Let's Have a Party with Stella Artois Légère

THIS IS EXCITING!

Okay so!

Here’s what’s happening:

Stella Artois Légère has embarked on a Summer Sampling Program. Keep an eye out around Toronto, they’ve been known to pop up here and there, and they like to share (get it? Wink!)

Even better, they asked me if I would like a chance at hosting a giant Block Party in the downtown area?? Yes please!

How it works:

Toronto has been divided into chunks (Downtown, WestEnd, Yorkville/Annex, the Beach / Leslieville / Danforth, Scarbourough/Don Mills, Etobicoke/Yorkdale), and based on which area gets the most votes, that’s where they’ll throw their Block Party.

I’m representing Downtown:

1 – Liberty Village 2 – University Ave 3 – Front Street 4 – Queens Quay 5 – King Street 6 – Blue Jays Way

What we have to do to get the party downtown:

Vote on Facebook for the party to be held Downtown. Vote for “Downtown” here: Facebook.com/StellaArtoisCanada

How to vote:

STEP 1 – Go to Facebook.com/StellaArtoisCanada and click “Stella Artois Légère”

STEP 2 – Now you’ll see a voting screen.  Scroll down for the vote box on the left

STEP 3 – Choose ‘Downtown’ and tada!  Thank you!

This is NOT a contest, it’s all done by votes (because you can imagine the legal stuff surrounding a beer company throwing contests and hosting sampling sessions. Big props to @StellaArtoisCan for figuring out how ;) )

The party will be August 13 2011, and I’ll have 4 tickets to give away closer to the date.

Please vote! Wouldn’t this just be the best time?  I’d love to be able to throw a big party as a thanks for your continued reading and blog support, and I actually love Stella – we will all be winning with this.

Lastly, keep an eye out for cars and bikes like this around town, Stella Artois Légère Summer Sampling FTW!

FULL DISCLAIMER – I am being paid to promote this contest. I want you to know that. But remember when I told you about being for sale? I genuinely drink Stella, which is what I said when they approached me, so it all fits.

Hope You Had a Great Weekend, Too

Friday night game! Hooow great does the top of this blog post look.

I accidentally end up here at least once a year.

This is the Jay’s star player, Marc Rzepczynski.

I’ve never stayed longer than 4 innings.

Yes it’s busy, but our feet need these, so much stomping.

Oh get THIS!

Stella Artois asked, “want a shot at hosting a party for 200 of your pals downtown?”. YA I do!

I’ll let you know in a post tomorrow what we have to make happen, but really, if anywhere a party for such thing should happen, it’s right downtown.

First time I’ve ironed in a year and half.

It’s nice to not have to drive, sometimes.

Took a break from the internet, my phone… I hope you do that, too.  It’s important to disconnect.

Peel back the plastic and go inside.

The outfit far right I’ll wear again.

Note my fanny pack in the middle; here’s an old blog post – why I like fanny packs.

Left is a joke between Casie and I.

And here’s Casie and I at dinner last week.

For mostly my files: I had the nearest thing you can get to a perfect weekend.

Here’s to a great Monday and start to your week!! TTYT Keri xo

dermaglow and the Lightbox and NO Scent

dermaglow is a decade-old Canadian company that produces skin care products really well.

Last week they threw a party to launch their latest line, and I helped celebrate!  It was a sunny afternoon, at the top of the TIFF Lightbox, look how beautiful.

Hiya Casie!

Click here to read her post, especially the meta part, ahaha oh I love meta.

I’d love some, thanks. And it was SO good.

When have you ever heard me talk about or recommend food here…. never, exactly, THAT good. Oliver & Bonacini.

I accidentally matched the decor.

Meet Solen, Product Development Manager, the lady on the right. Her accent is so pretty, and during her presentation the Twitter stream was filled with such comments. There’s a lot of science in action; they’re inserting molecules into other ones, so the inside ones don’t touch your skin. I know.

Did you know some companies add wax? Dermoglow has no parabens, articial frangrances, dye or soap.

Yup NO SMELL. You know how I feel about smells.

Now meet founder Jerry Smith, welcome to my bloooog.

60% of their products have anti-aging agents, and they have SPF products, so important people please: remember to wear a lot of sunscreen this summer.

This is their The Essential Line – 6 core items formulated as the first step in skincare. 4 cleansers and 2 moisturizers, 3 of which ought to cover you just fine… 1 exfoliator, 1 cleanser, 1 moisturizer ($45).

I ran a test this weekend, just their stuff. Conclusion: my skin is happier, bouncier, if you will. And my skin is sensitiiiive, I have some bad stories.

Coming soon is their newly re-designed packaging, keep your eyes peeled around early fall. Minimal, white and blue, I like it ;)

It’s the Game Myst, IRL

Do you remember the computer game Myst?

It was a big deal game… oh wait wait…. it was a game changer ahahaha.

But it was, it propelled CD-ROM sales. It also really got under my skin, and remains to this day one of the few games I’ve bothered to complete.

Technically this is a water treatment plant… that washes half of Toronto’s water daily!

Did you know Toronto’s tap water is some of the best in the world? Vancouver’s is really good too.

This weekend was Doors Open Toronto, and this is the RC Harris Water Treatment Plant.

It’s neeeever open to the public (or blog girls with big smiles) … that’s why I went. Along with the whole city; parking took forEVER.

Designed in 1929 and opened in 1941, it’s applauded as Toronto’s “supreme masterwork of Art Deco building”. So beautiful, eh?!

This place is special, I’m telling you.  Go for a walk there if you ever can.

I’ve blogged about this place many times, and I filmed the episode Exploring Canadian Blogging here.

And this other time I filmed myself skipping around here in a tutu, ha.

I Took Some Heat for my Sick Photos

The ones in 3 posts back, click here, in them I’m sick with a fever. I’ve always thought they’re funnier pics like that, why always take yourself so serious?

But I do have things and stuff coming up where I suppose I should polish things up around here.

So I’m evening it out with some nice photos.

But for the record, I will always prefer photos like this.

And here’s this link to when I morphed into Butters from South Park.
