OK YES, IT’S COLD!

The weather isn’t so bad if you dress for it. Almost everyone in Canada and a bunch of the USA are all under extreme cold warming. This is the coldest winter we’ve had in 18 years or something.

Wearing the Twiggy + Mickey sweater from Over the Rainbow today (see that post here). Dress is from H&M. Phone case is ‘Mountain View‘ by We Kill You from GelaSkins.

Today I sat down on the couch to take a call and when I did I heard a little jingle in the cushions and found these two babies! $4 find is a pretty good one I say. Gonna pick up a lotto ticket and hope my luck continues. Never know guys, you never know.

I can’t even believe it’d as cold as it is in Toronto right now. It’s -26 Celsius. Canada is even colder than on Mars or the South Pole. Have been sitting on beside this heater at the office all day. haven’t taken off my scarf either. Coffee was nice and warm to start the day. This is my fav cup.

Got my hair cut shorter on New Years Eve and this weekend I’m going back, back, to super blonde. I let it grow out and long for months, now I want it back. Today I spiced it up with pink Colour Bug in it by Kevin Murphy.

Picked up this Unicorn sweater on New Year’s Eve too. If you’ve never stopped by The Store on Queen you deff should. It’s one of my fav shops to find things that are unique and the store owners are simply darling. You’ll love their photos too.

Had an awesome New Year’s Eve with Lauren and the Seans. We had dinner at SoHo House and the food was fantastic. After that we went to the Gillespie bro’s party. Spent the entire first day of the year on the couch with my love watching movies. Ordered all my favs from Magic Oven and got a great sleep.

Excited for a great year full of adventure. Last year was an awesome one and I’m excited for what the next few months will bring. Coming up next is my year in review post!

No Regrets by Gunnarolla on YouTube

No Regrets by Gunnarolla on YouTube

I met Andrew aka Gunnarolla via Twitter when we found out we’d both been chosen to go on the trip to Thailand with Contiki. He is simply amazing and super talented. One of my fav people from the trip for sure. This is us with Sam and Leah on the last night in Thailand making up a song on the spot. It was simply hilarious.

The video below is Andrew’s latest tune. I watched it with joy knowing I was there for a few of the shots. They all move really fast so you might not see me but me and the Internet know I was there!

In other news, Andrew introduced me to a new platform called Subbable where you can support your fav YouTubers. Remember, these peeps are making things to entertain you with their own money, gadgets, and talents (like us bloggers, most the time!). Shout them if you love ’em! I gave some love (aka $$) to Andrew’s profile yesterday and now patiently away the arrival of my Red Box. LOVE YOU MAN!

Travel | Thailand w/ The ContikiThai Crew!

Check out this great vid by my Vancouver buds the Sunday Fundayz. These dudes were so much fun to hang out with in Thailand. They’re the ones doing backflips and splits in my photos.

We crammed heaps of adventure into our 10 days. Now that’s so dang freezing here I’m really wishing I was back in the hot, hot sun. If you love travel, subscribe to the Sunday Fundayz on YouTube, they’re constantly on adventure! They also have a clothing line of which I just ordered a pile of stuff.

Thailand via Instagram: 46 Photos in 15 Seconds

Made this little video using Statigram, an app that allows you to create a video from your Instagram vids. Super great for summarizing trips, special moments, or looking back at the year past. It’s free but for $1.99 you can add your own watermark as I did below.

Stay warm out there,

Blog life: Sometimes I don’t feel like it. #10

Blog life: Sometimes I don’t feel like it. #10

The last couple weeks have been very busy and it’s been a bit ghostly around here. In the last 4 weeks I returned from the trip a lifetime in Thailand, started a new job, and before I knew it the holidays were here. The number of blog posts this month has been significantly lower than normal. Every once in a while I publish a post with this same title, we’re up to 10 in 8 years so, as a daily blogger I think that’s not too bad.

To be honest, having a blog is one of the best things in my life but it can be quite overwhelming at times.

I’m planning a revamp for the new year so wait for it, it’s coming. I just needed a little break. I’m recharging my mental batteries and come January, I’ll be ready to rock.

With love,

CASIE

‘Across the Universe’ by Chris Hadfield and the Wexford Gleeks

‘Across the Universe’ by Chris Hadfield and the Wexford Gleeks

Enjoy this. A friend at CBC Music sent it to me yesterday. This song reminds me of mum, I think she sang it to us as kids. Almost brought tears to my eyes. Chris Hadfield is such an amazing human.

 

STOP BIRDY BRAGGING, ok?

STOP BIRDY BRAGGING, ok?

Saw this from Gary Vaynerchuk earlier today and just thought I would INFORM YOU. HUGE pet peeve on Twitter is people who RT everything nice someone says about them. It’s not necessary! It’s bad party form. You wouldn’t do that in real life so, don’t do it on the internet!

* BTW thinking about cutting my hair like this again? 

Casie Stewart - short hair don't care! #thisismylife

To be honest though, I fav all the nice things people say about me, great for uplifting spirits on a bad day or reminding yourself just how awesome you are! Fav is different than ReTweeting though.

WHAT IS A BIRDY BRAG?

Well hello from my new office at GelaSkins! I’ve been here for a week and I thought it’s time to post a lil’ update.  I’ve joined the team as Social Media Director and over the next few months I’ll be building a team and helping strategize how to make waves for some exciting company news. I’m loving it so far and working with awesome people.

About GelaSkins via #thisismylife

 

We have a very cool office.

This is only one little sneak peek! The space is super creative with art everywhere, hardwood floors, gaming, AppleTV, sweet couches, full kitchen, and a gym downstairs. There’s also a roof top patio and beer taps. It’s great the office is a 10 walk from our house too.  I get two songs in from door to door. 🙂
