An Important Note.

This was originally posted by one of my favorite girls/bloggers Tiffany of I am Style-ish... a friend I look up to very much in this crazy blogging world and I realized it was important for me to post this as well. I have tweaked it into Liz Speak though, because you know I have to bring the crazy.

As many of you (bloggers) know, the FTC Endorsement Guidelines came into effect on December 1st. Just wanted to let you know that I will and always have disclosed any items I get for free. I do NOT do "paid posts" and never will. ("Paid Posts" as in a company pays me to write a post about their company) I get a ton of emails each day asking me to blog about this product, that product or offering me free stuff. I say no 99% of the time and this also includes product giveaways which I consider free ad placement for companies, regardless that they want to give away products. Although I do giveaways, please always remember that they are always Liz approved-and many are denied. I never endorse anything I don't deem Unbeweavable!

Right now, I am not participating in Blogher nor any affiliate programs. Items I post about are simply that...items I love, and think you will too. I do not receive any percentage from you clicking on those links. Should that change, ya'll will be the first to know, but I don't think I will be going down that route. I feel this is a great opportunity for me to say that I never intended to make one penny off of my blog. If you know me, you know that. But it's been on my chest for awhile. However, I am now a small business owner and to have a platform to support other small business owners is something I love! All of my sponsors sell fabulous products, but more importantly to me, they are all wonderful people.

I just want you to know that everything on this blog is authentically me and in no way do free products or money sway me in posting anything. So many of you write to me on a daily basis thanking me for being "real." If I posted things just for money, I wouldn't be being "real" anymore, and I am not willing to sacrifice that. You all have supported my realness, and I'm going to keep bringin it.

As Tiffany said so eloquently-"If you didn't already realize it I am always a business woman. I got to where I am in my career by being smart in my decisions and always being on top of things and I make sure to apply that to my "internet life" as well. But beyond all that, I will always be honest with you as I am lucky to have you as my readers."

I couldn't have said it better. Thanks Tiff.

I truly love you all and you ARE my sunshines.
