Embrace Your Inner Homebody with Kali Uchis
Kali Uchis, known for her innovative music, is now expanding her creative talents into the world of wellness with the launch of her debut self-care brand, Homebody by Uchis. This project came to fruition after Uchis became pregnant last year and began reevaluating her daily skincare routine, makeup choices, clothing preferences, and more. “I wanted to create products that I could use during pregnancy, while nursing, and beyond,” she explains.
The initial offerings from Homebody by Uchis include a lightweight body oil, a luxurious body butter, lip balms, and lip oils in delightful flavors like Wish You Roses, Pink Grapefruit, and Raspberry Shortcake. Additionally, there is a sensory candle designed to create a cozy atmosphere. These products are formulated with top-tier skincare ingredients such as squalane, passionfruit seed oil, cupuaçu butter, and hyaluronic acid to leave the skin hydrated and radiant.
Uchis emphasizes the importance of feeling at home no matter where you are, especially since she is constantly traveling the world for tours. She believes that the scents and textures of her products can evoke a sense of comfort and familiarity, providing a much-needed sanctuary in the midst of a hectic lifestyle.
In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Uchis opens up about her journey into motherhood and the significance of self-care in her daily routine. She acknowledges the transformative power of becoming a mother and the importance of balancing her responsibilities while still prioritizing her well-being. “My baby will always come first, but taking care of myself is essential for me to thrive in all aspects of my life,” she shares.
Uchis reveals that she has incorporated skincare rituals into her daily routine since a young age, emphasizing the benefits of oils for both the skin and the spirit. “Oils have always been a part of my self-care routine, not just for their moisturizing properties but also for their ability to uplift my mood and connect me to something greater,” she explains. She also highlights the significance of candles in reducing stress and creating a sense of tranquility.
While Homebody by Uchis currently offers a range of skincare products, including lip oils and body butters, Uchis hints at future expansions into organic apparel and home goods. She expresses gratitude for the lessons learned through this venture, emphasizing the importance of self-care as a means of achieving personal growth and resilience. “Balancing my roles as an artist and a mother has been a challenge, but it has also been incredibly rewarding,” she reflects.
As Homebody by Uchis continues to evolve, Uchis remains committed to promoting the idea that pampering oneself is not a luxury but a necessity. She encourages others to prioritize their well-being and carve out moments of self-indulgence in their daily lives. The products from Homebody by Uchis are now available for purchase on the brand’s official website, offering a taste of Uchis’s unique approach to self-care and wellness.
