🦘 Our Commitment to You
We Only Recommend What We Believe In
Every recommendation is based on personal testing, thorough research, and genuine belief that it offers value to our readers.
We Share Honest Opinions
We include both pros and cons for every recommendation. If there's a better free alternative, we'll tell you–even if it means we don't earn a commission.
We Don't Prioritise Commission Rates
We never recommend a product solely because it pays more. Our recommendations are based on what we genuinely believe will benefit you most.
We Disclose Relationships Clearly
You'll always know when you're clicking an affiliate link through clear marking with ↗ symbols and disclosure text.
Non-Affiliate Recommendations
We frequently recommend products, services, and practices that don't have affiliate programs:
- ✓ DIY solutions (like homemade cleaning products)
- ✓ Free apps and services
- ✓ Behavioral changes that don't require purchases
- ✓ Companies that don't offer affiliate programs
This demonstrates our commitment to recommending what's genuinely best for you, not what pays us.
