Calm Colour Create

As a child I would spend hours upon hours colouring in.  Now I have children of my own I love to help them colour in too which usually gets me some funny looks and told to get my own book.  Over the last few months I have noticed an increase of colouring books for adults which are designed to for big kids but they also have another, amazing, reason behind them.  Therapy.

Yes you read that correctly, therapy.  As someone who suffers from anxiety and panic attacks I know how important it is to divert my focus to something more productive and I must admit these books are amazing.

I was lucky enough to be sent a copy of Calm Colour Create to review and I absolutely love it.  My copy came with five different coloured pencils.  This is a monthly publication, so you get different colours every month.  

There are plenty of beautiful designs to choose from, flowers, birds and many more. You will also find blank pages for you to make and create your own masterpiece.  I have always loved to colour, paint and draw so this book really is perfect for me.

I noticed, when colouring away quite happily to myself, that I started to relax more and the time just seemed to disappear.  At one point I sat for 2 hours straight without realising. So much fun.

Priced at £4.99 a month it is a small price to pay to help relax your mind and help you feel better too.  The next issue is out on 27th August   You can connect with others who use the magazine, upload your own creations and also get ideas from other people.  You can find the Facebook page here.
