Locals + Culture

At cityhome we work. Always tending house. We stage and style, move, fix, and flex over houses—our own for sure, and for our clients. And when our brain and our brawn are filthy from it all, we like that mellow, pretty life. That homey, hearthy, earthy, sanctuary life. Slow baths and hot showers. The harvest at the end of a long day, week, month. Life. We welcome the incense and flowers, the freedom to rinse it all away. It doesn't take fancy to create grounding rituals at home. We just need nature. Water. Plants. Soaps and smells. 

If we can settle into our bodies more often, with intention and care, we may be one step closer to home, wherever we are. We are particular about who and what touches our bodies. So we made soaps. Of course we did. How else were we gonna get our hands on skulls made of oud and vetiver, sandalwood and such? Not to mention, they are locally made with love by our homie Chelsea. Sometimes you have to create what you crave. (More to come in an upcoming shopkeeper, shop talk series). 

So, home is where the heart is, but it's also where the skull soap is. Let's do someone we love a favor, and wash their backs once in a while. Or our own.

Welcome home. 

*To purchase one of three soap options, pop into The Shop. We are open 8:00-7:00 Mon-Sat. And, grab a Menu of our services for all things home, in the house, the community, and the body.

Enduring Charm, New Beginnings
5/6/2026 | Jennifer Hadfield
There’s something about spring that makes us pay closer attention to the spaces we call home. The light lingers a little longer in the evenings, trees begin their quiet bloom, and suddenly, the outdoors feels just as essential as the rooms within. It’s a season of return and renewal—of opening...
