Colouring is not just for kids. It’s therapeutic for adults as well. According to the American Art Therapy Association, art therapy is the process of making and creating artwork to explore feelings, reconcile emotional conflicts, foster self-awareness, manage behaviour and addictions, develop social skills, improve reality orientation, reduce anxiety and increase self-esteem. Sounds more or less like mental health treatment, right? Grab your colouring pen, make your own doodle or buy one from online stores, and start giving beautiful touches to those drawings to make your day wonderful.

Staying at home to avoid the virus and flatten the curve, doing creative things to stay productive, and contributing to sustainable living at the same time. It’s like hitting three birds with one stone, right? It’s time for you to make an eco-friendly DIY project. Besides transforming your home into a “greener” space and reducing the carbon footprint, DIY projects upcycle materials from around your home and are cheaper, more convenient, and far more eco-friendly than any other craft. With those upcycled materials, you can make many things that are useful in your daily lives, such as a mason jar herb garden, a plastic hammock, or you can even produce your own natural reusable cleaning wipes.
