you missed this yesterday

Move. Eat. Learn.

Sammy & Ross showed me these videos yesterday. Totally cool: 3 guys, 44 days, 11 countries, 18 flights, 38 thousand miles, an exploding volcano, 2 cameras and about a terabyte of footage. I would LOVE to be part of a project like this. Inspiring. I love travel. Vids were commissioned by STA Australia. Enjoy!

This will make you want to do things.

This will make you hungry.

This will inspire you.

Crushing on that guy now. How great of a BF would he be? He’s done so many cool things! Hope these make you smile they way they did me. I love it!

CASIE, HOW ARE YOU USING SPOTIFY IN CANADA?

Clearly people and interested! I’ve had heaps and heaps of questions about how I am using Spotify in Canada the last few weeks.

I was in the USA when Klout gave “influencers” a Klout perk last month. Everyone was like “WTF we can’t use our code in Canada, wahhhh, wahhhh”. I signed up thinking “I better get on this while I’m here since I go home in a few days blah blah blah”. When I got home, IT STILL WORKED. OMFG HEAD EXPLODE, MIND BLOWING. That’s how I have Spotify.

You can get it too, get curious and look it up yo!

  • Use a proxy, (If you want to go overkill try one made for accessing Piratebay, that’ll work really well)
  • Go to the USA and sign up there
  • Ask a friend online or offline to sign up an account for you

I’ve been totally loving it. Music is filling my house and the playlists are introducing me to beautiful sounds I’ve never heard before. One of my friends is an aspiring artist and she has a few songs coming out on Spotify soon so I cannot wait to give them a listen! She also told me that because the number of streams your tracks get is so important these days, she has considered buying some Spotify plays from the Get Fans website here: https://getfans.io/buy-spotify-plays. The music industry has always been very competitive, so it makes sense that people are looking for ways to give their songs a boost. Anyway, here’s a sneak peek of what my Spotify account looks like.

ISN’T THE INTERNET AMAZING. <3

LOMO ARIGATO.

Got a new camera today! Say helloooo to my new  SPROCKET ROCKET! Flash has my middle name. 🙂 Pretty stoked to shoot with this baby, gonna be interesting.

The Lomography shop Queen West invited me in to be on one of their Lomo Magazine LomoAmigos. GRACIAS! Other Amigos include Elijah Wood, surfer Candice O´Donnell, actress Amber Tamblyn, and David Arquette. See them here.

They have so many cameras in the shop. Beautiful space, nice hard wood floor.

I want a ring, camera flash light ring.

I picked the black one of these (boring I know!). Thought about the neon yellow but I like my equipment to match.  TBH, it’s HARD to take photos with a non-digital. I told Jane at the shop “I’m about to find out how ‘good’ of a photographer I am”. I’m going for Borderline Artistic style, we’ll see what we get.

These (blog) photos were taken w/ phone cam, Motorola DEFY. Went mobile for a change this morning. Cruisin’ on bike in the rain isn’t really time for the PEN.

Took a bunch of shots during the day with the Rocket, gonna drop off my film tomorrow and see how we turn out with the first round. Wish me luck!

not old photos, new hair.

live your life as it’s meant to be

First day for a while it’s not been sunny out. I find myself to be very productive on these days. Dive right into my computer!

This song is a good motivator.

I’m on the edge of glory, I’m on the edge! I wanna do the EDGE WALK on the CN Tower.

Hair is back to a nice blonde. I really wanna grow it out this winter. It’s a mega process. Had it short for so long now. If I focus I can do it. I mean, make it through the awkward stages! Got any tips? Luckily I love wearing hats.

Really loving new desk setup. Mac things are so pretty. My Dodo Case for iPad is totally busted. Basically a scrap of bamboo. I really need to EM them about that. Got a new Motorola DEFY yesterday adn I’m happily back on the Telus Mobile Network.

Doing a photo shoot tonight with Lauren, Raymi, Anna and some babes for PinkMafia. Had a wicked sleep last ngiht so hopefully I don’t look tired! Off to a camera shop & hopefully will have some good news about  new project by end of day.

Make it a great one 🙂

* Loving Spotify and title is from Mumford & Sons ‘The Cave’. So good.

 

 

 

If I get to meet Ellen, what should I ask her!?

You know when you have an idea, something you’ve always wanted to do?  You focus on it, you think about it and you imagine how it will feel when you reach that moment.

I’ve got one of those moments coming up.

I’m attending the Power of Women event in Toronto and one of my most favourite women in the world is going to be there, Ellen DeGeneres!

The Toronto event is August 11th and I’ll be backstage VIP with the opportunity to connect with speakers and guests. I’m hosting a live blog on event day and tweeting from my own account as well as @POWlive.

I’m stoked! You know how much I love connecting with inspiring people! Past speakers include Sigourney Weaver, Joy Behar, Hilary Swank, Martha Stewart and heaps of other fabulous women.
