It looks like this. I have had my eye on this baby for MONTHS!
A bunch of stories have no views but they emailed this info to me and I thought wow, you made those. . It’s nice to know I have 46 memories in Story from the year. In 2013 I will create more. And better.
I published 569 blog posts on casiestewart.com last year.
Below are some of my fav parts of the year told using Storify.
Yesterday was lying in bed, aware, awake, ready to get up, but not really just yet, a few more minutes pleaseandthankyou. I like to think about my day and outfit. Then someone was calling me and it was Mum. She rung to say the Exec. Chef from Langdon Hall was missing and it was all over the local news. (I am from Cambridge and like to be up on news.) I spent lots of time on Langdon Drive growing up and have find memories of Langdon Hall. There are deer in the back forrest, it’s really beautiful. I was there in May with Mum for my birthday driving Infiniti G37. LIKE A G6.
The Chef is Jonathan Gushue and he’s been at LH for 7 years. The missing story is kinda weird but he has family he’s been missing since Dec.31, 2012. It feels like a movie. (Doesn’t everything?) He used a fake name at the hotel, but he’s pretty famous. I love when characters do that in movies.
Strangest quote from everything I have read about this disappearance is in this from TheStar “Every aspect of my husband I am in love with,” she said. “He is my soul mate. My children worship the ground he walks on. We deal with our issues.” Apparently he has disappeared before and has been in AA for two years. Not a good combo.
I hope he returns safe to his family. If you have any info about Jonathan Gushue, call Waterloo Police at 519-650-8500 ext. 2299.
Here is a nice video about him and Langdon Hall.
Shirt is from Zara, blazer H&M, pants Old Navy, necklace MK&A’s JewelMint
The ceiling at my desk in the office.
Frida & Diego yesterday was great. Highly recommend you see the movie or read a book before going.
I love Mondays.
Fresh faced, filled with ideas.
Brainstorm, rain storm of things to do.
Filming tomorrow for Coral TV.
Hope your day is GREAT!

What’s more fun to do on Sunday morning than make breakfast, watch movies, and create infographics about your data? I DON’T KNOW. Ok, I do know but I do love the way data looks when it’s visualized. This morning I’ve been scoping about a few free tools to see what my data says about me. For a great list of infographic tools see this list on hongkiat.com I found via Paisano. I’m off to the Art Gallery to hang out with Frida and Diego. Will say hi to Banksy and Andy for you! Have an awesome day! 🙂
create infographics with visual.ly
I used to be a member at the AGO and it was one of the best things in my life. I love the art gallery. I visit old works, old worlds, old friends. I wander in silence setting my mind free. It’s inspiring. $100 gets you in free for the year. There’s a members lounge with wifi. I’m going back again tomorrow.
Fuji Film Canada sent me this sexy little leather XF1 in a purse from Danier Leather. That’s how you do it, forget the box, send it in leather! It’s a sleek & stylish point n’ shoot that I can take anywhere. It’s the latest in the X Series and combines fashion and function. Perfect for me! I’m not really sure how to use it yet but I will learn. There are a lot of features and you can actually shoot digitally with different types of Fuji Film. The TV commercial below shows the camera’s sexy side. MEOW!
My sister and I used to play The Quiet Game. Be quiet for as long as you can and first person to talk loses. I lost all the time. DOH! That’s not what this post is ab out THOUGH…
One of the things I have ALWAYS loved about my blog is when you leave comments. Starting now, like right NOW, I’m going to reward one commenter each week with a prize. It’s going to be a cool prize and I am going to send it to you, in the mail, with my own money. All you have to do is leave a comment on ANY post from Sunday – Friday. Winner will be picked on Saturday and mail sent out Monday. Comments will be shown in the sidebar so you can see who else is hanging around, who you are up against, or make friends. After all, you already have a common one here. (I mean ME!)
You have been getting to know me for god knows how long and when you comment, I get to know you. It makes me feel more human, this is not just a dot com or a magical blog-thing that updates itself, there is a real live person here typing on keys and smiling at the camera. Also, you commenting makes me feel like I am talking to myself less. Not that i mind talking to myself or that there is anything wrong with that.
So there, The Comment Game starts NOW and everyone who comments today on any post is entered to win a prize. This contest has no end date. It will hopefully go on forever (just like my blog).
Don’t be shy. Have fun! It’s just you and me here on the internet.
BTW this is my fav song right now. Her name is Lorde and she is from NEW ZEALAND too! 🙂
We’re gearing up to start shooting the 2013 episodes of THIS: The Hot Internet Show where I cover all kinds of apps, and tips & tricks for working your way around the internet. If you have ANYTHING you would like to see me cover, please let us know! We filmed 17 episodes in 2012. Woo hoo! If you haven’t yet subscribed to the channel please do at youtube.com/coral. Help us reach a million views!
For the holidays the entire RTR Network (TV and Online shows) did a (surprise) Gangnam Style parody for our CEO Kit Redmond. It was RTR, Income Property, Mother of the Bride, BBQ Crawl and us Coral gals under the direction of Karolina, Alex and Shannon and with the instigation of Brigitte. Well done team!
Coral is a dynamic, new YouTube channel with expert hosts who inspire young women 18-34. We’re always interested in exploring advertising or sponsorship opportunities too, fill out the contact form to get connected with our sponsorship package.
Today I had a call with someone I did not know in London, UK. (So many London things lately!) I gave her business tips for her website and some things to do in the internet that can help her business. She booked a call on clarity.fm and I then I called her. We chatted for about 20 min.
The time spent chatting with Casie seemed like 5 minutes! She gave a to-do list targeted for my brand with well-thought points of the benefits and ones not worth my time for now. I got exactly what I wanted out of it. For my call, she was an expert on social media, online shopping, branding and trends.
If you ever wanna ring me and ask advice about your business, career, life, outfits, whatever, you can ring me through Clarity. It’s $1.50 a minute! Clarity was founded by Canadian entrepreneur Dan Martell last year. He had one wish for his recent birthday and to help make his wish come true, I am donating an hour of my time on Clarity this Saturday, January 5th. I’ll tweet out the link in Saturday morning and you can ring me for freeeeeeeee.
I forgot about this great lil’ vid Steve Carty shot of me this summer, it’s on my Clarity profile.
In other news, changed my Twitter header/background to this cartoon of me that was published in Walrus magazine last year. I hated that article. No press is bad press though, right? Urghhhh. Love the drawing though! THANKS GUYS 🙂

It’s nice to be back at the office.
We are planning some huge things this year.
It’s exciting.
Have been making these a bunch lately. Fun app. Easy! The lasers were at 150 Manning and so much fun. Saying ‘pink hair don’t care in the other one. I totally love having pink hair. See all mine at here. Have an awesome day!
I’m so excited for this year. New day, New Year, new everything. ♥
I did all the things on my list today in preparation for a great night. It’s been an amazing year. I’m heading to Lauren’s then to 159 Manning for what it sure to be one epic house party after another. I was going to write a post about the end of the year and stuff but I took a nap instead. Ha! I’m feeling great and will write something tomorrow as I return to regularly scheduled blogging. I am so excited for 2013. We made it past the Mayan prediction and through all kinds of things, and now truly have the ability to make our dreams come true.
Be thankful for everything inyour life, good and bad, it makes you the amazing person you are.
Have a safe and fun night.
Tell your friends you love them, call your parents if you can.
Make a promise to yourself to do something worth writing about each day.
You’ll look back and be glad you did.
Trust me.

Being home in this weather feels like a snow globe.
Glass castle in the sky.
Snow beautiful.

After being sick for the last 10 days I am finally feeling better. I’ve had cough, cold, sore throat, stomach flu, and more sleep than perhaps ever. My batteries are recharged to start the year.
I’m back in Toronto and it’s nice to be home. Holidays home with family and friends were so much fun.
Hung out w/ Dad and Skyped our family in New Zealand.
Jenie and I wore the same thing on Christmas. We are becoming more twinsey.
Mum has some reading to do.
Mega snow came but it didn’t bother anyone!
Made some robot puppets and had sushi the other night.

I was so sick this weekend. Spent yesterday in bed watching Netflix (Frida, Elf, Archer). Went to see This Is Forty last night, it was good. More sad than I thought it would be.
Made it home to Mum’s today and first thing I did was take a nap. It’s so nice to be here. I’m soaking up every minute of relaxation and listening to Christmas music. Excited to see family tomorrow and hang out with Dad. Mum and I are gonna try to watch The Hobbit this week.
I really hope this damn cough/cold is gone when I wake up. I’m sick of it!
Sending love and warm thoughts for the holidays. Merry Christmas!
<3 CASIE
It’s never ending!
Love life,
<3 CASIE
Last day of work for the year is almost over.
We had an office pizza party.
Carli brought lil’ Fig, her dog into the office.
Thanks Bacardi Canada for sending a present!
The girls on my floor and I had a gift exchange, thanks for the goodies Kathleen.
I can’t wait to sleep in tomorrow!
Cheers to the weekend! Woo hoo.
P.S Last at the Interaxon holiday party I used a MIND CONTROLLED BEEER TAP!
I know it’s not going to, but you should live out each day to the fullest cause one day it will end for y0u.
If the world was ending,
What would you wear?
What would you do?
This is your chance.
You are in this game.
You are in this movie.
The movie is your life,
And it’s live on the internet.
Wear your best.
Fine jewels.
Nice socks.
Grab your stuff and face the day like the world could end.
I hope time travel and teleporting come soon.
It’s a game.
It’s a beginning.
This is your life.

In support of Canadian talent I give props to Derek Cardigan AND Clearly Contacts is giving you a pair of these exact glasses. Deets on how to enter below!

I would like to get your order in before Friday so you get them next week! The glasses retail for $89 and can are style ‘Derek Cardigan 7017 Shadow‘.

These are my new fav headphones.

Bassbuds are shipped (from UK) and if you want to order a pair use the voucher code BB75247 to save $30.00. Get ’em here!
Have an awesome day!
I love Instagram. It made me think different. More creative. That’s why I like it. I found new, inspiring people and I like to see their photos. See how they look at life, through their lens, through a different filter. I have been publishing for about a decade and have thousands of photos on the Internet. I’ve had my smile photo used in a Facebook ad (total surprise!), a photo of me as a bot (read that story here), and TBH I don’t really mind if my fav bar wants to share my photos beside a Molson ad or on a billboard. A LOT of awesome things have happened from me sharing freely.
If you want to own everything, write a blog. If you want to create, make great things and share them. I feel like Internet years are dog years. I’ve been meeting young bloggers more lately and I feel Internet old. I’m up for a Lifetime Achievement Award for christs sake! (Thanks for the Nom guys!) I’ve found myself saying “back in the old days of blogging/social/2.0 things were/it was like [ insert something with no rules, regs, or privacy concerns].
BTW, OOTD on that old Instagram of Queen West is Overgram single photo edit x4, with Diptic collage. It’s more about what you are doing than where you are sharing it. Ok bye.
Have a great day.
