A survival guide for 80s parents: How to get 20 minutes of peace

The moment we knew

We were two restless minds, Anita and Nerea, two retro enthusiasts, and above all, two very tired women. One day,  between glasses of tinto de verano , we realized a universal truth: we were exhausted .

We were so burnt out that our "refuge" to disconnect was a book of coloring insults . Yes, literally. Coloring swear words relaxed us, but we felt like something was missing... something that would take us back to the peace we had as children, when we sat on the floor with markers and the world stopped.

There, between laughter and memories, we rediscovered color. And something magical happened: for 20 minutes, the noise faded away . There were no notifications, just the brush of the marker on the paper. That's how Pin Pon Dramas was born: from the need to change insults for the neon aesthetic of our childhood and bring it back to the 21st century.

The "drama" we all share

If you grew up with Telecupón and ate Nocilla sandwiches for a snack, you know what we're talking about:

• You're connected 24/7: Your brain has more windows open than a Windows 95 computer.
• Netflix no longer relaxes you: Watching a series while looking at your phone isn't relaxing, it's "digital noise."
• Yoga stresses you out: Trying to clear your mind makes you nervous. What you need is to do something with your hands .

Nostalgia isn't just wanting to go back; It's your brain screaming that it needs the simplicity of when we were children.

Why this works (and it's not nonsense)

We're not the only ones saying it, science says it... and I'm sure even the University of Massachusetts has a study on this! Coloring mandalas helps to lower cortisol (that dreaded stress) and naturally activates concentration.

But at Pin Pon Dramas we didn't want boring mandalas with little flowers. No way! We wanted retro neon aesthetics . We wanted that, when you opened the book, you felt like you were inside an MTV music video or in the endless field of Oliver and Benji. Because if we're going to disconnect, let it be with style and with the most vibrant colors!
