RETURN TO THE PAST Dr. Kaycee Reyes and her architect husband, Nico Bacani, at the Colosseum in Rome

Always busy traveling, often for work, to places like Germany to keep up with technological leaps in preventive and regenerative medicine, in which she holds a master’s degree from Dresden University, Dr. Kaycee Bacani Reyes makes a point of spending Sunday to pause, reflect, and appreciate the beauty of balance. This delicate balance is the underlying principle behind the growing number of branches of her leading dermatology clinic Luminisce Holistic Innovations, in which she and her team of skin doctors and aestheticians anchor everything on the idea that “to look well, one must be well.” On Sunday, which she devotes to ger family, she also she is at her core aligned with her purpose.

What is your idea of a perfect Sunday?

A perfect Sunday is a day to recalibrate and reconnect—with myself, my family, and the simple joys of life. It begins with quiet reflection at sunrise, meaningful time with loved ones, and ends with gratitude for both the stillness and the moments that moved me.

Best word to describe Sunday?

Renewal. It’s a day to realign with purpose, let go of the week’s weight, and step into the new with clarity and intention.

Book you recommend as a Sunday read

The Leader within Us by Warren Rustand. It’s an empowering reminder to lead our lives with intentionality and to anchor our decisions in purpose.

Best Sunday companion

My family. They are my constant source of inspiration and the heart of everything I strive for. But if could, I would invite Mother Teresa to spend Sunday with me. Her unwavering compassion and humility would transform any conversation into a masterclass on living a life of service and significance.

Flying to Tuscany with my loved ones for a long, languid brunch in a vineyard surrounded by laughter, wine, and breathtaking landscapes.

What would be the perfect topic for Sunday brunch conversation?

How we define success and legacy, not by what we achieve, but by the lives we impact and the love we leave behind.

Best movie or series that once made your Sunday?

A quotable quote about Sunday that’s made for you

“Sunday is the golden clasp that binds together the volume of the week,” from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. It reminds me to pause and appreciate the beauty of balance.

What does “wear your Sunday Best” mean to you?

It’s about showing up as your highest self, not just outwardly, but in spirit and intention. It’s wearing grace, confidence, and authenticity.

If you were to write a book about the Sundays of your life, what would be the title?

Sundays: A Quiet Revolution of Joy and Purpose.

Best Sunday ever in your life

The Sunday I spent cuddled with my children, reading their favorite books and talking about their dreams. It was pure, unfiltered love in its rawest form. Or a Sunday spent by the sea with my family. No schedule, just laughter, good food, and the calming rhythm of the waves. It would remind me how life’s most profound joys are found in simplicity.

Worst Sunday in your life

A Sunday after losing a dear friend. The absence was profound, but it reminded me of the fragility of life and the need to hold my loved ones even closer.

If Sunday were a flavor, what would this flavor be?

Sunday would be the flavor of warm cinnamon, a balance of sweetness and comfort. I associate it with freshly baked banana bread, shared over coffee and laughter.

Where in the world would you like to be next Sunday, if you could just go there by magic?

A peaceful vineyard in Capetown, South Africa, savoring wine, writing in my journal, and watching my children run freely in the golden sun.
