Transparency matters to us
The short version: Some of the links on Moderna Digest are affiliate links. This means that if you click on one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at absolutely no extra cost to you. We only recommend products and services we truly believe will bring value to your life.
Let's Be Honest About How This Works
At Moderna Digest, we believe in complete transparency with our readers. You deserve to know how we sustain this space and keep bringing you quality content about home decor, teacher fashion, wellness, and educational resources.
Here's the truth: running a website takes time, effort, and resources. To help support our work and continue providing you with free content and resources, we participate in affiliate marketing programs. This disclosure is here to explain exactly what that means for you.
What Are Affiliate Links?
When you see a product recommendation on Moderna Digest—whether it's a beautiful throw pillow for your living room, a chic teacher outfit, or a wellness product we love—some of those links are special "affiliate links."
If you click on one of these links and decide to make a purchase, the company (like Amazon or another retailer) pays us a small commission. Think of it as a "thank you" for sending a customer their way. Importantly, this commission comes from the retailer's pocket, not yours. You pay exactly the same price whether you use our link or go directly to the website yourself.
Which Programs Do We Participate In?
Moderna Digest is a participant in several affiliate marketing programs, including:
Amazon Services LLC Associates Program
This is an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites like ours to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites. When we recommend a book, home decor item, teaching supply, or any other product available on Amazon, we may use an affiliate link.
We also work with other reputable affiliate networks and individual brands in the home decor, fashion, wellness, and education spaces. These partnerships allow us to share products we genuinely love while earning a commission if you choose to purchase through our links.
Our Promise to You: Integrity Above All
Here's what you need to know about how we choose what to recommend:
We only recommend products we believe in. Whether it's a classroom organizer, a stylish teacher cardigan, or a wellness product, if we're sharing it with you, it's because we think it's worth your attention. We don't promote products solely because they offer higher commissions. If something doesn't align with our values or wouldn't genuinely benefit our audience, we won't recommend it—regardless of the potential earnings.
Affiliate relationships don't dictate our content. We write about topics that matter to our community of educators and modern professionals. Yes, we may include affiliate links within our articles, but those articles exist because we want to share helpful information with you, not because we're being paid to write them.
We maintain editorial independence. The brands we link to don't review or approve our content before we publish it. Our opinions are our own, and we retain full creative control over everything we publish on Moderna Digest.
Honest reviews are non-negotiable. If we share a product review, it will be balanced and truthful. If something has drawbacks, we'll tell you. If we haven't personally used a product but think it might interest you based on research, we'll be clear about that too.
When You'll See Affiliate Links
You might encounter affiliate links in several places throughout Moderna Digest:
• Blog Posts & Articles: When we recommend specific products in our style guides, home decor inspiration posts, or wellness tips
• Resource Roundups: In curated lists of our favorite classroom supplies, teacher outfit essentials, or seasonal decor
• Product Reviews: When we test and review specific items
• Gift Guides: In our seasonal gift recommendations for teachers, friends, or yourself
Whenever possible, we try to clearly indicate when a link is an affiliate link, though please know that not every product link on our site is an affiliate link—sometimes we just love something and want to share it!
No Pressure, Just Options
Using our affiliate links is entirely optional and completely up to you. We appreciate it when you do, because it helps support our work, but we want you to shop wherever you feel most comfortable. If you prefer to search for a product directly or shop at a different retailer, we completely understand.
Our goal is to inspire you, provide helpful resources, and create a space where you feel supported in balancing professional life and personal style. Whether you purchase through our links or not, we're grateful you're here.
Questions or Concerns?
We believe in open communication. If you ever have questions about our affiliate relationships, a specific product recommendation, or anything else related to this disclosure, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're happy to provide more information or discuss any concerns you might have.

Our Commitment to FTC Compliance
This disclosure is in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255: "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising." We take these guidelines seriously because we believe in treating our readers with respect and honesty.
In simple terms: the FTC requires us to tell you when we might earn money from product recommendations. This policy serves that purpose while also reflecting our values of transparency and integrity.
Bottom line: We make a small commission if you purchase through our affiliate links, but it doesn't cost you anything extra. We only recommend what we genuinely believe will add value to your life. Your trust means everything to us.
