In a world that’s always rushing…
More. Faster. Now.
It’s easy to forget the power of something small. Something intentional.
Something made by hand.
At Simply Stated, we believe it’s the little things… the daily rituals, the quiet moments, the self-care you actually look forward to… that make the biggest difference.
And for us, it all starts with handmade.
Not trendy.
Not mass-produced.
But rooted in something real. Something lasting.
Something worth slowing down for.
Here’s why handmade still matters, and why it always will:
🕰 Handmade Is Slower and That’s a Gift
Handmade means no conveyor belts. No shortcuts.
Just time, intention, and the care every jar, bottle, and bath bomb deserves.
We don’t make thousands of products an hour.
We make each batch with precision and purpose because you can feel the difference when something is crafted, not cranked out.
Slower isn’t less. It’s more:
More thoughtful. More beautiful. More you.

🤍 Handmade Is Personal, Not Anonymous
Every Simply Stated product is made by real hands with real stories.
Sometimes those hands belong to Chrissy or Marcia (our co-founders). Sometimes it’s Chrissy’s husband, Kylee, or a part-time team member who jumped in for label duty.
But every single product passes through hearts that care, not machines that don’t.
You’re not just buying a thing.
You’re connecting to a small business that sees you, roots for you, and shows up for you. One scent, one ritual at a time.

✨ Handmade Is Joyful
There’s a certain kind of magic you can’t fake.
The kind that comes from mixing, pouring, and labeling every batch with intention.
From the moment you unbox your order to the moment you gift it to someone else, there’s a little spark in every product that reminds you…
This wasn’t mass-produced.
This was made for you.

🌱 Handmade Is Resilient
We started Simply Stated at a kitchen table with a dream, a mixer, and probably a few choice words as we fumbled our way along failed batches and a load of messes.
That was 10 years ago.
Since then, we’ve grown — batch by batch, customer by customer, season by season.
We’ve evolved our packaging, refined our formulas, built an incredible community and we’ve done it without losing sight of what matters:
People over production. Rituals over rush. Care over convenience.
That’s what keeps handmade businesses like ours going strong.
We don’t just survive.
We adapt. We create. We keep showing up.

🧼 Why It Still Matters
Supporting handmade means something.
It’s not just about what’s inside the jar, it’s about the story behind it.
When you choose Simply Stated, you’re choosing:
- Real ingredients
- Small-batch care
- Thoughtfully crafted routines
- A business that puts people before profit
- And a brand that believes you deserve better than the big-box noise
So thank you — for making space in your home, your routine, and your life for something handmade.
Here’s to the next 10 years.
And the everyday magic we’ll create together. 💛
