This can improve sleep and fatigue while decreasing body aches, heart rate, respiration, and feelings of depression and anxiety.”
So yeah, coloring is no longer just for eight-year-olds with sparkly Lisa Frank folders. Welcome to the adult section (and no, not that one). We’re talking intricate patterns, profanity-laced pages, and nostalgia-packed designs that’ll make you feel like a kid again… almost.
