Frequently Asked Questions

We’re always happy to help! If you can’t find what you need, feel free to reach out—we’d love to assist you!

An affiliate link is a special URL that tracks referrals from one website to another, typically used in affiliate marketing. When someone clicks on an affiliate link and makes a purchase, the person who shared the link earns a commission. These links contain unique tracking codes to attribute sales or actions to the affiliate. For example, if a blogger shares an affiliate link to a home decor item and a reader buys it, the blogger earns a small percentage of the sale—at no extra cost to the buyer.

I’ve personally used some of these resources, while others come highly recommended by trusted colleagues and friends. I also take the time to research each product to ensure it’s something you’ll find valuable and enjoyable.

I update this list as often as possible to ensure everything is current and working properly. Sometimes products are discontinued or companies make changes, so I’ll find a suitable replacement when needed. I also keep a close eye on updated reviews and customer feedback to make sure the quality remains high. If a product no longer meets my standards, I’ll remove it or replace it with a better option. My goal is to recommend only the best resources that I truly believe will be valuable to you.

If you have any issues with your order, I highly recommend reaching out directly to the retailer or company where you made the purchase, as I’m unable to assist with orders. However, if you notice a recurring issue with a product or company, please let me know via the contact page so I can review the situation and make any necessary adjustments to my recommendations.
