From day one, I promised that I will never put advertisements on this website. I don’t believe in mining your data or spamming you with pop-ups or allowing retailers free access to the folks who trust in ME to deliver content to them safely.
With that being said, I do feel like my words and my wit and my ideas and my recipes are worthy of reasonable compensation – just not from you.
One of the ways I monetize my content is through affiliate links. When you make a purchase through my affiliate links, I may earn a small commission (at no extra cost to you) from those retailers. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
- I will always make it explicitly clear when I have included a link from which I may be profiting, and when items have been gifted to me in exchange for an honest review.
- I will ONLY ever share affiliate links for products I use and enjoy myself – the trust I have with you is most important to me, and I won’t be spamming you with junk just to make a buck. If I am sharing something with you, know that I love it. I will only ever partner with companies and products I believe in.
Here are some of my affiliate links:
