Hoping to read more this year?

Borrowbox is ideal for incorporating a little more literature into your day!

It’s an app connected to Irish libraries that has thousands of books, magazines, journals and audiobooks on offer to borrow.

A few pages on your daily commute each day, and by 2025 you’ll be a bonafide bookworm.

Plant Nanny

Plant Nanny is the most adorable app out there for reminding you to keep hydrated!

The app motivates you to drink by giving you little plants to take care of. You log your water intake each day, and in turn your plants get hydrated too.

If you don’t drink your water – your plant pets will suffer!

Too cute.
