The adult coloring book craze is becoming an international phenomenon. Six of the top 20 selling books on Amazon are adult coloring books!

Coloring allows you to unlock your creative potential, relieves tension and reminds you of simpler times in your life. It also allows you to focus and let go of any subconscious thoughts that are blocking your energy. Here are a few great benefits of coloring:

1. It helps you unwind and de-stress by providing a tremendous amount of calm which can affect your mood, energy and sleep quality.

2. It stimulates your right-brain and helps you think more clearly by expressing your creative side. It helps you think outside the box which will help you generate new ideas.

3. It's a great activity to share with friends and family. I love spending an evening with my best girlfriends, a glass of wine and some coloring books and crayons. It opens up our conversations and allows us to bond in a whole new way.

Grab yourself a coloring book and a box of crayons and get to work! When you're done and you have lots of beautiful pages, check out some great crafting ideas!
