And speaking of Canada, can’t ignore this little rascal. Puffing up the airwaves in his pot plane.

According to an official report obtained by NBC News, there was so much marijuana smoke in Justin Bieber’s Super Bowl-bound plane that pilots were forced to wear oxygen masks. The report also states that Bieber and his father were “extremely abusive” to a flight attendant.

What a little btch that Bieber! lol

Gah. Today is like the maddest winter blizzardy day we’ve had YET! It’s snowing like cats and dogs everywhere. I tried to make it look pretty with my little pink coat from NastyGal and GoPro but I feel there is almost nothing a girl can do in weather like this.

Look at my hair when I got to work…. urgh! WTF is this?

Summer I Miss You, My Love.

Screen Shot 2014-01-31 at 4.01.04 PM

I can’t stop thinking about summer. I need to get my a$$ to hot yoga or something. I’m not sure WHAT it is but I’ve been feeling so blarghhhh the last few days. Spent a few hours getting pampered on the weekend followed by a day of relaxation w/ my one true love then BAM I was sick on Monday. Gimme a break!

Thinking Sean and I might hop over to Jamaica or somewhere hot next month. I’m dying to feel the sun on my face and salty ocean water on my skin. My few days off work last week were nice but I was still so connected to the Internet (and work) that it wasn’t really much of a break. You know what I mean? I feel like I need a ‘real vacation’ a digital detox.

In other news, Valentines Day is coming up and we’ve not really got anything planned. I’d like to have a nice dinner and get a good sleep. I’m old now, lol. Last year I was surprised with a bracelet from Tiffany’s and he made me bacon hearts. It was perfect.

I have a few giveaways for things for you coming up over the next few days. Urgh, just saw we are getting more snow tonight. ENOUGH ALREADY, ENOUGH! Looks like I’ll be hibernating all week AGAIN!

With love, CASIE <3

This pic was taken recently by Adrian Fiebig an awesome Toronto based photog from the UK. He contacted me a little while ago to pick out my fav scarf from London’s ‘This Way to Heaven’. I picked ‘The Hawk’ scarf by Tony Common and I love it. I can’t wait to fly away somewhere warm next month and take this beauty with me. the colours are bright and beautiful!

The limited edition luxury scarves are designed by a handful of artists and photographers from around the world. Check them out here. There’s heaps of cool ones!

I’ve been here before but this time it was REALLY COLD. It’s a great place to visit but I’d advise against going in a Polar Vortex.  Sean and I braved the blowing wind for about 45 minuted. In less brutal conditions, people stay for 2-3 hours.

The roads driving back to the city were pretty gnarly. The snow banks were as high as the car and snow was blowing all over the place. Coming back to the city brought on a wave of traffic and city stress.

I’m ready to book a vacation somewhere HOT!

Picked up some sweet handmade fortune rings. Good luck for Year of the Horse I hope!

Had a lovely afternoon at Sekai Nail & Beauty Bar. My 90 min massage was great and followed by manicure & pedicure. Went for an electric sapphire blue on my nails, I usually only get red or black. Change is good!

Tried my first Caramel Macchiato at Starbucks, I see now why so popular. Super sweet but delicious. It was crazy snowy so, after my relaxing afternoon out I retreated to our house and stayed in for the night.

Posted heaps on Tumblr and Pinterest. Started watching the Kevin Bacon series ‘The Following’ on Netflix. It’s about s serial killer, like a really long episode of Criminal Minds kinda. So far, good!

Oh hai. Back to work. It’s cold. Stress hits you like a ton of bricks the second you get back to this wIld city! We ran into a bunch of road closures trying to leave Collingwood and then there was a gunman on the loose in my work/home neighbourhood. Traffic was insane. Sean had a late meeting to get to. It’s amazing how a few days of relaxation can just evaporate witht the hustle and bustle of city life. I long for the days when I used to live in Australia and the beach + surf was my sanctuary.

In other news, I have a package from NastyGal (with shoes!) at the Postie and my new glasses from Warby Parker arrive today. Booked a 90 min massage + pedicure for Saturday morning so countdown to the weekend is on. I really hope Spring comes early this year, Winter has been a real B*TCH THIS YEAR! 🙂

P.S. Have some Valentines Day giveaways coming up next week for youuuuuuuuuuu! ♥

 

An Enchanted Party

An Enchanted Party

20140129-213505.jpg 

This month was EmBot’s 6th birthday, and like any little girl she wanted a Hello Kitty party. I’m not very experienced in this type of thing (AT ALL) so when a friend told me his  friend  had a party supplies company, I was all ears! The lovely ladies at Enchanted Party put together a package of Hello Kitty party favours including plates, napkins, super kawaii hats, loot bags, and cutlery for me to contribute. It was my chance to shine! I dressed EmBot in a Hello Kitty dress (H&M) and all the kids all looked so cute in their party hats!

20140129-213520.jpg

EnchantedParty.com was started by mother and daughter team Sheryl and Tamara Murie. They wanted to make it easy for you to have the best parties for your kids and of course, wow your guests. Both ladies are Aussies living in Canada and experienced party planners with heaps of events under their belts. (Australians really know how to throw down so I have no doubt they can party!)

HELLO KITTY PARTY

  • .12 brightly colored scalloped edges plates 9” add a cute touch to your party table
  • .1 set of napkins 6”- let Hello Kitty help keep things clean
  • .12 cups -for an adorable Hello Kitty table
  • .8 lovely Hello Kitty loot bags … fill them with treats
  • . 24 pc matching cutlery set
  • .1 table covering in matching pink – Measures 54″ x 108″
  • . 6 pretty Hello Party hats for the little guests
  • .24 balloons
  • .1 set of candles

One thing I learned in this whole process is how hard it is to actually get the kids to sit still for photos! And not make silly faces!  Urghhh. EmBot had a Hello Kitty cake to match and before we knew it the kids were all hopped up on sugar and running around with their cute party hats.

Thank you Tamara at Enchanted Party for donating these supplies, they took the party next level! Visit enchantedparty.com to see all the goodies for your little super hero or princess .They have party dresses too!
