About
A small business born from a passion for wellbeing, creativity, and the simple joy of picking up a pencil.
Our Story
“I started Coloring Me Happy because I believed something simple — that coloring your own memories could genuinely make people feel better.”
Coloring Me Happy was founded by a registered nurse with a background in public health and a love for travel. After years of working in hospitals and pressured environments, an idea took shape: what if a coloring book wasn’t just a generic collection of patterns, but something deeply personal — filled with the faces, places, and moments that matter most to you?
As a public health professional, the connection between creative activity and health outcomes was never far from mind. The research is clear and compelling: coloring reduces anxiety, sharpens focus, and brings people together. Combining that knowledge with a love of art and a desire to support the communities she’d spent her career serving, Coloring Me Happy was born.
Today, Coloring Me Happy is a proudly small, independent business. Every book is crafted with care, and every order sent with the genuine hope that it brings a little more color — and calm — into your day.
Our Mission
At Coloring Me Happy, we believe that wellbeing shouldn’t be complicated or expensive. We exist to make meaningful, health-promoting creativity accessible to everyone — one personalized page at a time. When you color your own memories, you’re not just filling in lines. You’re practicing mindfulness, celebrating your story, and investing in your health.
The Benefits of Coloring
Reduces Stress & Anxiety
Coloring activates the brain’s relaxation response, lowering cortisol levels and calming the nervous system — much like meditation. The focused, repetitive motion helps quiet anxious thoughts and bring you into the present moment.
Improves Focus & Mindfulness
Engaging with color and form draws both brain hemispheres into gentle concentration. This state of relaxed focus — sometimes called a “flow state” — is associated with improved mood, sharper attention, and a natural break from screen fatigue.
Boosts Mood & Self-Esteem
Completing a page — especially one filled with your own cherished memories — gives a genuine sense of accomplishment. Creative expression is linked to higher self-esteem, positive emotion, and a greater sense of personal identity.
Supports Better Sleep
Unlike screens, coloring is a screen-free wind-down activity that signals to the brain that it’s time to slow down. Even 20 minutes of coloring before bed can ease the transition into restful sleep by reducing mental stimulation.
Builds Connection & Community
Coloring is a wonderful shared activity. Whether it’s a grandparent and grandchild working through the same book, a group of friends coloring together, or a care home activity, shared coloring creates conversation, laughter, and connection across generations.
Supports Cognitive Health
For older adults in particular, regular creative activity is associated with maintained cognitive function and a reduced risk of cognitive decline. Coloring keeps the hands nimble, the eyes engaged, and the mind actively processing color, shape, and memory.
