My Thoughts:
The idea of adult coloring books is to help people have some downtime, de-stress, and simply relax. It’s something that’s gained in popularity fairly recently. My mom, sisters, and I became really interested by the concept. We found that not only is it a nice way to unwind, it’s also really fun! When I got the chance to review these coloring books, I gladly accepted. I chose A Giving Heart is particular to give to my mom. She loved it! These pages are stunning, with gorgeously detailed designs and inspiring words! It’s a thoughtful and unique gift to give on Mother’s Day or birthdays for all the special women in your life. I definitely recommend!

I have been enjoying coloring books a lot lately. I still have my Beauty and the Beast, which I love. How awesome for getting a coloring book to review, Bekah! 🙂
Bekah says
Aren’t they fun?! Ooo BatB sounds like it would be amazing. I might have to look into that for my little sister, who saw the movie in theaters about four times. 🙂
Thanks for coming by, Jess! I appreciate you. xoxo
