I know, I know. Coloring is totally coming back. Now with all of these adult coloring books and studies being done about how its a great release for stress but I still had to try it for myself. First off, if you haven’t colored in a long time, go do it. Like do it right now! Its amazing how good you will feel. Seriously, it’s awesome and dare I say better as an adult? Yea its better.

I had the pleasure of attending a coloring party last night. That’s pretty much exactly what you would think it is. A group of friends and myself got together, ate food, had some fun drinks, talked about life, all while coloring. It was pretty amazing. I felt awesome the whole time. We had printed out coloring pages that themed our favorite things from pop culture and just got to it. I created a great piece of Harry Styles’ face using colored pencils and glitter glue. I’m seriously considering faming it. Some other pieces were of elephants, Game of Thrones, a teacup pig and fun characters from some of the best animated movies. We really created some master pieces if i do say so myself.

How does it compare? I have always been into the art thing so coloring was pretty in for me back in the day. But like i said, I think its better as an adult! First off, if you want to add other mediums you don’t need to ask your parents to get the glue for you or if you can use glitter. You just do whatever you freaking want! You want goggly eyes? Put the biggest ones you can find on there! Plus, the older you are, the better you are at staying in the lines amiright? Another thing that is great about being adult and coloring? You want to do it forever! As a kid, you might color a page and move on after 5 mins but you are in the zone and never felt more like yourself as an adult. It does help with your stress levels too. It’s really like an escape more than anything. A mini vacation for your brain and that is priceless people!

So does it still hold up? Heck yea it does! Go buy yourself some coloring books, some crayons and create until your heart is content! You won’t regret it.
