]]>These circumstances do not need to stop you from living a life of adventure. Granted, you can't go out and have fun as much - but don't let that stop you from preparing for a life of travel and excitement in days to come.
But why prepare? Simply put, preparation can be an adventure in itself. Besides, you'd want to be your best self when things open back up it's time to explore, right? Check out these simple lockdown tips to help you unlock your full potential:
Hype up your future adventures by making sure you are physically capable of overcoming anything that you may face out in the wild. And don't let you being stuck indoors stop you from being a beast. You can still commit to a workout routine even without gym equipment.
At the very basic level, an efficient lockdown workout routine will be composed of these exercises:
Three to five rounds of these exercises should let you feel the burn!
What about weight training? Do you miss those weights in your gym? Can't workout without the comfort of those fancy training equipment? Worry not. Simulate gym equipment right in the comfort of your home with these household items:
The point is, you have what you need to keep yourself fit indoors - you just need to open your eyes and see what you can use!
You've got more than enough time during a lockdown. Why not make it extra productive?
Aside from keeping fit, sorting, cleaning, and maintaining your adventure gear is a good way to hype yourself up for better tomorrows.
You have no excuses now to get those outdoor gear of yours clean. Besides, it'll do you a lot of good cleaning your stuff. The more you travel, the higher the chance for your gear to pick up various microbes, pollen, seeds, etc. Although considered as low-risk dangers towards anyone's health, making sure your gear is free from these contaminants is way better off than having a chance of getting something weird from it.
Additionally, inspecting your gear of any damage should save you both the time and convenience of dealing with any repair once you're ready to travel. This is the perfect time to do everything you'd need for your gear. Do it to get ready for your big adventure!
Speaking more about time, self-quarantine also offers you great opportunities to learn new skills. And these skills do not need to solely apply for your adventures - you can learn more to help you cope with other situations that you may face in your life soon.
For starters (and being adventure-centric), try searching for videos on how to tie knots. Is it boring? Shift your perspective! Think on how these knots can help you out - these may just save your life in the wild!
Another is coding. Woah - how'd we get there? Learning a coding language can be considered as an adventure as well. You know the thrill of speaking a foreign language during a trip? The same experience can be felt learning how to code. Best of all, if you start getting the hang of it, is that you can actually earn from coding!
The point of the matter is that you can learn a lot of beneficial skills during a lockdown. You just need to explore (see how much of an adventure this is?)!
You need to make sure you are okay. And that means both physically and mentally.
These times may drag you down. That's a given. All this dark news. All those sob stories on social media. All those rants on how we should deal with this thing we're all in.
Now, breathe.
Slowly change the way you see things. Instead of diving into those dark news, focus on what else is there to stay updated on. Instead of those sob stories, seek out inspiring tales instead. Instead of rants (or ranting), go for a proactive movement instead (if you can, reach out and connect to others instead!).
There's so much beauty in the world. And even during this dark period we are all in, we can still choose to do better. Don't we all owe that to those people in the actual frontlines fighting the disease? Don't we all owe that to those diagnosed but still clinging on to hope?
We can all do better. Start being better by having a more positive mindset.
A nice step towards that positive mindset (and also towards that bright adventurous future) is accessorizing yourself with sacred and positive energy.
Forziani power beads amplify and maintain positive energy patterns. These energy waves help in giving you a more positive outlook in life. It can also grant natural healing powers.
Power beads come in different forms such as bracelets, and necklaces to fit your personal style. It's a simple yet thoughtful way to hype yourself up for better things to come - wear your power beads today.
Hold on, stay positive, and make the most out of your time. We can all get through this together! Keep it safe and healthy during self-quarantine!
]]>However, less interaction with other people may result in stress and depression. After all, even watching tons of shows on Netflix or checking your social media accounts may burn you out during a quarantine.
Anxiety and depression aren’t what you need to experience while cooped up at home. Here are some easy yet efficient ways to protect your mental health during a lockdown:
You need to realize that it is okay to feel bad during a quarantine. It's normal to feel this way. Social interaction is important among humans. In fact, people with weak relationships are 50% more likely to die over the same period of time as compared with those who build and maintain strong and healthy connections.
Fatal, isn't it? But you feeling that way is your body's way of telling you to connect with others. We're wired that way - we need each other.
Understanding that it is normal to feel bad during this time is important to keep your bearings. Acceptance will help you keep calm. And being calm will let you come up with solutions in a healthier, safer, and even productive manner.
Isolating yourself in your home may also limit your physical movement. Depending on your circumstances, the lack of space takes a toll on both your physical and mental health.
Also, the actual experience of not being in a gym to workout can be really stressful. It's all part of a routine that you were used to - a sudden change from your norms can jarring on your senses.
Which is why you need to make the most out of what you have during this time. What's stopping you from not moving? You can still stay fit without gym equipment! House-walking is a good way to be mobile while on lockdown - keeping track of your steps is a great way to keep it up.
Also, try implementing exercise routines in your daily tasks. Cleaning your home can be done with some simple workout motions. You'll be doing yourself a favor as well - keeping your home clean does help prevent the spread of diseases!
But more than improving your physical health, committing to these simple workout routines will also help you focus on the better things in life. Why wallow in despair and stress yourself out with news on the disease? Spending your time to keep healthy is a welcome distraction from all the negativity out there. Remember: stay fit to be happy; be happy to stay fit. Works both ways!
What’s stopping you from wearing some amazing threads while in quarantine? Sure enough, you’d want to stay as comfy as possible indoors. But there are some benefits on why you’d want to spice up your look while on lockdown.
First, it’s fun. You should have fun! A positive mindset is needed during this time. Second, it’s a safe and healthy distraction from all the negative news.
Happiness is a choice - and you can get it by simply wearing your favorite clothes!

Don’t be surprised when you see more men than ever wearing rings, bracelets and necklaces, lead by celebrities – like Jay-Z, David Beckham, Korean top pop singer Woohyun. Men’s Jewelry trends have been on an upswing for a number of years and industry figures say social media, especially Instagram has influenced a lot of men to shed their inhibitions and define their style like a pro.
With style inspiration coming from Instagram influencers and cool friends over social media, most men don’t feel the need for validation from stylists anymore and are carving out their own space in jewelry and fashion at an astronomical speed. Men’s fashion weeks are a solid concept now, having started a few years back and global sales of men’s luxury jewelry is growing at a faster rate than women’s luxury jewelry segment.
As per a recent study by McKinsey and company, annual global sales of luxury jewelry at $166 Billion is expected to grow at a healthy clip of 5 to 6 percent each year, totaling $280 Billion by 2020. Luxury Jewelry is all set to made a big comeback for both men and women. At Forziani we have carried forward the concept of luxurious and meaningful jewelry for men since 2011 and look forward to this exponential rise in jewelry trends for men in coming years!
As a team we put together some tips and tricks to avoid FOMO and look modern and dashing, while defining and adhering to your personal style with luxurious jewelry:
1. Bracelets:
Bracelets have been the most popular jewelry trend for men since beginning and show no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Currently stacking of bracelets is the hottest trend with millennials but if that is not for you, it is okay and you could start safely with a single bracelet on your wrist.
A bracelet should not be the highlight of your outfit but it should adorn your wrists for a more sophisticated look. At Forziani, our classic collection of leather bracelets are the most popular and with easy going style, they can be worn both with formal as well as casual outfits. Go for gemstone beaded bracelets if you're looking for some meaning and purpose from your pieces and for stainless steel bracelets if street wear is more your style. For edgy souls out there, we also have some badass pieces at Forziani which will redefine your outfit with a rebellious touch.
2. Rings:
Wedding rings are not the only rings men wear now. Multiple finger rings are another new jewelry trend for men, which actually has been on the rise consistently since last few years. Whether it be Harry Styles or Russell Brand, multiple finger stacking rings are In right now! From band rings to bolder statement rings, your finger accessories can make much better a statement than anything else in your outfit.
Unique mens rings match up to different personality and interest styles, just like bracelets. If you are into more of a casual look then tungsten band rings will be perfect for you. They are simple and add an effortless touch of elegance. Sophisticated black tie events also suit tungsten band rings. If you're looking for more of a Rockstar look, then large skull or biker style rings will get the message across. At Forziani we have a dedicated collection of men's rings which go from simple band rings to band rings with a ridged or faceted texture and come in Stainless Steel, Forged Carbon, Sterling Silver or Tungsten metals.
3. Necklaces:
If you have been keeping a close eye on fashion catwalks or celebrities recently, you must have noticed an uptick in men wearing pendants, chains and necklaces to the hilt. This is definitely a new trend, noticeable more and more now. Chains for men have been popular since a long time, think Jay-Z, Drake, Justin Timberlake amongst others. But now large pendants and tags on chains and beaded necklaces for men are in higher demand.
Again choose your necklace or chain, depending on your lifestyle and occasion you would wear it to. A noticeable chain always adds a sexy vibe to any outfit and works best for work wear or official client meetings. However, tags and pendants on chains look great for a more casual, weekend setting. If travel time is on horizon, try flaunting a beaded necklace which not only adds a dashing element to your outfit, but also adds a spiritual blessing and meaning to your jewelry.
4. Earrings:
Starting out essentially as a hip hop piece of jewelry favored by rappers, earrings today have become a style statement revered by style aficionados across the globe. Earrings are probably the most visible piece of jewelry on you, since everything else can be hidden with apparel you wear. A single earring on one earlobe has been more common for men, but recently earrings in both ears is gaining traction as well.
If you haven’t tried it yet but are interested in hopping on to this trend wagon, you can always start out slow, wearing a small stud in one ear. Larger statement making earrings for men though, can elevate your style level to fit up right there with celebrities.
Whether you work in the corporate field, run your own business or are in a service industry, try creating your own individual jewelry style for work, leaning more towards subtle pieces. However, for your evening wear and for weekends or vacations you can choose to be more dapper and experiment with bolder mens jewelry pieces.
Try out different styles and techniques which make you feel like you, and then ask your friends or family as to their opinion on which look suits your style more comprehensively. Don’t forget that you can always mix and match and try out different variations of jewelry with the same outfit to figure out what looks the best on you!

]]>Is your survival instinct killing you? Modern day living is a 24x7 aggravated assault on our sensibilities. Be it work demands, personal challenges or social life upkeep, our time and lives are on call non-stop.
]]>Work, eat, workout, sleep, repeat. Set lofty goals, strive to achieve them. Micro manage time, monitor quality of sleep, make enough time for family, and then plan some. The stress of modern day life adds up through the week and by the time weekend rolls around, it might be a good idea to relax and unwind before the new work week starts. It might seem like the weekend is a short time, but in fact from Friday evening to Monday morning, there is a good chunk of hours which are enough to recharge and reinvigorate.
There is more to life than increasing its speed - Gandhi
Letting go of work on weekends and living in the moment of things can bring in contentment and joy. With less on your plate, you can be more in the moment and here are some tips on how to actually get it done:
Unwinding has its own virtues and a restful weekend, planned and executed with care will catapult into a better work week ahead.

“I like threesomes with two women, not because I’m a cynical sexual predator. Oh no! But because I’m a romantic. I’m looking for “The One.” And I’ll find her more quickly if I audition two at a time.” - Quote
The famous actor, comedian, and writer Russell Brand has had everything he thought he wanted in life. He had it all: fame, money, women and drugs. Besides his professional success, he was nominated as the “Shagger Of The Year” for three consecutive years by the U.K newspaper, The Sun. In addition to that, PETA awarded him as the World’s Sexiest Vegetarian in 2007. He was living the life that any man can only dream about.
Although this seems like a pretty good life on the outside, inwards things were not so satisfactory. While many people thought he was living the good life, he was experiencing a painful journey. He was diagnosed with adult deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and bipolar personality that led to mood swings from one extreme to another. Around 2004 he went to rehab to treat his heroin addiction after being told he only had six months to live due to his unraveling lifestyle. The year after, he spent some time in Philadelphia treating his sex addiction after declaring that he has slept with more than 2,000 women!
“For me, drugs were always like anesthetic, they were medicinal. They were not for fun, the purpose was to search relief from the sense of emptiness” Russell Brand declared in an interview with Yoga Teacher Eddie Stern.
After a prolonged suffering period, he started searching for meaning and reading the works of people such as: Gandhi, Malcolm X, Jesus and Che Guevara. He was trying to understand their journey, and how he could be like them. He started practicing transcendental meditation helping him to recover from his drug dependence and use it to act as a sponsor for numerous people in their rehabilitation stage process. He came to the conclusion that all of his addictions were the result of a lack of spiritual fulfillment.
That was a changing point in his life. From activities which focus on outwards happiness he started working on inner strength and happiness. Around year 2002 Russell Brand, got drawn to Yoga, Spirituality, Meditation and Exploring the path of true happiness.
Nowadays, he has changed his point of view in life. Making big amount of money, having sex with every single woman, or filling the sense emptiness through drugs is not the main purpose in life. This new view on life doesn’t mean a stop to his receiving paychecks or performing stand up shows. Instead, this change means he can channel his income into projects that helped him on his journey of rehabilitation, by building community centers for people to seek help out and many other philanthropic projects. He has come a full circle in life, with more giving to the world than taking.
“For the first time in my life I spent more time meditating and practicing yoga than I do fxxxxxx.” - Quote.
Russell Brand’s fashion style has evolved into a relaxed, casual and modern look. You will see him wearing stacks of gemstone beaded bracelets, 108 beads malas and yoga bracelets which he says empower his day. Rudrakhsha Mala is his favorite and you can see it almost every day, wrapped on his wrist or strung around his neck. Here’s a look at some of men’s Spiritual Power Beads necklaces at Forziani, featuring ancient symbols with meaningful powers: POWER BEADS.

You need to have a spiritual wealth along with worldly wealth. As has been the case with numerous celebrities, wealth and fame has often led to a path of certain disaster. Sudden riches have culminated in abuse of alcohol, drugs and other excessives in their lifestyle. But some celebrities have gained success and riches and have become better humans for it. They live a life of inner spirituality and bigger purpose of helping and giving.
Let’s talk about one of my favorite actors, Richard Gere. You may know him as the superstar of Pretty Woman, Runaway Bride, and American Gigolo. Or maybe as the successful actor who in 1999 was listed as the Sexiest Man Alive by People’s Magazine, and married to Cindy Crawford one of the most beautiful women in the 90’s. But did you know he also is a Buddhist and a loyal student of Dalai Lama’s teachings? By the time he was in his late twenties he felt confused and was living anxiously. Even though he was thriving as an actor he always felt a sense of emptiness in his life.
Ever wonder why? Having all these “great” things and events happening to him, as a person he still felt incomplete? It’s because other than physical aspects, there are so many other senses which we need to be fulfilled as a human being. As spiritual beings living a physical experience, we cultivate more of outside senses of our being, rather than focussing on what is of importance inside of us. This is how we’re brought up in the society with importance placed on materialistic achievements rather than spiritual growth.
As human beings, our primary goal should be to aspire for spiritual growth, which is sometimes related to our purpose or our mission in life. From there on we should focus on outwardly pleasures of life. In essence, we should grow from the inside out, not the other way round. That is the only for us to achieve a sense of fulfillment and true accomplishment in every aspect of our lives. Riches and Wealth can come to anyone but they only stay with the person who values them for the right reason. It is never too late to start our spiritual journey and start achieving your inner success.
“The drive for happiness is vital, it’s what keeps us in motion” – Richard Gere]]>

Forziani Style: Tell us a bit about yourself and how you got started with music
REBELL: I have been a DJ for the last 8-9 years and have constantly been evolving with the industry as it grows. I started performing with the house genres and its sub-genres and evolved into the Basshouse genre by around 2015, which is my main focus now. It also gave me the opportunity to perform with JAUZ (a well-known Basshouse DJ) during his European tour and from there on I slowly started to incorporate more Bass and Trap sounds to my sets. That's how My Brand - ALL 'BOUT BASS was born. Regardless of the fact that I mainly play Bass and Trap, I can easily include Future Bass, Dubstep and other similar genres into my performances as they all relates to each other. Plus I just love diversity!
Orlando is a constantly growing city, it seems that Electronic Music has taken a firm hold on Orlando. What are your thoughts, and where do you think it's going?
First thing I noticed, was how much Electronic Music is appreciated here. Not only in Orlando, but throughout the States. As for Orlando, I have heard the past 2 years it has been growing enormously. I have been to almost every club in Orlando and I must say, the scene is doing pretty well. Especially when it comes to the whole Bass & Trap scene. I mean, I’ve seen big artists play in the past few months at clubs like Gilt and Venue 578. The fact that I have buddies from back home playing here in Orlando, definitely says enough on how big the scene here is becoming. Can't forget to mention EDC Orlando which has over 30,000 people attending from all over the U.S. So I definitely see the city and it's nightlife growing. There is always something to do 7 days a week!
We read on Twitter that you love art and music and you're inspired by different types of art. What type of art helps inspire your music and how?
That's true; I see art as an outlet for people with different views on life or as a way of expressing themselves. I specially love abstract art - it's an art form where you have to figure out the meaning it's portraying and the reason why it has been put up in that particular way. When I see a painting which lights up a certain emotion in me, I end up expressing that through my music. It's complex but it all goes so well together.
Can you tell us a bit about your tattoos and what inspired you to get them?
I have multiple tattoos all over and each one of them has a specific meaning. If I don't tell you my meaning, you would interpret it in your own way and instill your own meaning into it. That is the best form art and how I like to enjoy it.
Which genre of music inspires you the most?
I am a true connoisseur of good music and can be inspired by any genre. I can listen to Classical music, Movie scores, Motown music, Rock, Hip-hop, Bass or Trap with equal rapture. Each genre has its own meaning when it comes to bringing a certain emotion. Not necessarily all, but a majority of music I listen to, ends up triggering some feelings that end up in my expression of music.
Has fashion style been a big part of your life? When did you start paying attention to style?
It definitely has, I started off fairly young paying attention to what I would wear. I'm not saying I’m the most stylish person around when it comes to fashion, but I like to portray a certain image of myself which goes with the nature of music I play.
When it comes to your mixing style, what DJ's have you taken the most inspiration from.
When it comes to your mixing style, what DJ's have you taken the most inspiration from.The majority of my inspiration comes from my own self. However, there are people that definitely created the possibility for others to embrace all music styles. I have to say artist like JAUZ, NGHTMRE, JoyRyde, Boombox Cartel among others. I like to brand myself with ALL 'BOUT BASS, as it is not just about Bass & Trap. I like to have complete freedom in combining all the subgenres, it can be hard and dark but it can be uplifting and joyful at the same time. But Bass will always be present.
Who are your favorite up and comers in the music industry?
There are so many up and comers that I really dig, but first and foremost; Out of Cookies is a great up comer. Also, a good friend of mine from back in The Netherlands has some good music coming on and I definitely see him grow in the scene. I also have some upcoming projects with him, ready to be released in the near future. Also the PURGE are one of my favorites, they've got some real good things going on and some very good releases. Some others that are worth mentioning are Bonnie x Clyde, Part Native, Nitti Gritti and Big N Slim. They all got some good interesting music.
If you had to choose one of our own Forziani products, which one would you choose and how would it complement your style?
Isn't it obvious (wink) - I would choose the black leather bracelet with skulls. I’m fascinated by it. I wear black most of the time and love the dark side of things. The way that piece is designed, stood out to me and speaks volumes about my own personal style. As I think that majority of your products do - each design has its own meaning and attraction to a certain person. I always recommend people to check out what Forziani has to offer for both men and women!

Believe it or not, research suggests that feeling excited about gift giving and actually wanting to go out there and make people in our life smile, well actually makes YOU Happy. As a bonus it leads to great relationships and friendships in the coming years. So feel a little love and remember to enjoy the ride. Try to make gifts personal Gifting is an opportunity to let a person know how much you appreciate and love them, and to show how well you know them. Try to think a little bit about the personality of the person, their interests, their wish list etc before you buy them something. Then personalize it in our own way, write a thoughtful note or maybe wrap it in a special gift paper and not the tissues found in store gift bags.
Don't let the gift be all about cots and price tags. Instead get creative and think out of the box. Jewelry for women has always been popular and now meaningful jewelry for men is gaining traction as seen across all age groups. Purposeful Jewelry is always a good idea considering it feels personal and thoughtful at the same time.
Attention to detail is something which can make a gift stand out - last minute or advance purchase. Instead of generic packaging opt for personally wrapped gifts with a hand written note and a special bow. The look and feel of a gift is everything.
If there is someone on your list who is tough to plan for and leaves you stumped, ask for help from a close friend or family member. You don't have to thrash it out alone and another person might have experience in gifting to fit in your budget and scale of things.
Try to find stores or websites which can offer a range of services like gift wrapping, gift notes, urgent deliveries etc. This can be a boon for last minute shopping since you don't have time to co-ordinate things from different places and all your boxes can arrive from one spot.
Gifting can be stressful but you don't have to show it on your face. Let our team do the work and you can enjoy a well packaged, meaningful gift at great discounts on Forziani.com We are here to offer full personalized gifting options based on your budget and style and would be happy to assist you make a choice.
We head to Roatan Island, just off the coast of Honduras. Within the island resides Mahogany Bay. It's an exclusive island catered towards cruise travellers. There are several activities on the island including: scuba diving, zip-lining, tours, restaurants and snorkeling. We decided to relax by the beach with its soft white sand and clear blue waters. Just within the shore, there are numerous corals and fishes to marvel.
During our trip across Mahogany Beach, our pieces of choice were Blue Lapis Bracelet and Black Lava Bracelet from our Himalayan Beads collection. They both have a sea explorer vibe with their deep colors and a rugged appearance. And like all our other beaded bracelets, they're salt proof. Tell us what you would take with you on your next vacation. Keep Exploring!
