On Saturday the Army of Sass is hosting a pin-up picnic! I can’t wait. Been trying to decide on an outfit and there’s just so much to pick from. It’s gonna be cute and in Bellwoods if you wanna pass by. Details on Facebook.
ALSO, our next show is THROWBACK: 80s & 90s and it’s seriously totally awesome. Pop June 6th & 13th (we have 2 shows) in your iCal and I’ll have a link for tickets any day now.
As you might know, I’m quite the expert in being a zombie, or at least dressing like one! Well, my skills in zombiesm have paid off! Over the next three weeks I’ve teamed up with shomi to deliver you some tips on how to survive as a zombie amongst a world of humans.
The new 13-part one-hour drama, iZombie (from the brains that brought you Veronica Mars) is now available to Canadians, exclusively on shomi.
I think you’ll enjoy my take on how to survive among the living with tips from the Zombie Guide. This week we start with Chapter 1, Social Behaviour.
Some notes on the above tips from my professional experience as someone who has taken about 10,000 selfies. In order to appear extra human, take selfie in any public space. Stop, drop, selfie anywhere and everywhere. Especially in the middle of a busy sidewalk, at the mall, just be careful not to selfie while crossing the street. You might die again. Another tip is to add a filter, or even double filter to make yourself look less dead. I personally like, Rise, Lo-Fi, and Valencia in Instagram to add a bit of extra brightness.
Here you see happy Zombie girl in the grocery store. Smiling like she’s ALIIIIIIVE.
Take a peek at the trailer for iZombie below and get a free 30-day trial here. I’ll be sharing more tips from my experience as a zombie over the next three weeks. Follow along on Twitter and Instagram with the hashtags #shomi #TheZombiesGuide.
Stay safe out there and use your BRAIIIIIIIINS!

I’m sure by now you are more than aware I was at the cottage this weekend.
Hopefully you never tire of lake life photos and scenery. Here’s a few pix before I come back later today and add stories.
Aaaaaand, we’re back! Will update this later!

As you may know from the news, there’s lots of talk about Uber around the world and especially in Toronto. Last week I went to the rally at city hall with my friend to show support for Uber & UberX (non-taxi people doing pickups) with heaps of other riders and drivers.
When I ran to dance class from the 4th car I left my wallet in the car. I didn’t realize till after dance. This was after frantically tearing my bag apart and scouring the studio. I sent a DM (private message on Twitter) to @UberCanada and asked if they could help. It was 10:36pm.
By 10:42, my wallet was found and Uber Canada text me a contact number for my UberX driver who had my little wallet. I rung him and arranged it to be dropped off at my HOUSE.
Have you ever left something in a taxi? It’s basically a lost cause. I lost a wallet and an iPhone last year and there was no way to track down the driver or car. With Uber, my stuff was safe and sound with the driver and back to within an hour of realizing it was missing.
There’s a bunch of things I really love about Uber (especially UberX) and it’s that drivers are never on the phone, cars are clean, and they’re generally really nice. Also the following list that you will not find with a traditional or Beck taxi.
I wanted to share this experience because Uber gets a bad wrap from some people out there but if you look at the taxi industry, it’s about TIME it got up to speed. I’m glad we have a mayor that supports the service and I hope that Uber is here to STAY!

Friday was my 33rd birthday and I had an awesome day. I didn’t want to have a huge night out or wake up feeling groggy, true sign of getting older I guess. I’m feeling really happy and excited about where I am in my life. Being in a good place gives you reason to welcome being a year older with open arms.
On Friday I had margaritas and snacks on the Valdez patio with a bunch of my BFFs. They have a range of cool seating which is a popular choice for wooden garden furniture, so it made it a great place to sit and chat away for hours. The BBQ there is open till 3pm and the food is AWESOME. Huge thanks to Cameron (Untitled&Co) for snapping pix of us girls. We had a blast! So many laughs.
Have a ton of photos on my phone too. The sunshine on Valdez patio is perfect 2pm+ for afternoon drinks and tanning. Love these girls so much, L-R Lauren, Maria, Carla.
Cam, designer owner of Untitled&Co, you should check them out at untitledandco.com.
Charmaine just moved here from LA, creep her IG, she’s a babe.
Lauren + Chloe (the other half of Untitled&Co!)
Perfect SUN! 
Later in the evening Sean picked up an amazing Mexican dinner and we ate it at Cherry Beach watching the sunset. It was perfect.
Thanks all for the birthday wishes. I’m excited for all the things the next year will bring!

I recently did an interview/chat on the 416 Show w/ Chris Jones. The show is usually mostly tech so we talked about all kinds of things about blogging, social media, and Toronto. Mentioned that Deadmau5 things with Tim Hortons, the Twitter party, GenYTO, how Twitter’s evolved, smoking on patios, and more.
I’m listening to it as I type this and I think you’ll really like it. You’ll laugh a little. If you’re at the office , throw in your headphones and listen while you work.
Yesterday I on set for a full day shooting 2 commercials that you’ll be able to see very soon. I’m working with MD Media again on a couple ads that will be YouTube pre-rolls so if you see my face in the first 3 seconds, don’t skip!
I absolutely love being on location, having my makeup done etc. Worked with a great MUA named Julie, she also had a sweet, slightly French accent. Thanks girl!
My first look was very casual and natural.
The second was when things got really fun. Took off most the makeup, you can see I got a bit of a tan this weekend.
Then we applied Triumph & Distaster volcanic ash face mask scrub.
This stuff smells amazing and it’s from New Zealand!! I was sent it a few weeks back but hadn’t tried it. You can now find it in Canada.
We were shooting at this great place in Rosedale that backed onto a forest. The birds were chirping away all day, loved it.
Looking forward to laughing and probably being a bit embarrassed when these come out. I’m always a little nervous/excited for new on camera projects!

Monday I started bright and early (crack of dawn 6am!) with this great group of ladies for a Nike Training Session. Hosted by Sidewalk Hustle and taught by Nike Master Trainer Eva Redpath, it took place at Malaparte inside the TIFF Bell Lightbox.
I really loved the workout and didn’t mind getting up at 5:15 but today I am hurting. Omg. My hamstrings, arms, glutes, it was a total body workout. THANKS EVA!
We’re training as a group for the next few weeks and although I’m sore today, can’t wait for our next session.
We got hooked up with matching shoes and I totally love them. I don’t usually wear runners but these flashy little guys will be making rotation in my wardrobe.
They’re the Nike Free 5.0 w/ flywire and motion control, they’re also super light.
After work yesterday I went for a 45 min bike ride and I really don’t think that was the best idea. Getting back on the bike after mine was stolen last year has been great for then legs and arms.
Taking it easy today and giving myself and extra hour of sleep. Here’s a great quote I saw over the weekend. Soar don’t settle.
I may not be training for any of the 10K races or marathons but I AM training for the marathon of life. Here’s to a great week!

Made it to the nest! Last night Twitter Canada had a ‘nest warming’ party at their brand new office located in Toronto’s King West.
They invited a small-ish group of Twitteratti (old school Twitter slang for influencers), agency folks, media, and sales people to check out the new digs, connect over drinks, snacks, and of course TWEET.
Pretty much anything that could be Twitterized, was. They had Twitter pillows, water, soap, and even a toaster that puts the Twitter bird on your bread.
Brendan Canning from Broken Social Scene was on the decks. Loved his old school beats.
There’s lots of nice art on the walls. I was especially drawn to this, it’s an illustration of how the new Twitter logo was created.
The original Twitter bird was designed by Simon Oxley and I’ve got a tattoo that looks really similar. 
Carol Zara and I had a few laughs visiting all the different rooms that were set up with reminders of special Twitter moments and notable users.
THEY HAVE THE DRESS!
Twitter has a group of Vine Magicians, what a cool job! See our Vine here.
Was great to see these two, Abby Ho and I used to work together back in the MuchMusic/MTV days. We used to go to Tweetups ALL THE TIME back in the day, circa 2009/2010.
Thanks Twitter for a nice evening. It was great to check out the new office.
As you can see I made myself right at home!
Follow me on Twitter here! If you’re not on Twitter you can still pop in and check out my Tweets at twitter.com/casiestewart.
Have an awesome day! 💘🙌🏼

Hi hi, yesterday was a great day. Today is jam packed one but it’s doing things I love so it doesn’t really feel like work.
This is a short update for now b/c I am heading to a shoot I’m directing for a client campaign! See Twitter for updates and Snapchat for the BTS! (Behind the Scenes, mum!)
Check out this fine group of 1188 + Occupied VR + CFC crew from HotDocs last week.
Partied with deadmau5 last night. Thanks Tim Hortons!
Got to watch/take part in a magic show.
The food was really good. That’s deadmau5 getting some steak before me. I saw opted for the no-bread option so I did that too.
Here’s wishing you a wonderful day. It’s already SOOOOOO NICE OUT. Take the sunshine wherever you go! ☀️
