A Note From The Editor

I am yearning for walks in the beautiful streets of Florence, picnics by the ethereal lakes of Switzerland, immersing in tradition in India, cooking freshly picked vegetables in our Norwegian cabin and being home in the warm embrace of my parents in Singapore. 

The older I get, the more I appreciate every moment of every day. Every single day is a gift and it is amazing how ageing proof to be the force that reminds us of how beautiful the world is – and of course, that thought is being made even more poignant with the current pandemic; which has overstayed its welcome.

This morning, as I walked barefoot in my garden, a daily ritual I do to connect with earth’s natural healing energy, I reminisced things that have brought me to this very day – the adventure of it all. I squealed in delight, knowing whatever that have been handed out to me; the good and bad and everything in between has placed me right at this very space I am standing in. 

A couple of days ago, I got a rather interesting invitation to experience a psychedelic retreat in Peru; pending the opening of the global borders, of course.  While it has not been made legal in many countries, psychedelic retreats are mushrooming (no pun intended) in places where it is allowed. Couple of months ago, I spoke with Jonathan De Potter who runs a plant medicine retreat in Costa Rica and featured him on Fab! Luxe.  Click on this link to read. 

Psychedelic is believed to help individuals have a deeper understanding of themselves; giving clarity to limited thinking and pave the way to have potential-fulfilled. 

Am I excited to try? No.  Am I curious? Oh, that’s a definite, yes – especially when “potential” and “fulfilled” come in one sentence - this could be another one of life’s adventure; one I can fill in between my journal.

Oh it's June – we have arrived halfway through 2021. It is often said that “time flies when you are having fun” but why does it still fly when most of the world’s population is still locked in within our borders; with no vacation and to many, not even the basic human needs fulfilled - morning walks; to breathe in the fresh air, getting together with family and friends, school, work. We can only pray, hope and STAY HOME when needed.

Fab! Luxe is welcoming summer in June with exciting pieces; summer make-up, intermittent fasting, meditation, luxury property in Batam, Indonesia - just to name a few. 

Hope you are all ready for something warm and fun – even if it means being confined to the comforts of your own homes.

Playful June, all!

Love,
