Sarah Zerafa & Gaia Cauchi Celebrate Tezenis 20 Year Anniversary

Oct 4 2023

Turning twenty is quite the milestone, so Italian brand Tezenis, a Calzedonia Group Brand, set out on a mission to mark this remarkable anniversary with a show-stopping event that would be memorable, the world over.

Its chosen location? Ibiza! Think beaches, clear waters, artisanal markets, and a vibrant international party scene was the perfect place to keep the energy of summer alive. Mirroring the brand’s cool, innovative soul, Ibiza is a place that represents music, freedom, and fun. As much fun in 2003, as it is now! Hosting the private evening event extended to approximately 2,000 exclusive guests that have in some way contributed to this important anniversary was one of the world’s most famous clubs: Destino Pacha.

Malta was represented by its very own Tezenis ambassadors: content-creator Sarah Zerafa and singer/songwriter Gaia Cauchi. Guests mingled amidst sounds that nourished the body and mind, with music being a central theme celebrating the brand’s manifesto: Music For The Body.

Performances included award-winning DJs and producers Robin Schulz and Purple Disco Machine with lights, SFX and music created especially for the occasion. Tezenis sure made its mark last night, bringing back the excitement of being twenty, for just one last evening!

The celebrations began at one of the most magical moments: sunset. With the atmospheric sound of gongs, the island’s symbolic ritual, the night kicked off, with live performances channelling the brand’s energy and freedom of movement. As the Ibizan night kicked in, the dream was interrupted by the arrival of the light show that lit up the club’s main stage, where a story made of music, choreography and fashion began: showcasing Tezenis’ iconic garments, the fashion show collections and the chapters of a story of tradition and attitude.

The show helped strengthen an already essential link between Tezenis and music. In particular, music from emerging young artists, which the brand continues to support as an inexhaustible source of inspiration and universal language. The party, which celebrated an important milestone, thus became an opportunity for the brand to celebrate together with all those who have been part of its history, remembering its origins, the progress made thanks to the people who have worked with it and the journey still to come, always – strictly – characterised by music.

All garments worn by guests and presented during the show may be found at the Tezenis store in Tower Road, Sliema. Tezenis is represented by Rubicon Group, franchisees of the Calzedonia, Intimissimi and Tezenis stores locally.

Tezenis, 17, Tower Road Sliema. Open from Monday – Saturday from 09:30 – 19:00 and Sunday from 11:00 – 18:00. Facebook: Tezenis Malta, Instagram: tezenismalta

Google Searches For ‘I Am Tired’ Reach All Time High

Oct 4 2023

TAG SOMEONE WHO IS ALWAYS TIRED

According to a report from Vice, Google searches for the phrase “I am tired” have reached an all-time high, as revealed by Google Trends.

This trend has been steadily increasing since the inception of Google Trends in 2004, resembling the trajectory of a successful stock. However, in this case, it’s not stocks on the rise, but rather people seeking rest.

A closer look at Google Trends data indicates that searches for “I’m tired” surged in September, with South Africa ranking among the top five countries with the highest search volume for this phrase. Other countries include Brunei, the Philippines, Jamaica, and the United States.

Additionally, related queries such as “tired meme,” “I’m really tired,” “why I’m so tired,” and “I’m very tired” reflect a collective effort to express this shared fatigue, often through humorous memes.

This widespread exhaustion can be attributed to various factors, including the lingering impact of the pandemic, economic uncertainty, and a barrage of negative news. A Gallup poll from last year underscored that global levels of sadness and stress have reached unprecedented heights. Furthermore, a survey by Future Forum revealed that workplace burnout due to excessive stress has reached a record high.

While we may not have immediate solutions, many of us are grappling with the challenges of demanding jobs amid a rising cost of living. The data speaks for itself. We hear you, we understand, and we’re in this together. While a nap may not solve everything, you certainly deserve it.
