Simple, budget-friendly low-tox living—begin with one small step today
Why this matters (in one minute)
Low-tox can feel like homework: confusing terms, pricey “green” labels, and pressure to do it all at once. In the early days of this journey, overwhelm led to 6–12 months of doing nothing. That stall is exactly why the S.T.E.P.S Formula was created—to make the path smaller, kinder, and doable.
Why this book exists
S.T.E.P.S—Small, Timely, Easy, Pleasurable, Sustainable—was built to turn “where do I start?” into one next step that actually happens. No perfectionism. No all-or-nothing. Just YOUR next best move you’ll stick with.
What you’ll find inside (plain English)
A friendly, budget-aware starting point.
The S.T.E.P.S filter to run choices through in seconds.
Light, practical examples so “what now?” is clear.
How it helps when life is busy (and budgets are real)
Clarity: one decision instead of 20 tabs.
Lower costs: refills and simple swaps add up quietly.
Less stress: progress without the pressure.
One small step (do this now)
Book a 10-minute date with the PDF this weekend.
Open it, read the opening pages, and choose one everyday product to swap this fortnight (hand soap, laundry, or room scent are great starters). That’s it—one decision. No rush. No all-or-nothing.
What to expect this week
Less decision fatigue.
A small, feel-able win (lighter scent, calmer skin, clearer head).
Momentum—because tiny steps stack.
Grab your free copy of S.T.E.P.S Towards Organic Living: Non-Toxic Living on a Budget (PDF) and make low-tox living simple, gentle, and budget-friendly—one small step at a time. 🌿
