Blog Life: Sometimes I don’t feel like it. #9

It’s a weird and wonderful thing having a blog, a public diary about your life. I love going back and reading about my adventures, Googling photos and finding lost memories, but, sometimes I don’t feel like it. This week, is one of those. Although, there’s no shortage of Instagrams and Tweets, Pins and reblogs on Tumblr flooding the Internet daily, all posted by me.

This weekend I’m packing up my condo to move to the new house and I couldn’t be more happy about it don’t feel like it. I wanna play outside! I can’t wait for my trips to NY & LA next month. I’ll be back up at the cottage next weekend too. I reckon I’ll catch up on posts this weekend and we’ll be back business in no time!

Hope you’re having a stellar day and sitting in somewhere with AC. Remember you can always find me on the Twitter!

Much love,

CASIE

The Tragically Hip to Play at Bridle Bash V on August 3

The Tragically Hip to Play at Bridle Bash V on August 3

One of the BEST parties I’ve EVER been to is the Bridle Bash. It’s held at a friends private residence on the Bridle Path and brings together and awesome group of people, partiers, and musical guests. This year, THE TRAGICALLY HIP are playing in the ravine backyard for about 800 guests. It’s going to be so freaking awesome!

Last time my sister and I went to BB, we ended up on the society page of the Globe & Mail, in the photo above. We put a  canoe in the pool and proceeded to give out vodka filled flasks to people all around. It was fantastic.

Tickets for BBV can be purchased here and start at $500 each. All the money goes to the Bridle Bash Foundation which supports an array of charities and events in the city of Toronto. For more info on the bash visit the event website here.

We’ve got our tickets and I can’t wait. It’s one of those parties  you’ll never forget. I have a feeling this year will top the last one! If you’re gonna be there LMK in the comments or Tweet me! Follow @BridleBash on Twitter and find the event on Facebook here.

Much love,

Contests

Netflix Canada Contest: Orange is the New Black?

Netflix Canada Contest: Orange is the New Black?

OK, I started this book today. Sitting on Queen Street in the shade waiting for (rain) someone boyfriend. Netflix sent me a signed copy from the author. Autograph is orange highlighter, naturally. It sounds good, the creator of Weeds made it. Scroll down if you want the prize only, winner gets the following..

PRIZE

  • PS3 ($269 Future Shop)
  • Six month Netflix Canada subscription ($48)
  • Author signed copy of Orange Is The New Black book (Piper Kerman Priceless)

I love Netflix and I watch heaps of moves. Last year they sent me a FIVE YEAR subscription and I am excited because more series are being produced for Netflix ONLY. [I was a subscriber before they contacted me.]

WATCH THIS IT’S FUNNY

Taryn Manning, Donna from That 70’s Show, Jason Biggs (American Pie),  and Janeane Garofalo. LOVE IT. 
 I like this story, from the first chapters, because I could be this person. So could you. It’s not that hard to get trapped in a cross-border love/drug smuggling scandal. I saw Broke Down Palace, I know how this works. 

Contest: @Netflix_CA & @casiestewart #thisismylife #orangeisthenewblack

Contest: @Netflix_CA & @casiestewart #thisismylife #orangeisthenewblack

 HOW TO WIN

This is a totally made up contest – WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO SAVE ME IN JAIL?


Basically this could happen to anyone, right? In order to pay her debt to society (for a 10 year-old drug money thing smuggling for an African Drug Lord), Piper must trade her comfortable New York life with fiancé  Larry (Jason Biggs) for an orange jumpsuit and prison life. It’a a wild roller coaster  I haven’t read it all yet but SOMEONE LIKE YOU can have a new PS3 to watch it.

Imagine I was in jail… I’d be like a junior Martha Stewart. Naturally.

Contest: @Netflix_CA & @casiestewart #thisismylife #orangeisthenewblack

PS3 plays Blueray.  This is a fun contest. Tweet or die FTW.

Much love,

CASIE

The boys played ping pong in the office when we had no power.

I thought we could use a little ‘pick-me-up’ so I loaded up my desk with snacks.

Hope you day is not gloomy like this sticky weather. Tonight I’m posting a wicked new contest with an awesome prize. Stay tuned!

Cineplex Movie Date w/ Savings from CAA

image

No, that’s not me! It’s Anne Hathaway in the Cineplex magazine! This week I went to the movies, which I have not done in FOREVER. The best part? I ordered tickets online from CAA and saved some cash. The second best part, CAA discounted tix are still eligible for Scene Points at the theatre. Double bonus!

image

There are over 1,300 Cineplex Entertainment screens in Canada from serving more than 70M movie lovers each year.  If you’re a CAA member, like me, you can enjoy exclusive pricing. The prices below are Canadian dollars with tax included and can be ordered online or picked up from a CAA store near you.

CAA Cineplex Tickets Available

Um, that’s like forever these days! You can also upgrade them for IMAX®, IMAX® 3D, UltraAVX™, RealD 3D film and VIP admission by paying the difference.

image

As for me, I  like to go to the theatre early and hit the arcade. My BF loves old school Pacman and my fav game is Dance Dance Revolution. I played heaps when I lived in Australia, and guess what? I still got skills!

For  information on ALL the awesome life-side assistance savings from CAA visit caa.ca. On a side note, you can also save at Jays Games, East Side Mario’s, and Gap outlets. I picked up this bright cardigan from the Gap at Dufferin Mall the other day and saved 10%!

Have an awesome day!

I’ve been invited to the happiest place on EARTH! Yes, it’s true. I’ll be spending six days next month in sunny California touring Disneyland, staying at THE Disneyland Hotel, and hanging out in the OC and LA with their tourism boards. It’s every  girls dream come true! I’m hoping to recreate a photo of me with Mickey Mouse that was taken when I was a toddler. Mum, did you find that yet?

Screen Shot 2013-06-24 at 10.56.17 PM

These pix are from the Disneyland archives (via LA Times) and this little ticket is the first one ever sold. It’s been a while since I had a vacation and I can’t wait. Disney has also invited my BFF Lauren, a bunch of other bloggers, and I’m bringing my BF. I’ve never been so thankful to be  a blogger!

Screen Shot 2013-06-24 at 10.57.05 PM

Screen Shot 2013-06-24 at 10.56.54 PM

I can see me wearing tulle, and Mickey Mouse ears the whole time. Ahhhhh! I’ll be sharing  moments as they happen on Twitter/Instagram and documenting the entire trip with my new Canon DSLR.

If you’ve ever been to Disney or have any tips for LA and the OC, please leave in the comments! It’s been a couple years since I was in LA and I’ve never been to the OC!

Squeeeee!

Crackdown on Public Drinking in Bellwoods

Crackdown on Public Drinking in Bellwoods

Was having lunch in Bellwoods with a friend today (as I so often do) and I must look like a hipster because I was interviewed by CBC about the recent crackdown on drinking in the park.

Public Park drinking in Bellwoods @casiestewart #thisismylife

 

I’m not sure when it will air but if you catch me on the tele, snap a pic! Apparently neighbours of the park have been cracking down on reporting public drinking and drug use (joint smoking?) in Bellwoods. I’ve had my share of afternoons in the park drinking a few tall cans with friends, it’s really fun! All I have to say is, if you’re drinking the park, don’t make a mess or be too obvious.

Enjoy the sunshine out there, it’s turned into a beautiful day!
