Happy Labor Day Weekend from Bella Vita! ✨

We’ll be closed Saturday through Sunday so our team can enjoy a little extra time to rest, recharge, and be with the people we love.

We hope you’re able to slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy a little well-deserved rest this weekend too. 💛

Thank you for supporting Bella Vita and allowing us to be part of your self-care.

Inner peace. Outer beauty. A better way to live.

THANK YOU, SCHOOL STAFF! 💙✨

Our School Staff Appreciation Special is officially SOLD OUT!

We are so grateful to every teacher, school employee, and group who took advantage of this special and chose to spend a little time relaxing, resetting, and recharging with us at Bella Vita.

You give so much of yourselves throughout the school year, and we loved being able to create something just for you. 💫

To everyone who booked — thank you for supporting Bella Vita. We cannot wait to welcome you into the Salt Cave!

And if you missed this one… stay close. We have a lot of exciting things coming as Bella Vita prepares for its next chapter. ✨

**It's More then Just Salt, It's a Vibe**

Yesterday, after two private parties, Bella Vita was honored to welcome one more very special gathering. 🤍

Last year, Marge and her sister, Terri began “Adventures with Sarah” as a meaningful way to honor Sarah’s daughter, Allison, who passed away at just three years old in August 2011.

This year, Sarah’s cousin Stacy joined them, and their adventure became a deeply spiritual journey filled with remembrance, connection, and new experiences.

We are so grateful Bella Vita was chosen as one of their stops and that we could be a small part of such a beautiful family tradition.

Their matching shirts read, “Thank you for being a part of our story.”

The gratitude is truly ours. Thank you for allowing Bella Vita to be part of Allison’s story and such a meaningful day. 💗

Today, Bella Vita was closed to the public for five hours while we hosted two beautiful private gatherings—a Celebration of Life and a bridal party. 🤍

As the owner, I don’t just prepare the space—I’m blessed to be present for these moments. There is something incredibly healing for me about witnessing families and friends gather, support one another, remember, laugh, love, and celebrate together.

My own family doesn’t gather often, so being welcomed into these meaningful moments touches a place in my heart that is difficult to explain.

I truly love hosting private parties. It is such an honor to create a peaceful and beautiful space for life’s most meaningful moments—both the joyful ones and the tender ones.

Thank you for trusting Bella Vita with your memories. ✨

Today I saw that St. Cloud was ranked top 50 out of 1,300 small cities for small business startups, and it made me reflect on how fortunate we are to have organizations that genuinely invest in local businesses.

Over the past year, I've had the opportunity to connect with and learn from both St. Cloud Greater and the Initiative Foundation. Their resources, guidance, and commitment to helping local businesses succeed have been invaluable as I continue planning the future of Bella Vita.

As a small business owner, it's easy to focus on what still needs to be done. This experience has reminded me that growth doesn't always happen in the spotlight. Sometimes it happens through learning, asking questions, building relationships, and creating a stronger foundation for what's next.

I'm incredibly grateful to be building Bella Vita in a community that believes in small businesses and provides the tools to help them grow.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support Bella Vita Salt Spa. I'm excited about what's ahead and look forward to sharing more as things continue to come together. ❤️

🌱 **GROWTH POST** 🌱

From the very beginning of Bella Vita, people have encouraged me to get involved in the community. ❤️

If I'm being honest, I didn't really know what that meant or how to show up in a meaningful way. Lately, I've been exploring what Bella Vita's role in our community looks like and where we can make a difference. 🤝

Today, a woman named Lisa from Roadhouse stopped by. She brought pulled pork, but more importantly, she brought insight. 💡

We talked about community, relationships, and supporting one another. As she shared some of her experiences, something clicked. ✨

I still have a lot to learn, but today's conversation reminded me that I'm on the right track.

Thank you, Lisa, for taking the time to stop by and share your wisdom. ❤️

Sometimes the smallest conversations leave the biggest impact. 🙏

🌿 We are all working on something. 🌿
