I maintain full editorial control of this blog at ALL times. This blog is a personal blog written and edited by me. I write for my own purposes. However, I may be influenced by my background, occupation, political affiliation, or experience. I am just one opinionated gal, this is my space, so I can do that.
I am sometimes compensated to provide opinions on products, services, websites, and various other topics. Even though I may receive compensation for my posts, I always give my honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences on those topics or products. The views and opinions expressed on this blog are purely my own. The compensation received will never influence the content, topics, or posts made in this blog. I choose products that I would use in the course of my day-to-day life, products I would buy, and I express my opinion in an honest manner. If I start reviewing Harlequin romances, fashion products, or the latest gospel album, you will know I have hit my head and you should be worried.
There may be affiliate links in the content or in the sidebar. Any product that I link to are products I would buy myself (or have bought).
This blog does not contain any content which might present a conflict of interest. Views expressed here are mine alone and do not reflect those of anyone else.
If I am talking about something that is not on the list above, that means I bought it, paid for it, etc. I give my opinion on a lot of things because that is my nature! (P.S. If you have a blog, you should be aware of this.)
