Embracing Small Moments in Color: A Review of Girl Errands – Beauty Supply Run
As a lover of all things cozy and colorful, I was thrilled to stumble upon Girl Errands – Beauty Supply Run by Nyah Nycole. Instantly captivated by the cover, I felt a pull not just to explore the pages, but to relive those cherished rituals of self-care that resonate particularly within the Black community. This coloring book transcends a mere pastime; it’s a celebration of culture, beauty, and the sacred spaces we create in our daily lives.
From the moment I flipped through its pages, I recognized the familiar sights of beauty supply stores: vibrant lip glosses, bold wigs, and those trusty edge control jars. Nyah paints these experiences as not merely errands but as moments of joy and self-expression. Each of the 35 illustrations—18 full scenes and 17 bold images—invites you to capture the essence of those little errands that mean so much. With every swing of the coloring pencil, I found myself not only engaged in a therapeutic activity but also reflecting on my own nostalgic experiences.
One of the book’s most striking qualities is its perfect blend of humor and heartfelt affirmations sprinkled throughout. The affirmations resonate deeply, reminding us that these are "main character moments." It was a delight to find phrases that spoke directly to my experiences, affirming the importance of self-love and joy in our routines. As I colored, I found solace in the simple truth that such rituals are worthy of celebration—something that Nyah articulates beautifully.
The book’s structure enhances its charm. The single-sided pages are crafted with quality in mind, allowing me to use my favorite gel pens without the fear of bleed-through. This attention to detail made the experience all the more enjoyable—the thrill of choosing colors felt like a statement of identity on every page.
Readers have echoed similar sentiments, praising the easy-to-color designs and relatable content. One review resonated with me: “This coloring book is a 10/10 highly recommend! It brings back so many good memories of getting my hair done and moments spent in beauty supply growing up.” It perfectly encapsulates what this book does—it captures nostalgia while creating space for reflection.
As I reached the final pages, I couldn’t help but think about who this book would touch. It’s perfect for Black women and girls, but its universal themes of self-care and celebration of culture make it a delightful gift for anyone looking to foster joy and relaxation in their lives.
In closing, Girl Errands – Beauty Supply Run isn’t just a coloring book—it’s a love letter to the small yet significant moments that shape who we are. It’s a warm invitation to slow down, color with intention, and embrace the beauty of our everyday rituals. I left the experience feeling uplifted and seen, ready to pick up my coloring tools and bring more color into my life. If you seek a cozy escape filled with rich culture and affirmations, this book is waiting to share its vibrant joy with you.
