Comment Policy
Simply put if you don’t have something nice to say then don’t say anything at all. This is not the place for harsh criticisms or negativity. I simply ask that constructive criticism and support be said and viewed in this area.
Disclosure Policy
Balancing Pieces is connected with affiliate advertising programs. If you purchase any item through certain links on this site or any related social media platforms (including Pinterest, Instagram or Facebook), I may make a small commission from that purchase. All items featured will be accompanied with my honest and truthful opinion.
In 2009, the Federal Trade Commission {FTC} revised their guidelines regarding endorsements and testimonials in order to protect the public from any intentionally errant or misleading advertising that has been paid for by a group or company. Since this blog is a source of income and may occasionally incorporate endorsements or testimonials, I felt it was important to disclose the following to you, our readers:
The content of our blog is a source of income for us and therefore may be used to promote products, services, or other businesses.
I will only choose to promote products/services/businesses that we have, in fact, used and that I feel will be beneficial to my readers.
Products provided to me by my advertising partners for my review are given to me free of charge with no cost to myself. This does not ensure a positive review of the product in any way.
I will always give my genuine opinion about a product or service whether or not we are partnering with the service provider and/or receiving payment to do so.
My number one priority is accuracy and fairness to my readers, and I would never compromise the truth just to make a dollar.
Mentions of associated products/services/businesses within the content of my blog may or may not be noted as an affiliate in every reference.
I have and will always ensure to be fair and honest with each and every statement made on my blog.
When I receive an item for free, it will be stated that item(s) were given to Balancing Pieces. All items and shops featured will be accompanied with my honest opinion. I only work with shops and brands that I feel I will enjoy and my readers would enjoy. I have not been compensated to state a positive opinion of any of the items or shops on this blog.
