Oh, just floating on the dock reading about advertising and ideas in the sun.
There is nowhere else I would rather be right now. Waves crash on the wood every time a boat crosses the lake.
When I close my eyes, it’s like I could lay here forever.
Planning to BBQ some steaks for dinner and hopefully watch sunset by the fire. Maybe a canoe ride and Sean can do most the paddling! (You will see this before him so haha!)
This sun is so nice. Wear sunscreen!

SPRING? WHERE ARE YOU! We had the cottage open this time last year and I’m pretty sure I had a tan. I’ve just about had enough, who do we call to make something happen about this weather? I hate to complain about it but that’s what we do in Canada, ok, say sorry heaps and talk about the weather. Ha!
Despite it being kinda meh the sun sis out and I took a stroll through the park. I love that the tennis court in Trinity Bellwoods has turned into some kind of public (and very random) art gallery space. Thought this iceberg and boat was really neat. Makes me think of creative people, you see one thing on the surface but below that is a wild undersea upside down mountain of creativity.
I am really into this car. I would like to drive around in it and listen to Snoop Dogg.
You know what I’m sayin? Hit play and you’ll know.
Wearing Green contacts from Air Optix Colors. They look really bright in the sunshine. It’s seriously been so fun trying out all these different colours the last few months. Check out all the other colours I’ve tried out here.
You can get Air Optix Colors from your eye doctor and as a new contacts wearer, I like that they are comfortable and allow my eyes to breathe. I reckon if you are someone who wears contact all the time this would be the most fun cause you can switch ’em up each month. For more info visit airoptixcolors.ca.
These are for you. You deserve them!
Sister selfie! Follow Jenie on IG at @jeniestewart.
Hope you are having a great day and enjoy the flowers. I’m sending sunshine your way since ol’ Mother Nature is still holding out on us.

* Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Alcon + Air Optix Colors. TBH these contacts are awesome and I’ve had a blast changing my eye colour around. Thanks for supporting me through reading about my personal experiences and life adventures This is the best job I’ve ever had!

Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand (like Nov. 11 in North America). If you’re just tuning in, my parents immigrated to Canada and I have dual citizenship (Canadian/Kiwi). All my family except Mum, Dad, & sister live there. I’m thankful for Facebook because I see so much more of them now! In spirit of Anzac Day and my love for New Zealand, some of my fav NZ people and blog moments below.
The latest campaign from Perrier for ‘Secret Place’ is pretty rad. I showed it to my work peeps and we loved the complex digital journey. I really like mix between branded entertainment and game. In Secret Place, you’re at the Ultimate Party and you get to live out the experience from the perspective of each of the 60 guests.
It took them 18 months writing scripts and scenarios to produce a film shot from each character perspective. Then, they had to build in the functionality to seamlessly switch characters with one click. Mind blowing!
“Imagine having to reproduce the sound of a bottle on a bar as many times as there are people in the room who can hear it.” I can’t imagine. There’s are a bunch of different rooms to explore at the ‘Secret Place’ party, it you haven’t done it yet. I encourage you to give it a go.
The prizes are parties at some of funnest places around the world including Ibiza, Art Basel in Miami, Saint Tropez, Rio for Carnival, and Sydney for NYE. The experience is available worldwide but open to 20 countries to play in the major markets for Perrier France, United States and Canada. I would love to win but unfortunately (for me) I’ve worked with Perrier and this is my second sponsored post. Last summer I told you about The Drop short film, see here.
Visit perriersecretplace.com to see how many lives you’ll live. I wish you luck. It’s quite a journey to go through the intricate video. If you win, I’ll happily be your +1!
It’s Earth Day! Today, more than usual, we give attention and praise to our cool green & blue planet! I am so freaking happy the weather is finally getting warm. I try to trick myself into thinking if doesn’t bother me but, it’s almost MAY and cold. I was born May 8th and I prefer it to be hot by then. (THAT IS A HINT)
This weekend, I was lucky to be up north opening the cottage. Took some photos with my new Fuju XF1 and wore my BIG FACE GREAT HORNED OWL from The Mountain. I was sent it as a gift just in time for Earth Day. So great. WHOOOOOO is the coolest? Get it? Urgh, clearly I am not cool or funny. I also have the Boston Terrier but I’m saving that one, for a special occasion.
A typical day at work at The Mountain twitter.com/TheMountainTee…

The Mountain seems like a pretty fun company (see tweet above if you did not already see tweet above). The Mountain produces tees made in the U.S. with water based inks and PVC-free operations and even invented a new dye oxidation system that cleans their dye waste water without the use of any chemicals.
My friend Kenny at work has a couple, so when they emailed me I was totally into it. I want more friends to have them so we can be a wild kingdom. Mine is Youth XL for $14. If you are my friend and your birthday is coming you might get one.
I was laying on my yoga mat in the sun staring up at this tree. It looked pretty and different colours in the sun.
After a relaxing weekend staring at trees, sky, lake, and sunshine, it was time for me to fly home on my broom. Here’s to a positive and productive week of awesome. I put in the request for lots of sunshine. Happy Earth day!
It’s hard to sleep in up here. The air is so fresh and it’s oh so quiet. The lake is still as a rock, frozen in time.
Watched the sunset on the roof. It was realllllly cold. I had tears running down my face, almost turning to icicles. Sean took some snaps with the camera, camera.
Nice to have a break from the city and be back up here. It’s warm inside with the fire and heat but I can’t wait for summer!
Good luck to all my peeps running in marathons today. Sending love to Boston too. Enjoy the day xo

Last night a bunch of us went out on the town. It was heaps of fun! First stop was the Praxis event at Hart House on the U of T Campus. Second was the annual party at Entrinsic. Nice to see the team there too! They have heaps of cool art done by Happy Sleepy. Lauren and I are sitting in front of one of the installations.
