Why Do Reviews?

Have you ever seen an advertisement for a product and wondered if the product is really as good as it is portrayed in the ad? Of course the commercial, ad, or infomercial makes it look great because they have paid the advertising company big bucks to make it look as great as possible. I have fallen for the hype enough times to know that everything is not as wonderful as it appears in the ads. Unfortunately, I am sure that this reluctance to believe everything I see has caused me to miss many great products out there.

I decided to take things into my own hands. I am going to review items I regularly buy and items that I have been allowed to review in exchange for access to a product. I will always be honest in my reviews and will be up front as to whether it is a product I regularly buy or one I have been given a product in exchange for the review.

What makes me think I can review products out there? Is it because I am an advertising executive? No! Exactly the opposite. I am a married mom of two teenagers: one of each gender. Therefore we are real people in our house. One man, one woman, a teenage girl and a teenage boy. One of my children is home-schooled while the other is in our local public school system. Our house is very lived in and full of people flowing in and out constantly. I'm not interested in telling people to buy things that aren't any good. Our money comes too hard to throw it away and I'm sure yours does too. I am here to help everyone stretch their dollar by only purchasing things that really do what they say they do.
