THE BEST HEALTH & WELLNESS APPS FOR YOUR APPLE WATCH (OR PHONE!)

Cute Apple Watch Bands by popular San Francisco fashion blog, Just Add Glam: image of a woman wearing a Apple watch with a gold band.

As a newer Apple Watch user, I’ve been discovering new apps for wellness and health that I have been absolutely loving. I’ve found myself becoming more accountable and tracking my lifestyle right from my wrist, so there’s definitely less room for excuses. From water drinking reminders to a minute of breathing focus every hour, I’ve found some of the greatest apps to help you crush those New Year goals. Check out my personal holy grail of wellness apps below!

Activity Circles App

The activity app that comes with the watch is great for staying accountable throughout the day. This app sends you encouraging messages every few hours to remind you to stand up, move around, and exercise. There are daily and monthly challenges to complete that win you awards and badges. I always feel so accomplished when all three of my rings are closed by the end of a busy day.

My Water & Drink Reminder

Drinking water throughout the day is so important for your body, which is why I’m obsessed with this water app. The app calculates your daily water intake and sends you reminders to drink more often. The water app also allows you to win awards for your daily water intake and offers great tips about water. If you’re interested in why I’m so passionate about drinking enough water, check out my blog on why I drink 100oz of water a day. 

Zero – Fasting Tracker

Intermittent fasting is a great way to improve your health. The zero fasting app is the world’s most popular fasting app and is amazing for tips on intermittent fasting for your personal needs. I do OMAD (one meal a day) fasting for weight loss and other health benefits. OMAD is a 4 hour eating period with a 20 hour fasting period. Use this app to find the right fasting method for you. 

Breathe

The breathe app is amazing for reminding you to focus on your breathing patterns. As the busy mama I am, it’s so easy for me to forget to relax and be mindful of my breathing. This app encourages me to set aside a few minutes each day to have my “me time” while focusing on regular breathing.

Pocket Yoga

Yoga is one of the best exercises to stretch out your body and find your inner zen. I love that the pocket yoga app has so many different flows, yoga, guided audio, and visual instructions to choose from. The app logs your yoga workouts to track your progress and also connects to the activity app to track exercise and calorie count.

Calm

The calm app offers guided meditations and stretching, breathing exercises, mindful movement sessions, and more! I honestly love this app because it reminds me how much meditation can improve my mood. I think we could all benefit from this app right now.

Gratitude Happiness Journal

This is your on-the-go gratitude journal! During the day, simply tell the app how you’re feeling and it sends you uplifting quotes for motivation. It seems so simple, but I find so much joy in getting these inspirational quotes throughout the day and I really think you will too. 

Cardiogram

Managing a steady heart rate is so much more important than we realize, which is why I really value this free heart rate tracker. Cardiogram shows you how well your heart is working over time. The app uses the data it finds to tell you how your heart reacts to different foods, exercises, and more.

I think about this ALL. THE. TIME. ✨ I think about this ALL. THE. TIME. ✨
✨ Harrison Finnley Michaels 12/8/2019 ✨ Three ✨ Harrison Finnley Michaels 12/8/2019 ✨
Three months with this little guy and our worlds are rocked. He’s gone from just opening his eyes to rolling over, pushing himself up, grabbing at toys (and my phone as I type this out). He loves to laugh and talk in his baby language all day long 🤣 and sleeps all through the night 🙌🏼 How did we get so blessed with him?! @kmichaels216
Wedding Bells 💍 We are finally diving into some Wedding Bells 💍
We are finally diving into some wedding planning after our engagement last year and not going to lie, it’s overwhelming! We are super laid back and are looking for something small to celebrate. For me, this day isn’t about a big, fancy dress, or hundreds of guests to entertain. It’s about spending time with Kevin and I together committing our lives to one another. I was recommended to check out @shutterfly’s The Wedding Shop and mocked up an invite in this beautiful botanical print perfectly personalized to us and our style. Love our custom candle (smells so good!) and champagne flutes too! Check out my stories for more behind the scenes of unpacking our wedding items and some close ups! #MyShutterfly (ad)
CATCHING UP, what do you have going on this week? CATCHING UP, what do you have going on this week?
• This morning I had an eye exam to check my contacts / glasses Rx. I shared new glasses on Stories but turns out the Rx was wrong in them. I’m TRYING to wear my glasses more around the house and splurged on a pair from @ysl hoping that would help me do it 🤣🤓
• I haven’t been a big concealer wearer but I’ve been testing out the @urbandecaycosmetics naked concealer and have been liking how light it feels on my skin (I’m wearing it here, dress is new from @urbanoutfitters!)
• A work-related project this week—I’m trying to get my inbox of 700 emails down to zero. My problem is that I’ll get an email with some great piece of info in it and think “oh this is great! I can’t work on this right now but I’ll save for when I can” and I mark it unread. Well over time that has added up to 700 😬 I’m thinking of tackling it by sorting through and noting down whatever idea it is in my notebook (paper planner for LIFE! 📒) to reference it and have them all in one place. Maybe this will work!
• I’m currently sitting here watching this little baby sleep and the whole “I want to eat this baby” thing is SO REAL. What is it about babies where it makes us say that?!? He loves his @bibs_usa and @mushie_co!
• I’m considering cutting 3-4 inches from my hair....but here’s the kicker...I have this weird urge to DO IT MYSELF. Maybe I don’t want to put it off until I can get an appointment but I just want to cut it now. Please you guys, talk me out of doing this with scissors in the bathroom 🤣✂️
• Kevin and I have been binge watching @abcscandal and it’s SO ADDICTING. If you haven’t watched it, join us on Netflix but don’t blame me when you’re 2 episodes past your bedtime 😜 we are currently on season 4 of 7!
• WHAT ARE YOU UP TO THIS WEEK???
NEW MOM FASHION AND BEAUTY HACKS: 💁🏼‍♀️
1️⃣ Style your hair once ride that beautiful hair through the week with minimal effort. I use the @t3micro curling wand on day 1 fresh hair to put a little curl in it. On days 2-4 I use dry shampoo—my favorite is @livingproofinc to soak up oil, and then on days 5+ when dry shampoo doesn’t cut it anymore I throw on a cute beanie
2️⃣ Still trying to “bounce back” (whatever that means...) after baby? Same mama, same. @spanx leather-look leggings suck it all in and help as a postpartum support during healing. Win win!
3️⃣ Duster coats are the ONLY thing I want to wear. Not only do they keep you cozy as we wait for spring, but having pockets is NECESSARY for me. Phone in one, pacifier in another, and whatever other random things I need to bring with me when my arms are full with a baby
4️⃣ Lots of undereye concealer for that 8 hours of sleep look. @tartecosmetics shape tape is a favorite but I’ve been testing out @urbandecaycosmetics stay naked concealer and really like it for more natural coverage
MAMAS, WEIGH IN: What are you mom fashion and beauty hacks?! #newmomhacks
Our morning walk ritual ☺️ It’s still been a Our morning walk ritual ☺️
It’s still been a bit chilly out in the mornings but that doesn’t stop us from bundling up (in matching hats no less!) and going for a walk around our neighborhood. Baby carrying is a wonderful thing once you get the hang of it! I love how it gives you a bit of a workout with the added weight of a baby (Harrison is 11lbs now!) and gives them a chance to look around with a different view than the stroller. I can’t wait until he’s big enough to be front facing and then he can really look out at the world. I’ve been using the @nuna_usa @potterybarnkids CUDL carrier (this fabric is the broken arrow caviar) and my favorite feature are the magnetic clips that automatically snap into place to hold baby snugly. #lovemypbk
