Color Me Happy - find a new way to relax! | by Sanna Stenroos

Long before I became relaxation and meditation coach I loved to draw and color. As a wild and free kid after a long day playing outside I loved to sit down and color before going to bed. Of course then I didn’t know it was an excellent way to calm my brains down for rest and practice concentration, but I knew it made me feel good.

After having my own kids I started to color with them again to have some quiet moments with more than energetic boys and after they went to bed I catched myself coloring their coloring books around kitchen table secretly because I was way too tired to actually meditate or go for nature walk but coloring was an easy way to wind my busy mind down.

Even though coloring relaxes just like meditation, it’s nothing miraculous, but neither is meditation really. Coloring, knitting, running, surfing, horseback riding, hiking etc., same thing in a different package – all very efficient ways to give your brains a breather that enhances the feel of happiness. 



The trick is that you have to feel activity easy and pleasant. Relaxing activity should not challenge you because struggle and feel of failure causes your body to have a stress reaction. Struggle and challenge are of course also good and needed in learning process but not when you want to relax.
So if you love arts and crafts, coloring is a great way for you to relax. You can find free coloring sketches easily from internet or buy coloring books. And let me give you a great hint – you can try to relax coloring some hot men from “Hot Dudes Coloring Book” by D.C. Taylor found on Amazon.

Spring Boho Lookbook | Laura Germany

Hello people out there! My name is Laura, I am 19 years old and live in Germany. 



So now that you have the basic information, we can come to the 'fun' part. I filmed a spring/boho lookbook. It's definitely not perfect but I had so much fun filming it, so here's the video:


Outfit details:


Outfit 1:

I really love maxi skirts, because they look incredible and are also extremely comforable. I decided to style it with a white chrochet crop top I bought at Urban Outfitters and paired it with a cute rosy John Lennon sunglasses, haha. Throwed on some jewerelly and their you have it: a cute and comforable boho look.

Maxi Skirt: New look
Crop top: Urban Outfitters
Shades: Bought in Italy

Outfit 2:

You can never go wrong with something white when it comes to spring. I literally have a obssession with white clothes but well - who cares? If you throw on a cute little white dress (not black because its spring hihi) and combine it with a hat and some sandals - I choose some Birkenstocks but I know that their not everyone's cup of tea - you have a quick and easy spring outfit.

Dress: Asos
Hat: Urban Outfitters
Necklace: Asos

Outfit 3:

I would call this outfit "Netflix and Chill" because that's what I would wear on a cloudy and not so sunny sunday. Some comfy flared leggins, and again here we see my issue with white again, a white top and a laced bra because they feel just like heaven and you're ready to, well, lay in your bed and doing nothing meaningful but at least you look good!

Leggings: H&M
Top: Forever21
Bra: Urban Outfitters

Outfit 4:

This Outfit is not really Bohemian but I am also in love with Vintage dresses. I styled this around the dress and wore a overszied jeans jacket with it. To be honest I think a oversized Jeans jacket is a must have for everybody! Then a big scarf because I live in Germany and you can't call this weather spring because it has like 10 degrees outside, but whatever aaand last but not least some knee socks because they make everything look a bit more interesting and a pair of black shoes.

Vintage dress: eBay
Jeans Jacket: Asos
Shoes: Asos
Scarf: Forever21

Cheap Ways to Adventure | Katarina McEachern

Today's blog post is written by Katarina McEachern
IG: AANDFPHOTOS

Our souls crave adventure. We crave the feeling of freedom and learning new things about ourselves. Itʼs a time of reconnecting with thoughts and rediscovering who we are as individuals and what matters the most in life. Itʼs time to be still and silent in spirit while actively doing something in nature that
reveals minute details of life that are often overlooked.

Here are 5 simple yet powerful ways to adventure. At first glance, they may seem obvious and too easy, however, you will be blown away by the benefits you will receive. I dare you to try them.



1. Go for a drive 

There is nothing more freeing than driving down the road with windows open and music blaring.




2. Take a Hike 

There are nearby parks and rec areas that offer trails to hike. Go check some of them out and explore.




3. Read a book  

It may sound cliche but books are an incredible way to escape to different lands and time periods. I have recently begun reading Florence Nightingale and I find myself feeling inspired and empowered by a woman who rejected societyʼs “rules” for women during the 1800s. I try to take what I learn from books and apply it to my life. Itʼs incredible to feel a connection with past individuals who dared to be different. I feel more free and encouraged to follow my dreams and goals.




4. Go for a run  

I know this doesnʼt sound adventurous but it all depends on how you view it. Instead of hitting the gym or treadmill, find tracks or trails to run
along that keep you grounded in nature. There is something about exercising outdoors where youʼre alone and unsure of the terrain. Create a playlist with your favorite songs and allow yourself to get completely pumped. I try to split my exercise time in half. For the first part, Iʼll listen to upbeat songs and feel my speed increase. For the second half, Iʼll turn off my music and allow myself to think and meditate. I am always filled with such peace when Iʼm done. For me, itʼs a time to allow God to speak to me in the quiet and fill me with His thoughts and ideas. I always finish feeling inspired.




5. Picnic 

Pack a lunch, blanket and head out to a park or even your own backyard. Let your mind drift here and there while you bask in the beauty of the trees, birds, clouds and all that surrounds you. Taking a meal outside, instantly creates this feeling of earthy adventure.




6. Walk around Town  

Do you really know whatʼs in your town? Have you ever spent a day walking the streets (safely) and seeing whatʼs there? You may discover gems that you didnʼt even know existed just like the above photo.
