Ghetto bento

So, I saw this on another blog, and decided to try it because, well, it's brilliant.
Bento lunches started in Japan (although they more often use sushi-type dishes), and the idea is to put all of your food in one bento box. There are also guidelines on ratios of veggies, fruits, calorie, etc... I disregard that. I'm still on the hunt for the perfect bento box (there are so many adorable ones out there-- I love these), so right now, I use glad ware. While it's pretty ghetto, it works quite well. I use silicone baking cups to separate the food, and it works out perfectly--when you put the top on the container, it touches the top of the baking cups, so everything stays in place. Here's my lunch and dinner for today:

Turkey Avocado sandwich, veggies, and wheat thins in one, and PB&J, dried apricots and trail mix in the other (healthy box + not-so-healthy box...) Yum.
Delicious, semi-nutritious, and better for the environment than using plastic bags-- everything is reuseable.
Perfect.

Fame.

Ugghhh. I hate newspaper interviews. They always pick out the least intelligent things you said and print them.

Pretty...I want one.

Cutest cosmetics case at jcrew. All the colors are adorable. Yep, I need it.

Etsy love: Tinymeat

So, I found these great passport cases from tinymeat over on etsy. Can't wait to buy one--I've been looking for a passport case ever since my brand-spankin'-new passport came in the mail a few weeks ago (my old one was only valid for five years and expired in January). Passports by themselves: not that cute. Also, they won't fit in a regular wallet. I clearly cannot go to Austria with my ugly passport just lying in my purse with no designated storage spot.

These cases are way cute, and they have a slot for your passport, your driver's license, and cash money (Dollars, Euros, you name it). Now, which one to buy...there are so many! Here are just a few:
