From scrolling to stillness: How I changed my bedtime routine

We all want better sleep - but most of us do the exact opposite of what helps. My nights used to end with a screen in my face, a racing mind, and growing frustration. I knew I needed a change, but I didn’t expect it to come from something so simple - and so close to home. Here’s how I went from endless scrolling to a bedtime routine that actually helps me sleep.

Breathe in, color out.

A few thoughts on how to survive this stressful time and how mindful coloring can help you find your inner Zen.

Carolina Marando

“I really like to convey positive messages and being able to mix them with a magical tint.”

Fabulous types and good vibes are how we would describe Carolina Marando’s art. This passionate designer and typographer from Buenos Aires with an admirable portfolio, which includes The Washington Post, Hallmark Cards, the Disney Channel, and the Cartoon Network, joined Lake last November with a coloring book full of magical thoughts and uplifting spells reflecting her positivism and firm belief in silver linings. This time we spoke about her career, Harry Potter, cats and life in the time of corona.

Let it all be full of Winter Magic!

The most wonderful time of year is just around the corner. And this time, more than ever, we want to sprinkle it with all the cheer, joy, and calm that coloring can bring to your hearts. So we’ve prepared a little something for you.

Sarah Holliday is an aspiring Scottish illustrator and animator with a great love for lively colors, quirky characters, and whimsical scenes evoking good vibes only.

Alina Drozdova

“I strongly believe you will reach your stars, and so should you.”

Russian artist Alina Drozdova joined Lake in the beginning of 2019 with an inspirational coloring book titled “Girls Can Do Anything”. It was an homage to all the potential and possibilities women of the world carry within, and her message still resonates strongly with our users. She is now adding a new chapter to her story with another woman-centered coloring book titled “Ad Astra”, but this time she found her inspiration in constellations and mythology and created her own kind of stellar goddess.

Desti

“It has been a fascinating journey.”

Desti is a freelance illustrator living and creating in Singapore, also known as the Lion City. Growing up under the strong influence of Japanese anime and manga, Desti turned to art and is now a professional illustrator drawing with Collateral Damage Studios. Not a pioneer when it comes to creating coloring books, she joined our artist family with her gentle and charming coloring story about magical little creatures you really need to meet! But before heading on a coloring journey with “Little Creatures, Big Adventures”, meet Desti first.
