We are talking self care today not just for general health but specifically for your mental health. I wanted to share a self care activity I have been doing for my mental health for awhile now. It’s not new if you have been around here or have found me via my instagram that I struggle with my mental health. I am passionate about talking about self care for moms especially moms who struggle with their mental health. So I am beyond excited to share about a new partnership that shares the same passion.
I have recently been gifted some products from ColorIt, an adult coloring company, that prides themselves on providing great quality products that other adult coloring companies were lacking. And now that I have been using their products for a few weeks…I could not agree more. But before I get into my review, I want to touch on how coloring has made a positive impact for my mental health.
I have been coloring for my mental health for quite a long time now but stopped once I had kiddos. Then when things got pretty bad with my mental health, I decided it was time to pick it up again. Coloring is a huge tool I use not only for self care because it brings me joy but it is also so beneficial for my mental health. I typically do it during my boys quiet /nap time and/or after I put them to bed. I will either listen to meditation music, podcast, or playlists on Spotify. Then I start coloring away.

The Benefits Of Coloring For Adults For Your Mental Health
It relaxes my body but more importantly my mind. It helps take myself out of my head and directs my focus to coloring. It brings me so much peace. Not to mention, I love that it allows me to be creative and artistic. I love the sense of control it gives me. I get to pick and choose what I colors I want to use. It also gives me a sense of accomplishment when I finish it. It’s a form of meditation for me and is something I love doing as often as I can especially when anxiety gets bad.
So now you know the reasons I color for my mental health, the benefits of it and why you need to add this self care activity to your mental health tool kit. Let’s get into my review of Colorit.
Review Of Colorit: An Amazing Self Care Activity
They sent me two coloring books and their coloring pencils and markers. I have used a bunch of difference coloring books and markers since I have been coloring. So I feel pretty confident when I say that their quality is top notch.
ColorIt Adult Coloring Books
Their adult coloring books are hardback and spiraled which I love because I don’t have to worry about the book closing on me. In the past, I would have to put something on the page to hold the coloring book open which was frustrating. The drawings in the two coloring books are beautiful drawings. They inspire me and motivate me to want to color even more.
I also love that some drawings are so meticulous which intimated me at first but once I started, it was the most relaxed I have been. Because I really had to focus to keep the color in the lines. It made my brain happy to say the least. And the paper is nice and thick so when I used the markers, they didn’t bleed onto the next paper. I like to keep the pages in the book but you can rip the page out and color it out of the book, too. Which is a nice option.
ColorIt Markers
The markers are amazing and the best markers I have ever used (and I have used A LOT). There are two sides to the marker (thin and thick) which is a must. It colors so nicely that I almost feel like I am painting. And if you want the color darker, you can go over it again and it makes it darker which I haven’t had before. The 60 marker set they sent me comes in a box which keeps things organized which is a game changer for me because I used to have my markers all in a ziplock bag. It is so nice having a place for them where I can easily see all the colors, pull them out and put them back without making a mess and losing markers.
ColorIt Coloring Pencils
The coloring pencils they sent me came in a fancy zip up case which again make my heart so happy. The coloring pencils are displayed beautifully. It also came with a pencil sharpener. They color vibrantly and don’t break easily which has been a biggest pet peeve of mine when it comes to coloring pencils. There are so many different colors, all different types of shades for both the markers and coloring pencils.
In Conclusion
Needless to say, I absolutely love their products not only for their quality but their organization for all the markers and pencils. And I cannot wait to get more of their coloring books. So if you need a new self care activity for your mental health and/or you are in the new mark for an adult coloring book, then I 10/10 recommend you check our their products here on their website. I promise coloring will help tremendously for your mental health. It increases that serotonin and helps still your mind.
