a little about Homebody

Good smells, nice things + a whole lot of making stuff ☻


What started as a little creative outlet in 2014 has grown into a small business making fragrances, home goods + everyday essentials. 

All built around one simple idea:
you deserve nice things.

hi, i'm Elle!

I’m the owner, maker, professional overthinker + person responsible for just about everything happening at Homebody Candle Co.!

I started making candles back in 2014, mostly because I was broke, needed Christmas presents + thought buying candle-making supplies was the solution. What began as a little experiment in my apartment snowballed into an entire business. Funny how that works.

Fast forward 12 whole years (!!) and I’m still here, dreaming up new fragrances, getting overly excited about packaging, trying to figure out how to fit more things into my studio + making a spectacular mess of the place in the process.

It’s been a lot of trial + error, a few questionable decisions + more lessons learned than I can count, but I still love making something from scratch + watching it become a real thing that people actually want in their homes.

And somehow, I get to call this my job + that's pretty rad if you ask me ☻

  • When I’m not making a spectacular mess at Homebody HQ, I’m probably hanging out with my favorite human Jack (hi, Jack!) and our two dogs, Rizzo + Crash -- they are adorable, come say hi on Instagram + you can see them make a lot of cameos on my stories!

    I’m usually drinking an unreasonable amount of matcha, hunting for thrifted treasures or buying yet another book despite having absolutely nowhere to put it.

    I’m a homebody (shocking!), but I also love getting out + doing stuff every now and then. Concerts, road trips, antique stores, exploring new places, trying new definitely-not-on-a-top-ten-best-places-to-eat restaurants + generally finding excuses to leave the house before remembering how much I love being at home. I’m a big fan of simple food, loud music, colorful spaces, laughing at silly little things + being in bed by 9:30. Preferably with a snack first.

  • Jack + I spend a lot of our free time going on walks in search of Little Free Libraries and bringing home books we definitely don’t have room for + doing incredibly spontaneous dances in the kitchen. We love cooking + curling up on the couch after dinner to watch tv that we both definitely have already watched before -- we're creatures of habit, what can I say!

    We’ve also assigned Rizzo + Crash their own voices, personalities + elaborate fictional lives that they lead while we’re not home. At this point, the dogs have more developed backstories than most tv characters, and honestly, we’re pretty proud of that.

    I love a good laugh, people who don’t take themselves too seriously + the kind of ordinary days that turn out to be your favorites. I’m a firm believer that life doesn’t have to be particularly exciting to be really, really good.

homebody is good for...

your space.

candles, room sprays, reed diffusers + all the good stuff that makes your space smell amazing.

yourself.

your favorite scents, but wearable! a whole stash of perfumes made for smelling like your favorite version of yourself :)

the everyday.

the little things that make your daily routine nicer. think deodorant (without the junk), body oils, soaps, lip balms + other nice things for head to toe.

giving (or keeping).

because the little things around your house should make you smile, too.

you deserve nice things

I’ve always believed that the little things can make an ordinary day feel pretty special. You don’t need a reason to light your favorite candle, wear the good perfume, or treat yourself to something nice.

Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or just found your way to Homebody, I’m so glad you’re here.

Thanks for letting me do what I love.
Love, Elle
