SPONSORED & COLLABORATIVE CONTENT
COLLABORATIVE/SPONSORED CONTENT WRITTEN BY ME AND REVIEWS
All of these posts are written by me. I will have received monetary compensation and/or a product/service to us in return for writing a post on my blog, with links to other website(s). All written content, ideas and experiences are my own and are not influenced by the company in any way. I only write a sponsored post if it is something relevant and relateable to me and my blog audience. These posts will be clearly marked with link to the disclosure policy page.
Any items sent or given to me at a press event or from a PR company in consideration for a product review will be clearly marked, I promise to give you all my 100% honest opinion. I only recommend products that I have used myself, I will never be influenced by a company to blatantly sell something I do not like or agree with.
All opinions and experiences are my own and I have not been paid to write a positive review. I always write my posts with my own findings and views, and I will never accept money or items to write something that I do not agree with.
There may be occasions when I write my own review on a product or service that I have purchased and want to share with you. No money or free product has been accepted for these, and so, are not linked to my disclosure policy.
If you are a brand and would like to work with me and StressedMum, in the short or long term, please contact me to open a discussion and request my media pack – I look forward to hearing from you.

I may have received payment or an item from the company to run the giveaway, in the form of either monetary compensation, or in the form of products/services. Prizes will either be sent from myself if I am in receipt of it or directly from the company and not myself StressedMum. The prizes will always be provided by the company unless stated otherwise.
