Media, PR, & Advertising Policies

Thank you for your interest in advertising with me or having your work or product featured on my blog! I appreciate that you took the time to stop by! Check out the sections below for more about me and the various types of promotion I offer.

This blog is a creative Lifestyle blog in it I feature DIY projects, fashion, family, humor, and lifestyle. My readers are people like myself, who enjoy creating their own niche and are up to the challenge of trying new things, creating something from nothing, and living life beautifully and creatively. I love sharing new ideas, products, and projects with my readers, because I love designing and creating and I can’t stop!

Reviews Only:

If you are interested in having me review your product, please send me the full-size/full-featured product for the review, along with any specific details you would like reviewed/included, and allow 4-6 weeks' turnaround time from when I receive your item to have the review posted on my blog (unless we have agreed on a specific date otherwise). If the product sent differs from what we have agreed upon, I reserve the right to refuse the review request and will return the sample product. Sample sizes are not allowed (where applicable). I am not responsible for any shipping costs and items sent COD will be refused.

My reviews include my honest thoughts, experiences, and opinions using your product. Any negative comment or recommendation for improvement will be included with my positive opinions and comments. I include extensive pictures in my reviews of those products being used. I also include information about you or your company and provide links to both your site and the particular product page (if applicable).

Should I receive a item that is defective, I will contact you before completing the review and give you the opportunity to send a functional replacement. Products used for completed reviews will not be returned.


I am always interested in reviewing products that will help people, like myself, improve their projects, their style, or to find new tools to make those projects easier and more creative.

Policies for reviews with giveaways are the same as above, with the additional stipulation that sponsors are responsible for shipping prizes directly to the winner(s), unless otherwise agreed upon by myself and the sponsor.
