Policy | Work With Me | POPIA

Below is the outline to my policy, how to work with me, and POPIA South Africa.

As a blogger many opportunities come my way, and I am grateful to each and every one of them. I am happy to work with corporate sponsors, restaurants, tourism operators, PR firms and advertising agencies. I welcome the opportunity for paid advertising and other activities, including travel, reviews, competitions and giveaways.

Please feel free to send me invitations to attend events that centre around food, as well as lifestyle activities such as travel and hotels. A plus one invitation is appreciated for evening and weekend functions. I am available to work on a freelance basis for recipe writing, development and testing, writing of blog posts, proof reading and reviewing. If you are interested in partnering with me, or would like to advertise on Lavender and Lime please send me a proposal via email. A rate card will be sent to you upon request, together with my media kit.

Disclosure Policy

It is important to me that I write with honesty and integrity at all times. As such, all forms of sponsorship are disclosed. My reviews are honest and the opinions expressed are my own. Providing me with product, travel or a dining experience will not affect the outcome of any review. Sending me products to road test or inviting me to an event will not necessarily guarantee a published review. Please note that unless negotiated, all links on this site are ‘nofollow’ links.
