This is a personal website and blog written and created by me. The content is original to me and my experience.
I do have Amazon affiliate links in some posts, and I earn money when people click those links and buy products that I recommend. I only recommend products I use myself. Buying products through those links does not cost a reader anything extra.
Honesty & Integrity
A core value of mine is honesty, both in my personal life and here on this site and its associated social media outlets. I do not and will not ever accept payment to endorse a product that I do not use. The views, opinions, and positions expressed on this site are mine. I will only endorse products or services that I believe, based on my expertise and experience, are worthy of an endorsement. This is my experience, and I do not claim to be an expert on any topic discussed here. Any product claim, statistic, quote, or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer or provider prior to use.
All advertisements will be marked as such.

Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
