Sometimes, growth looks like stillness. Like pulling back in order to root deeper. That’s where I am — and where Homebody is — right now. Not gone, just in the middle of becoming something stronger.
If you’ve stopped by the Homebody site recently, you may have noticed things are a little… quiet.
Almost everything is sold out. Nothing’s available to order. It might feel like I’ve disappeared — but I promise, I haven’t.
The truth is...
Homebody (and me, Elle, hi!) is going through a change of season. I’ve recently gone through a major life transition, one that’s affected where I live, how I work, and how I make space for my business. Right now, I’m rebuilding from the ground up — physically, emotionally, and logistically.
That means I’ve had to temporarily pause making, shipping, and restocking while I sort through all of these changes. It’s been hard to step away, even just for a little while. But it’s what I need to do to come back in a sustainable way — with joy in my heart, intention in my hands, and the warmth Homebody has always been about.
This pause isn’t the end — it’s the groundwork for something more rooted, more intentional, more Homebody than ever before.
After 11 years of building Homebody with care, creativity, and community at its core, this new season is about deeper alignment — not just making products, but making space for longevity, sustainability, and joy. This shift is a commitment to keep showing up, even when the path looks a little different for a while.
So, what's next?
Homebody will be back. I just don’t have an exact return date yet. When the time comes, you’ll hear from me first — right here and in your inbox, if you’re on the list.
To everyone who’s been part of this journey — for 11 years or 11 minutes — thank you. Your patience, support, and belief in what I create means more than you know.
I’ll be here ready to order when you do come back. Hoping for truly great things in your future (and, selfishly, hoping it won’t be too long before you’re back). You’re now my only source for candles and soap!
Sending you love, comfort, and light in your heart while you figure out what’s next! Your creations have filled myself and my home with joy. I can’t wait to tell 10 more people when you’re back! Thank you for the update and sharing your struggles so we all know to keep a lookout when things fall back into place again. You got this <3
I am hoping you take the space and time needed to care for yourself. As a loyal customer and lover of all things Homebody, I am sure you will emerge stronger and more peaceful. All the love to you.
May these next steps and this new part of your journey be so fulfilling. And may you feel held by all of us as you make these transitions. Can’t wait to see what comes next!
