Product Recommendations
Mending Meredith may feature products that were:
- Purchased personally;
- Received as a gift or sample from a brand;
- Provided for editorial consideration;
- Included in sponsored content;
- Discovered through independent research; or
- Linked through an affiliate program.
Not every product mentioned on Mending Meredith has necessarily been personally purchased or tested.
When I describe my personal experience with a product, that opinion will be based on my actual experience with it. Research-based recommendations, comparisons, roundups, or discussions may also include products I have not personally used, and I aim to make that distinction clear where it is relevant to the content.
Receiving a product does not guarantee coverage or a positive review.
This is an important change from your current policy, which says you only recommend products you’ve “evaluated.” mending meredith This wording gives you room to eventually write things like “10 foundations for dry skin,” “new beauty launches I’m watching,” or researched product comparisons without accidentally claiming you’ve personally tested every item.
Gifted Products and PR
Mending Meredith may occasionally receive complimentary products, samples, services, event access, discounts, or other benefits from brands.
When a material connection exists and is relevant to the content, it will be disclosed clearly.
Receiving a complimentary product or other benefit does not guarantee that the product will be featured, reviewed positively, or recommended.
Canadian Competition Bureau guidance specifically treats free products, discounts, commissions and similar benefits as connections that can require disclosure. Competition Bureau
Sponsored Content and Brand Partnerships
Mending Meredith may occasionally work with brands on paid partnerships, sponsored articles, campaigns, or other commercial collaborations.
Sponsored or paid content will be identified using clear language appropriate to the relationship, such as “Sponsored,” “Paid Partnership,” “Advertisement,” or another clear disclosure.
Payment does not guarantee a positive opinion.
I aim to work with brands and products that are relevant to Mending Meredith and its readers while maintaining editorial control over the content I publish.
The Competition Bureau recommends that material connections be disclosed prominently and in plain language rather than relying solely on a brand tag, discount code, profile disclosure, or ambiguous terminology. Competition Bureau
Advertising
Mending Meredith may display advertisements in the future.
If advertising is introduced, advertisements or sponsored placements may be provided by third-party advertising networks or directly by advertisers.
The presence of an advertisement on Mending Meredith does not necessarily mean that I personally use or endorse the advertised product, company, or service.

Reviews
When Mending Meredith publishes a review based on personal use of a product or service, the opinions expressed reflect my genuine experience and opinion at the time the review was written.
Experiences and results may vary.
If a reviewed product was gifted, provided at a discount, sponsored, or connected to another material relationship, that relationship will be disclosed where appropriate.
I will not represent a product as having produced results I did not personally experience.
This aligns better with Canadian guidance, which says reviews and testimonials should be based on actual experience and that material connections should be disclosed. Competition Bureau
