I love all the products I tell you about on this site.
I do not get products for free.
I purchase all of my own products….often times I purchase 10 different products before I find the right one to share with you. This does not exactly make my hubby happy!
I genuinely have a problem and I solve it with the solutions I share with you on this blog.
This blog started as a way to share all of my research with my friends. Everyone asked for my DIY recipes and I found it easier to share them with everyone. And I decided I wanted my research to benefit as many others as possible!
Sometimes I have a few solutions for different seasons. For example, I have my FAVORITE DIY DEODORANT recipe. I now have another FAVORITE deodorant that I buy when I’m too busy to make it. That new deodorant is listed at the bottom of the blog post on my favorite DIY post. Sometimes you’ll want to make it. Sometimes you’ll want to buy it. And over the years I have found new favorites!
I have partnered with some wonderful companies that I believe in through their affiliate programs. If you make a purchase through one of the links on my site, I may receive a small commission at no cost to you.
Some of these companies have products I like and products I don’t like. I will share both. For example, I love Young Living. I love the oils. I love the diffusers. I love love love their safe titanium cookware. I love their thieves household cleaner. I do not like their hand soap. I have a favorite hand soap that I make and I don’t have an alternative through Young Living.
Not all links on my site are affiliate links. I still link to the products and places to purchase things that I’ve found and love and want to share with you.
I started my first blog in 2008 and people have tried to get me to partner with them and endorse them ever since.
Some of those affiliate companies are Amazon & Make Over your Mornings & Evenings. I also have links to some MLM businesses that I partner with: beautycounter, Norwex & Young Living. As with all products I discuss and link on my blog… I love these products. I believe in these products. I use them personally and purchase them with my own money!
If you have any questions about my affiliations, please contact me and ask. And thank you for supporting my site!

BLOG HOSTING
START WITH BLUEHOST TO HOST YOUR SITE.
I started with Bluehost at $4/month until I needed more. Then I moved to Siteground. Then to WP Engine for like 5 minutes. And now I’m with Big Scoots.
MY CURRENT HOST IS BIGSCOOTS AND I COULDN’T BE HAPPIER!
I did a ton of research as I was leaving Siteground to grow. I needed a host to grow with and to increase my speed. I was totally happy with Siteground until I grew too much and had to go to a bigger plan and started to to research. I started hearing all about Big Scoots and some trusted friends of mine told me to try them. I have been really happy with their excellent customer service!
A COUPLE OTHER HOSTING OPTIONS YOU MAY HAVE HEARED ABOUT
I UPGRADED TO SITEGROUND AFTER BLUEHOST. BUT LOOK AT BIGSCOOTS FIRST.
I WAS WITH WP ENGINE FOR ABOUT 5 MIN BEFORE I HEARD ABOUT BIG SCOOTS!
