Transparency matters, so here’s exactly how I operate as a creator: I do receive PR packages and gifted items. If something is gifted or sponsored, I will always disclose it clearly. If I’m talking about it like I love it—it’s because I actually do. If I don’t? You probably just won’t see it. Monetization-wise: I make money through brand partnerships, affiliate links, and platform payouts. That never changes my opinions because my credibility is absolutely worth more than any payout. I don’t take money to say something I don’t believe. Period. Full stop. I also don’t accept partnerships that conflict with my values (especially around anything misleading). If something feels off, I say no. If I ever miss something or you have questions, ask me. I’d rather over-explain than leave you guessing where I stand on something. Bottom line: you’re not the product and your trust is the whole point of what I do.
