10 habits of a phone-aholic  +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ They're our new best friends, pocket pals, dictionaries and even study mates. With the technological world advancing and our telephonic devices becoming more and more a necessity in life, the likelihood of humans being wiped off the earth and replaced by full-functioning holograms is extremely high (not actually backed by any kind of research or study- we totally just made that up so don't take it too seriously).

  Mama and Papa went on a quick workation to the northern hemisphere and met up with some of our Matcha Mates in London! We spammed wellness & lifestyle blog, Welltodo, founder, Lauren Armes, with more questions than she's ever been asked in her life and here's how she responded +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ For the non-Londoners among us (although we've been following you even from Down Under), tell us what Welltodo is?
