We are Christy and Erika. Best friends and business partners.  Doxology was created out of a collision of dreams, opportunity and God’s will.  We are a couple of moms with backgrounds in everything, but retail.  Christy spent many years as a sign language interpreter and Erika worked in freelance writing.  We each have three crazy kids and devoted husbands as well as the most supportive extended family.  It is the true definition of a family business.  With Christ at the center of all our pursuits, we figured opening a retail brick and mortar and now online store would definitely be a challenge that only He could equip us for.  Who knew our first major obstacle would be a global pandemic?  Here we are still weathering through!  We are coming up on three years of this amazing journey.  Most of what makes Doxology so great, goes beyond the products we carry, to the people we encounter.  We have a grand desire for all women to feel beautiful, loved, encouraged, accepted and known.  We hope you find just the right outfit or gift and we pray you walk away feeling like your shopping experience was more intimate and personal.  We are also always here to help in any way we can. Just shoot us a message through email or social media!
The cornerstone of our business is our focus on prayer.  If you find yourself in the Winter Garden area, stop in and visit our chapel located in the center of our store.  You will have the unique opportunity to leave your own prayer request upon the walls or if you feel led, take a prayer home with you to keep another person close to your heart.  If you are unable to visit, but need prayer for something, please send us an email to [email protected] .  We would love the opportunity to join with you in storming the gates of heaven for healing, new jobs, lost hope, celebrations, fears, peace, understanding, the great times and the difficult ones or just because.

Hello, I’m Sarah the designer and maker of Sassafrass Designs.

I live in Florida with my husband, two amazing daughters and our two dogs.

I have always been the type to have fun with home and diy projects. (my hubby just loves when I come up with a new project idea). sassafrass Designs was born after I made shirts for my oldest daughters horse show in 2019. The shirts were so fun to make and a new addiction was quickly realized for me.

To this day, my favorite thing to do is bring a blank tee to life with a custom design.

How did I choose my business name?

My late Grandpa had nicknames for all his family members. I was Silly Sal and Sassafrass. I have always loved Sassafrass and to honor him, I figured it was only natural to make it a part of my business name.

Enjoy my designs and contact me if you have an idea in mind. We can put our heads together to make it a reality.

But what is Oh Eco?

We are a sustainable resource for you! Whether you are an eco advocate or just starting to find more sustainable swaps, we are here to help!

Sustainability isn’t one size fits all, rather you can adapt it to you and your family needs. It’s called sustainable-ish, it’s totally a thing, and we are here for it!

It’s our mission to provide products that are better for you and better for the planet. Sustainably made, ethically sourced, non-toxic, and above all useful products. We’re not perfect, no one is, but we can take steps to protect this planet the best we can. After all, it’s the only one we have!

And who are we?

We’re just humans who want to do better for our family. We’ve always been a little sustainable-ish, but once we had kids of our own we realized we needed to take better steps for this planet. After all, this earth is a gift for our children!
We’re a family fighting for our future. We hope you’re here to join us on this journey for a better planet. We’d love to have you along!

Gary and Ariel (husband and wife) dreamt up Wash & Wik while poolside on a mini vacation. Ariel said she wanted to start making soap and candles, and 72 hours later, Gary created a logo and filed to start a company. Wash & Wik was born.

Soon soap was being hand crafted and candles were being hand poured. Ariel hand blends every scent for both their soaps and their candles using the knowledge she has acquired over the years as a Certified Sommelier (Professional Wine Nerd). She blends essential and fragrance oils, from their trusted partners, to get the scents just right.

Hand poured with love in Orlando, Florida, they are proud of every single product created thus far and every one of them is unique to Wash & Wik. They have chosen quality over quantity, which is reflected in the ingredients in their products.

At The Vegan Soap Bar, we guarantee that our ingredients are carefully selected to provide all-natural, plant based soaps. Every bar is created and handcrafted with the intention of bringing a high-quality soap bar to our customers.
