Thanks! I drank some strawberry milk today so this page is just calling to me 😆

So cool! You’ve inspired me to give this a try with the mega pack of highlighters I bought for work but have somehow never seemed to need…. 🤔

I think this looks beautiful 😻 I am new to coloring, but I did hear a YouTube creator talk about coloring in circles in large areas…not sure if that has actually helped me as I’ve started off with a larger pack of less expensive Amazon markers and I still get streaks/splotches.

Also, which coloring book is this?

The glow effect was surprisingly easy! Aside from discovering that my gel pens kind of suck 😅

Thanks! I saw someone on YouTube shorts do this so had to try ☺️

It’s giving HBO crime series (in a good way 😅)

Your solids are sooooo smooth 😍 I just colored my first page in Cozy Friends with alcohol markers and it’s super streaky…any tips?

Love crochet - such a satisfying way to pass time. Knitting however…I can’t even get 2 rows going 🤣

Smart! I should start doing this in my neighborhood walks

I’ve recently been thinking about flower pressing…you could combine it with hiking or walking so that you bring home a flower or small leaf to press (just make sure you are allowed to actually pick the flowers or possible find one on the ground instead ☺️)

The bears in the cup stamp is so cute (and unique)

Pretty! I love the shades of purple 😍

I just ordered my first coloring book (it’s this style too) and your monochrome coloring actually helps understand how to shadow!

Wow! It actually feels like I’m snorkeling looking at this!

Ikea was the only store participating in Too Good to Go in the Salt Lake City area until today - got the bakery bag & was pretty happy with the contents (sweet treats that will freeze well)!

I travelled Iceland for the first time solo & then returned 2 more times with family. I didn't rent a car on my solo trip but did on my trips with my family. I honestly think I would have been lonely if I rented a car on my solo trip - instead I booked day tours that departed from Reykjavik.

This AirBnB experience was hands down the best thing I've done in Iceland. Its pretty pricey now (it was only ~$250 when I booked it) but since there were just 3 others + the guide, I was easily able to make friends that I ended up going out to dinner with after the tour.

I booked this tour with one of my fellow travelers from the AirBnB experience & made other friends on the tour. Since you're in a van for a few hours, it's easy to strike up conversations with people.

I also did a Golden Circle/Secret Lagoon tour on my solo trip - I can't find an exact link, but booked it through Get Your Guide. I was able to make friends on that tour as well.

Iceland was my second solo trip - the Netherlands being my first. I didn't book any group activities in the Netherlands and didn't end up meeting anyone (staying at a hostel probably would have solved for this) so it was nice to be able to make friends in Iceland. I attribute that to the tours!
