#LoveThisCity: Priceless Toronto w/ @MasterCardCA

To celebrate summer and help people in TO experience more of what our great city has to offer, Priceless Toronto is offering MasterCard holders a whole pile of awesome offers and discounts.  I took them up on on offer to see a show at Mirvish AND visit the Science of Rock n’ Roll at the Ontario Science Centre. Let me tell you, after seeing to Return to Grace, my love for Elvis has grown by about a million. I’ve always loved him and we used to listen to his music at my house as a kid. The show chronicled the life and times of Elvis Presley and the role of Elvis was played by Steve Michaels, a Toronto born Elvis impersonator who is one of the world’s best. The show finished with my fav Elvis of all, the 1973 concert Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii. It was like I was seeing the king himself, I swooned and sang along till the curtain closed. I also became obsessed with being this Elvis for Halloween for the next 24hours. Seeing a theatre show at Mirvish carries an element of elegance for me. I remember Dad taking us to see ‘Crazy for You’ when I was little. We got dressed up and had snacks at intermission. I highly recommend checking out Toronto’s vast array of musicals that roll through the city. Make sure you check out offers from MasterCard here before ordering tickets. There’s a ton of offers for you to eat, play, shop and stay at some of Toronto’s greatest attractions including The Ritz Carlton, Canada’s Wonderland, Toronto Zoo, CN Tower, Royal Ontario Museum, Legoland, Ontario Science Centre, Harbourfront Centre and more. My second adventure was to check out The Science of Rock n’ Roll at The Ontario Science Centre. Sean, Emily, and I played drums, guitar, and hit the mic…

#Throwback: I’d Like to Skydive Again

Two years ago today I jumped out of a perfectly good plane for my first every skydive. It was SO MUCH FUN! I was in Boston visiting friends for the weekend and decided this was a great idea. I would 100000% do it again. I’m off to Boston this weekend to visit those same peeps and this is a great throwback reminder of an awesome weekend. I had a 55 second free-fall before landing. Exhilarating! (Jump is at 2:12) In 1996 I wrote a book called ‘Jeans’ and today I remember a line from it ‘You’ve never to old to play in leaves or snow’.  Remember that! You’re the director of your movie, make it an action, a comedy, or a romance! YOLO! <3 CASIE * original post w/ comic strip can be found here!

Won’t You Let Me Put Flowers in Your Beard?

There’s a nice display in this gallery on Queen West near Strachan. Take a peek if you’re cruising the hood. I tried to convince  my beardy BF to let me do this to his beard this weekend. If you look up ‘flower beard’ on tumblr there are so many cute beardy boys w/ flowers in their beards. I guess we have the flower crown trend to thanks for these dreamboats! Rise of the Beard Garden – Daily Mail, UK Look at this face! Would it not look so dreamy with flowers? He’s going to see this and be like, “YOU ARE CRAZY. NO FLOWER BEARD!” hahaha. Love you! This is my latest phone case creation w/ Nuvango (my work formerly known as GelaSkins). I got a friend to send me a sample of marble and have made the design available for anyone to order.  I created a gorgeous skin for my Macbook that looks like marble too. It’s pretty! Where do all the deleted selfies go? I often take a few to get a good one then delete the handful of garbage ones where one eye is closed or my hair is blowing ratchet in the wind. This selfie is one I was gonna delete until I started thinking about a selfie graveyard and then I purchased deletedselfies.ca. That’s all for now. Hope you are enjoying the day. I’m off to the spa for a massage! <3 CASIE

#Muskoka: Life For Me Is A Riverboat Fantasy

Had a great weekend lounging at the cottage up in Muskoka. The weather was a bit cloudy on Saturday when we arrived but it was warm and I have no complaints! Boat is in the water so we got to do some cruisin’ around the lake. I’ve had David Wilcox ‘Riverboat Fantasy’ stuck in my head since yesterday. It always comes on 104.1 The Dock when we’re driving in cottage country. If you’re looking for some good oldies and classic rock, you can listen online here. My activities on Sunday included floating, reading, snacking, and sun tanning. Magazine reading has me thinking about layering. I know Autumn is a while away but fall fashion is just so dreamy. Brock & Jenn came up for the weekend and we are all obsessed w/ Doritos Roulette. They’re so freaking good! I’ve ordered two of these donut floaties and they should arrive before the long weekend. Squeeee! Watchin’the sun go down… Hope your weekend was great too. Next weekend Sean and I are heading to Boston and the weekend after that is a long one. Yeahooooooo! I can’t get enough summer, I love it so much. This week is supposed to be nice and HOT! <3 CASIE
