Affiliate links can take many forms including Amazon affiliate links, product placement, sponsored posts and other product affiliate links.
If a post is sponsored by a company, I will disclose this clearly in the beginning of the post. Where I use Amazon & other affiliate links for product recommendations, I will include a link to this post, or put (affiliate link) in the post.
NOTE: I only recommend products I use myself or that I would recommend for my family & friends.
