Product Review Policy
As a folk artist and author living with a myriad of hidden disabilities, I frequently write blog posts highlighting 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. I intend to convey this information in a fun and engaging way.
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.”
