Bento Award and Support
First is on a recent bento award and the support that I have received from the online community. Just wanted to say thank you so very much, can't describe how happy I am with all the support.
HippoMum Bento Cafe's November Sweetest Bento Award - Very popular facebook page on the cutest bentos! Very honored to be awarded their November Sweetest Bento Award. Can't wait to receive my prize :D
Recipe-Blog JP Features - The editorial department dropped me a note that my bento blog posts would be featured as Today's Choice Pick. Was really happy! :) Later on, I spotted that they also shared my bento on their FB page, happy!!!
Aquila Style Magazine - Surprisingly a writer for a Muslim based magazine wrote to me and did a feature, the article will be out soon but as it is a online paid magazine, I wont be able to share the content due to copyright issues. In any case, thanks for the support, I hope that the readers will be excited by bento making as well.
Partnership
Casabento from France, a one-stop online bento store for bento shopping :) has extended a special partnership to my bento blog since October, exciting~~
Don't worry, my bento blog remains as what it is intended, to share bento making and kawaii kyarabens (charabens).
The bonus for my readers is that I will get to review their latest products at times, get resources to organise bento classes and product giveaways! Y(o^ ^o)Y
