Disclosure

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has guidelines regarding endorsements and testimonials to protect you from misleading advertising that’s been paid for by a company. Because In My Own Style is an income source and does occasionally include endorsements and testimonials, it’s important to disclose the following:

I only endorse and promote products I trust and use for myself.

• This blog is a source of income and may be used to promote products, services, or other businesses.
• I only share and promote products/services/businesses that I have actually used and that believe could be beneficial to you.
• Affiliate links are used in some posts where I make a small percentage of each sale. This is one way I make money from blogging. It does not result in additional charges or cost you anything extra.
• Mentions of related products/services/businesses within the content of my blog may or may not be noted as an affiliate in every reference.
• Products provided to me for review are given free of charge. However, this doesn’t guarantee a positive review – I always review honestly and openly. I do not endorse or post about products I don’t believe in.
• My goal is to share my expertise and provide helpful content while generating a small profit to make a living for myself.
• I am also a paid blogger for True Value Hardware and Glidden paint blog, My Colortopia

Amazon Associates

I am a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for me to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
