Le tired today. It’s very rainy and gloomy here.
Currently experiencing the worst hair ever. En route home from Montreal. I think this was the shortest trip I’ve ever taken. Event last night was good.
Next stop, Toronto. Heading to Fort York for the Arts & Crafts Field Trip today. I hope it’s not too cold!
Ok, engine started. Ready for takeoff!

Recognize these ladies? We’re just a few of the awesome hosts on Coral TV, Canada’s premiere lifestyle channel on YouTube. I’ve been a host for about a year and it kicked off just before Banff World Media Festival last summer. It’s been heaps of fun, I’ve covered a ton of tech topics and apps.
Today we’ve having an event at The Beer Academy for you to learn about our channel, sponsorship opportunities and meet the hosts. If you are interested in attending please email Sarah as per below and say you saw my blog post.
I’m rocking my Coral shirt and will be at the event from 5-7pm. Learn more about Coral by visiting coraltv.ca and see ALL the channel videos at youtube.com/coral. We’ve just joined the Kin Community, The #1 Women’s Community on YouTube, and have some exciting things planned for this year!
The clouds flying in to Toronto this morning at 6am were so incredibly beautiful. It was like a movie. Floating through the air with these big fluffy things. It was turbulent and lightening ready to strike any moment. I could see it flashing across the sky in clusters f clouds. All I could think was ‘please get us safely to the ground’.
The landing was smooth and I exited the airport within about 15 minutes. Photos are taken with HTC One and the video was magically put together by the phone’s photo assistant, Zoe. She’s awesome! I’m planning to show her off in an upcoming Coral episode of THIS. Subscribe to the channel at youtube.com/coral.
It’s so lovely outside. If you’re stuck in the office make sure you pop outside for a tour around the block, catch some rays.
Have a beautiful day,
CASIE
This was a neat social campaign from YVR during their construction. They asked people to share photos on Instagram and Twitter tagged #YVRCANADA then displayed them in large stickers in the airport as it is being renovated. Vancouver, I like you.
My friend and babe Anna Cyzon just released a new music vid for her song ‘Into the Sun’. I missed the launch event last week and planned to tell you all about it. We’ve always bonded over our blondeness and that we both used to work at MTV.

The first part of the video is a little dark for Monday morning but song is good! ‘Into the Sun’ reminds me of a poem I wrote in 2004 when I lived in Australia. It’s one of my favs.
As the waves crashed on the shore,
The wind washed them away.
And as I walked along the sand,
I felt I could not stray.
For I was walking towards the sun,
And it was a brand new day.

Last weekend I booked a trip with Sean to visit some friends next month in Boston. I go there about twice a year for a mini vacation. He’s never been to ‘beantown’ so I’m pretty excited to show him around the gorgeous city.
Mum is always first to remind me about the importance of travel insurance and for this trip I was able to purchase it online through CAA using my new CAA membership.
As I was checking out all the life-side assistance benefits from CAA I was happy to find out I can save money on a Boston CityPASS.
The CityPASS allows you to check out some of the greatest attractions in the city at a discounted price.It’s valid 9 days from day of first use and you get to skip most ticket lines with your CityPASS in hand. You know I hate waiting in lines!
The Boston CityPASS was $89.95 and with CAA I saved $45.96 PER TICKET.
After having my membership for a mere two months, I have saved more than the membership itself costs! Yeah!
I went to the skywalk last year it it was so neat! There’s a full 360 view of downtown Boston. The night I was there the Blue Jays were playing the Red Socks at Fenway Park and I took this photo. I think the Jays won.
If you love travel like me, you’ll be happy to know that CAA’s wide variety of travel benefits also feature these fine cities. Hoping to take advantage of New York and LA CityPASS this summer.
CAA just released a new mobile app for card holders and they have 48 hour travel deals each Tuesday. CAA travel benefits FOR THE WIN! Happy travelling!

Spent lunch shooting new eps. of THIS on Coral TV. Busy day at the office otherwise. Shirt is from Remix clothing, hair is pink & purple/grey, pants are Diesel (from GRADE 9), shoes are sneaker wedges from Jeffrey Campbell. Hope you take a few minutes to soak up some of those rays, it’s beauty out there!
Last month the team at Community put on an awesome launch event for Grey Goose Cherry Noir. Despite the wretched weather that night, the event was a success. We trended to the #1 spot in Canada gaining a few million impressions for our client. It was my first big event with Community as the Director of Social Media and I was pretty happy with the results.
One of my FAV parts of the launch was Instaprint, the Instagram printer we flew in from New York. People could tag their instagrams with #cherrynoir and have them print out at the event. It was so rad. i came home with a stack of about 20.
There are smaller launch events happening in Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa over the next few weeks. If you haven’t had the chance to try Grey Goose Cherry Noir, pick up a bottle this weekend and have a go. Check out cocktails recipes and connect on Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest.
Day 2 of World Mastercard Fashion Week was pretty fun. My fav thing (as I already said) is seeing all my fashion friends in one place. It’s a riot to make laughs, see outfits, and have cocktails together. I saw three shows David Dixon, DUY, and Line Knitwear. LINE was my fav. I alwasy love their collection and have a few LINE peices in my wardrobe. Vine is so awesome for fashion shows. I’ll take a few more tonight at Lucian Matis, Ashtiani, and Korhani.
