The weekend had finally arrived and so did the big day! I have been looking forward to this Saturday for weeks already. Both excited and a bit nervous, I closed my eyes and imagined how it will look and what it will feel like. What is the big surprise? Last Saturday, after many years, the time came that I finally renewed my old eye tattoo – and all for a charity and good cause at the stylish Moxy Frankfurt East.
I packed my weekender the night before, curious about this playful hotel that everyone is taking about. I have driven past it a few weeks ago, admiring the golden facade of the bold and edgy building design. As I prepared hours before, it took me a while to decide which was the perfect outfit to wear on such a fabulous occasion. I knew that Moxy has a lot of pink elements in their hotel, therefore I decided on a chic pink cocktail dress with black over-knee boots. I topped off the look with my black feather fascinator, which I acquired on a wild Berlin trip and signature eye gloves.
When I woke up on Saturday, I felt like a naughty excited child on Christmas morning! I really love sleeping in nice hotels, even more so when it’s in my own city. Why not take a little break and make a mini holiday in the city you live in? What a novel concept! Therefore I decided to check in earlier and enjoy my day in bed at the Moxy Frankfurt East before the excitement and event started. After all my months of hard work, this was relaxation at its best.
I ordered a taxi and I couldn’t believe what arrived to pick me up. It was like being in a movie, because I have never seen a taxi like this before! A Porsche Panamera taxi was standing in front of my door. Now this is what I call driving in style. If the day has started out like this, then I knew right away that it would be one hell of an amazing weekend! I felt like a rock star being driven to my castle – simply awesome.
This was my first time inside the Moxy Frankfurt East, so I didn’t know what to expect. As I walked in, I was in awe of the space. I love this industrial, raw style with very high ceilings. It reminded me of the lofts studios I so adore in my hometown Toronto. The layout is great because the check-in is integrated into the bar area, giving it a very social, free-spirited and youthful feeling. The ground floor is really big, with many sitting and cozy lounging areas, along with a creative hub working space and dining area.
I could feel the buzz and excitement all around me. The staff was very friendly and checked me into my room within minutes. No waiting and no stress. I was welcomed with a delectable custom made cocktail and a crispy delicious diavola pizza – what more can I want on a Saturday afternoon? The Moxy Frankfurt East matches my requirements not only due to their superb service and efficiency, but also the dynamic and bold style. I know that this hotel will have a huge success because the rooms are perfectly priced with a good size. This gives everyone the chance to sleep in a designer boutique-feel hotel and afford it as well – the perfect concept!
I took the elevator to the 7th floor and had to laugh out loud when I saw the crazy surprise. The entire door of my room was covered with a “Crime Scene – Do Not Cross!” tape, like that of a real crime scene. What a wildly creative approach. Of course that made me want to open the door even faster! Stepping inside was like entering an unpredictable Fairytale. The wall was covered with a huge photo of a sensual woman covered in pink paint. The bed was decorated with feathers, a pink sequence party hat and the craziest of all – pink furry handcuffs with the keys beside them! There were bold slogans written all over the walls and many eclectic records around a pink record player. I have never seen anything like this before! What I adore is attention to details – and this Moxy hotel is definitely an expert in that.
The evening was approaching and my excitement was escalating! I got ready in my amazing room and was pleasantly surprised by the good quality hair products and the large shower. My hair needs a lot of care and thankfully the conditioner and dryer were top standard. I put on my sexy pink dress, left my crime scene room and joined the big party downstairs.
The DJ was in full swing with his mesmerizing sound and people were enjoying their creative cocktails by the sleek bar. Christian Henzler, captain of the Moxy Frankfurt East greeted me warmly and the Inktastic tattoo team was ready to go with their setup in the lobby. The people were lining up to get their artwork done live at the party. What I love about this event is that it’s all for charity. All of the proceedings go to the Kinder PalliativTeam Südhessen – therefore this was such an important event for me to attend and the perfect place and time to get my tattoo renewed. My photographer arrived in perfect time because it was my turn. I won’t lie, I was super nervous. The tattoo artist Zon reassured me that everything will be good and he was right. It didn’t hurt as much as I thought it would and the end results were absolutely stunning! I was so impressed with the precision and definition of his fine work – nothing compared to the dull thing I had on my shoulder when I arrived in the afternoon. I haven’t felt this happy in ages! What a fantastic feeling that everything worked out perfectly, even beyond my expectations.
If you’re curious, see my live tattoo video on my YouTube channel here:
I don’t know if it was the adrenaline after the tattoo, the delicious tequila drinks mixed with the dynamic Moxy atmosphere, but this was one of the best Saturdays I had in 2017! The cocktails were made to perfection with many unique and fresh ingredients. I had my dancing boots on and couldn’t stop dancing the entire evening. We took many photos and the queue for the tattoos was getting longer and longer. It seems like everyone in the city was there to get a wicked new tattoo that night – incredible!
All around the bar area were sweets and delicious candies that one could pack in a bag and take to go. So of course I was hanging around the candy area most of the night. I think that no matter how old we become, that part will never leave our heart and soul. It was getting very late but nobody wanted to leave. The event was going strong and everyone was having the time of their lives. I simply adore Frankfurt – my small cosmopolitan city with a big attitude – and once again I saw how the Frankfurters love to party. The bar area at the Moxy Frankfurt East is an ideal place to have after-works drinks, even if one is not sleeping at the hotel. It’s located on the Hanauer Landstraße, which is the creative and artistic part of the city, perfect for having some after work fun.
As I came back into my room and looked around, I saw how perfectly everything matched. This is what I call style, class, state-of-the-art design with confidence – exactly how I like it. I jumped into the comfortable bed and felt like sleeping on a cloud. I smiled at how perfect this weekend was. I can definitely say that this is one Saturday that I shall never forget. I will always have my magical eye tattoo on my back reminding me of how much fun we had.
Thank you dear Moxy Frankfurt East and Inktastic for having me there. I enjoyed every moment with you and will be back for more!
Tick tock says the clock, and all of a sudden it’s that time of the year again! I can’t believe how quickly 2017 has passed us by. I feel like I haven’t even started my summer yet and it’s already Christmas time. To be honest, I don’t mind at all because being a Canadian girl, I have a big love for winter. There is nothing quite like a romantic evening with snow falling quietly on the ground. This warm feeling of peace is priceless.
Along with winter comes one of the favorite holidays of all time – Christmas! Ever since I moved to my beloved Frankfurt, I have been excited every year when the official Christmas market season starts. We don’t have anything like that in Toronto, and it always makes my heart swell with happiness and joy. This is a special time of the year that brings families and children together.
However, not everyone is fortunate like us on this loving holiday. Very sadly today, almost every fifth child in Germany grows up in financial poverty! Can you imagine how many children go hungry without a regular, wholesome meal during the holiday season? Therefore this big fundraising campaign was created by TK Maxx to support their charity partner “Children for a Better World e. V.” (Short form: CHILDREN), which nourishes socially disadvantaged children in Germany with a healthy, warm and nutritious meal. However the CHILDREN lunch table program is not only about giving a lunch, but also about teaching the children how to cook and create their own food. The kids learn about dealing with their situation in a healthy way and acquire knowledge about the balanced diet their body needs to survive. The lunch menu does not only fill their empty stomachs, but also gives them a sense of achievement and thus strengthens their personal, social and spiritual development.
I felt extremely happy to be able to collaborate with TK Maxx on this very important project! TK Maxx has many of the designer labels that I love with prices always up to 60% less than the RRP. The easy part is that everything in the store is sorted in product categories and sizes, making the search super simple. I belong to those people who enjoy a great bargain hunt, because it’s like searching for a hidden treasure. You never know what you might find. On my last visit, I bought a luxury brand cashmere coat for such a small fraction of the original price that I couldn’t believe it was the real price. Same thing happened before my trip to the Dominicana Moda where I found a designer dress for a price that was truly unbelievable. However, today was a different kind of adventure, because my mission was to create the perfect Christmas outfit to compliment my #socksie (More info about this below).
I left the store with a fabulous navy A-line skirt, thermal black tights to keep the cold out and a funny Santa Claus hat. Since red is my favorite color and is also the designated color for Christmas, I was lucky enough to find a fine cashmere sweater in bright red, perfectly matching the Santa hat! By the way, my new winter addiction is cashmere. Nothing will ever beat this fabric for me. Not only is it incredibly warm, but also soft and soothing on the body. Thankfully TK Maxx has many new cashmere deliveries every week.
Not only did I pick out a cute outfit for my #socksie, but I also went shopping for you my dears! I will be giving away 4 presents for this charity cause in the next weeks. Take a look on my blog, Facebook and Instagram account for a chance to win:
As you see, this cause is very close to our hearts, so please my dear family and friends, help us to contribute to this wonderful charity. Here is how you can help:
It is my honor to be part of such an important mission and I am happy to pass this information down to you. Please find a few minutes to support the Children for a Better World charity. Not only will you look super cute with your Socksies, but you will also be helping others – after all, Christmas is about giving and sharing.
I wish you and your families a healthy, warm, happy and safe holiday season.
Many hugs,
Your Gali
Die Uhr tickt, und plötzlich ist wieder diese Zeit des Jahres. Ich kann gar nicht glauben, wie schnell 2017 vergangen ist. Ich fühle mich, als wenn ich meinen Sommer noch gar nicht richtig begonnen hätte und jetzt ist schon wieder Weihnachtszeit. Um ehrlich zu sein, habe ich überhaupt nichts dagegen, weil ich ein kanadisches Mädchen mit einer großen Liebe für den Winter bin. Es geht nichts über einen romantischen Abend, an dem der Schnee sanft auf den Boden fällt. Dieses warme Gefühl des Friedens ist unbezahlbar.
Zusammen mit dem Winter kommen die beliebtesten Feiertage überhaupt – Weihnachten! Seit ich in meinem geliebten Frankfurt lebe, war ich jedes Jahr aufgeregt, wenn die offizielle Weihnachtsmarkt-Saison eröffnet wurde. Wir haben in Toronto nichts Vergleichbares, und es erfüllt jedes Mal wieder mein Herz mit Glück und Freude. Das ist eine ganz besondere Zeit des Jahres, die Familien und Kinder zusammenbringt.
Allerdings geht es an diesen Feiertagen voller Liebe nicht allen so gut wie uns. Sehr traurig in dieser Zeit ist, dass jedes fünfte Kind in Armut aufwächst. Könnt ihr euch vorstellen, wie viele Kinder hungrig aus dem Haus gehen, ohne regelmäßige, vollwertige Mahlzeiten, nicht einmal während der Feiertage? Deshalb hat TK Maxx eine große Spendenaktion gestartet und unterstützt damit seinen Charity Partner „Children for a Better World e. V.“, kurz „CHILDREN“, der sozial benachteiligte Kinder mit einer gesunden, warmen und vollwertigen Mahlzeit versorgen will. Das CHILDREN Mittagstisch-Programm geht aber über die Versorgung mit einem Mittagessen hinaus. Kinder lernen dabei, selbst ihre eigenen Mahlzeiten zu kochen und die Zutaten dafür einzukaufen und vorzubereiten. Sie lernen auch, mit ihrer Situation in einer gesunden Art und Weise umzugehen und erfahren, dass ihr Körper zum Überleben eine ausgewogene Ernährung braucht. Der Mittagstisch macht nicht nur die leeren Mägen der Kinder satt, er gibt ihnen Erfolgserlebnisse und stärkt damit ihre persönliche, soziale und geistige Entwicklung.
Ich fühle mich überaus glücklich über die Zusammenarbeit mit TK Maxx an diesem sehr wichtigen Projekt! TK Maxx hat viele Designerlabel, die ich liebe, mit Preisen, die 60% unter der UVP (unverbindlichen Preisempfehlung) liegen. Was es wirklich leicht macht, ist, dass alles im Store nach Produktkategorein und Größen sortiert ist. Das macht die Suche super einfach. Ich gehöre zu den Leuten, die Freude an einer Schnäppchenjagd haben, weil diese wie eine Schatzsuche ist. Man weiß nie, was man findet. Bei meinem letzten Besuch habe ich einen Mantel einer Luxusmarke aus Kaschmir für einen Bruchteil vom Originalpreis gekauft, so dass ich gar nicht glauben konnte, dass das der korrekte Preis war. Dasselbe ist mir vor meinem Trip zur Dominicana Moda passiert, wo ich ein Designerkleid zu einem Preis gefunden habe, der wirklich unglaublich war. Heute war allerdings eine andere Art von Abenteuer, weil es meine Mission war, das perfekte Weihnachtsoutfit für meinen #socksie Post zu kreieren (für mehr Info siehe unten).
Ich bin mit einem tollen marinefarbenen A-Linien-Rock, schwarzer Thermostrumpfhose und einer lustigen weihnachtlichen Mütze aus dem Store. Da Rot meine Lieblingsfarbe und auch DIE Farbe von Weihachten ist, hatte ich das Glück, einen feinen Kaschmirpulli in knallrot zu finden, der perfekt zur Weihnachtmütze passt! Übrigens ist Kaschmir in diesem Winter meine neue Sucht. Nichts geht für mich über dieses Gewebe. Nicht nur ist er unglaublich warm, sondern auch weich und sanft am Körper. Gott sei Dank bekommt TK Maxx jede Woche neue Produktlieferungen.
Ich habe nicht nur ein stylisches Outfit für mein #socksie ausgesucht, sondern bin auch für euch einkaufen gegangen! In den nächsten Wochen gibt es für diese Wohltätigkeitsaktion vier Geschenke von mir. Schaut in meinen Blog, in meinen Facebook und Instagram Account, damit ihr folgendes gewinnen könnt:
Wie ihr seht, liegt uns diese Sache sehr am Herzen, also liebe Familie und Freunde, helft uns bitte zu dieser wundervollen Spendenaktion beizutragen. Und so könnt ihr helfen:
Es ist mir eine Ehre, Teil dieser wichtigen Aufgabe zu sein, und so leite ich diese Information sehr gerne an euch weiter. Bitte nehmt euch ein paar Minuten Zeit, die TK Maxx Charity-Aktion in Kooperation mit Children for a better World e. V. zu unterstützen. Ihr werdet nicht nur super süß in euren Socksies aussehen, sondern auch anderen Menschen helfen – schließlich steht das Weihnachtsfest für Geben und Teilen.
Ich wünsche euch und euren Familien ein gesundes, warmes, glückliches und sicheres Fest
Viele Umarmungen von eurer Gali
