It’s never too late to learn a new lifestyle. At times, the energy and financial cost of switching to organic feels intimidating, but we encourage our customers to start by taking a small dive into the lifestyle change.  Dipping your toes in allows you to recognize the many benefits of choosing organic and before long, you'll be making daily decisions that benefit farmers, workers and your own family! 

With baby being one of our most notable line of products and with the knowledge of organic investing underneath our belts, we would like to share some baby steps that you can practice that can lead you to make more organic investments.

1. DO YOUR RESEARCH

It’s always best to learn as much about something before making any sort of change to your life. Thankfully, there are many official resources online that can provide you with everything you need to help you through the process of getting to that big organic investment. Here are a few that we recommend:

2. NETWORK AND MEET LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE

Support is something that is integral to any sort of the change in your life. If you feel as if you think you have no one to talk to about the small organic purchases and investments in your life, then maybe you should go out and find them… online!

There are many subreddits on Reddit, along with online groups on Facebook that can connect you to like-minded people. Finding a community that has made these sorts of purchases can help you during your journey into making your big investments.

3. IMPLEMENT YOUR SMALL LIFESTYLE “PURCHASES”

Once you have done your research online, you can now start making smaller changes to your life! Whether it be buying pieces for your wardrobe with alternative fabrics or if you’re just switching to organic toothpaste, you are now in the world of the organic living!

Research is still very big when it comes to this step as well! Make sure to read reviews of every product you purchase and make sure that what you want to spend money on is something that will become a habit if you eventually want to make the full investment. These small changes to your diet, wardrobe, or hygiene routine could turn some stones for you. The first step to change is doing it, so make sure to know it thoroughly before you do it!  

4. MAKE THAT ORGANIC INVESTMENT!

So, you’ve done your research, connect with like-minded others, and made your small organic purchases. The time has come to make that investment! Whether it be purchasing an electric car, a wardrobe terraforms, or a dietary change YOU'VE GOT THIS. The most important part to remember with any investment is that there will always be a payoff in quality as time progresses. You may not see it immediately, but this investment could sustain and carry a lifetime worth of profit. Be proud of the research, the networking, the purchasing, and your investments!
