This blog is a personal blog written and edited by me, Ufuoma Akpan-Ntem. I live in Lagos, Nigeria. This blog abides by word of mouth marketing standards. I believe in honesty of relationship, opinion and identity. This blog does contain content which might present a conflict of interest. This content may not always be identified.
The views and opinions expressed on this blog belong solely to me, the blog owner. If I claim or appear to be an expert on a certain topic or product or service area, I will only endorse products or services that I believe, based on my expertise, are worthy of such endorsement.
The owner of this blog does not usually receive compensation to provide opinion on products, services, websites and various other topics.  If for any reason I accept paid topic insertions and post them, that content, advertising space or post will be clearly identified as paid or sponsored content. In addition, the compensation received will not influence the advertising content, topics or posts made in this blog. 

My code of ethics
  • I will tell the truth.
  • I will write deliberately and with accuracy.
  • I will acknowledge and correct mistakes promptly.
  • I will preserve the original post, using notations to show where I have made changes so as to maintain the integrity of my publishing.
  • I will never delete a post.
  • I will not delete comments unless they are spam or off-topic.
  • I will reply to emails and comments when appropriate, and do so promptly.
  • I will strive for high quality with every post – including basic spellchecking.
  • I will stay on topic.
  • I will disagree with other opinions respectfully.
  • I will link to online references and original source materials directly.
  • I will disclose conflicts of interest.
  • I will keep private issues and topics private, since discussing private issues would jeopardize my personal and work relationships.

Product reviews
Thank you for your interest in working with The sizzlingmommy! I am open to reviewing products that appeal to myself, family and friends. If you are looking to have The sizzlingmommy It test or review one of your products, please e-mail all inquiries to dr_fomsky@thesizzlingmommy.com.

Please understand that I have a turnaround time of about 4-6 weeks within which I will post the reviews and will always try to get them up as soon as possible. 
In order to conduct a proper review of your product, I will require a full size product. This makes for a more accurate review.  All of my reviews are honest opinions and I will be happy to include action shots of using the item being reviewed. Video reviews will be considered, depending on the product being reviewed. In the event that I don't like the product and I cannot provide a positive review, you will be informed. We can discuss any negative feedback I have. If you don't mind, I can post a review of the pros and cons of your product. If you're not comfortable with that, the review will not be published. Kindly note that shipment for any product to be reviewed is the responsibility of your company and will not be returned.


Giveaway policy
From time to time, I shall be personally giving away products that I like. However, if you're interested in giving away your product or gift certificate, I will be glad to work with you to make it fun and exciting: a giveaway is a great way to advertise your company or cause. Please be specific on the giveaway item, and whether there are any specific requirements for entry. I will use Random.org to choose the winner randomly.
Winners are usually notified within 48 hours and will have 48 hours from the time of notification to respond. Please do not ship the giveaway item to me. You will be responsible for shipping the giveaway item to the winner directly. I will provide you with the winner’s mailing address once the giveaway is closed.
I have the right to refuse any product or giveaway that does not fit with my blog.
