With International Women’s Day coming up on 8 March, it’s time for us ladies to get in on some great self-care tips that can help us navigate the stress that come with our daily schedules. The best part about it is that the tips come in the form of useful apps that can be easily accessed through the digital devices that we use daily, such as the Apple iPhone or the Apple Watch.
Whether you’re the go-getting boss or a busy working mum, your Apple device has got you covered with fantastic native features and apps, including third-party apps, that can easily help keep track of your health and wellbeing right from your wrist.
Here’s a closer look at what’s available.
