A little reintroduction for all of our new followers!
I try to do this once a year, just to give you some faces behind the brand.
We are the Epps Family 🤍
A little about us. We are a family of 4. We have 2 amazing boys, 11 and 4(almost 5). I'm(Amanda) a nurse by trade and my husband is a loan officer, but also he's a volunteer basketball coach in his spare time.
We own Simply Clean Handcrafted Soaps LLC and Swish City McAlester. Swish City is where he trains kiddos to increase their skills and basketball knowledge, but we also run a program where we have up to SEVEN teams now and we give these kids the opportunity to go play basketball outside of their normal school ball season.
One reason we started this is because our 11 year old LOVES basketball and has been working his tail off since he could pick up a basketball. My husband also played basketball up to the college level and has a big passion for it AND helping kids to gain skills and confidence.
Outside of this, we ALSO have a farm at home. We raise cattle, have chickens(like alot of chickens 😆🥰), and we have 1 single jersey milk cow who I love dearly. And numerous cats and dogs, of course.
We do alot of what i like to call "Homesteading" we work to be as independent as possible thru our home. I have a passion for cooking from scratch, when i have the time 😅
About our business, my baby, the one I literally built from my kitchen! I love to cook from scratch, so why wouldn't I love to make as many of our home products as possible, too!
It all started with making 1 brick of soap for our own personal use. I loved keeping things as simple and natural as possible. There's something about making a product or food and knowing EXACTLY what's in it. It gives you peace of mind, knowing you're giving your family something that won't harm them, it's ingredients you trust and can pronounce.
I started up this business to do the same for those around me at the cheapest price possible. It isn't fair that you can buy junk for pennies on the dollar, but if you want something clean, without chemicals, without carcinogens, you have to pay the price.
Ingredients have taken a hike with the influx of people wanting to be more clean and natural, but I do my best to keep my prices down and still deliver a great product AND try to keep my doors open.
We've had a store front for 3 years. With a 1 year closure while we moved locations. I've met some of the best people and have had so much support from total strangers who have become friends.
I've always said, I have the BEST customers around. And it still stands.
Come shop with us! Every purchase gets put right back into this store to keep improving. This isn't a get rich quick type of deal. TRUST ME 😆 This is me doing my best to help others live a cleaner lifestyle and invest back in to continue to grow and make this place a better and better place to shop.
Our family appreciates your business more than you know. 🤍
