COLLABORATION

The Santai is an exclusive retreat by Lifestyleretreat, nestled in a quiet neighbourhood close to picturesque rice fields and local village temples but also just a short 15-minute drive from the shops, restaurants and buzzing nightlife of Seminyak.

I was super impressed when I arrived at The Santai due to the architecture of the entire place. It seemed like every piece of furniture or building material has been carefully selected in order to give the guests a peaceful and unique Balinese experience. We were greeted by the friendly staff upon arrival and we were served with some delicious light bites too, which I thought was a nice touch to welcome us to the villa.

I have been dying for this retreat since like forever due to my hectic lifestyle. I woke up every morning with my very own pool view plus the breakfast choice of my own! My favourite was the Japanese bento box! 🙂 Yes, the staff would bring in the food to you anytime you want, I felt so pampered!

This retreat trip at The Santai has given me a chance to calm my soul and relax my mind. I didn’t check my business/work emails for my entire stay and I finally got the time to appreciate my beautiful surroundings. I got to do some yoga in the morning by the pool surrounded by tropical greenery. And I enjoyed some in-villa massages too! Totally the life I dreamt for.

The pool at The Santai is massive. I enjoyed the pool so much with my holiday squad as you can see! After some pool times, I always go for a quick shower outdoor in my master bedroom after my swim or sunbathing.

The master bedroom also comes with gorgeous bathtub that is perfect for a nice salt bath for my own time. It was so quiet and peaceful in the villa and I nearly felt asleep one afternoon in the bathtub.

The ensuite in master bedroom has direct access to the pool in the villa. Every bedroom in the villa has its own ensuite but only the master bedroom has direct access to the pool. A very cool feature in my opinion as I would brush my teeth in the morning and go straight into the pool for a quick swim before my breakfast.

There are plenty of beautiful spots within the villa itself that you can explore and enjoy. This pool villa is perfect for family and friends where you can spend some precious time together and relax at the same time. Or you can also have the entire villa all by yourself! Why not hey!

Braun seamlessly combines design and fusion for products that are intuitive and satisfying to use. The new Braun Beard, Hair and Body Styling Range allows unparalleled styling possibilities for precision styling from head to toe.

As a fashionista and a gentleman myself, I pay a lot of attention to the design of all the products that I use. The design is equally as important as the function in my perspective. The new range from Braun has definitely achieved it with its versatile function and the masculine aesthetic.

The Braun Body Groomer is the perfect tool for a groomed look from head to toe. It can be used to trim, shave and maintain all over your body, even down under as the body groomer sensitive comb, ensures
your delicate areas are under safe trimmers.

 • The 2-in-1 functionality means the product can trim and clean-shave body hair in one movement, for a grooming routine that is fast and hassle-free
• Works in the shower for added comfort and convenience
• A charging stand ensures the body groomer is always charged and ready

The Braun Hair Clipper has ultrasharp secured blades for high performance, which are lifetime lasting for ultimate hair clipping.

• With two smart trimming attachments, and 17 precise length settings, it can be used to customise a huge variety of styles (an extra short setting can be used without the comb)

• Because it can be used corded or cordlessly it never runs out of power
• Fully washable for easy cleaning

The Braun Precision Trimmer has two trimming combs to provide flexible, precise trimming and create precise styles down to the very last millimetre.

The 5mm comb – an extra small trimming element that defines sharp lines – ensures a consistent, tidy trim time and time again, and the 8mm comb ensures that longer facial hair remains perfectly groomed.

Let me introduce you the Travel Steamer Cirrus by The Steamery! Portable, easy to use, and most importantly – it is effective!

I hate ironing my clothes ever since I remember. I hate the hassle of getting out the ironing board, get out the heavy iron from my cupboard, arrange my clothes on the ironing board to make sure it’s flat and ready, the entire process seems to be so long-winded. Finally I was introduced to this Tarvel Steamer Cirrus by The Steamery, I considered myself very lucky! This is one of the best product I’ve ever came across with. It actually does make me feel that this chore is much easier now.

The fact that it is portable and I can take it with me for a business trip/weekend getaway, it is just a perfect way to keep my clothes wrinkles free wherever I go! It starts up in 20-25 seconds. High temperature, pressurized steam delivered on the press of a button. 6 min of on demand steam per refill. And it also comes with a travel pouch that can be used as the ‘ironing board’! I just love it so much!

If you are worried about sensitive fabrics as light silk, fine fibre blends and wool, you can clip on the included fabric brush. That gives you a little extra space between the steamer and the fabric and its also good for removing hair, dust and minor stains.

Thank you for reading.

Galet is an unmistakably classic and playful French luxury brand that designs handmade loafers for men. Galet has woven these two philosophies together to create an original and iconic shoe. Galet loafers are made in an atelier outside Paris, France and our craftsmen use traditional and time-honoured techniques. The shoes feature flexible rubber soles and are available in a variety of materials, including canvas, leather, suede and pony hair.

#GALEYMYWAY

These brown cow loafers from GALET are the part of the cowboy collection. These calf hair loafers are chic and durable alternative to the traditional leather loafer. They may be wild but you can always tone down the look by matching them with a smart and minimal outfit.

My key to this look is keeping the outfit with the same colour tone. Blue is my favourite colour and I always think that it matches well with tan/brown. Instead of overshadowing the brown cow loafers, I chose to keep my garments as clean as possible in order to allow my brown cows to shine!

HEAD TO TOE: Topman Navy Jersey Duster Coat, Topman Chinos, Topman Navy Turtle Neck Jumper, Galet Loafers.

Galet shoes are handmade in France with the highest quality materials and a Blake-stitched rubber sole, creating a structured loafer that offers supreme comfort and flexibility. Without a doubt, they are super comfy and you will know what I mean once you tried them! Thumbs up for making luxury shoes comfortable!

These loafers are easy to clean and only require being wiped along the grain with a lukewarm cloth. For best results, treat Galet shoes with water repellent spray regularly. Always care for your shoes! Check out Galet website for more french loafers and use promo code “thevisionist” for 15% off!

As you all may have known or for those who didn’t, I am like the biggest fan of B&O products, with two great reasons – designs and sounds. The sophisticated design and amazing sound of these headphones give me goosebumps!

No matter if BeoPlay H7 is placed on your head or around your neck, it will feel as good as it looks. They must be the most comfortable premium headphones I’ve ever owned. And this time B&O Play brings you the Bang & Olufsen signature sound WITHOUT THE CORD! YES, THEY ARE NOW WIRELESS!

The coolest new feature of these wireless headphones is the magic touches for me. Even the slightest touch puts you in full control of BeoPlay H7. You can use the touch interface to answer a call, change song or adjust the volume! The touch interface even works if you are wearing gloves, like seriously?!

Not only that, BeoPlay H7 features advanced battery technology with up to 20 hours of wireless playtime. The battery can be swapped in a snap or charged via USB. If the headphone runs out of power and you still want to use them, simply plug in the cord to keep enjoying your music. 🙂

Overall, BeoPlay H7 is just highly recommended. The sound clarity is superb, the bass response is not too heavy and therefore you can hear all instruments and vocals clearly. Try it out from their stores and you will experience the luxurious sounds!

I found this Block Table from Normann Copenhagen few months back and I totally fell in love with it. I have always been a big fan of Scandinavian interior design and I thought this would be a perfect fit with my new home. It also comes in several colours, including the new dark blue which I love a lot!

I find this Block Table so versatile that I can use it for office, bedroom or as a mini bar in my lounge?! 🙂

It’s a neat bedside table for a minimalist. You can put your daily essentials on it and you can wake up everyday as a sartorialist.

Alternatively, it could also be great for your office where you can store your books and some snacks to get through your busy day – it’s great for someone who love munching like me, but I will have to work hard in the gym after!

But my favourite usage for this Block Table is definitely the MINI BAR!!! Sorry pals if you are not a drinker.

If you like to drink, drink in style, and responsibly! I hope you are now inspired by my guide to style and for all the stylish gentlemen out there, check out Normann Copenhagen’s social media handles.
