Today’s post is about passion! Passion for food and a passion for what we do! According to Merriam Webster dictionary passion is “a strong liking or desire for or devotion to some activity, object or concept”. I know that sounds all official and stuff, however as I pick it apart – simplify it to a couple of power words passion means fervor (warm and steady emotion) and zeal (energetic and unflagging pursuit). You will see here, in a minute, exactly what I’m talking about.
Wondering if you've heard about the SquidClubs? Well, in a nutshell, they are Squidoo articles that feature super niche topics, each has their own theme design and club leader. Launched in April of 2010 right now there are 11 established SquidClubs with topics covering curvaceous girls, holidays, horses to food, plus much more! If you peruse through the list of well over 200 articles already designed for the clubs there is one thing very evident, these articles are jam-packed full of passion! Like a streaker running across a football field there is one club in particular, that has my full attention!
As a food lover, recipe sharer, writer, mom, photographer…everything about The Kawaii Bento Club makes me sit up and take notice. Briton, known as enslavedbyfaeries to those of us that Squidoo, turned her curiosity and desire for healthy eating first into a lens, now into a club. A club that has over 50 articles and a Facebook page all about bento!
Let me hone in on one of The Kawaii Bento Club articles that's worth our time and attention. It’s Toadstools & Snails Bento Box, designed with passion and love by enslavedbyfaeries. With personal touches about how she came up with this bento box design it includes over 25 photos and visual/written instructional step-by-steps so that you too can make this adorable, edible obento for your family. Today Briton’s article was selected for Lens of the Day and I am very honored to feature it here on Squidoo Lens Reviews too! Now scooch on over there to check Toadstools & Snails Bento Box for yourself…I know you won’t be disappointed!

ReplyDeleteWhat adorable creations, Briton is a food artist indeed and has certainly come up with the cutest club idea! Beautiful step-by-step designs too. I don't think you could have found a better way to show off SquidClubs, nor could they have found a better spokesperson -- love your style of writing that leaves me with a smile on my face. :)

I'm sure glad I have this Squidoo Lens Review to keep me plugged in to hot topics at Squidoo. Coreen, I love your "pick apart" of the definition of passion! And, yes, I will definitely "scooch on over." I love enslavedbyfairies any time of day. Thanks much!

Coreen this is a wonderful review of Briton's Toadstools and Snails. I was amazed not only with her creativity of these adorable bentos, but also with the food ingredients that were used. Very evolved from the Japanese bento lunches of my school girl days!
