Disclosures & Advertising
This blog does not generate any income through advertising or product sales. Sometimes I review a product that was sent from the manufacturer or a vender, however I receive no compensation and only accept these samples upon the agreement that my review will be honest (positive or negative). If I have been given a product to review I will make that clear in the text and also by possibly running a commercial banner at the bottom of the post. I do not make any commissions on products, books, or anything else mentioned here.


Just wanted to thank you for Friday night’s workshop at Aphrodite’s — it was very helpful and encouraging! The latex glove idea is already gaining some traction with my BF… so I think he is in for a fun time next time he’s here for a visit. It was good to meet you… looking forward to reading your blog regularly!
