It’s beautiful out. Drink water. Wear sunscreen. Believe in yourself.

Went to the public pool last night. I didn’t go in. Drove around location scouting in a car that’s for a Puma commercial shooting today. Convertible cruising, ILU.

Had my first ever shellac mani/pedi at 1BodyBar. It felt like vacation.

Went for a massive walk this morning. Ate McDonalds. (Massive walk ok! Haha) Feeling alive and ready for an awesome day.

Life is short, seize the day my friends! Have fun 🙂

From Canada w/ <3 CASIE

Join me for dinner tomorrow night? @Summerworks Soireé!

Next month from August 9-19th is SummerWorks Festival which features Canadian music including Buck 65 & Hawksley Workman and an array of performances picked by a jury.  I’ll be blogging a bunch of festival things, doing some interviews, and attending all kinds of stuff.

Did you know what I love theatre. I was in the Sears Festival, played a hot box girl in Guys & Dolls, and did a few plays in high school. I love the stage, what can I say?

Tomorrow night is the Summer Soireé and I would love to see you there. 

Dinner is hosted by award-winning playwright and actor, Michael Healey and takes place at the Great Hall. Purchase a ticket here.

It’s an elegant three-course meal prepared by chefs Mark Cutrara + Alexandra Feswick (who are on the cusp of opening their new Samuel J Moore Restaurant on the main floor of the Great Hall). Apps and cocktails will be served at 6:00pm and the meal at 7:00. Semi-formal attire.

Let me know if you’ll be there. Love to see some familiar faces & meet some new ones 🙂

Go Further with Ford 2012 – Part 1

20120704-100921.jpg

I’d never been to Ford Field. Lots of history here. Home to the Detroit Lions and with it’s 1920’s architecture, has a real street that runs right through it. I’m more of a cheerleader than a football player. Clearly.

Bill Ford is a really rad dude. He went against the grain for Ford Motor Company really pushing for innovation & eco-sustainability.

Later in the day we went to this really rad place called TechShop and we made stuff. I made a pewter star and frosted beer mug with a huge ‘C’ on it.

A Special Reminder for You…

Country By Day, Downtown by Night

Walked two hours today running into people in the streets between work meetings. I love this city. Amazing how rejuvenated a quick getaway makes you feel.

Arroved home to a brand spankin’ new Olympus PEN camera. It’s E-PM1, a mini DSLR style camera. The lenses from my other camera’s fit it and i can’t wait to snap some new shots this week. Sadly it’s time to return my Hamilton watch I had on ong term loan. Glasses are those cat eye ones by Derek Cardigan for Clearly Contacts. Blue bracelet was made by Katiya.
