… that the rec­tan­gu­lar stain­less steel pen­dant (2563–1) and the heart pen­dant with sparkling crys­tals (1177) are ide­al if you want to add a per­son­al­ized touch with an engraved name!?

Are you look­ing for prac­ti­cal tips from expe­ri­enced dis­trib­u­tors? That’s not a prob­lem – you can now watch two infor­ma­tive new videos on the ENERGETIX YouTube channel.

The short film „Dream­like and real – a career with ENERGETIX“ presents an exclu­sive insight into the phi­los­o­phy and way of work­ing of ENERGETIX dis­trib­u­tor Renée Piguet, who lives in Switzer­land, based on com­mu­ni­ca­tion, open-mind­ed­ness, the use of oppor­tu­ni­ties and poten­tials and – last but not least – a good por­tion of fun.

In the sec­ond film, „Sell­ing jew­ellery is a man’s busi­ness“, Inde­pen­dent dis­trib­u­tor Bernd Lind­hauer gives use­ful prac­ti­cal tips and explains why the com­pa­ny’s busi­ness idea is far from being some­thing just for women. Bernd’s suc­cess sto­ry shows that men too can enjoy and be suc­cess­ful in this line of busi­ness if they work „with enjoy­ment and enthusiasm“.

Both enter­tain­ing videos are now ready for you to view on the ENERGETIX YouTube chan­nel in Eng­lish, French and Dutch as well as in German.

We hope you enjoy them!

Much to the delight of David Schn­abel, com­mit­ted ENERGETIX dis­trib­u­tor Karin Christ „spon­sored“ the artis­tic cycling ath­lete with two sportEX bracelets and a sportEX sports shirt (many thanks for the photo!).

„When I reg­is­tered for the Mainz Half Marathon, I had nev­er run such a long dis­tance in all my life! So I asked a few expe­ri­enced friends and they all said, ‚Start off slow­ly‘. And that’s exact­ly what Hugo and I did: we ran three times a week and increased our run­ning very slow­ly. At first it was more walk­ing than run­ning. But we did a minute more each day and even­tu­al­ly it was more run­ning than walk­ing. After four weeks we had built up to four min­utes run­ning and one minute walk­ing – we did this four times in suc­ces­sion, so 20 min­utes in all. Then we ran a minute longer every week but kept the minute of walk­ing in between. In the begin­ning it was hard but now I’m start­ing to enjoy it. 

At present we are on hol­i­day in Mozam­bique and run every day on the beach. Some­times the sand is very soft, which makes it more dif­fi­cult for us. It’s even more of a chal­lenge, too, because of the heat and the strong wind. 

We now run between 45 min­utes and an hour and put in a minute of walk­ing from time to time to get our breath back. Thanks to the phys­i­cal exer­tion, I feel in real­ly great shape and I’m pleased that I’m grad­u­al­ly get­ting fit­ter. I feel full of ener­gy and sleep bet­ter. In Jan­u­ary I’ll be run­ning 10 km for the first time. My goal is to take not much more than an hour. Hope­ful­ly that’s not too ambitious… 

I hope we’ll see lots of ENERGETIX shirts in Mainz. It’ll be a great expe­ri­ence and should be great fun, too. Hap­py train­ing!!“ (Lies­je Tem­pel­man, Hugo Tem­pel­man Foundation)

The celebri­ty backer of the 20th Advent Cal­en­dar door is com­mit­ted to work­ing with ENERGETIX for a good cause (as FROGBLOG report­ed). The video on the Art Advent Cal­en­dar event with actress Anja Kling and artist Jür­gen Redelius is now ready for view­ing on the ENERGETIX YouTube channel.

The video „The 2013 Art Advent Cal­en­dar’s call for dona­tions“ – with, among oth­ers, Anja Kling and Joey Kel­ly – is also worth a click!

We hope you enjoy your viewing!

Men­na, you found fame in the Ger­man-lan­guage region through „The Voice of Ger­many“. What did you hope to gain from com­pet­ing in the show and were your expec­ta­tions fulfilled?

I just want­ed to get out of the Mainz-Bin­gen area and get some expe­ri­ence. And I suc­ceed­ed in that! The dream of becom­ing rich and famous after a show like that is just that – a dream. But that’s not what it was about. Many ele­ments of show busi­ness, tele­vi­sion inter­views, for exam­ple, are (now) much eas­i­er for me.

Your coach dur­ing the show was Nena. How did
that help you and your music?

It was a chal­lenge being in Nena’s team as we work in entire­ly dif­fer­ent worlds of music. But what I did learn from her was to always be your­self and that you should always try to stick to your guns. 

What hap­pened after „The Voice of Germany“?

I received book­ings from clients and agen­cies all over Ger­many. And, of course, the show made orga­niz­ing the tour much eas­i­er. The task now is to find a pro­mot­er or a man­ag­er who can help me reach even more peo­ple with my music.

Since when have you actu­al­ly known about ENERGETIX?

I sang dur­ing an ENERGETIX event at the Eber­bach Monastery in July 2013. It was a very spe­cial show for me and my pianist, Ger­not Blume, because the atmos­phere was just so won­der­ful. The sound in the church and the spe­cial audi­ence has stayed with us. 

Do you have a favourite piece of jewellery?

That changes a lot. But, at the moment, I love the gold­en cross chain from the „Ori­en­tal Fas­ci­na­tion“ range. It reminds me of the tra­di­tion­al cross­es you often see in Ethiopia.

In your brief state­ment pub­lished on ENER­GETIX’s offi­cial Face­book page, you wrote that you always wore ENERGETIX jew­ellery for luck. Are you a lucky person? 

I’m actu­al­ly real­ly lucky. Many things in my life just come togeth­er at the right time!

And what can your fans look for­ward to in future?

I’m just as curi­ous as my fans to see what doors will be open­ing for me in the future. I would like to broad­en the Ethiopi­an side of my music and find a man­ag­er who can help me per­form on even big­ger stages. 

I’ll be singing at one of ENER­GETIX’s events in Jan­u­ary and I’m hap­py to do more shows for the company!

Thank you, Men­na, for the great inter­view. We’re look­ing for­ward to see­ing more of you and your band and wish you lots of suc­cess in the future!

Men­na spon­sered by ENERGETIX

Men­na has returned from the USA and has hard­ly had time to get over the jet lag. But, on the train to Baden-Baden where she’s going to record a jin­gle for the SWR3 radio sta­tion, the pop­u­lar young singer still found time to talk to FROGBLOG.

Men­na Muluge­ta is being spon­sored by ENERGETIX and cre­at­ed a gen­er­al­ly laid-back mood at the get-togeth­er on the Cat­a­logue Launch Sun­day with songs that were full of feel­ing. She then trav­elled to the USA to tour there with her band, which com­pris­es Julie Spencer (per­cus­sion) and Ger­not Blume (harp). The three played gigs in Ann Arbor, Indi­anapo­lis, New York, Wash­ing­ton D.C. and Boston.

Con­cert in Washington

Men­na reveals that it was her first tour of the USA and that the band orga­nized and put the tour togeth­er them­selves. Here, the trio was able to call on Men­na’s fam­i­ly and Julie’s good con­tacts in the USA (Julie was born there). They main­ly per­formed at jazz clubs, which already „came with their own audi­ences“ so to speak. Prob­a­bly a good deci­sion because Men­na is not (yet) as famous in the USA as she is in Ger­many and is still build­ing a fan base.

Men­na, for every­one who has­n’t been able to enjoy one of your live shows: what kind of reper­toire do you per­form? Did you also show­case your own work in the US?

Our reper­toire is based on my own songs from my CD, „FREE“. I also love soul, blues and even music from Ethiopia. My favourite singers are Bey­on­cé, Whit­ney Hous­ton and Ted­dy Afro. But I always try to be open to new music!

Wal­ly’s Café Boston

Asked whether any­thing spe­cial stood out on the tour, Men­na thought for a minute and then said: „Boston!“. Because the last of the five shows in the USA was a gig at Wal­ly’s Café (one of the old­est jazz clubs in the USA) and the atmos­phere there was­n’t only great, every­thing else went smooth­ly there as well – which pleased us all.

The pho­tos show that you wore ENERGETIX jew­ellery dur­ing the shows and a ban­ner with your pho­to also asso­ci­at­ed you with ENERGETIX. Was there any reac­tion to ENER­GETIX’s jewellery?

Yes, there was lots of pos­i­tive feed­back. The guests were usu­al­ly very inter­est­ed in the magnets.

To be continued…

ENERGETIX is again tak­ing part this year in this remark­able char­i­ty cam­paign. All pro­ceeds from our par­tic­i­pa­tion will go to the Hugo Tem­pel­man Foun­da­tion and hence to the chil­dren in South Africa.

Last year ENERGETIX teamed up with artist Ilona Arndt and top mod­el Franziska Knuppe (who sub­se­quent­ly posed for ENERGETIX cat­a­logue shots with Ronan Keat­ing). The mem­bers of the team were respon­si­ble for the pic­ture behind the 15^th door and it was they who opened it (as FROGBLOG reported).

In the run-up to this year’s cam­paign, actress and celebri­ty backer Anja Kling met artist Jür­gen Redelius in Mannheim, where they cre­at­ed anoth­er pic­ture to be auc­tioned off for a good cause.

Fri­day, 20 Decem­ber is the day the „ENERGETIX door“ of the giant Art Advent Cal­en­dar will be opened! Jür­gen Redelius’s art work „Vita Nuo­va“ will then be dis­played on pres­ti­gious façades in Ham­burg (Görtz Ham­burg), Munich (Hirmer Her­ren­mod­en) and Frank­furt am Main (MyZeil).
