Hello Angels,
Do you think spending hours coloring is only for children? Think again!
I discovered adult coloring books when I was preparing thesis for my graduation from the university.The coloring books for adults were very popular that year and I was in Turkey for a summer holiday. I was working on my thesis and I was very stressfull. I needed a hobby for relax.
I bought a coloring book and while I was watching my favorite tv series, I was coloring it. It really helped me to feel better and reduce my stress.
I still have coloring book and I color it whenever I want. I made some researches about benefits of coloring for adults and I would like to share them.
