is one. 🌅

Lamar Valley is where Yellowstone stops being a po Lamar Valley is where Yellowstone stops being a postcard and starts being a nature docuseries. Bison traffic jams, wolves you have to squint for, elk drama at dawn. 🐺

Utah has a mountain where you’re allowed to just…d Utah has a mountain where you’re allowed to just…dig for your own topaz. And somehow nobody talks about it.

Topaz Mountain is exactly what it sounds like, a stretch of high desert where you show up, pick a spot in the rhyolite, and crack rock until little crystals fall out. No guide, no fee, no gift shop. Just you, a hammer, and the slowly dawning realization that you’ve become a person who collects rocks on purpose.

Came home dusty, sunburned, and weirdly thrilled about a handful of crystals. 

10/10, would dilly-dally through the desert again.

📍 Save this for your Utah list 🔨💎✨
Bryce Canyon is the rare national park you can gen Bryce Canyon is the rare national park you can genuinely do a lot in one day! I only had 1 day at Bryce and here’s what I did…

Sunrise at Sunrise Point, the Queen’s Garden → Navajo loop down into the hoodoos, the overlooks at midday, and Silent City glowing at golden hour. That’s the whole day, no wasted miles.

📍 Save it for your trip to Utah 🏜️
(Fair warning: it’s the kind of place that ruins you a little for regular scenery 😉)
spent a summer on the Maine coast and now every ot spent a summer on the Maine coast and now every other place has to file a complaint 🌊🌲🦞⛵️
