Lifestyle Blogger: Video by Steve Carty

I shot with Carty about two weeks ago for the first time. Last week an opportunity came up where I needed a short intro about me on camera. After seeing a bunch of Carty’s video, I knew he was the perfect one to hire for this project.

This app is called DSLR Slate ($9.99). I’m not experienced enough in film producing to get this app yet but it’s cool. It makes sounds.

I shot, edited and delivered this video yesterday.youtu.be/UsHXz-RaF24?a Casie Stewart Lifestyle Blogger @casiestewart shot on the 7D.

Happy ~~Monday~~Tuesday! I hope you’re having an awesome day. I’ll be at the Thompson Hotel tonight celebrating the three year blog anniversary Nelia of styleblog.ca, Sharon and Tara of backseatstylers.com, and Kimberly Lyn of thesoulsofmyshoes.com. Congrats ladies!

Stick Up for Yourself, Son
Never Mind What Anybody Else Done

Feeling so excited. I might just take off, levitate, hover, from one place to another.

It’s a holiday in Ontario but when you are an entrepreneur you don’t really get many days off, you don’t want to. Hopefully you are doing work you love that doesn’t ‘reallllllly’ feel like work. Friday, I fully made myself not work and I slept the entire day. Today, I’m working and getting ahead on things for the week.

Have a video shoot today for something in LA LA Land. I am crossing my fingers, sending all my positive energy into the universe, hoping that a few things that have come up lately work out. You can cross yours too. I think it will help. This time last year was the calm before the storm of work and events that kicked off in September. Here’s to good things happening!

Set your goals, write them down, tell your friends, tell a stranger. The best way to make them a reality is to believe in them. Your thoughts become things!! This song always makes me feel like I can do anything.

The Weekend: Girls Night, Dinner, Justice, Osheaga

We had girls night on Thursday, us five Spice Girls took to King West. Look out.

Michelle, Lauren, Me, Sarah

Irie, Hollywood

Friday we had 1188 dinner at Parts & Labour for Sean’s birthday. It was nice. They make a mean beavertail. I had a burger but it was mixed up with Matt’s and came rare with cheese. I order ‘no cheese’ everything.

Last night I went to my first concert at Fort York, M83 & Justice. M83 was great. I felt like Justice was a light show that went along with a pre-recorded mix. It was fun though. There were LED light sticks flying all over the place. Looked awesome with the bright lights and CN Tower glowing in the background.

This week SummerWorks starts and I’m stoked to see some theatre. See my most recent interview with a ‘sexy transexual’ on the SummerWorks blog here. See the full festival schedule at . LMK if you have tickets to something, I’ll be around!

Check out Matt’s posts from Osheaga. Would have loved to be there. He presents to you OSHEAGRAM!

Hope you are enjoying the weekend. Just had my nails done w/ Barbie! Huzzahhhh 🙂

Day 2 at OSHEAGA! OsheYEAHGUY!

Hey guys! It’s Matt. Here’s my updates from day 2 at Osheaga, let me tell you, the days just keep getting better. You should be here. You NEED to be here. Nice weather all around.

Here are the highlights of my awesome day as told through Instagram!

All of a sudden it got dark and Yeasayer was playing their final song. Great light show.

And then… the oh-so-highly anticipated Snoop Dogg/Liom. His intro sequence was awesome. He did a million classics and was super reggae. Can’t complain about that, can ya?

Everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) was dropping it like it was hot.

I saw a Jesus hologram, and Chef Ramsay, and Donald Trump. Holograms everywhere! He was great. So vintage, yet so fresh. Snoop did not disappoint.

Here’s to hoping for more sunshine on Sunday. Feel bad for those Lollapalooza-ers! All in the name of music. So worth it. See you tomorrow on my feeds! Twitter = @matttnificent / Instagram = matttnificent

CHEERS N EVEN MORE BEERS (seriously though. I got so many free beers today),

-Matt

#OSHEAGA! Day one!

Hi guys! Matt here, live from Osheaga in Montreal for casiestewart.com! The festival has been great so far. Lots of sun, some clouds, good food (but looooong lines), and most importantly, unreal music! And now, I present to you:

OSHEAGRAM: Osheaga by instagram – The festival told through nice photos.

Rue St. Cathrines. Super festive. Reminds me of Church Street in Toronto.

Watching fun. from the side! The crowd knew every word and head banged to Some Nights.

This is Yukon Blonde jamming out. Such a solid indie rock group. Definitely a highlight.

This is me drinking beer. Enough said.

Down With Webster was my favourite part of the day. Those dudes know how to bring it. They tossed beer cups into the crowd and got us jumping to every beat.

Franz Ferdinand! I’ve been waiting to see these guys for years and they did not disappoint! Playing a combination of new & old tunes they were a blast and a half.

And finally – Justice. What can you say about two dudes who make such awesome music and put on some of the most amazing shows ever? Can’t do ’em Justice. (lololololol)

The sun started setting and Sigur Ross came out. Their smooth, dreamy melodies had everyone in a daze. Such an experience.

Here’s to hoping day 2 is even better than 1.Check out my Twitter and Instagram feeds (matttnificent) for live Osheaga updates!

Cheers n beers,

-Matt

Write It Down

I’m ready. I’ve always been ready but now I feel it in my bones. The last few days have been filled with excitement, creativity, and I’m stoked about life. I took an adventure into a few notebooks I’ve scribbled in from the stack beside my bed, I was reminded how much I truly love writing. When I was 15 I wrote and published an anthology of poetry & prose and I never really stopped. I’m keen to have a book written by December 1, 2012. I’m writing it down & telling you to make it real.

In other news, while I was Googling myself in Google Books I found out that BRIAN SOLIS mentioned me in his book “The End of Business as Usual“. I have blogged about him a few times and I love his work. Smart man. My credit in Dear Photograph also came up. I’m taking that as a sign I’m on the RIGHT TRACK baby!

You Can Call Me Hollywood, I Will Call You Maybe
