Interview with HOMEBODII How would you best describe the Homebodii brand? Homebodii is our celebration of what inspires us, our values, and what we love. Our intention is to create a living story through our designs that are the perfect blend of paying homage to classic sleepwear elegance and modern daywear innovation. I founded Homebodii in 2012, and I am proud and grateful that it has evolved to become recognised for our attention to the small touches and personalisation. We make quality sleep and loungewear garments using a combination of creative intuition and a commitment to our core design values. Our offerings are meticulous in detail, from design inception to the customer experience at every touchpoint. We love nothing more than the opportunity to provide a peaceful escape in our customer's lives. Our purpose is to serve our community with products that transcend 'just throwing anything on' and becomes a tradition that they look forward to.
You live in the Gold Coast Hinterland, what is it about this lifestyle that you love most? The Gold Coast Hinterland has so much to offer and has been my home for over 16 years now. We live on a family property that my husband grew up on. We decided early in our marriage we wanted to create a space where our children can run free and grow up amongst the trees and nature.
Have you always loved the country? You can't underestimate a walk in the country and I feel that we get caught up and forget to spend time outside to appreciate nature and its benefits truly. I can get easily consumed by the fast pace of life and easily am distracted by competing screens and phones. Living on the land amongst the grass and trees gives me balance and a welcome reprieve from a busy or stressful day.
Being a start-up business from scratch, while raising two children, certainly, has its challenges, how do you take time out for yourself?

I have always loved being in nature, but my introvert default mode is to curl up on the couch. When I'm outside, I notice how good I feel. When immersed in nature, I think much clearer and become more creative.
