My business in 2022!

Blog

Well, first things first, there’s this blog, Simplify the Sparkle, which I started in June of 2022. In these 7 months that I have had my blog up and running I have had international viewers from places including Puerto Rico, Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK. Thanks for reading my international friends!

I have also started using affiliate links in some of my posts. When you see something like this…

Those are affiliate links! That means that if you click on them and make a purchase, I get a percentage of what you spend, at no addition cost to you! I have not made a profit from these affiliate links yet, but I hope to in the future. Who knows, maybe in 2023?
