Girls, Tattoos, Attitude + Sun

I haven’t decided to colour in the owl on my arm or not. I like it like this. I think it’s time for some new work. I have a few ideas but it’s time to get drawing. Some nice girl tattoos on this blog I found. My right arm has tattoos because I’m left handed and I draw them on first. Had a jerk chicken sandwich on the patio at Harlem Underground yesterday. Was ok, made me miss Ackee Tree, that place had the best jerk sandwich ever. Loving this warm summer sunshine. The lake waves are crashing on the dock. Rdio cottage mix in the background. Beaut! Enjoy the day! CASIE

Burgers Priest: The Way Burgers Should Be (1970’s)

This comes out tomorrow, but by secret connections of the internet, I’m sharing with you today! My friends at Biz Media really love great burgers and wanted to capture the essence of what really made fast food great in the olden days. They matched that pure burger love with vintage video production to make this great throwback. The brand new Burgers Priest on Queen West opens Saturday at 6pm. Here’s to vintage awesomeness, burgers, and good friends! CASIE

We face neither East nor West: we face forward.

I totally underestimated the time it takes to get from our place in the West end by streetcar to downtown. I don’t know why I always imagine the TTC to be a quick mode of transportation. (What was I thinking?) I really should have taken a cab. It’s the first time I’ve taken the streetcar from here. (I should have taken a cab.) I don’t mind the rain today, I’m at The Spoke Club for Disaronno’s Mixing Star competition. (Toronto round of the event I was in Vancouver for the other day.) This one will be fun as the PR team is here and I know way more TO media than Vancouver. Follow the event on Twitter @DisaronnoCanada, it’s me behind the brand today. Check out this beautiful sunrise I saw this morning from the bedroom window. Forget the rain, I had a bright start to the day! Sending sunshine your way too 🙂 Love, CASIE * title quote from Kwame

THIS?

I’m gearing up to start shooting the new season of THIS: The Hot Internet Show on Coral TV. We’ve been signed on  as a partner by Kin Community, THE LARGEST LIFESTYLE CHANNEL ON YOUTUBE, so, I need to step up my game here. One of their partners is THE ELLEN SHOW. Sorry for yelling, this is all very exciting.  I met some od the team from NY last night and they are just lovely. I’m wondering what you might like to see on THIS? The show is co-produced by me and I’ve got the freedom to be creative and plan episodes. In the past I’ve covered events, tech apps, gadgets, travel accessories, and summer accessories. I was thinking about doing some things with a tech-style theme and more around blogging (since that’s my expertise!) I’d love to get any ideas from YOU! If you don’t want to comment or Tweet me shoot an email to coraltv @ casiestewart.com. Some of my old eps below.

Payless Summer Preview Sale w/ Savings from CAA

I’ve been biking heaps since the weather has FINALLY warmed up. One of my fav things this time of year is shopping for new spring things! As I was browsing the CAA website  last week I was pleasantly surprised to see I can save 10% at Payless with my membership! I like shoes. Actually, I love shoes! Each summer I wear heaps of flat shoes and often wear them out from all my walking, biking, concerts, and activities. So, affordable little flats are perfect. Plus, a girl can never have too many shoes! I went to the Payless store located conveniently across from the Eaton Centre on Yonge Street. There are over 40 stores in the GTA and you can also order online. There’s heaps of shoes for men, women, and kids, with all kinds of accessories. You’ll save 10% if you show your CAA card when making a purchase.  Plus, their Summer Preview Sale is on now! I’m super impressed with all the life-side assistance savings from CAA. I’ve had my membership for about 3 months and already saved more having it than the cost of the membership. Remember my trip to Boston? Next on my list is a movie date and dinner where I use my CAA card to impress my BF with my savvy savings. Had lunch with Mum and Dad last week and they BOTH recently renewed their memberships. We’re a CAA family!  To see all the life-side assistance savings from CAA visit caasco.com or check them out on Facebook and Twitter. They have a blog too! Have an awesome day! <3 CASIE

Real and Imagined

Got sent an advanced uncorrected proof from Simon & Schuster Canada. Thank you! Can’t wait to start it today, deep in the forest woods of Muskoka. I absolutely LOVE getting books in advance. Something so magical about it. We spent heaps of time at the library as kids. Summer reading club FTW.  Thanks Mum for that. YOU ARE THE BEST MUM! Got to have lunch with her and Dad with my sister this week for my birthday. Prettyyyyy awesome. Love you guys! Just watched Beauty and the Beast on VHS. I forgot he gave her the massive library. I love that library. And the dress. Belle is my fav Disney Princess. (You have one too, don’t lie to yourself now!) It’s kinda cold and gloomy up here this weekend but that’s perfect for writng so I don’t mind one bit. Enjoy the day 🙂 CASIE

Peter Shankman at TEDx Times Square

I originally shared this on the Pulp & Fiber blog at work yesterday. I saw a tweet from Peter Shankman with this video from his talk at TEDx Times Square in New York last month. This 15 minutes will give you a a laugh and make you think about the importance of amazing customer service and how it relates to social media in business. He tells you how to get the audience you want by taking care of the audience you have. He’s all about creating great content and sharing things that are awesome. You can follow Peter on Twitter at @petershankman and there’s a good chance if you tweet him, he’ll tweet you back. Peter is a broadcaster, an advistor to NASA, an Ironman, a skydiver, a social media star, and an all around great guy. I’ve been following Peter for a few years now and he is definitely someone I enjoy following and learning from. We’ve never met in person but we’re friends on Twitter and Facebook and I’d call him a friend. He wished me happy birthday this week too. Hey @casiestewart …Happy birthday! 🙂 — Peter Shankman (@petershankman) May 8, 2013

Happy Birthday to Me!

It’s my birthday! Yahooo. I don’t like to make that big of a deal, I celebrate myself and make the most of each day all year round. I just wanna hang out with my friends and eat some good food. My love got me this beauty ukulele and I can’t wait to sit in the park or the dock and play it. I’ve got a few chords down and I’ll be playing ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’ in no time. Have a dinner planned with a bunch of my besties after work. Mum and Dad are in town and will be stopping by the office at some point. Can’t wait to hug them both! Thanks for the kind words and warm wishes. Love you! <3 CASIE
