Getting Your Project Sponsored

February 21, 2019
So many comments coming in asking how to afford travel like this. One of the most important steps of making this goal of mine a reality, was to figure out how I’d be able to pay for it. Prior to this Expedition, I managed to stretch out the $2,000 I saved one summer from Lifeguarding to travel to roughly 25 countries over the span of about 2 years. Some great sites that helped me to be able to make that $2k last were: -helpx.net and workaway.info (work in exchange for accommodation and food) -couchsurfing.org (free accomodation) -statravel.com (cheap flights...

Social Media and Deception

December 29, 2018
“Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.” ― Sun Tzu, The Art of War I’ve been wanting to write this post for awhile now. Since I first downloaded Instagram in 2011, I was engulfed with the thought of sharing tidbits of my life if only with myself, as back then, I didn’t have any followers. The creative person in me was excited at the thought of editing and writing thought-provoking captions. Flash forward several years when I was living in Calabasas, California, I fell into a dark place, which, little did I know would...

Linking Depression and Science

November 12, 2018
Google “Depression”, and you’ll find this: “A mental health disorder characterized by persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing significant impairment in daily life.” Google “Cancer”, and you’ll find this: “A disease in which abnormal cells divide uncontrollably and destroy body tissue.” How about, “Mental Health Disorder”; “A wide range of conditions that affect mood, thinking, and behavior.” If Cancer has a cause, why doesn’t Depression? Better yet, why can’t we find answers to the cause when we try to educate ourselves about the mental illness that affects more than 3 million Americans every year? I became...

As a kid, I had always envisioned hosting dinner p As a kid, I had always envisioned hosting dinner parties at my place and after traveling the world, that yearning only grew more intense as I learned of various cooking techniques and indulged in worldly cuisines 🍯. Last weekend for my birthday we had some friends over and I spent my entire Saturday cooking and cleaning in preparation. We’re talking 9am-7pm, but I loved every minute of it 🤩!I’ve always challenged myself with crafting different dishes and desserts, and when friends and family would say, “Cassie don’t make something that complicated, do something easy”, I’d never listen and instead, would push the envelope (what else is new lol) 😎. Sometimes I fail, sometimes I succeed, but cooking and entertaining is my therapy 🙏🏼.On the menu this past weekend;
- 🥒Spicy cucumber margaritas with a chamoy/tajin rim
- 🌹Rose Spritz
- 🍊Classic Old Fashioned
- 🌽Polenta bites with goat cheese, butternut squash bruschetta, drizzled with honey and crushed walnuts
- 🥩Beef Tartare with pita crisps and truffle aioli (slicing that meat thin enough took ages 😂)
- 🌱Roasted veggie salad with asparagus, corn, red onion, zucchini squash and a lemon basil vinaigrette
- 🍷Cabernet
- 🍕Red/Pesto Pizza with burrata, basil and German prosciutto
- 🍕White Pizza with peaches, arugula, bacon, goat, feta and ricotta parm🎂And for dessert… a rose, cardamom, pistachio cake with a rose cream cheese frosting and edible flowers 🌸😋I’m loving cooking and hosting these days especially with my new gifted dining table set from @industrywest. I’ve got the gorgeous rustic oak Arbor Dining Table and smooth leather Marseille Chairs. So chic, so rustic, so sophisticated, and the final touches to our humble abode 🥹♥️Wearing @revolve 💃🏼

Our last hike in Banff consisted of this 4.2 mile Our last hike in Banff consisted of this 4.2 mile route with tons of switchbacks through and around Tunnel mountain. It was an incredible hike through a fairy-tale like, mossy forest with open fields and sweeping views of incredible mountain-scapes. 🏔As beautiful as it was, we also had to keep a keen eye for bears and elk the whole time. We were hiking during calving season where mother elks can be aggressive and charge at you if you come across mother and her baby. Unfortunately (yet also lucky because they’re such beautiful creatures) for us, towards the end of our hike, we came face-to-face with a mother and her baby, and were lucky enough to steer the course and create distance, but it was definitely adrenaline-inducing 🦌.Nature is wild and exhilarating, I missed being fully immersed in her, in all her glory 🌲

One regret I have on this trip is not bringing Kis One regret I have on this trip is not bringing Kish with us. He usually comes on every trip with me and has even been to Canada before. But at our first hotel of the trip we were welcomed with so many goodies including a framed photo of him 🙀. I was so ecstatic, you have no idea. The Fairmont Hotel Macdonald went above and beyond for us, and it was such a pleasure to work with them ❤️. I’ve worked with many a hotels in my day, and I’ve gotta say, the hospitality and warm welcome by Chelsea at the @fairmontmac takes the cake. She made it feel like @mrkishmere was right there with us 😻. Being a Canadian-born hotel brand, I can’t say I’m not surprised at how kind everyone was during our stay. Not to mention, the warm and inviting atmosphere, decor and amenities, including Fairmont Gold was fabulous. Should you ever find yourself in Edmonton, I’d definitely check out this place. 🇨🇦🍁#ThatFairmontFeeling #FairmontMAC #MACMemories #HostedWearing @revolve
