THE PROFESSIONAL DETOX
Wellness may be a fucking highfalutin buzzword in need of a spliff to calm itself a little
- and yet, after another year of stressing and overworking, we’re all for a purifying
retreat. And by that we mean we’re jumping on a plane for the Philippines and The
Farm at San Benito – the ultimate for tired professionals in need of a detox, refresh
and recharge, with a broad menu of programs across a heady mix of eastern and
western treatments. Yummy. THEFARMATSANBENITO.COM

Dave in sales is popular (even though he works in sales and his name is Dave).
He holds the gaze of all colleagues, owns his opinions and he’s never once been
seen wedging a George Costanza-esque wallet into the trouser of his Berluti suit.
Be like Dave – own a cardholder (and why not something with a pop of colour like
this piece from Thom Browne).
