Advertising and Policies

If you are interested in an ad, product review, or other sponsorship, please contact me on my About page or at megan [dot] sullivan [at] gmail [dot] com.

Disclosure Policy

From time to time, I review products.  When the product is provided to me by another company in return for the review or compensation, I always disclose that.  Sometimes I review products that I have no affiliation with, simply because I want to share my love of those products.

My reviews are always honest. While I love blogging, I have a full-time job and am not doing this to make money.  I’m doing it because I like talking and my friends are getting sick of listening to me.  If I receive a product that I don’t like, I will make that clear in the review that I write.
