Though I did not win the RetrofitMe giveaway, I have been approved for a scholarship. This means at least 3 times a month I’ll honestly share feedback about my experience on the program via this blog. I will also share any exciting news I come across such as giveaways and reviews from others that readers interested in learning more about RetrofitMe can benefit from. If you’d like to apply for a scholarship yourself,visit: http://www.retrofitme.com/faq#scholarships
As of May 1st, this blog is officially an affiliate of Retrofit. THis means if you purchase a retrofit plan using my links I will receive a commission. This does not raise the cost of the plan for you. I’ve chosen to become an affiliate for Retrofit because I stand by the service. It works and it’s amazing. Within this blog you’ll also find a discount code for $500 off the plan. Feel free to contact me for this info if you can not find it. My affiliate status with Retrofit does not influence my opinions stated in this blog about their service. If at anytime I find Retrofit is not working for me, I will end my affiliation. I will not promote a service I do not stand by. I will not promote a service to you, the reader, that I do not feel you can benefit from. Please note that everyone’s experience is different and the plan requires you to be willing to work it.
Fotolia.com has provided me with a six month subscription in return for ad space. I love Fotolia, they’re easy to use and affordable and I was a subscriber last year and totally recommend them.

Dear Readers,

This blog started as my way of sharing my experiences with you and networking with you. It’s a relationship that I like to base on honesty. This holds true to this day and I plan to stick to this truth always.

However, I’m an unemployed mom of 4 who’s sole experience is blogging and in the dying industry of print imaging. I job hunt everyday for 8 hours a day and it’s not getting me anywhere. I’m bugging my professional contacts to the point where I’m sure they’ll start marking my emails as spam.

Due to this, even though my blog is fairly new, I’ve decided, while job hunting, to also start treating my blog as a business and use it to sell my skills and hopefully cover my investment by selling advertisement space. I’ll still review things I purchase, especially if it will help psoriasis suffers, moms, or bloggers (or all 3, like me) and I’ll be sure to let you know if it’s a sponsored review or me just sharing.

I will never ever endorse something I feel is crap. However, if the advertiser is ok with me telling you it’s crap, then I’ll publish the post. Otherwise, I won’t ever mention the thing on my blog. If it’s something I’ve paid my own dime for, well then I will feel free to tell you if it’s worth your dime.

Please note, what I think is great, you may not, so please consider my review posts as you would consider any review you come across. Purchase at your own risk and if it’s a two-for-one sale, feel free to send me the other one.

At some point in the future, you may find affiliate links on my blog. Please note that if I do proceed down that path, I’ll not affiliate myself with any organization that I feel is worthy of the “Crap Award Of The Year”.

As of right now, I have several links on my blog. Mainly links to other bloggers, blogger networks, services I promote because I personally like them, social media sites and sites that offer plugins. I publish these links because I either enjoy the blogger’s site or I’m being forced to get with the century and be virtually social or because I find the site’s plugin useful.

Also, PLEASE, PLEASE NOTE: Not every post I write will be a review. Hell bloody no. I’m a mom, a wife, a woman, a blogger, an imaging specialist (hear that Adobe?), a techie, a psoriasis suffer, a book lover, a Vampire Diaries and Supernaturals addict, and many other things that I’m sure to blog about.

Thanks for taking the time to read. I hope marketers will still be willing to contact me after reading this, but most importantly, I hope my readers will stick around.
