The baby naps for ninety minutes on a good day. She spends some of that time on the things that have to get done and some of it on the things she can finally do because no one is asking anything of her. The Quiet Hours is for the second part. Six small pieces, the overnight hand and foot care, the solid moisturizer, the perfume worn for no one, the candle lit for the length of a bath. Each chosen for the kind of pleasure that fits inside a half-hour window.
What's inside
PAUME Overnight Hand & Foot Hydration Mask, the leave-on mask for hands and feet. Applied at the start of the ritual, worn through it.
PAUME Organic Cotton Overnight Gloves, worn over the hand mask. Cotton, breathable.
PAUME Cotton Overnight Socks, worn over the foot mask. Same cotton, same idea.
Kate McLeod Sleep Stone, solid body moisturizer in the brand's sleep formula. Lavender and chamomile, applied at the end of the ritual.
Ceremonia Perfume De La Tierra, the warm-amber perfume worn for no one in particular.
Apotheke Canvas Mini Tin Candle, the small candle for the bathroom counter or the bedside. Soft cotton and clean wood, lit for the length of the ritual.
Why we built it
The Quiet Hours is the Edit we built for the friend who has been listening. Who has heard her say I just need ten minutes enough times to know it's true. Six small pieces for a thirty-minute window, the overnight care for hands and feet that have been working harder than usual, the solid moisturizer that takes one second to apply, the perfume worn for herself, the candle lit for the length of the wash.
