Your sophistication and elegance clearly comes from Nellie. Your fabulous sense of humour and invaluable advice - I think you were just born with it, girl ! Thank you so much for sharing it here.

My mother adored both you and Sam! I think we all grow up rebellious to try to find our identity but then we realize how inspired we are by our mothers. I'm grateful for her influence and happy to be honoring her through Chenessa 2.0. Thank you for always entertaining my advice (from sunscreen back then to lifting weights now!)

Congratulations on the official Chenessa launch and finding YOUR way in this crazy world with so much noise; information and misinformation. You’ve created a road map. Forever an explorer…the journey has only just begun.

Thank you for always supporting me! Both Mom and Andrea loved a chic tablescape, like us. Reminders that we optimize our health to allow for more joy every day — found in the little details that make life so rich.
