My favorite out of all these bento boxes is the first one! Those double decker hamburger bento boxes look simply delish! More »

Once again, from AnnaTheRed (click here to check out her Totoro Kyaraben), comes an adorable Ghibli-inspired bento: Ponyo!

On my very, very, very, very short list of things that irritate me is the fact that there’s a lot of hate and negativity against carbs. This is irritating because, well, what did they do to you?
