Gone for the Holidays

I hope everyone is enjoying their blisteringly cold December (or at least it’s horrifically cold here. Hopefully my readers all live in wonderful places where it’s 72 degree Fahrenheit 24/7).

Tonight I’m heading down to St. Louis to visit with friends and family for Christmas. I will be back Saturday, but until then, do not expect much by way of posts here. My main focus will be spending time with people I don’t see the rest of the year.

So while I’m gone, I hope that all of you who celebrate Christmas enjoy the holiday, and those who don’t, have a great week as well (and hope whatever holidays you do celebrate were joyful as well).

Everyone be safe, keep warm, and be happy.

Blog Disclosure Policy

You may have heard the FTC has made some new rules regarding bloggers and their responsibility to disclose to their readers when they’re receiving some type of pay or free products for their endorsement of products or services. I don’t entirely understand all the new rules and such, a lot of them are pretty broad, so I will just be straight with all my wonderful readers about what goes on behind the scenes here at t20s.

Up until this point, I have no received any free products, etc to review or promote on this site. I have never been paid to write a review. Every word I’ve blogged has been my personal opinion, based on my experiences. I have reviewed free samples I’ve received, but that is different, as I just requested a sample from some sample website. No one asked me to write those reviews.

I do try to make a little money off of this site. You’ve probably noticed some advertising here and there. I do post affiliate links from time to time. Any link I post is for product and services which I find to legitimate and somehow helpful to my readers. I never post anything for the sole purpose of trying to make a profit. Quality and honesty are my main goals when it comes to this blog.

I do often benefit from my affiliate links. For example: I am in the Amazon.com affiliate program, so anytime you may click on an Amazon link on my site and then buy something, I get a small percentage of that. Most other links pay for sign ups or clicks. I’ve never posted a link because someone has paid me to do it. I make very little money from this blog.

Like I’ve mentioned before, honesty is the most important part of blogging to me. The whole purpose of t20s is to share my thrifty ways and ideas to help other people my age live their own fun and thrifty lives. I appreciate all of my readers and hope you enjoy the content I provide.

If you ever have any questions about anything I’ve posted, feel free to comment or send me an email.

Happy Thanksgiving!

To all of my US readers, I’d like to wish you a happy Thanksgiving.

I’ll be busy with friends and family today and perhaps the next few days, so posting may be light, or non-existent.

Just be careful if you’re going out to battle the sales, and make sure to think about what you’re thankful for, because that is the whole point of this holiday.

Site Update: NaNoWriMo

I hope everyone survived Halloween and Daylight Savings Time. The boyfriend and I completely forgot about it. He woke me up and force me out of bed at 8:30 this morning, but I was really pissed when I found out it was only 7:30 AM. Oh well.

It’s November now, and you may or may not know that it is National Novel Writing Month, which basically means I’m going to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. It’s crazy exciting, but also pretty insane, because that’s a lot of writing. It averages out to 1667 words a day.

Now the reason I’m posting about this is just to let everyone know that if you notice less posts than normal, that is why. It may get pretty sparse towards the end of the month when the pressure’s on. Other than that, everything else is business as usual.

If you’re participating in NaNoWriMo as well, or if you’d like to get in on the action as well, feel free to friend me on there as well.

Happy Labor Day!

Happy Labor Day everyone! I hope that everyone gets the day off, though I know that isn’t always the case, so I just hope that everyone enjoys their day.

There will be no posts today since I’m heading out for our last beach day of the year. I’ll be back to regular posting tomorrow.

Have a great day!
