Disclaimer

PR samples - I'm completely committed to an open and honest policy on my blog and treating my readers with respect. As of January 2013, I am implementing a clear method of flagging any products I mention which have been sent to me for review purposes. I have always endeavoured to mention in my posts whether or not the product is a sample, but now, by annotating the product details with an asterisk (*), this will enable me to consistently keep my readers informed.

This symbol (*) after any item will indicate that the product was not paid for with my own money, but was sent to me as a gifted item, PR sample, or received at an event. As always, my opinions are my own and totally honest, these will not be swayed whether I am writing about a PR sample or not.

From time to time, I will also publish sponsored posts. These might be in a form of a product promotion, giveaway or competition, and will always be marked as "Sponsored Post" at the bottom of my content. I only accept sponsored posts that I believe are fitting and in keeping with the tone and content of my blog.
