Embracing a nightly ritual can help align thoughts with desires and pave the way for personal growth and self-realization.

The collection, through its aesthetic and functionality, encourages users to embrace resilience, offering support and comfort as they navigate the ups and downs of life. It’s a celebration of the human spirit’s capacity to heal, grow, and emerge stronger from the trials we face.
The Art Deco Connection
The “Dear Prudence” collection doesn’t just provide tools for introspection and balance; it’s a visual and tactile homage to the Art Deco movement, a style defined by its bold lines, geometric forms, and luxurious details. This section will uncover how the Art Deco aesthetic deeply resonates with the collection’s ethos.
Art Deco: Symbolism of Modernity and Elegance
Art Deco, a movement birthed in the roaring 1920s, represents modernity, elegance, and a passion for the avant-garde. The “Dear Prudence” collection embraces these qualities, mirroring them in its design and ethos. The clean, geometric lines and luxurious feel of the products echo Art Deco’s emphasis on sophistication and forward-thinking, aligning seamlessly with the collection’s focus on intentional living and personal evolution.
Resilience and Rebirth: The Essence of Art Deco
Art Deco emerged as a symbol of resilience and rebirth following World War I, embodying a spirit of optimism and renewal. The “Dear Prudence” collection draws on this spirit, offering products that are not just aesthetically pleasing but also represent the resilience and determination inherent in personal growth. The collection’s use of bold lines and symmetrical designs serves as a daily reminder of the strength and balance we strive for in our lives.
A Palette of Tranquility and Strength
The choice of midnight blue, gold, and cream in the “Dear Prudence” collection is intentional and evocative. Midnight blue, reminiscent of the serene night sky, offers a backdrop of calm and depth. Gold, with its connotations of value and radiance, highlights the precious nature of time dedicated to self-care. Cream provides a soothing and neutral base, symbolizing the blank slate of possibilities each night offers. Together, these colors create a palette that not only aligns with the Art Deco aesthetic but also encapsulates the collection’s essence of tranquility, strength, and mindful preparation.

The Dear Prudence Bedtime Ritual
Set the Scene with “Dear Prudence” Candles
Begin your ritual by lighting a “Dear Prudence” candle. Choose a scent that resonates with your current mood or intention. Let the flickering flame and natural aroma create a calming atmosphere, signaling to your mind that it’s time to wind down.
Raise your core temperature
Begin to disengage from the day.
- Brew a cup of herbal tea or a warm, non-caffeinated drink.
- Take a hot shower.
Engage in a Gentle Stretching or Yoga Routine
Release the tension.
- Perform some light stretching or a relaxing yoga sequence.
- Checking out this post for general full body stretches.
Keep It Analogue
Reflect and Write in Your “Dear Prudence” Dream Journal
Often, we are kept up late with ideas about what we should have done or need to do. Give yourself time and space to put those thoughts to rest – somewhere safe and predictable. This practice of journaling encourages mental clarity and emotional release.
- Sit comfortably with your dream journal and consider which aspect of determination best defines your day: purpose, resiliency, or tenacity.
- Jot down thoughts or write about the intentions you want to set for the next day.
Read a Passage from a Relaxing Book or Listen to Calming Music
Close your eyes and let the tranquility of the ritual guide you into a peaceful and restorative slumber.
- Reading a few pages of a soothing book or listening to gentle music.
- This should be something light and calming, aiding your transition to a sleep-ready state.
Once you feel relaxed and sleepy, gently extinguish the candle and settle into bed.
Practice Deep Breathing Exercises
Engage in a breathing exercise. 4-7-8 breathing exercises are a popular method for relieving anxiety. (Read more about 4-7-8 breathing exercises here, here, or here). This exercise is relatively safe, but the goal is to expel more than is inhaled, which leads to a rapid decrease of carbon monoxide inside the body, and it can cause lightheadedness.
- Quietly inhale through your nose while silently counting to four.
- Hold your breath for a count of seven.
- Exhale through your mouth with another whoosh sound for a count of eight.
- Repeat the process three more times for a total of four breath cycles.
- Breathe normally for a minute and repeat the four breath cycles as able.
As you get better with this exercise, work your way up to six sets of four cycles.
Embrace Sleep
By this point you should be ready to sleep, but if you are not, Prudence has one more trick up her sleeve. This last method is something we call the Inverted Rainbow. It’s origins are unknown, but our founder dirst ran into this technique when researching lucid dreaming in high school, on the early days of the internet. After years and years of testing, the technique rarely fails to put her to sleep.
- Get comfortable in your sleep position.
- With your eyes closed, picture a red colored “7” in your mind.
- Breathe in gently as you hold the mental image in your mind.
- Take your time, explore the mental image. What is the size of the number? What is its texture? Can you feel it? Smell it? Taste it? Focus on the imagined number while breathing gently.
- When it feels “right”, let the “7” dissolve on a slow breath out.
- Replace the “7” with an orange-colored “6” and repeat the process.
- Then, a yellow-colored “5”
- Next a green-colored “4”
- Then, a blue-colored “3”
- Followed by an indigo-colored “2”
- And,finally, a violet-colored “1”
If you’ve made it to the end, congratulations! This is where a 90’s teenager playing “witch” would begin a cleansing meditation, but that’s a topic for another post, and frankly, most of the time, we’re asleep before hitting four.
