Policies
Advertising Policy: Any advertisements, advertorials, sponsored content, or similar materials will be clearly marked as advertising content and do not reflect the opinions of the Blog or its Authors.
Editorial Policy: Editorial content is written by the Author based on personal experience, opinion, research, and results. It is not influenced by advertisers, affiliates, public relation firms, brands, or other individuals unless otherwise noted. Press samples submitted for review are for consideration only, and the Blog and its Author do not provide any guarantee of a favorable or unfavorable review. The Blog does not accept financial compensation for reviews.
Review & Affiliate Policy: Pertinent disclosures will be included at the top of each post. The Blog uses labels such as “Affiliate Link,” “Sample,” and “Sponsored” to provide transparency. Affiliate links are used for most third-party retail websites, and the Blog earns a commission if you purchase products through these links. This commission does not add any cost to you as the customer, as it comes out of the retailer’s pocket. The Blog is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. Sample disclosures indicate that brands send products for consideration, and the Blog decides whether to include them based on their own judgment. The Blog does not accept compensation for product reviews. Sponsored posts are specific posts for which the Blog has received compensation, sometimes in the form of prizes or financial compensation for exposure. All reviews are based on the Author’s personal experience and are not influenced by third parties. The Blog reviews products and brands thoroughly, including areas that could be improved. The Blog does not make changes to the character of its reviews, except for fact-based changes that do not impact the opinion but provide accurate information.
Comment Policy: Comments that do not contribute to the conversation, contain advertising, off-site links, spam, or go off-topic may be edited, moved, or deleted. Personal attacks, trolling comments, and insults are not permitted. Constructive, helpful, and insightful comments that add value to the conversation are encouraged. Self-promotion and promotion of other services or websites may be deleted depending on the context. Violation of the Comment Policy may result in limited or blocked access to the blog.
