20 Biggest Trends That Have Defined 2020 (4 of 4)

DNA Travel

DNA tests have become far more sophisticated over the years with sites like Ancestry and 23andMe who provide an at-home genetic testing kit. Because of these leaps, it’s easier these days to find familial roots.

But people are going one step further and using that information to inspire their travels. The idea about these travels is to jump from place to place to learn more about their heritage and even connect with distant relatives in person if they get the chance.

Baby Products That Focus On The Brain

As more people are taking the step to being parents, there have been a number of companies working on products to help drive your baby’s mentality in a healthy way. An example of this is Lovevery: a brand known for their play mats and kits, these products are designed to help newborns and toddlers learn through each phase of their growth.

On top of that, many of these products are environmentally conscious too. Take Monti Kids, a company that sends Motessori toys to parents for their children every three months. The products they send over are age-appropriate and are made from sustainably forested wood. On top of that, their toys nurture growth from birth up to the age of 3.

Baby food also has been taking steps in this area as well with some companies offering brain-boosting foods that are also organic and low-sugar.

Rise Of Streaming

As Netflix rose in popularity over the previous years, many other companies have entered the ring. These days you have a choice between dozens of streaming services.

Bringing Out The Disposable Cameras

Thought to be long forgotten, there was a spike in search results of where to buy disposable cameras and develop the film of over 150 percent since 2018. The reason for this is that the younger generations are much more fascinated by these devices, rather than settling with smartphone cameras.

Perhaps, it’s due to the authenticity, since disposable camera pictures are so grainy and potentially imperfect. Nevertheless, this is now a trend as Gigi Hadid was touting a retro camera into fashion shows during the 2019 Met Gala. She’s even opened a new Instagram account to show off all the pictures she’s taken through this disposable camera. This has been the case with several other individuals. Of note is the actress Diana Silvers and Youtuber David Dobrik.

Collagen Supplements

One of the biggest staples to wellness food is the collagen supplement. That said, it’s evolved a lot over the past several years. Before it used to be powders, but now many food brands are using collagen as the main ingredient in many snacks. This includes nut butters, marshmallows, snack bars, and even popcorn. If you’re looking for additional health boosts, you can try collagen-infused beverages from Vital Protein or SkinTē.

For those not familiar with collagen, it’s the most abundant protein in the human body.

Think of it as the glue that’s keeping everything together. By having more collagen, you’re helping yourself by combating aging while boosting hair growth and bone health.

That said, the effectiveness of all of it is still up for debate.
