My favorite hobbies for screen break time 👩🏻‍💻🎨
Working from home has put so much strain on my eyes lately and I’ve had to seek hobbies that don’t include a screen 😅 My go-to hobby is (or was) gaming but my eyes couldn’t take it anymore LOL I’ve been loving lately word search books, coloring books, journaling, doodling, and building legos.
