Whether you love it or hate it, technology has improved modern mans life in more ways than one.
It’s a fact that on average we spend around 2 hours per day glued to our screens! Whether that be scrolling through our Instagram feeds, catching up on the latest news or chatting with friends and family.
There’s also an endless parade of apps to download to suit your personality and lifestyle. It seems these days there’s an app for just about anything – from skincare to fashion to cars.
Here are my top pics for apps to help with your own journey and most importantly reach those goals!
