I’ve been on a health kick for the last month and honestly, it has me feeling so great. I’ve got another Re-Energizer session at The Motion Room tomorrow afternoon. Work it!

Lucky for me, I’ll be dressed in stylish gear that is functional too. Reebok Canada hooked me up with their Easy Tone apparel including kicks, pants & long bra top. THANK YOU!

Friends, meet Julie! She’s a trainer/spokesperson for Reebok Canada (and a babe!)

The Easy Tone shoes are those cool ones from TV with balance ball inspired technology. They actually strengthen and tone muscles when you wear them. Uh, you mean I can work out even more without working harder? I AM SO IN!

This is me w/ Andy before I interview Julie. I reckon I look like a fitness instructor. I’d be a great teacher! 🙂

These shoes are also part of the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade. So, not only are you getting in shape by wearing them, you are supporting a good cause.

NBD just gettin’ jacked up…

Tonight I’ve got a meeting w/ Kingi from Peach Berserk. We’re designing my dress for the Have a Heart auction next week. (Please come bid on me!) I’ve drawn some sketches & can’t wait.

After that, Jenie is my date to the Motion Ball Gala at the Carlu. Thanks Rightsleeve!

Ok, bye! TGIF,

This week I got these darling little earings from Charity Diamonds. They’re 10k gold studs covered with Swarovski crystals and come in a bunch of colours. I chose black, cute eh?

Charity Diamonds a Canadian jewelry company that sells conflict free jewelry and donates 50% of it’s proceeds to charity. Pretty rad considering diamonds are a girls best friend and giving to charity makes it that much better.

Lucky for YOU they are giving away a couple pairs of Swarovski crystal Firecracker earrings ($79) before Valentine’s day.

To enter:

Tweet @sparkleforlife & hashtag #CharityDiamonds with the color you want to win!

Shine on my friends!

Still in love with this song BTW…

Gettin’ some ish done today. Woke up feleing kinda urgh but then I though about all the things I have to be happy about and was like “WTF Casie? Snap out of it.” There’s no need for that kinda ‘wah wah’ attitude around here. (That goes for YOU too, ok!)  This is one of my fav songs to listen to when walking around and especially on the subway. It’s long and calming, really good thinking music. Too bad it’s not on itunes. Doh!

Isn’t it incredible that someone or something can make you feel able to achieve anything? It’s like the whole world is supporting you; the world is waiting for you. Someone believing in you, that feeling right there is incredible.  It is all you need. I hope you feelin’ the love today.

True to my goal, I’ve been going through my old hard drives and digging up heaps of files containing essays, poerty, prose and more. Makes me feel really excited. I love writing and I’m doing more, well, more than just ‘blogging’ which has kinda taken over my time. I’ve been telling myself I want to publish another book for way too long now and I am derermined to do it. That’s why I’m telling YOU.

You can be part of it by asking, reminding me, making me think about it. It’s going to be a second anthology of poetry, prose & short stories. All pieces I’ve wrtten from the last 10 years. There will be some photos and it will be nice looking. My goal is to do it because I don’t want life to pass by with all this written work locked in digtal form within a metal box. I want to have them bound together in my hand. It would be a shame if they never got to feel your eyes and touch your heart, they like the attention.

The title of this post is this one:

I don’t know, I don’t know?
My ideas run like flow!
Why these things come out my head?
These things for long have been dead.
The water ran so quickly then,
And to life they come once again!

Saw my boyfriend yesterday. Was out and about around downtown and ran into him on the street.  Love when he calls me ‘doll’.

I love this cover by these two. They’ve got such a great sound.

Hadn’t been to the Eaton Centre in ages. Saw a few of these around: Are people using FB checkin’ that much? I guess so.

Apple store self promo as usual haha.

Red hair mannequins, how cute

This is the phone I am giving away next week. I’ve got more than one and they are from Motorola Canada on the Rogers Network. Value $424. Good steal there.

Canoe see it?

Got some serious hookups from Reebok Canada yesterday and took my new Easy Tone kicks for a stroll. Pretty comfy & nice. Interviewed a fitness model & trainer and that will be up soon on “interview w/ casie“.

Found this one the ground. Hung it on a tree for everyone to see.

Was behind this dude at Sobeys. He had a window washing gear so I reckon he’s squeegie kid. Funny enough, he has no clue now to spell ‘anal sextherapy’. Is that even a thing? haha

Going through these today and diggin up oldies from the vault. So much brain power and years of memories.

Got this new parfum in the mail from Givenchy Canada this week. Smells pretty good. Claw is necklace pendant from Nick Von K a New Zealand designer. I picked it out during NZFW.

Snow last night from my window, was hoping to wake up to a winter wonderland

Alas, there was hardly any snow down there.

Did you see Rob Ford declared it official Bob Marley Day on Sunday? He did. Toronto is a pretty forward thinking city in terms of decriminalization, nice to see the Mayor decriminalize Mr. Marley. My Tweets ended up in this little video about it.

Ladies & gents, by this time it’s not news to anyone that Virgin America is leaving Toronto April 6th. We’re sad to see them go but that doesn’t mean there’s not still time for you to to have your own Virgin experience in the sky.

We’re about to get a MAYJAH in storm with extreme cold & GASP…up to 30cm of snow. Doesn’t this Cali weather look damn good now?

I HAZ FLIGHT GIVEAWAYS FOR YOU!

We’ve got a couple flights to give away during Social Media Week (Feb. 7-11) including the GENYTO party on Feb. 11th. Get your tickets here and make sure you’re there for chance to win a round trip.

I’ve also got a flight giveaway with z-list.com. I’ll be blogging that on my zlist blog later this week but in the mean time you can sign up right hurre.

Remember Toronto, Sir RB gave me the official thumbs up and I will always be your Provocateur. Have a great day. I’m off to an audition then to the GYM! 🙂

P.S. AnI’m off to an auyone else having trouble with WordPress today. I posted a lil’ message for WP on tumblr. hehe

Morning everyone? Are ya ready? Let’s go.

We are gonna work-it-work-it.

Pushup skillz, I got em. Do you?

Oh yes please and thank you for making me do this. Hurts but a good hurt 😉

Work it.

When I’m down and I feel like giving up I think again, I whip my hair back and forth like this. Work it.

This all makes me look so fit nevermind the next post where I have a drink in every photo. Having a balance is very important too kids but most important is a-t-t-i-t-u-d-e.

NBD just air cycling. You’re welcome.

Burpees you know what those are? I had no clue. That’s what we’re all doing here.

The best thing for me about going to a gym where you are instructed and told what to be IS BEING instructed and told. I was a dancer growing up and I hated gym class in highschool.  I never really knew how/felt comfortable working out on my own. I feel much better about the whole thing now.

How cute is this little angel April?

Known April for a while now. We met that one summer (1997?) I did American Pie Beta House. Look at me here hangin’ with the Beta boys on set. I hated that outit, had to wear it for a multiple days shooting a really long scene. That’s my sis and Ish in the front.

If you listen to happy upbeat music and mix in some dancing you will have more fun with your workout.

If you dance in your day you will have more fun with your life. Trust me on this, I know.

Workout inspiration/thinspiration is the Bodyrock Babe. Have you SEEN her body? OMG I die. So in shape it’s insane.

This exercise feels like burning. James is a really nice trainer and he put the bars lower just for me cause I’m short so I had to work extra hard. THANKS A LOT! (not kidding!)

Sabrina knows how to work it. Work it girl.

We had a whole convo about NY Fashion Week during the cool down stretching. April is going this week, she’s the cheeky PR girl for Buckler Canada. Cute face.

Talking fashion makes me happy as you can see. Ron Burgundy pose haha.

Ok, this is exhausting. Time for relax. The end.

GOOD WORKOUT!

If any of YOU want to come do the Re-Energizer Bootcamp with ME on Saturday afternoon at 3pm (Feb. 5th) this is your chance. There are four spots, lemme know in the comments & I will email you. Location is Dundas & Windemere, bout 12 min drive from my hood.

Get your booty in gear, get off the couch.

HAPPY MONDAY!

P.S. Check Lauren’s post about the Gino vs Hipster party on Cosmo TV’s blog

I’m a big fan of Me to We style and have been a huge fan girl of Craig Keilburger since I was 14. I’ve love his passion for making a difference in the world and his determination to make it a reality.

They have this neat collection of original accessories, handcrafted by artisans in Free The Children countries. Each unique piece in the Maasai Collection is sustainably produced and uses as much local supplies as possible. Uh, hello high five!

They’re great things to pick up for your Valentine so you can give someone you love something made with love.  Win-win. You can get online, Whole Foods, Blue Banana in Kensington or at the Me to We store. They’re all cute + affordable too. Omg, my blog is such a love fest! ♥

Penda Love Chain

This piece is inspired by the beaded chains worn by Maasai warriors, who traditionally wear long strands of beads over one arm. Named for the Swahili word for “love”, the two Penda chains—when paired together—symbolize unity between loved ones. As a set with the Maasai Heart Ring – $21.99 or seperately for $10.99

Maasai Heart Ring

Rings are made from leather and glass beads and come in two colours, pink and pewter, in the shape of a heart.

Maasai Heart Key Chain

The Maasai people bead items for each other as an expression of love and appreciation. Price: $12.99 or as a set with the Penda Love Chain – $21.99

Monashee Love Scarf

This is a great thing to have or get for someone, so soft & stretchy.  Every farmer, producer and manufacturer receives a fair wage in order to make it.

There’s a gorgeous beaded necklace that I would love to have on my neck too. OK gym time. K, bye.
