In a time where constant motion often overshadows stillness, carving out space to recenter and recalibrate has never felt more essential. Wellness today goes beyond routines—it’s about reclaiming presence, protecting our peace, and engaging with the world more meaningfully.

Between the tempo of the everyday and the pull of the screen, weekends invite us to recalibrate. Whether that means sipping on our own coffee creations in a pastel-hued scene, exploring new dimensions of spatial perception, or soaking in a golden sunset by the sea, this weekend’s lineup of events offers gentle moments to press pause, play, or simply just be.

After a week of deadlines, the simple act of basking in the evening glow can feel like a reset. Sentosa invites us to do just that with the weekly Sunset Watch Party on Palawan Beach. Sit with the shifting sky, reflect in quiet company, and rediscover a gentler pace. Stay for the evening’s sound bath ritual, and leave with a free photo print—along with a little more calm than you came with.

The Sentosa Sunset Watch Party runs every Friday and Saturday till 30 August at The Palawan @ Sentosa, 54 Palawan Beach Walk, Singapore 098233.

French fashion house Maje is back in pole position with its reopening of its Ion Orchard boutique—and it’s bringing serious horsepower. To mark the occasion, Maje has launched a limited-edition collaboration with Hot Wheels™ that blends Parisian polish with motorsport punch. “Collaborating with such a legendary brand gave us the opportunity to tap into its energy, its design codes, and its bold spirit,” says Maje’s founder and artistic director Judith Milgrom. That spirit is embodied in standout pieces like the sporty denim jacket decked out in embroidered racing patches, serving as a turbo-charged tribute to the collection’s energy, speed, and style.

The Hot Wheels™ x Maje collection is available in-store exclusively at Maje Ion Orchard, B1-19A, 2 Orchard Turn, Singapore 238801.

Here, art is shapeless and weightless, opening the door to a world that defies gravity.
