Vitality Day Spa
With 18 years in the industry, Angela Gilmore says it has always been a dream of hers to own her own business. And that dream came true in October 2022 when Vitality Day Spa opened its doors, offering treatments using organic and vegan skincare lines.
“I wanted to use a line that, in my mind, was to a high standard of skincare and is on the nature-certified list for being one of the best organic products that there is to offer,” Angela says.
In addition to the current body treatments, Angela hopes to soon be able to offer makeup and updo services, being both an esthetician and licensed cosmetologist. Angela says that she founded Vitality Day Spa out of a pure passion for people. “My goals, ambitions and inspirations have come together to form a truly amazing business that I am truly proud to be a part of.”

Peace Love Paws Pet Sitters
Peace Love Paws Pet Sitters, LLC provides pet owners an alternative to traditional boarding that also doesn’t rely on family or neighbors to check on pets.
With in-home pet sitting, sitters come to the home daily and animals can keep their regular routines for meals, walks, medication, and one-on-one care and attention. Owners report that their pets experience less stress and adjust better to their owners’ absence when the pets remain in their normal environment.
A husband-and-wife team with 20 years of experience in pet care, Scott and Bobbi Wilson, says their mission is to provide peace of mind for you, love for your pets, and safety for all paws in their care!
Peace Love Paws Pet Sitters, LLC was recently selected as a top-five finalist for Pet Sitter of the Year with Pet Sitters International (PSI), an organization of nearly 7,000 independent professional pet-sitting services throughout the United States, Canada and abroad.
