Just last year, we hosted a beauty and wellness day with The Viva Group, where attendees were treated to a pampering session comprising complimentary manicures, blow-outs, and more. In 2024—and in light of Mental Health Awareness Week that takes place every May—we opted for a holistic-focused approach instead. Enter: Health Lab; a joint-venture conceived by Club Vogue and Soho House that encourages reflection, connection, and self-discovery.
The day commenced at Ida’s by Charlotte Puxley, a light-filled, expansive event space that served as the venue to a power breakfast served by Guerilla Coffee. Fresh, nourishing cuisine was accompanied by an intriguing panel discussion moderated by Vogue Singapore’s very own beauty and wellness director, Alli Sim, and focused on the topic of longevity. Dr Naras Lapsys from Chi Longevity, Mili Kale from Moom Health, and Dr Ryan Ware from Mito Health shared their insights on the various factors that play a part in extending one’s health-span, from hormones to dietary choices. The rousing dialogue also addressed the compounding effect of ageing, and the multitude of methods one can undertake to lead a disease-free life for longer. Guests walked away from the session with a complimentary bottle of the Eremia Eau de Parfum; a vibrant and vivid fragrance that opens on a bright, citrus note that settles into an intense musk.
This was followed by a Movement and Mobility Class conducted by Trapeze Rec. Club, a wellness hub in Singapore dedicated to bolstering an individual’s overall health and being. At 10.45am sharp, invited attendees descended onto their yoga mats where they were eased through a succession of stretches that facilitated strength-building. After an invigorating workout, guests flocked over to grab an energising bottle of kombucha by Pourabucha. This organic and probiotic-infused concoction paired perfectly with a sweet treat from vegan ice cream label, Kind Kones.
And while some attendees spent their afternoon at a mindful flower demonstration helmed by top florist, Charlotte Puxley, others showed up for a compelling workshop presided over by Bilda. This design-led company specialises in the conceiving of creative tools that aid in introspection and expression, with their latest launch being The Discover Kit. Workshop participants were instructed to draw, create, play and experiment utilising the kit to spur them into uncovering more about themselves.
To end the day, a healing sound bath by Trapeze Rec. Club. Patrons were led through a variety of restorative poses set against a symphony of calming sounds and vibrations crafted to release tension within the body and mind; an encompassing experience that is said to reduce anxiety as well as diminish pain levels. The ambience of the sound bath was complemented by Aesop’s Aganice Aromatique Candles which imparted a fresh and floral scent throughout the space. The pitch-perfect ending to a purposeful day of healing and growth, all in celebration of Mental Health Awareness Week? No doubt about it.
