Brock McLaughlin just posted this AWESOME pic. Love it.

It’s like meggggggga brrrr outside today. Took this with my new Motorola phone,  it takes pretty fancy photos (5 megapix).

In other news, check out THIS Hip & Urban Girl of the Week, MOI!

won a pink buddha for good debating. #swmt

Say hi to the babes, Keri, Brown Barbie, O’Nizz.

Oh you know who ate a few of these. (Clue: starts with CASE, ends in EEEEE)

Is social media more art or science? I debated ART.

To me, social media IS an art. Sure you can get ‘formula’ for peak times to tweet or try to follow a ‘method’ but that doesn’t mean shit if you’re not creative. If you’re not artistic with your message (whatever or wherever it you’re selling it), people ain’t gonna buy it. You will be more successful in this new industry if you take risks and be artistic. Everything I have done/do to build my brand is driven by creativity.

Debate winner: Rob Campbell aka @smojoe!

We didn’t win the mass debate but we DO have cool blogs.

michaelnus.com | this girl| keriblog.com

I’m talking about #roboTO at this very moment. Look at that passion. It’s a party coming up that I started so we can all make robot costumes and have fun. Stay tuned. That’s how I won the final round of the debate.

There was a creepy dude at the end that hijacked the whole conversation and mentioned 3D p0rn. So weird. Mugshot here.

Sabrina looked at me from across the room and said “I want the pink buddha”. Then I won it for her. She derves it. He’s at our house laughing right now.

This is so very cute, girl had a nice outfit. Proud of you Moffitt, brother.

Look at everyone smiling in this photo. That’s good stuff right there.

Then we went home and had a girl party.

In other news, THIS pretty much makes MY LIFE. Click to open this in a new window and prepare to be amazed.

i’m in the wall street journal.

Read it here. This is a summary of what it’s about:

social media week has started and i am social me.

Heard some people from Roots Canada talk about social media this morning. It was a great talk for retailers or brands who are just getting into social media.

Keri & I didn’t stay too long. I get antsy and have a hard time listening to a topic when I have so much to say about it. Tonight it’s a different story, I get to have a say.

I’m in a debate on brands & social media at the Mill Street Brewery. The event is hosted by Wikibrands a book written by my friend Sean Moffit and Mike Dover about “Reinventing Your Company in a Customer-Driven Marketplace”. They like Wordles just like me.

Who knew social media would take over in all kinds of industries around the world? It’s amazing.  I talking about love brands, social media & the people behind them. This is the second year of Social Media Week & you can see the schedule for Toronto here. This week for me is full of events & people talking about something I love, heaps of familiar faces and lots of new people.

Keri & I cruised the downtown underground this afternoon and rode the streetcar. I got a My Little Pony in my Happy Meal at McDonalds too. I’ve been eating way less maccas BTW 🙂

Did you know Toronto’s streetcar system is one of the few in North America still operating along street-running tracks and has been operating since the mid-19th century. We are a cool city.

AND, did you know that VW commercial I posted yesterday from the Super Bowl. Guess who the little kid is? Victoria & JT’s son Reed from the Young & the Restless.  You know how much I love that show. What a cute kid. Here’s a snip-it:

Ok, clock is ticking, time for me to get ready for the Wikibrands event. What does a doll wear to a mass debate? ( hehe, I am 12)

If you see me say HI. If you don’t see me there, hope you have a good night.

I Touched The Sky.

I looked at all the things on lifeexperiences.ca and really wanted to do something I’d never done before…so I did!

I went on a helicopter tour of downtown Toronto!

I was nervous for a few minutes but I can’t even imagine chickening out, I live for that nervous excited feeling. Here we go…

So pretty our city, even with a blanket of snow. I reckon doing this in the summer would be just delightful. All the trees, the lake and water looking so nice.

I can see my house! Was so neat to fly over downtown, take it all in from a different perspective.  We got pretty close to the CN Tower too. I was told they often get people planning proposals, especially this time of year.

Lifeexperiences.ca has so heaps of adventures to pick from ex. drive a race car, visit a castle,  massages, spa packages, golf, wine tasting and beer school. You can even book a segway and be like Justin Bieber. (Please tell me if you do that! haha)

I think this kinda thing makes a great gift. All the stuff ranges from under $50 to ultimate experiences like attending Cannes Film Fest worth over $10,000. I gave away a $50 voucher in December. I’m sure you’ve seen the gift cards at Shoppers or Walmart,  and perhaps will pick one up when shopping for your valentine.  😉 *cough, cough*

Hey look up, that’s where I was flying!

Today marks the first day of Social Media Week around the world. I’m up and off to the Ted Rogers School of Management for The Evolving Role of Social Media in Retail.

Have an awesome day!

a long, long time ago i can still remember how that music used to make me smile

Watched the Banksy movie last night, Exit Through The Gift Shop. What an awesome documentary that was. The ‘hoax’ controversy that surrounds it makes it that much more interesting to investigate online. I love that stuff.

One day you will watch my documentary and wonder if it’s true. I will brainwash you.

Thinking about making a stencil and talking my own art to the streets. You will know if you see it when you do. You know me.

These photos are all from tumblr people I follow, they are from the internet, that’s their source. I don’t own them, know them. Reblogged and passed on through bloggers around the world.

They all reminded me of summer, some place warm with someone special. Daydreaming.

You will never be younger than you are right now. Now. Now. Now, now now now…

I want one of these for my birthday please. Perhaps a tattoo so I can make it real?

update: how many commercials during the #superbowl will have #socialmedia on screen?

Here are some of the commercial gettin’ hype for today’s game on Mashable. I’m off to fly around the city in a helicopter before planting myself on a couch/at a bar to watch the commercials & halftime show for today’s game.

Rumor has it Go Daddy (my host!) is bringing some sexy. Doritos always have something creative. I reckon Coors Lite or Bud Lite will have something funny. This was JUST released a couple hours ago.

Ha! Hate when this happens…. guess we’ll find out WHAT happened.

This one surely will NOT make it to Canada. Hate that we get stuffed on the good ads. Where can Canada peeps watch the US version of the big ‘Bowl?

How many commercials during the super bowl will have social media accounts on screen?

As a percentage. Includes logo (twitter/facebook), audio or links. Take your bets. Winner wins something awesome. 😛

yesterday on twitter, this happened:

2011 Motionball Gala for the Special Olympics

Went to the annual Motionball Gala with my sis last night. It was all young peeps, open bar and fancy dresses. Jenie wore Mum’s vintage dress, so lovely.

Complete with a Calvin Klein underwear fashion show.

Mmm chocolate fondue.

Chocolate coffee beans are my fav…that and vodka.

So many babes. You betta recognize Wes, Jay & Julio!

Jay Strut & that babe Anton from the TFC.

Babel moved to LA. No more CP24. Gah, I look like a GHOST!

The lovely Miss Liz Trinnear from MuchMusic

Darling Nicole from MTV Ok srsly, shoes off time.

Drink up lil’ girlies

Julian Brass from Notable TV

We had bout 2,000 of these guys…

hiyaaaaa, PEACE!

Ok, byeeeeeeeeee.

I’m off to the gym. Let’s hope I don’t puke today. Omg 😛

beginning of a really fit romance w/ @reebokcanada?

I’ve been on a health kick for the last month and honestly, it has me feeling so great. I’ve got another Re-Energizer session at The Motion Room tomorrow afternoon. Work it!

Lucky for me, I’ll be dressed in stylish gear that is functional too. Reebok Canada hooked me up with their Easy Tone apparel including kicks, pants & long bra top. THANK YOU!

Friends, meet Julie! She’s a trainer/spokesperson for Reebok Canada (and a babe!)

The Easy Tone shoes are those cool ones from TV with balance ball inspired technology. They actually strengthen and tone muscles when you wear them. Uh, you mean I can work out even more without working harder? I AM SO IN!

This is me w/ Andy before I interview Julie. I reckon I look like a fitness instructor. I’d be a great teacher! 🙂

These shoes are also part of the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade. So, not only are you getting in shape by wearing them, you are supporting a good cause.

NBD just gettin’ jacked up…

Tonight I’ve got a meeting w/ Kingi from Peach Berserk. We’re designing my dress for the Have a Heart auction next week. (Please come bid on me!) I’ve drawn some sketches & can’t wait.

After that, Jenie is my date to the Motion Ball Gala at the Carlu. Thanks Rightsleeve!

Ok, bye! TGIF,

her eyes make the stars look like they’re not shining

This week I got these darling little earings from Charity Diamonds. They’re 10k gold studs covered with Swarovski crystals and come in a bunch of colours. I chose black, cute eh?

Charity Diamonds a Canadian jewelry company that sells conflict free jewelry and donates 50% of it’s proceeds to charity. Pretty rad considering diamonds are a girls best friend and giving to charity makes it that much better.

Lucky for YOU they are giving away a couple pairs of Swarovski crystal Firecracker earrings ($79) before Valentine’s day.

To enter:

Tweet @sparkleforlife & hashtag #CharityDiamonds with the color you want to win!

Shine on my friends!

Still in love with this song BTW…

there is no time like now to create the life you want

Gettin’ some ish done today. Woke up feleing kinda urgh but then I though about all the things I have to be happy about and was like “WTF Casie? Snap out of it.” There’s no need for that kinda ‘wah wah’ attitude around here. (That goes for YOU too, ok!)  This is one of my fav songs to listen to when walking around and especially on the subway. It’s long and calming, really good thinking music. Too bad it’s not on itunes. Doh!

Isn’t it incredible that someone or something can make you feel able to achieve anything? It’s like the whole world is supporting you; the world is waiting for you. Someone believing in you, that feeling right there is incredible.  It is all you need. I hope you feelin’ the love today.

these things shoot out from in my head, my ideas run like flow

True to my goal, I’ve been going through my old hard drives and digging up heaps of files containing essays, poerty, prose and more. Makes me feel really excited. I love writing and I’m doing more, well, more than just ‘blogging’ which has kinda taken over my time. I’ve been telling myself I want to publish another book for way too long now and I am derermined to do it. That’s why I’m telling YOU.

You can be part of it by asking, reminding me, making me think about it. It’s going to be a second anthology of poetry, prose & short stories. All pieces I’ve wrtten from the last 10 years. There will be some photos and it will be nice looking. My goal is to do it because I don’t want life to pass by with all this written work locked in digtal form within a metal box. I want to have them bound together in my hand. It would be a shame if they never got to feel your eyes and touch your heart, they like the attention.

The title of this post is this one:

I don’t know, I don’t know?
My ideas run like flow!
Why these things come out my head?
These things for long have been dead.
The water ran so quickly then,
And to life they come once again!

Saw my boyfriend yesterday. Was out and about around downtown and ran into him on the street.  Love when he calls me ‘doll’.

I love this cover by these two. They’ve got such a great sound.

Hadn’t been to the Eaton Centre in ages. Saw a few of these around: Are people using FB checkin’ that much? I guess so.

Apple store self promo as usual haha.

Red hair mannequins, how cute

This is the phone I am giving away next week. I’ve got more than one and they are from Motorola Canada on the Rogers Network. Value $424. Good steal there.

Canoe see it?

Got some serious hookups from Reebok Canada yesterday and took my new Easy Tone kicks for a stroll. Pretty comfy & nice. Interviewed a fitness model & trainer and that will be up soon on “interview w/ casie“.

Found this one the ground. Hung it on a tree for everyone to see.

Was behind this dude at Sobeys. He had a window washing gear so I reckon he’s squeegie kid. Funny enough, he has no clue now to spell ‘anal sextherapy’. Is that even a thing? haha

Going through these today and diggin up oldies from the vault. So much brain power and years of memories.

Got this new parfum in the mail from Givenchy Canada this week. Smells pretty good. Claw is necklace pendant from Nick Von K a New Zealand designer. I picked it out during NZFW.

Snow last night from my window, was hoping to wake up to a winter wonderland

Alas, there was hardly any snow down there.

Did you see Rob Ford declared it official Bob Marley Day on Sunday? He did. Toronto is a pretty forward thinking city in terms of decriminalization, nice to see the Mayor decriminalize Mr. Marley. My Tweets ended up in this little video about it.

wanna escape this cold to CALIFORNIA? my pleasure!

Ladies & gents, by this time it’s not news to anyone that Virgin America is leaving Toronto April 6th. We’re sad to see them go but that doesn’t mean there’s not still time for you to to have your own Virgin experience in the sky.

We’re about to get a MAYJAH in storm with extreme cold & GASP…up to 30cm of snow. Doesn’t this Cali weather look damn good now?

I HAZ FLIGHT GIVEAWAYS FOR YOU!

We’ve got a couple flights to give away during Social Media Week (Feb. 7-11) including the GENYTO party on Feb. 11th. Get your tickets here and make sure you’re there for chance to win a round trip.

I’ve also got a flight giveaway with z-list.com. I’ll be blogging that on my zlist blog later this week but in the mean time you can sign up right hurre.

Remember Toronto, Sir RB gave me the official thumbs up and I will always be your Provocateur. Have a great day. I’m off to an audition then to the GYM! 🙂

i like the way you work it out

Morning everyone? Are ya ready? Let’s go.

We are gonna work-it-work-it.

myspace graphic

Pushup skillz, I got em. Do you?

Oh yes please and thank you for making me do this. Hurts but a good hurt 😉

Work it.

When I’m down and I feel like giving up I think again, I whip my hair back and forth like this. Work it.

This all makes me look so fit nevermind the next post where I have a drink in every photo. Having a balance is very important too kids but most important is a-t-t-i-t-u-d-e.

NBD just air cycling. You’re welcome.

Burpees you know what those are? I had no clue. That’s what we’re all doing here.

The best thing for me about going to a gym where you are instructed and told what to be IS BEING instructed and told. I was a dancer growing up and I hated gym class in highschool.  I never really knew how/felt comfortable working out on my own. I feel much better about the whole thing now.

How cute is this little angel April?

Known April for a while now. We met that one summer (1997?) I did American Pie Beta House. Look at me here hangin’ with the Beta boys on set. I hated that outit, had to wear it for a multiple days shooting a really long scene. That’s my sis and Ish in the front.

If you listen to happy upbeat music and mix in some dancing you will have more fun with your workout.

If you dance in your day you will have more fun with your life. Trust me on this, I know.

Workout inspiration/thinspiration is the Bodyrock Babe. Have you SEEN her body? OMG I die. So in shape it’s insane.

This exercise feels like burning. James is a really nice trainer and he put the bars lower just for me cause I’m short so I had to work extra hard. THANKS A LOT! (not kidding!)

Sabrina knows how to work it. Work it girl.

We had a whole convo about NY Fashion Week during the cool down stretching. April is going this week, she’s the cheeky PR girl for Buckler Canada. Cute face.

Talking fashion makes me happy as you can see. Ron Burgundy pose haha.

Ok, this is exhausting. Time for relax. The end.

GOOD WORKOUT!

If any of YOU want to come do the Re-Energizer Bootcamp with ME on Saturday afternoon at 3pm (Feb. 5th) this is your chance. There are four spots, lemme know in the comments & I will email you. Location is Dundas & Windemere, bout 12 min drive from my hood.

Get your booty in gear, get off the couch.

HAPPY MONDAY!

P.S. Check Lauren’s post about the Gino vs Hipster party on Cosmo TV’s blog

this is one store i really need to visit soon ♥

I’m a big fan of Me to We style and have been a huge fan girl of Craig Keilburger since I was 14. I’ve love his passion for making a difference in the world and his determination to make it a reality.

They have this neat collection of original accessories, handcrafted by artisans in Free The Children countries. Each unique piece in the Maasai Collection is sustainably produced and uses as much local supplies as possible. Uh, hello high five!

They’re great things to pick up for your Valentine so you can give someone you love something made with love.  Win-win. You can get online, Whole Foods, Blue Banana in Kensington or at the Me to We store. They’re all cute + affordable too. Omg, my blog is such a love fest! ♥

Penda Love Chain

This piece is inspired by the beaded chains worn by Maasai warriors, who traditionally wear long strands of beads over one arm. Named for the Swahili word for “love”, the two Penda chains—when paired together—symbolize unity between loved ones. As a set with the Maasai Heart Ring – $21.99 or seperately for $10.99

Maasai Heart Ring

Rings are made from leather and glass beads and come in two colours, pink and pewter, in the shape of a heart.

Maasai Heart Key Chain

The Maasai people bead items for each other as an expression of love and appreciation. Price: $12.99 or as a set with the Penda Love Chain – $21.99

Monashee Love Scarf

This is a great thing to have or get for someone, so soft & stretchy.  Every farmer, producer and manufacturer receives a fair wage in order to make it.

Made from 64% viscose from bamboo, 28% organic cotton, 8% spandex. Price: $24.50

There’s a gorgeous beaded necklace that I would love to have on my neck too. OK gym time. K, bye.

yesterday on twitter, this happened:

people are brands too: meet the awesome @curtissantiago

I’m working on a piece about personal branding and I came across this awesome video by Scion Canada. The guy in the video is Curtis Santiago, he is a friend of mine and I always keep my eye on what he’s doing.

Whether it’s painting, making music, his unique style, or positive attitude, he’s someone you want to be around. It’s clear by this video that Scion is embracing the connection they find between their brand and his personal brand. As a creative person who really likes connecting with cool brands, this makes me happy. Enjoy!

The premiere of Life in a Day was last night at Sundance. Remember the youtube video anyone in the world could submit content to in the summer? I was in there somewhere. This video is pretty neat too.

I’ve got a session at The Motion Room this afternoon. Ready to work up a mad sweat. Taking Beans aka @itsbrownbarbie with me. Fun, fun!

“in the least creepiest way… i am most positive i saw you at sneaky dees tonight ahah”

always on her phone this one

i’m planning to do something special for you with darren’s salon because i am nice and i want you to feel happy. we’re sorting out all the deets but you will know about it when we’re done. i’ll give you a clue, it involves you getting your hair did and someone not paying for it. yay!

remember i was telling you about darren being in toronto life’s shopping issue recently? well, guess what? he’s in there again in the bridal issue. great skills.

if you are waiting for colour to change it is a bad idea to go outside. you have to keep your head warm, like this kinda.

this is my fav part, the shave.

stitching came undone on on of my boots. think i can return them? i got them at the docs store last summer. i tweeted about the warranty and someone asked if i got them on the 1990’s. NO, they are new. very funny. haha

ok hair done. off to kensington for a friends comedy show that i ended up missing. probably because i stopped to play here.  i am canadian ex. 1 ice rink.

this is my fav vintage shop in the city, apt. 909 on dundas. i hardly share anything about it because i want to keep you away so i can get all the goodies for myself. no really though.

oh hai again sneaky dee’s. somebody was here…

my hair has a mind of it’s own and that mind likes to PAR-TAY.

look at these studs, we’ve been friends for over ten years, coming up on 15 soon i reckon. bachelor 1 luke, bachelor 2 chris, both eligible entrepreneurs. they are getting hotter with age. if you wanna date them lemme know 😉

i’m not a fan of dark beer but the boys picked so it was 3-1.

guess what mum? yesterday i was recognized TWICE while out doing my daily activities. first, as i was walking into thee spoke club for a meeting by a cute girl and second i got this comment on my dailybooth. lucky for me he’s kinda cute too.

jrphoto88@casiestewart in the least creepiest way.. i am most positive i saw you at sneaky dees tonight ahah”

i have so many of these virgin america cards with my blog & twitter on them. once VX stop flying from YYZ they will become part of toronto history. it is good luck if you find one.

our waiter at sneaky dee’s was so nice. look what is on the very top of the pretty money. i am canadian ex. 2

well, we all know what this means. wahhh.

tonight i am going to good for her with raymi and friends. it’s a sex shop and i have no clue what we are doing. probably pillow fighting or playing with toys all over the store. happy friday ♥

ATTN #TORONTO: @nellabellabrand sample sale FRIDAY!

I just came back from a meeting and stopped by Nella Bella to check out all the stock for tomorrow’s one day sample sale. If you need have a bag obsession, need a new bag or just wanna treat yourself go stop by.

These are some of my fabv Nella Bella babies:

Little guy fits everything, camera, phone and wallet stuff! Tarek nicknamed it the ‘Casie bag’.

The bag this girl has in the photo is one of my most fav treasured things I’ve got. It has travelled all over the world with me and it’s in good shape. If you make it out tomorrow, lemme know what you get! I’d love to see.

This could be yours my friends. Love that flower print one.

I’m off to get my HAIR DID w/ Darren. Woo hoo.

just call me the RE-ENERGIZER bunny

This workout thing is starting to change my life. Who knew I would ever be saying this? It must be a new year or something. Just LOOK at that happy face.

In my most recent trip to The Motion Room I did the Re-Energizer Bootcamp.

I’ve never been a gym-rat. I prefer Gym Bunny anyways. [insert cute smiley face]

Boot camp sessions at TMR are at 6AM (Before Work) LunchTime (12noon) Afternoons (4pm) Late evenings 8pm or pre-arranged scheduling.

It’s fun, you get shown what to do like this:

Then we do it: HUZZAHHHH!!!!!!!

Boot camp is done in a group & the Starter Packages are with personal assessment/direct one-to-one training. After the first two sessions of Boot Camp—you move into a Starter Package.

This seriously turned my arms into burning man the next day but whatever. It’s good.

I am strong!

REALLY HERCULES-HULK HOGAN-ONE-ARM-PUSHUP-STRONG. Beat that.

This is incredibly hard. You have to move your feet back and forth in the stirrup thinger while in a plank. OMG get ready for my abs to bust right out.

This ball has sand in it and is surprisingly heavy. Why am I always smiling? This is supposed to be hard work. Crazy girl.

There’s a bunch of stations we rotate through in 30 sec, 45 sec, 60 sec intervals. By the end you are hitting the floor but you feel awesome. AWESOME!

The sell different sessions in 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 24 weeks. at 2 or 3 x per week. As a scheduled gym, you set/select your timeslots upon purchase. Boot camps also includes an intro session to the starter package and nutrition sessions with their holistic nutritionist.
Hookin’ you RIGHT up to get your body in shape baby.

I whip my hair back and forth. Yeah I do.

The program customization list is long and it’s tailored to each individual—for example—Raymi was on a 4 week “build” in her program over 3 months.

At the end we cool down with some stretching. I am stretching to grow taller.

If you wanna giv’er a go contact The Motion Room:

See ya at the beach! 😉
