Giveaway: Think Pink!

I have found a whole new group of wonderful people since I have started doing bento boxes. I feel very encouraged every single day, and inspired to do more and be even more creative.

(1) Three compartment, pink bento box
(2) flower silicon reusable cups
(3) sauce bottles
(1) syringe (for filling the sauce bottles!)

"What inspires you?"

  5. Do I have to answer what inspires me to bento? Because I don't bento, but I do have three lunch cubes... I am inspired to use those because A) they're cute, and B) they're an inspired means of portion control!

    In my life, my daughter inspires me. I want to do good by her.

    Also, does it count that I am already your follower?

  8. What inspires me?

    I'm always inspired by fresh and beautiful ingredients, but I think the things that inspire me most of all, (aside from my lovely bento friends) would have to be kitchen accidents. I love it when I mess up a recipe, and then discover that it's become something completely different, or that it could be something completely different. Somehow I've always pulled through to make something equally delicious. I guess that just means that luck, inspiration and determination have combined in my favor. I am so blessed.

    P.S.: I also just followed you on twitter. (I'm @fishsyrup)

  9. What inspires me?

    Those rare moments in time when I can suspend all the self-doubt and really see myself for who I am and the impact I have (or CAN have) on others.

    The times when I take on a character and live the life of someone else to the depths of my soul...When I can see the world so clearly from their perspective it inspires me to clarify my own view and to help others see as clearly.

    Those moments as a parent when my 11 yr old (on his own) stops to hold a door open to let a woman with a stroller go first...or my daughter reads quietly to my youngest (without prompting) or my youngest randomly hugs and older person just because they needed a hug. Those moments stop me in my tracks and a voice whispers in my head...you're doing something right. THAT inspires me.

    The incredible generosity of my friends who are helping us during our move...just because I took the time to listen. That inspires and humbles me.

  11. what inspires me? travel -- either for real with my passport, or visually through the travel channel (love to see foods of other cultures). and flickr. not kidding -- so many wonderful foodies and bento artists and just plain old "livers of life" doing their thing on their, i could surf through other people's bright colors, textures, faces, places all day long. endless inspiration.

    thanks for having the contest -- i covet those flower silicone cups!

  12. For me, the price of ready meals and eating out in general inspires me to pack lunch for myself. My waistline and my wallet both benefit.

    PS. I just started following you on Twitter

    I like your virtual wind chimes!

  17. What inspires me?

    Motivation inspires me, Inspiration motivates me! For many years I have suffered with very very bad skin on my hands due to eczema. Often my fingers would be dry, cracked and sore and I dreaded the thought of housework and getting my fingers in foods to cook or clean up, due to the rash and irritation of the food or detergents on my hands. This year though has been a whole new start for me! I saw one of the Flybabies on the Flylady website mentioned her new hobby being Bento, and on the look out for a new hobby I got interested and wanted to make Charabens. Now I have found some very thin unpowdered latex gloves that I use as a "second skin" so I can get up and be creative in the kitchen! My Think Pink Bento is here

  20. I love your Bento boxes...but I am not commenting for the contest...I have to tell you...as I am reading this there is a bell that keeps jingling...both Jett and I keep asking eachother where the bell noises are coming from...Jett said "mom, are sure it's not your wine glass?" Then he said "mom, stop making jingle noises" I told him that it wasn't me...and that I did not know where the jingle sounds were coming from.. lol...I just discovered it's your blog...as I write. LMAO.
