Product Review Policy
As a disabled folk artist and author, I frequently create blog posts that highlight my favorite products, whether for crafting and creating or for navigating life with hidden disabilities.
My blog posts may contain affiliate links to sites like Amazon or directly to the brands I’m discussing. My intention is to convey this information in a way that is fun and engaging.
The income I earn through content creation, blogging, affiliate marketing, and product reviews helps supplement my Social Security Disability benefits. It’s important to me that I only recommend products or services that I have personally tried and enjoyed. I do not accept payment for my reviews. Simply put, if I haven’t used a product and appreciated it, I won’t endorse it to you.

But I *am responsible for vitality, and it is ultimately up to me whether or not I pursue and achieve the best possible quality of life.”
