Recently I have been receiving offers from various companies, asking me to collaborate with them (in the form of affiliations) or review their products etc. Therefore I thought it was about time that I write a small disclaimer for the blog, and I wanted to explain it to my readers first. I always like to include a small disclaimer, as I don't want to hide the fact that I have been sent items. I'm not saying it is a bad thing if you don't mention it, I just prefer to be up front about those kind of things but it does get tiring having to write disclaimers out all the time.
Please also note that I don't accept every item/affiliation. I only accept those that I feel are relevant to my interests (products I want to try, or have thought of buying myself) and the blogs.

So here is what will be happening...
From now on (post 16 May 2012), if an item in a post has been provided by a company or pr agency, or it has been bought with store credit etc. I will be placing a small * next to the product/brand name. This will be an indication that I did not buy the item personally, and that it has been sent/provided to me. I will usually include a link to the website of the company/item. Before 16 May 2012, disclaimers were included in the text of the blog post, or at the bottom of the blog post. If you're curious as to who I affiliate with, you can find banners and links on the sidebar, in the bottom right.
I do write sponsored posts (as of August 2012) which means that I am being paid to write content for a company/brand, as well as sometimes being provided a product also. These kind of posts will always be declared with "This is a sponsored post" at the end of the post itself.
I will be placing a mini disclaimer about this on the right hand side alongside my image disclaimer, and I will try to write up a longer one soon. Please note that all opinions stated are my own - even if I have been sent an item by a company, my views and opinions will still remain 100% honest and my own.
I hope you will all understand my decision behind this and continue to support me in the future.
Thank you ♥
