You might recognize travelcuts from your college or uni campus but their new home is ONLINE. The tweetup is 12-1pm on May 19th, 2015.  We’re focussing on travel to Europe and Africa, two destinations I’m yet to visit! Pop that in your calendar, prizing and details below. Here’s What You Could Win! Joining the tweetup is easy, log into Twitter and follow the hashtag #travelcuts15 and @travelcuts. We’ll be asking questions and talking about various destinations across Europe and Africa. Join the conversation and you could win the following prizes. 3 x Rough Guides Travel Books to Europe (2x) and Africa (1x) 2 x $100  travel gift cards Sharing some inspiration from the destinations we’ll be chatting about on May 19th. I’d love you to join us and share your own travel experiences and dream destinations. One of the things I always mention when friends are travelling is GET TRAVEL INSURANCE.

Get Luckee + Get Leather

This week was a busy one. Stayed in last night. There were no cabs due to the rain so I picked Em up from school in a black Lincoln town car from Uber. I had a couple credits so it wasn’t that bad! She was totes excited and I then ordered takeout for dinner. Wednesday was the opening of Susur Lee’s new spot Luckee at the Soho Met hotel. [Susur Lee selfie] Fun opening, and the food I got around to trying was great. I need to go back for a sit down dinner. I’ve done a few things with Met hotels over the years (here + here) plus Community Agency did the Luckee branding so it was great to see lots of familiar faces since we’ve all been hibernating for months. Lauren and I met SANDY COHEN. If you follow me on any other social network you’ve probably seen this already. I loved the OC so much. We were there and Laguna last summer, so much fun. My ‘Celebrity Selfie’ collection is really growing. The Rudsak sample sale is on till Sunday. I’ve worn my new jacket and used my new bag on the daily day since I picked them out Wednesday. Here’s the three items I got. Worth stopping by if you’re in the market for a new bag or leather jacket. I had a gift card to put towards my purchase so it was an even sweeter deal. Heading out to Yorkdale to use a gift card for Ted Baker I’ve been holding onto forever. Hellooo Spring! Have an awesome day 🙂 <3 CASIE Bag Jacket Shoes Rudsak Sample Sale Hours Location:60 Atlantic Avenue Liberty Village, Toronto Saturday, April 26th 10am – 5pm Sunday, April 27th 10am – 5pm

You Light Up My Life, Sunshine

I’ve had this coat for what seems like a million years. I got it at Gap when I worked at the Fairview Park Mall store during highschool. I guess it was almost a million years. Took some photos with my GoPro this morning and didn’t realize there was water droplets on the camera. Got some good news about a project this morning and as I usually do, called up Mum with a big smile on my face. She can always tell that something good happened by sound of my voice. The funny thing about this tweet is that the stupid basic pants from Zara just got a broken zipper. SO BASIC. haha. Made me laugh. Shut up Zara. #basic pic.twitter.com/dSwcq4ACgM — CASIE STEWART (@casiestewart) April 22, 2014 Tonight Lauren and I are going to a documentary about selfies, we are gonna take so many selfies. I’m pretty sure she’s in it. I remember meeting up one day and her saying ‘I was just in a movie about selfies’. Appropriate. I just ate this taco Tuesday magic for lunch. It was delicious. Here comes the sun 🙂  <3 CASIE

Post Yoga Juicing Party

I’ve been using my juicer everyday since we filmed this. At first I was like, how do I use this thing! This is my confused face haha. We did yoga then rolled up to Sasha’s house so she could give me the low down on exactly how to juice right. Once we realized how EASY it is we were ready to get started. Garret raided the market for heaps of fresh organic goodness. Look, this is us laughing! 🙂 We used lots of fresh ingredients. Try to use organic stuff but no matter what make sure you wash everything really good. In the last week I have gone through more vegetables and fruit than ever in my life. Ginger Beet Juice Recipe Ingredients: 1 medium size orange 3 kale leaves 2 medium sized Fuji apples 2 medium sized carrots 1 large beet 1 1-inch piece of peeled ginger Ice Cubes (optional) Feeling Worse Before You Feel Better This pic is some of the juices I made over the last week. One thing I learned about as a beginner is ‘Detox Headaches’. Your body finally has a chance to get rid of some of the toxins it has been holding onto, if you are like me, my liver is full of them! Which is why a liver detox is for me. Remember, your body is going through a healing and cleansing process, it can take 1-4 weeks to clean you up depending on the toxicity level in your body. Make sure you drink lots of water and don’t give up. I feel heaps better this week than last week. I would LOVE to know your fav juice recipes. Tweet me or leave a comment. I’m new at this so I’m really up for anything!

Behind The Red Carpet Trailer | A TIFF Documentary!

Last September during TIFF I filmed a documentary called Behind the Red Carpet, directed by Michelle Daides. I was pretty hush about the whole thing but now I can let the cat outta the BAG. The film is finished and the trailer is now ONLINE! My role is the blogger and in the trailer you’ll catch a funny bit about some extensions. I really can’t wait for the premiere to see what bits made the final cut. Nicholas Cage and Olivia Wilde are in it too btw. Behind the Red Carpet – Feature Documentary Behind The Red Carpet – an uncensored view into the Toronto International Film Festival…. In a world of smoke and mirrors, we expose the movers, shakers and key players who puppeteer the brightest talent and engineer the most exclusive events during one of the biggest film festivals in the world. BTRC features celebrity photographer George Pimentel, PR Maven Natasha Koifman (NKPR), Renowned Blogger Casie Stewart, Entertainment Editor of The Huffington Post (Canada) Chris Jancelewicz and Spoke Club President, Pierre Jutras as well as a slew of A-Listers from Maria Bello, Alan Cuming, Paul Haggis, Olivia Wilde, Nicholas Cage etc. If you didn’t see the trailer for the other doc I was in last year ‘It’s All About Me‘, watch it on YouTube here. It was in few film festivals last year and even won an award! Hopefully my next film is in Hollywood! A girl’s gotta dream right?! <3 CASIE
