In plain English…
I’m Jen and I run this cart and pony show.
This blog is my job, friend. It’s the very best way for me to continue my work as an editor, writer and yoga teacher on my terms, with a flexible schedule that I need to be the best version of me. I’ve had almost every job under the sun that you could imagine, but I love blogging and have been doing it on and off for 20 years. Blogging combines all of my favorite things in life, so for me, most of the time it doesn’t feel like a job. Love what you do, they say.
Though I do get compensated, I am passionate about remaining editorial integrity, which means your trust. I will NEVER write about or work with any brand, service or individual that I do not trust or do not believe in.
I do get paid to give my opinion on products and services. Sometimes this is in the form of cash, trade for product or services. The products I recommend, I love and have used in my own home. I will not recommend items that do not make sense in terms of budget; for instance, I’m not going to be installing marble countertops in my kitchen.
Any information I get, I will respect and use only in a way that will benefit your experience as a reader.
