Coloring is an excellent way to manage anxiety and stress. For adults, coloring has recently become a popular "therapy" because it has been shown to improve mood and lower blood pressure. Whether you are looking for a distraction or time to think, these benefits help manage your feelings about the world around you. For some people , coloring has become a form of relaxation or meditation. Coloring can help you get in touch with your creativity and imagination, while also providing structure to calm your mind. Because it is enjoyable, it can be therapeutic without forcing you into an unfamiliar ..read more

Folks may make fun, but fact is that coloring is commonly accepted as a coping mechanism to deal with stress, anxiety, and worry.  And just after an election where (seemingly) 50% of the country hates the guts of the other 50%, leave it to coloring to take us to our happy place. Jon Stewart (formerly of The Daily Show, now being blamed for Hillary losing) has somewhat sarcastically taken to coloring ... apparently. And Universities are now handing out kleenex and coloring books for students to color their fears for their future away. Not sure if that's sarcastic or not, but looks like lo ..read more

The most popular type of colored pencils are water-soluble or wax-based. But how do you know which type of pencil is best for you? Water-Soluble (Watercolor) Pencils: It is hard to deny the versatility of watercolor pencils.

When we started coloring, we started by using the markers you can find in most stores. The Bic and Sharpie sets were our favorites. Then we got introduced to the most costly markers like the Prismacolor markers and Spectrum Noir markers. We loved these markers but they were costly and for so long, we have wanted to find some artist-type markers that were more reasonably priced. Then, Mary, one of CBZ’s co-founders, went on vacation to China with friends. While she was there in Guangzhou, China, she found the Art Supply market and she tried out every one of the markers that were available for s ..read more

 Okay…Let’s get right to the point…coloring is not going to solve your issues with chronic pain…but, please believe us when we say that you can become more relaxed and actually temporarily forget about your pain and discomfort. Scientists have found that coloring quiets the amygdala, the part of the brain that gets activated when we are distressed by our pain. For people with chronic pain or illness, the great thing about adult coloring is that it can be done just about anywhere. You can color laying down, standing up or sitting. You can be in bed, at a desk, in the waiting room of your d ..read more
