The Honest Truth
Some of the links on Violet Mama are affiliate links. That means if you click on a link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. Think of it as a tiny thank-you from the brand for sending you their way.
Our Promise to You
- Honest opinions, always. We only recommend products and services we genuinely use, love, or believe in. A commission will never change our opinion of a product — if it’s not great, we’ll say so (or just not write about it).
- No pay-to-play. Companies cannot pay for a positive review on this site. Sponsored content, if we ever do it, will always be clearly labeled.
- Your trust matters more. We’d rather lose a commission than lose your trust. This blog is built on being real with our community, and that’s not changing.
FTC Compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), we disclose that this site may receive compensation for products or services mentioned. This disclosure applies to all affiliate links across the site, including blog posts, product reviews, and resource pages.
What This Means in Practice
When you see a product link in a blog post, it might be an affiliate link. If you click it and buy something, the brand gives us a small percentage of the sale. The price you pay stays exactly the same — you’re not paying extra. These commissions help cover the costs of running this site (hosting, domain, the occasional coffee that fuels late-night writing sessions).
Questions?
We believe in transparency. If you ever have questions about whether a link is an affiliate link, or about our review process, reach out to us on social media — @TheVioletMama everywhere.
