Content
All content is created and owned by me unless stated otherwise (for example guest blog posts, which I always credit). Please do not copy content or images without prior permission or without crediting me.
Sponsored Content
This website will accept forms of compensation and will feature sponsored content from time to time. That will include paid blog posts or reviews, sponsored giveaways or mentions of PR samples. All such posts will be clearly marked in the first paragraphs.
I feel strongly about the integrity of my blog and will personally handpick all collaborations with brands or other bloggers. The views and opinions expressed will be entirely my own as I will only endorse products and services that I truly believe in or tried myself. Not all product reviews or brand mentioned will be samples or sponsored content, as I also recommend products I love without any connection to certain companies.
Affiliate Links
I am an affiliate for several outstanding companies. I only align myself with companies that I have personal experience with and feel would be of value to the readers of this blog.
Sharayah Maurice is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for me to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
What does that mean for you?
If you make a purchase through one of my affiliate links, I will get a very small commission or referral fee at no extra cost to you. Posts containing affiliate links will be marked as such somewhere in the first paragraphs.
I only recommend products or services that I truly believe in. If you chose to make a purchase through one of my affiliate links, I want to personally thank you for supporting me and my blog.
