HOBBIES/INTERESTS?

Music, gigs, playing, and fashion.

WHAT DO YOU USE YOUR PHONE FOR MOST?

Social media, emails and listening to music.

ANY APP YOU LOVE THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?

Pocket for saving articles to read later, and I really love Flipboard, so I can browse the internet like a magazine.

BEST CHRISTMAS PRESSIE EVER?
