EDITOR’S LETTER:
This second edition of The Lifestyle Edit looks at foundations - the environments and systems we return to.
In Canggu, a residential development built around movement, recovery and work rather than spectacle. On Bermondsey Street, the original room that named a brand. And in the digital realm, a fitness ring that reframes who controls your health data.
These pieces are not about novelty. They are about structure — how places and tools hold up when used repeatedly, and how origin, design and ownership shape daily life.
— James
PRODUCT
Tracking Without Extraction - The CUDIS Fitness Ring:
A fitness ring handing over data ownership rather than platform extraction.
After a year of use, it remains because it integrates seamlessly into daily life.
LIVING
Living by Design - The Body Factory Property, Bali:
A permanent residence built around movement, recovery and work.
The original Body Factory gym next door.
Outdoor pool at the centre. Recovery integrated into daily rhythm rather than reserved for retreat.
PLACE
The Room That Named the Brand: WatchHouse, Bermondsey Street
The original 19th-century watch house still stands — chimney intact, working fire lit.
The building came first. The brand followed.
The Lifestyle Edit is curated by Vitae Wellness — exploring living, place and product through use rather than trend.
Thank you for reading.
From The Reset Series™
If you missed this week’s edition of The Reset Series™, we focused on the Junk Food Reset.
Rather than framing ultra-processed foods as a moral issue, the guide looks at why cravings persist — especially in busy, high-stress environments — and how to stabilise energy and appetite without restriction or diet culture.
It covers:
• why quick-reward foods are so easy to rely on
• how to reduce energy crashes
• restoring steadier appetite patterns
• practical shifts that work in real life
