Product Reviews
From time to time, I am approached to try products for review. I do love to review products under the following circumstances:
- The product is something that falls in line with what I eat/use and how we live.
- I am able to give a full, honest opinion of the product.
In other words – I don’t just try products to get “free stuff”, and I will never, ever give an opinion based on any form of free product/compensation. Any review you see on LiveSimplyEatWell.com is mine. So if I love something – I’ll let you know…and if I don’t love it? Well, I’ll be letting you know that as well!
Along these lines, all product reviews do reflect my own opinion and not that of any other person, place, store, or manufacturer.
Affiliate Links and Ads
From time to time, I share a link to an external site. Occasionally, these links contain affiliate links. This means that when you click that link and purchase an item, I receive a tiny portion of the purchase at no additional cost to you. These links allow me to slightly offset the cost of my site and the time I invest writing and researching. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
Periodically, I do allow companies to buy a sponsored ad that I feature on my site. My ad policy is strictly to products that I believe in and would use myself. I try to keep them to a minimum overall to reduce the congestion of the site.
Site Terms
From time to time I also share my thoughts on food, health, nutrition, and exercise. These thoughts and opinions are mine alone. While I do read and research the topics I write about, I’m human, and there’s always a place for error. Please note that the information on this blog is for advice only and any nutrition and fitness changes and decisions you make are your choice and should be discussed with your health care provider. By using this site, you agree to not hold me accountable for use of any information contained within. You may use the information contained here at your own risk and this site makes no promises on results of following the information that is shared.
