![]() It seems like more and more expectant parents are making a conscious effort to make more environmentally friendly choices in regards to parenting styles.With so many revelations being made about the potential harm found lurking in everyday products like diapers, bath and body products, and even in our foods, it's really no surprise that more people are choosing to go a more natural route. So many products contain these hazards in the form of pesticides, chemicals, preservatives, and GMO's. While this is something most people usually never even think about, they have been linked to potential adverse effects, and science is discovering more and more about them every day. The best way to avoid these issues? Go organic! Sure, some may call green parents things like "hippies" or "tree-huggers".Trust me, I know all about the stereotypes that green families are labeled with. I cloth diaper, use organic bath and body care products, eat organic, locally sourced food whenever possible, and I use naturally based household products. I even have a tie-dye purse. So of course, some people tend to assume that I am living in the wrong decade and I belong at Woodstock, singing Kumbayah and smoking a suspicious green substance! I must admit, I am not a hippie. I don't drive a hybrid, and I wouldn't ever hug a tree, since I know they're crawling with bugs. I am not a vegetarian, and I shave my legs and armpits, and deodorant is my friend. That's the funny thing about stereotypes. They tend to be completely misleading. A lot of people assume that organic products are not as effective as their traditional counterparts. I used to think that, too....Until I tried them! I never really thought about going green until I was pregnant with my now 2 and a half year old, Sophie. During my pregnancy, I did a ton of research on the best products for babies. I was shocked by how many natural and organic products were available, and also by how much people seemed to love them! That's how my love affair with going green began. I have used several different products from many, many natural companies. Once I went green, I never looked back. It's something I feel good about as a parent, since I know I am exposing my children only to pure, natural ingredients as well as teaching them to respect the Earth we call home. If you're the parent of a little one or even heading to a baby shower, I have some great, organic gift ideas that I highly recommend from an online store called Nature's Basin.

Baby's first locks need something mild and natural to keep them clean, and this olive oil and wheat protein based natural hair care baby shampoo is an ideal choice. With Chilean soap bark added for a good lather, it contains no harsh sulfate detergents or chemicals you'd prefer to keep away from baby. Scented with Erbaviva's delicate mix of lavender and roman chamomile essential oils, this natural hair care product baby shampoo is safe on sensitive skin. But you'll find it works for the whole family-not just for your little one. I absolutely love the crisp, herbal scent of this shampoo. It's very relaxing and leaves my toddlers' hair soft, shiny, and smelling delicious! The shampoo isn't very thick, but don't let that fool you. It lathers beautifully and a little bit goes a very long way! I also noticed that the Erbaviva Baby Shampoo doesn't leave behind any nasty residues, rinses away cleanly and quickly, and has not irritated my babies' eyes. I also love the bottle! I know, this sounds silly...But the cute baby on the front and the sophisticated colors in the packaging give this baby shampoo an upscale, spa-like feel. Even babies deserve luxury, and with Erbaviva, they definitely get their share! Overall, I love the Erbaviva line of products available at Nature's Basin. They're effective, luxurious, and best of all, they're made from only the finest organic ingredients. I would definitely recommend Nature's Basin for all of your natural care needs. They're absolutely fantastic, and sure to make a lasting impression. Perhaps they'll even change the way you look at going green! Oh, I should also mention that in addition to baby care products, Nature's Basin also carries some wonderful looking cosmetics, skin care products, and even products for men!
