Disclosure Policy

Disclosures help build transparency between bloggers and their readers. As I always say, honesty is the best policy!… and thankfully the Federal Trade Commission {FTC} agrees! That’s why in 2009, they revised their guidelines for us bloggers in regards to endorsements, testimonials and other collaborations. Their goal (as is mine) is to protect you, the reader, from any intentionally misleading advertising that has been paid for by a group or company.

Since this blog is a source of income and may occasionally incorporate endorsements and/or testimonials, it seemed important to disclose the following to you:

The content of this blog is used as a source of income, and therefore may be used to promote products, services, or other businesses. You can trust me. I promise to only promote products/services/businesses that I have, in fact, used and believe will be beneficial to you, my readers.

I will keep it real. That means I will always give my most sincere and genuine opinion about a product or service. I pride myself on accuracy and fairness to my readers- meaning I will never bend the truth just to make a pretty penny!

Mentions of associated products/services/businesses within the content of my blog may or may not be noted as an affiliate in every reference.

Affiliate links means that I may receive a commission if you click a link and purchase a product that I have recommended. While clicking these links won’t cost you any extra money, they will help me to keep this site up and running, and more importantly, ad free!

It is my goal with this website to create and deliver interesting, helpful, and engaging content for an incredible audience like yourselves. While my priority is not in generating profit, I do find it helps to compensate for my time, research, and ideas.

I have never been a fan of having the wool pulled over my own eyes, thus I will never do that to you- I value the relationship I have with all my readers, whether or not we have a relationship outside of this blog.

Amazon Affiliate Disclosure Policy

Amazon requires a bit more specificity in their disclosure policy, so please realize: This blog is an active participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.

Again this means that I may receive a commission based on products and services I promote through this blog. Don’t worry though, you won’t be charged more for any product or service by using these links- And profits earned merely go towards creating more great content for you, the reader to enjoy! So it really is a win-win situation!
