Affiliate and Referral Links
This blog features some affiliate links for products that I love or think will be useful for you. That means I may receive a small commission if you make a purchase after clicking a product link. There is no extra cost to you if you choose to make a purchase through one of the affiliate links. You are not obligated to click on any link or buy any products that are advertised. I believe in honesty and integrity and the affiliate programs do not dictate what I choose to share in my posts. I do sincerely appreciate any support that you give to this blog! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Affiliate programs and affiliations include, but are not limited to, the following:
Amazon: As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. You may review Amazon’s Privacy Notice here.
Collective Voice: I am an affiliate of various merchants through Collective Voice and may earn commissions from sales made through product links. Merchants in this program include Nordstrom, Sephora, Target, Lululemon, Shopbop, Macy’s and other well-known retailers.
Collective Voice, formerly ShopStyle Collective, is a creator monetization platform that helps creators get the most from their content. They transitioned from ShopStyle Collective to Collective Voice to better represent the creator voices using the platform and their evolving needs. We are evolving, together.
