The vast majority of the time when I link to a product or service it will be an affiliate link. If I’m speaking badly of something or it’s something I don’t feel great about, I won’t, but I do use affiliate links when speaking of products that I myself own and love or products that are currently on my wish list. It’s my hope that readers will choose to buy through an affiliate link and thus keep me in hair dye and cat food, but obviously it’s entirely up to you!
