Medicinal Marzipan Disclosure/Disclaimer
MM Mission
My goal here at Medicinal Marzipan is to help you improve your body image – reexamining the ways in which you lead your life in order to learn to live more positively, authentically, and with an abundance of self-love. In doing so, I am taking steps to become an independent worker so that I may have the necessary flexibility and financial stability to achieve this goal while I am in school working towards a graduate degree.
I will absolutely never recommend a product or promote a company or organization that is inconsistent with the mission of Medicinal Marizpan, even if I could make money doing it. I am often contacted and asked to promote all kinds of products and services that I absolutely have to decline because they do not serve you, the readers, or MM’s purpose. I will only use affiliate links for products I have used personally and feel comfortable endorsing.
If you find my efforts valuable, I will always appreciate your interaction with the site by clicking, registering, and buying affiliate offers here, as this is one of the ways in which I am compensated for my time. (And they are usually pretty awesome -I’m very certain you will love them too.) That said – if you have tried something that I’ve endorsed here, and hated it? I want to know. Just want to buy me a cup of coffee? I love you. Donate here.
Legal
Please do not substitute material on this site for consultation with a mental health professional. The information here is the writer’s personal opinions about her lived experience, and is not meant as a specific treatment recommendation or personal communication with any individual. Medicinal Marzipan is a place that I share information, resources, and my feelings/personal history, as well as encourage you to share your own. However, a website is not treatment and should not take the place of seeking out individualized assistance. This blog reflects my own personal experience, opinions and research. For specific medical counseling, please contact a professional of your choosing.
Reviews
On occasion, l receive products for free from a company in exchange for a review of their merchandise. Quite frequently these are companies that I have contacted personally, because I think that they will be a good fit for the readership here. I always disclose to the PR representative that my assessment of the product on the site is my own, and that if I really dislike it, it will not be reviewed at all. Product samples for review purposes will not be returned, unless prior arrangements have been made with me prior to receipt.
I am always honest in my posts that the item was received from them for free, by stating that the company was so sweet as to provide me with the product, instead of letting you know that I ran out and bought something with my hard earned cashola.
If you have, at any point, questions about whether the product was given to me or purchased by me, please email me, and I would be happy to let you know.
Sponsors
Occasionally, you will find a post here on MM that has been sponsored. I work very closely with sponsors to develop a relationship that I support and trust, and only accept or apply to work with sponsors that are in line with the beliefs behind MM: self-love, body image, and healthy living.
Sponsors and I develop a relationship to provide advertising space, often times in exchange for product goods or monetary compensation. Sponsored posts will always be marked as such, and I will never, ever endorse a business that I do not personally like.
Affiliates
My affiliates include: Danielle LaPorte’s Your Big Beautiful Book Plan, A Merry Life’s Guide to Building a Better Healthy Living Blog, Thesis Theme, 31 Days to a Better Blog, and Amazon.
I endorse these companies and products, because they are ones that I have used personally and have respect/love for. When you purchase via my links here on Medicinal Marzipan, I receive a percentage of the profits from that sale. This is one of the many ways that readers can support my work here, and I appreciate it very much.
This disclosure is in accordance with the new FTC endorsement guide, and in an effort for full transparency and honesty between myself, readers, and companies that I work with. Please know you can trust me to deliver the whole truth, 100% of the time. Thank you for you readership and participation here at MM.
