  • Shine Daily is a for-profit enterprise. It contains relevant affiliate links which are marked that way when applicable. As an affiliate for bookshop.org, I earn from qualifying purchases (so if you click on one of my links and make a purchase, I may get a commission on that sale at no additional charge to you). The commission on these sales help keep the lights on, so thanks for your support! Freebies and discounts are only accepted from companies that I would support and recommend anyway, and the reviews provided are always completely honest. I do my best to vet the companies I work with, and will never intentionally or with malice recommend an unethical or fraudulent company or product.
