5 Free Apps For A Healthier Life

There are so many apps out there, but a few of my favorite that I have are all centered around a healthy lifestyle. Some are about exercise and food logging, and others will help you have a healthy mind. Here are some of my favorite "healthy life" apps I have come across.

1. FitbitUnfortunately, in order to use this app, you have to have a fitbit to register. I highly recommend getting a fitbit, you can find them for relatively cheap on Amazon. This app is great because it not only tracks your steps and exercise, but also tracks your sleep, calories burned, and allows you to track your food and water. You can also challenge friends to fitness challenges.

2. Plant Nanny

I always struggle to drink enough water throughout the day because I always am forgetting. This app is so cute. You get to grow a cute little cartoon plant. Each time you drink your desired amount of water, you log it into the app and your plant gets happy. If you forget to drink water, it will send a reminder. if you keep forgetting to drink water, your plant will die. This app is a fun way to be held responsible for the amount of water you drink!

3. MyFitnessPal

If you don't have a Fitbit, this app is great to track your food intake and log exercise. It will help you stay on track of heathy eating and can help you reach your fitness goals.

4. Happify


This app will help you with stress and anxiety. Happify gives you tips and tricks to deal with any emotion you are feeling and will help you overcome negative feelings through programs and games.

5.Sworkit

Sworkit is an awesome app because it will help you learn new and fun exercises for any ability. It has workouts that require no equipment, and provides videos on how to do each exercise. You can customize a workout based on your abilities and what you wish to achieve.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
