My family, who assists with testing/reviewing products, consists of my husband, two children (male -- preschool age and tween) and two dogs. I am FTC compliant and do not accept monetary compensation for reviews or reviews with giveaways. I require a non-returnable, full-sized product in order to provide an honest review. I do not pay for products or shipping -- that is the responsibility of the company or PR firm. I do not ship to giveaway winners -- that is also the responsibility of the company or PR firm. I provide my contact with the winner's name and shipping info at the conclusion of the giveaway.
