Disclaimer
Affiliate Links:
I hold myself to the highest standards of integrity. Additionally, I always strive to deliver interesting, helpful, and encouraging content while generating a small profit to compensate me for my time, research, and ideas. I genuinely love and appreciate my readers and will make it my primary goal to always be up front and honest in every post that I write. In order to keep this blog up and running I have chosen to monetize my site via affiliate links and ads.
I will only share affiliate links for products that I have used, love or believe will be of benefit to my reader. When you click on an affiliate link, I do receive a small affiliate commission* should you make a purchase. Clicking on an affiliate link does not change the cost to you, the reader, in any way. Not every link in my posts will be an affiliate link. I will always share links for products, when possible, for any items that I believe will be of benefit to my readers.
