This blog is a personal blog written and edited by me. For questions about this blog, please contact colormesocrazy@gmail.com. This blog accepts forms of cash advertising, sponsorship, or paid topic insertions. I will and do accept and keep free products, services, travel, event tickets, and other forms of compensation from companies and organizations. Receipt of a product does not constitute a contract for a published review of any persuasion for that product. I do not guarantee a positive review for products. I do guarantee an honest opinion and review for each product that is being reviewed weather it was purchased by me or given to me for free.
This blog abides by word of mouth marketing standards. I believe in honesty of relationship, opinion and identity. The compensation received may influence the advertising content, topics or posts made in this blog. The compensation will not influence the review. My reviews are my opinion and my opinion only. They are never to be reviewed or approved by the company supplying the product. The product supplier that wishes to be reviewed with approval by them will required compensation on the end of the blog and will be clearly marked as so. That content, advertising space or post will be clearly identified as paid or sponsored content.
The owner(s) of this blog may be compensated to provide opinion on products, services, websites and various other topics.

The views and opinions expressed on this blog are purely the bloggers' own. Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer, provider or party in question.
There may be links included on this blog that are affiliate links. This means the blog owner earns a commission based on purchase made through those links. Not every link in an affiliate link. I will still continue to only post and link to products that fit my personal style and believe to help my readers. The blog owner only shares products, services and promotes companies that she believes will benefit herself and/or her readers and that meet a high standard.
