Welcome to my blogtastic endeavor into Bento-ing!
I'm going to guess that over the posts to come, you will get to know me well (maybe more than you care to! hah) But I will start with a brief overview of my need-to-knows and why I'm here!
Well, I'm a college aged girl living in Boston, moved to the area about a year or so ago, and can't imagine ever leaving. I grew up about an hour away from Boston, yet I feel miles away, in a good way! I love Boston, and am definitely a Boston girl, (although I promise to steer clear of any sports here, unless I decide to break that promise in playoff season muahaha) But no really, it's all bento here. Unless I decide to post some other fun stuff here too. I'm not great with the all or nothing thing, have you noticed?
I've recently just gotten into making Bento (waiting any day for my first Ichiban Kan order!! Ahh the suspense of the mailman!!) I've always tended to be one of those people that just ate cause I needed too, although I do love food. I've recently started working at a gym (my big bum is oh-so-out-of-place!) And have been reading many, many health/yoga/fitness/life magazines at my work and have realized I want to become more aware of myself and what I do with my body on a daily basis. Taking time to prepare a cute Bento, and the steps to eat it, makes me more aware of what I'm eating, and gives me more variety.
After stumbling on some AnnatheRed pictures about a month ago, I started reading and falling in love with many a bento blog (I will link to them all, promise!) So I recently purchased some great stuff and started my Bento adventure. I have some great shopping resources here in Beantown, so I'm thinking I may eventually do an online shop with some more recession friendly pricing than stuff you need to ship from Japan.
Alright, well off for now to make a dinner for myself, if it's pretty maybe I'll take a picture. I'd love to hear from all three of you that will read this, so feel free to comment!!
