meet ruth mckeaney

ruth mckeaney is the author of hungry for home and a trusted voice in intentional living, with a deeply engaged community on instagram drawn to her warm, grounded approach to home and hospitality. she and her husband bob have spent two decades restoring and living in historic homes — including hillside farm in berwyn, pa, featured in stone houses and theology of home — and have welcomed thousands of guests through their doors along the way. for ruth, home isn't just a backdrop. it's where real life happens. her philosophy centers on creating spaces where people feel safe, known, and loved — and kai has been part of that ritual for over a decade.

“the kai *rose perfume is a necessity everyday, it makes me feel fresh and ready for the day ahead! the body buffer creates a foam that is full of the beautiful scent and a body wash that moisturizes as well. the skylight candle has also quickly become a must-have for my bathroom as it creates an incredible ambiance and the scents fill the room. as i am constantly traveling, the travel set has created an ease when going through airport security and i love the small perfume in there! speaking of small perfumes, the travel size perfume oil saves me in many moments where i need to refresh my scent but cannot carry around my full bottle. the keychain very easily attaches to my keys and it is always on me!” - ruth mckeaney
