Took my coat off to snap some pix and those dang birds were flocking above my head.

Added some cats as protection. You suck birds!

This is me ice dancing. It’s super slippery out there!

Oh hey Monday! Finally most of the ice has melted so I didn’t have to skate to work.

Wearing pink jeans from Joe Fresh and totally forgot I had these old Jeffrey Campbell sneaker wedges. Oh man, this weather has me dreaming of Spring big time. Really wish I still had by bike. Hoping to pick up a new one in the next couple weeks. Also hoping to book a winter vacation w/ Sean somewhere warm and romantic.

Antiquing in the Junction

Antiquing in the Junction

20140113-101413.jpg

This weekend I went to some of the antique shops at Dundas + Keele. If you are in the market for a typewriter, vintage jewellery, or furniture, this is the place for YOU. I moved to this area in the summer and I’ve finally started to explore it. There are heaps of neat little shops around here. One of the best shops is called ‘The Art of Demolotion’, heaps of neat things piled up in the tiny little store. I love going antique furniture shopping, it’s so exciting since you never know what you’re going to find! I’ve always loved antique furniture since I was a child. There’s something so special about buying an old piece of furniture. My friend recently moved house and decided to buy some antique furniture from somewhere like antiquesworld.co.uk. It looks fantastic in her house and I’m tempted to buy some for myself too!!

I didn’t get anything this time but once I tidy up our spare room I’ll be looking to redesign it with some great vintage treasures!

My Harvey’s Burger is Official, Officially Delicious ©

I’ve been a fan of Harvey’s my whole life. Dad used to take us there for lunch all the time. It was one of those father/daughter things we’d get up to after a walk around the mall or a visit to check out electronics at Future Shop. If you are from the USA or anywhere else, you probably don’t know what Harvey’s is but trust me, they make great burgers.

THE CASIE STEWART BURGER!

Not too long ago I made my fav burger at myharveyscopyright.com. Shortly after, they created this Vine of my burger and THEN sent me a t-shirt with my burger on it. So freaking awesome.

This weekend I went to Harvey’s and got my burger. Unfortunately mine turned out WAY messier than theirs. Clearly I’m no expert at making beautiful burgers! Wanted to share this campaign with you as I thought it’s a great use of social media. Props to Stephanie Fusco at Proximity for including me in the fun.

Ok, now I’m hungry again!

It seemed like just another Thursday but it was more than that. Yesterday I had a meeting that was planned two months earlier and the outcome was fantastic!  I accomplished something I’ve been working towards for ages.

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.

Soon as my profile is live I’ll share more details. I was reminded once again that you really CAN achieve anything you set your mind to. You must believe you can do it and have the courage and confidence to make it happen.

I’ve gotta set some big goals for this year and the next 5 because over the past few years I’ve crossed so many things off my life list. I’m super excited to get working on my new secret project this weekend.

Me at my desk yesterday. Wearing hearts again today too. ♥

 With love + light,

Urgh, I’m sick of winter. This is a face of a someone who is ready for a dose of SUNSHINE! Time to start planning vacation.

A pile of birds flew out from under the bridge as this photo was taken. Thank goodness none of them ‘got me’. I know apparently ‘good luck’ but getting shat on by a bird en route to the office doesn’t not sounds like fun to me.

Skated again yesterday. Longing for days with bright sunshine and green grass. Bike rides too. I have real love for bike rides.

That’s all for now. Ok bye!

Don’t Drop the Spirit Stick

Don’t Drop the Spirit Stick

Look inside for some motivation. THIS IS YOUR LIFE: Don't Drop the Spirit Stick! via @casiestewart

Don’t let the cold stop you. Don’t let the rain stop you. Don’t let doubt stop you. Don’t let anyone or anything stop you. Do what you want. Follow your dreams. Be the light. Find the light. Bring the light. Bring it in general. Follow your dreams. Make them reality. Your thoughts become things. They are real. If you can see it and you  believe it you can achieve it. You can do anything you put your mind to. It’s true.

If I can, you can. We all can.

Go make it happen.

This is the ice I (shoe) skated to work on for the past two days. SUPER slippery and dangerous.

Today I was back in the office after the great sickness and guess what? New MONITOR! Omg, it’s amazing. I can multitask like never before. The other thing that a new fancy big monitor is great for… DESK SELFIES! Got a new mouse too which is also lovely. It’s been a month at the new job and I’m really happy.

Always me chuckle that’s it’s called ‘It’s All About Me’ because Mum used to give me the gears that I was ‘all about me’, well Ma, it paid off! Look at me now! Mooohaha. She comes back from NZ today, can’t wait to give her the news. I have laurel leaves guys, me. Gah.

Enjoy the day, stay warm out there!

Took my GoPro. Otherwise slept heaps trying to kick the cold. This is the Wallace Ave. bridge. There are love locks on it. The walk was pretty icy.

That’s all I have to say about that.

Who Hates Having a Cold? We do!

Who Hates Having a Cold? We do!

Today I left the house to go to the movies. First real outing in a while because I have had a cold since before New Years. I honestly can’t even deal, it’s horrible.

20140105-210006.jpg

Saw Wolf of Wall Street, loved it. It’s pretty long though, be prepared. Leo is such a fantastic actor. No spoilers so not saying anything more.

Basically my living room is this. It’s gross. I feel disgusting. Have watched so much Netflix/iTunes over the past two weeks. Take any recos if you have them!

Day was good. Started with brunch. Got my hair done. Went for a hot tub at my old place. Took my GoPro everywhere I went. Had sushi for dinner. Spending the rest of the night at home watching movies. Still have no voice. Gonna practice being quiet as much as I can. Mum’s still away in New Zealand. Going to see Wolf of Wall Street tomorrow with friends. Dreaming of summer and vacation vacation, not work vacation but a real holiday. It’s been ages since I had one of those. I should clean the house tomorrow. Sometimes it’s hard to find the motivation y’know?  Watching The Iceman with Michael Shannon, love him. Lots of updates on tumblr and Pinterest if you’re in the mood for browsing. Hope your weekend is good. ♥
