Disclosure

Hi! Welcome to my little corner of the internet. I’m glad you’re here.

This website is a personal blog written and edited by Hayley Howells. I’m a British writer living in Washington State in the United States, and this blog is where I share everyday life, things I genuinely love, and the occasional helpful resource.

Running a website takes time, effort, and money to keep online, so some content may include affiliate links, partnerships, or gifted products. Transparency online is something I care deeply about, so here’s exactly what that means.

Affiliate Links

Some links on this website are affiliate links. This means that if you click a link and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission.

There is no additional cost to you.

Affiliate commissions help support the cost of running this website, including hosting, maintenance, and the time spent creating content.

Affiliate links on this site may be generated through platforms such as:

Amazon Associates
ShopMy
LTK (formerly LiketoKnow.it)
Other affiliate networks or brand programs

Not every link on this site is an affiliate link. However, when affiliate links are used, they will always be disclosed clearly within the content.

How Affiliate Links Are Disclosed

Where affiliate links are used, disclosure will appear clearly within the post. This may include statements such as:

“Some links in this post are affiliate links.”
“This post contains affiliate links.”
“I may earn a commission if you purchase through these links.”

These disclosures are intended to be clear and easy to understand before or near the affiliate link itself.

Gifts and Press Samples

Occasionally brands may send products as gifts or press samples.

Receiving a product does not guarantee coverage, and I am never obligated to write about something I do not genuinely like or find useful.

If a gifted item appears in a post, that will be disclosed.

Reviews and Opinions

Everything shared on this website reflects my personal experience and opinion.

If I recommend something, it’s because I genuinely like it or believe it may be helpful. If something doesn’t work for me, I won’t recommend it.

Affiliate partnerships do not influence what I choose to write about or recommend.

Any product claim, statistic, quote, or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer or provider.

Affiliate Storefronts and Curated Shops

In addition to affiliate links within blog posts, this website may link to curated storefronts or product collections hosted on third-party platforms.

These may include services such as ShopMy or similar creator storefront platforms where I share recommended products.

If you make a purchase through one of these storefronts, I may earn a commission through the affiliate program connected to that platform.

These storefronts are simply another way of sharing products that I personally recommend. Any purchases made through them may generate an affiliate commission in the same way as links within blog posts.

Use of AI and Digital Tools

Some content on this website may be created or supported with the help of digital tools, automation, or artificial intelligence used during the writing, editing, or research process.

All content is reviewed and edited by Hayley Howells before publication.

Any opinions, recommendations, or conclusions shared on this website reflect my own views and editorial judgement.
