Press Sample :  This means that the post may contain products that I have received for consideration to review on the blog. The compensation of product received will never influence the content, topics or posts made in this blog.

Affiliate Links : The majority of links to third-party retail websites are affiliate links via Amazon.  I only receive commission if you purchase the product through the link. It does not add any cost to you as the customer. The commission comes out of the retailer’s pocket, and the commission can range from as little as 1% to as much as 10% depending on the retailer, campaign, product type, etc. For many of our affiliates, if a product is returned, the commission is returned as well. These costs help to keep the website running. 

Sponsored post : Sponsored posts are specific posts that I have been compensated for.  I do not endorse or otherwise review products for compensation, but you will see topical content, giveaways, or advertorials.
