HI! I am Elisa Branda, founder and sole author of NuvoleBlu e NuvolediBellezza. My life has been guided by two great passions: beauty and writing. Two worlds that have allowed me to explore harmony in shapes and details, a path that starts from my degree in Architecture and goes through twenty years of experience in the digital world.
In 2005, I gave birth to NuvolediBellezza, a space dedicated to beauty and wellness. What started out as a forum then became a personal blog and then transformed into an online magazine followed by a devoted community, a place where I share ideas, advice and inspirations for those who, like me, love to take care of themselves.
In 2017, my passion for the beauty world pushed me to create NuvoleBlu, an e-commerce of carefully selected perfumes and cosmetics. A project born from the desire to offer products that reflect my ideal of beauty: authentic, refined, designed for those who want to take care of themselves with daily gestures.
The Transformation of NuvoleBlu: A Project for Marcel
“Where you are I”
Then, my life took an unexpected turn in July 2024, and my vision of NuvoleBlu she transformed herself.
Marcel, my life partner, the Man who believed in me and who always loved me and supported me with unconditional and unreserved love has crossed the veil that separates the visible from the invisible. But his presence is here, next to me, as bright as his eyes, his smile and his contagious laughter.
Marcel is joy, love, and pure energy of life: his spirit full of enthusiasm is always by my side, and every day he encourages me to pursue my dreams with the same passion that he put into everything. He was and will always be my beacon, and together, we have never stopped walking, side by side, hand in hand, one step after another (“step by step my love“), beyond every visible boundary.
Because Love never dies.
"I am always behind you, my Love” – is what he always told me, and those words have become a constant whisper in my life, a reminder that he is always by my side, every step of the way.
I decided to transform NuvoleBlu into something different, something that honors what Marcel meant and means to me and my life. E-commerce has given way to a magazine, a space to share ideas and advice not only on external beauty, but also on internal beauty, on small gestures of well-being that can change our day, on choices that make us live more consciously.
“Where you are, here I am”
It is a Latin ritual formula that symbolizes the union of two people, who promise to always be there, even when it is physically impossible, with their heart and soul.
“Wherever you are, I will be”
My Philosophy
NuvoleBlu is more than just an editorial space. It was reborn from love and the desire to transform pain into something beautiful. It is the reflection of a personal journey, of shared experiences and dreams cultivated together with Marcel. It is the testimony of how deep love, the kind that transforms and heals, can give new light even in the darkest moments.
Every piece of advice, every word, is intended for those who, like me, have learned to see the world with new eyes, thanks to a love that has overcome every physical barrier.
The categories of NuvoleBlu cover topics ranging from holistic well-being, conscious lifestyle, passing through the advice for the property, up to digital creativity. Each content is designed to offer useful ideas and tools to improve the quality of life.
NuvolediBellezza e NuvoleBluTwo Projects, One Common Vision
My two projects, NuvolediBellezza e NuvoleBlu, are linked by an invisible thread that unites my passion for writing and self-care. Despite having two unique personalities, they share the same goal: to offer authentic content and inspiration to make everyday life more harmonious and meaningful.
NuvolediBellezza It remains my first great passion, the place where I began to share my vision of the beauty world. NuvoleBlu, instead, is my space for growth and transformation, a project that goes beyond the concept of beauty to embrace 360-degree self-care.
Together, these two projects represent my way of expressing what is truly important to me: finding beauty in the little things, taking care of yourself and living every moment with awareness.
Why NuvoleBlu?
NuvoleBlu it is a place where everything becomes sweet and light, an invitation to find peace in the little things, to remember to dedicate time to yourself and to choose to take care of yourself every day. I chose this name because for me it represents the depth and lightness of life itself, something that despite the storms always remains blue, always open, like the sky. Every article, every piece of advice, every word is thought of as a hug, and behind all this is Marcel, who continues to inspire and guide my every step.
Choosing a name for a project is never easy. In the days of e-commerce I could have chosen something more “commercial” or trendy, but in this case the name had to be NuvoleBlu. The Clouds have been a constant presence in my life, in all their forms, and continue to accompany me on this journey into the world of wellness. With NuvoleBlu I wanted to give continuity to my path, maintaining that authentic soul that guides my every step.
Cloud It is also the name of my sweet Ragdoll cat, a constant and affectionate presence in my life. Together with her there is Star, my majestic Maine Coon. I wanted her to be part of this project too, symbolically represented by the star in the logo of NuvoleBlu. Both are a source of tenderness and serenity for me, and are an essential part of my life and my work.
So, the Clouds and the Stars of NuvoleBlu I am not just a name or a logo, but a symbol of my vision and of the little things that I carry in my heart, to accompany you too on a journey made of beauty, care and love for every gesture.
For Marcel: The Love That Keeps Driving Me
Every project, every word and every little detail of NuvoleBlu are permeated by the love and strength that Marcel has always transmitted to me. His energy and joy constantly remind me that, even if he is no longer physically present, his spirit lives in me, next to me and in every choice I make. His ability to find beauty in every moment and to transform every pain into a lesson is the light that guides me on the most difficult days. His joy and energy are contagious, a constant reminder that life, despite everything, is beauty and love.
Even today, through the veil that separates the visible from the invisible, Marcel is with me. I feel him in every choice, in every step I take. "I am always behind you, my Love" – his words are not just a memory, but a constant whisper that accompanies me, a beacon that lights my path.
NuvoleBlu it's for him.
It’s for everything he’s meant to me and what he continues to mean every day. It’s my way of honoring him, celebrating his energy, his laughter, and his ability to see the beauty in everything. Marcel is my inspiration, my North Star, and this adventure wouldn’t be what it is without him.
"So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters"
 |  |
"I'am grateful for all the words we shared,
for all the moments and the memories.
You've made me happier than you know
and I'll always cherish what you've given me."
Why NuvoleBlu It's Different
NuvoleBlu It's not just a magazine, it's a refuge. It's a space where I want to capture everything Marcel represented: the joy of living, the love of detail, the desire to make every day a little more special. It's a place where well-being, creativity, and beauty come together to offer inspiration and comfort.
Marcel is not only the reason for this transformation, he is its soul. His energy guides my every step, my every decision. NuvoleBlu It's one of our ways of continuing to walk together, hand in hand, beyond time and space, bringing our love to those who need to feel at home.
Thank you for being here, for accompanying me on this journey.
I hope you can find it too NuvoleBlu a refuge, an inspiration, a little spark of beauty to brighten your every day.
With love and gratitude,
Elisa Branda

On the hardest days, I remind myself:
I would never give up our Love just to escape this pain.
I wouldn't trade a single moment of our happiness to avoid this sorrow.
I will endure your physical absence with love, for the rest of my days,
because loving you, Marcel, was the greatest gift and honor I've ever received —
and I know you're still with me, just in a different way.
