Privacy Policy & Blog Courtesy

Welcome to The Savvy Heart!
The Savvy Heart is a brand and blog written and curated by Terra Link. I’m far from an expert, I’m just a girl sharing her two cents & experiences when it comes to design, style, and DIY projects. 

IMAGES
My blog uses original layouts and designs. I use a mixture of my own images and images sourced from various websites and designers. I try to find the original source and credit accordingly, but if I made a mistake, simply email me and I’ll make the necessary adjustments. 

If you’d like to use my images, please credit me and link back to thesavvyheart.com. Please do not use my floorplans, drawings, layouts, or designs without permission.

AFFILIATES & SPONSORED CONTENT
The Savvy Heart participates in multiple affiliate programs as a way of keeping this blog up-to-date and active.

If you click on an affiliate link and end up purchasing something, I may earn a small commission for referring you to that website. Don’t worry, you’ll never pay a penny more! It's a win-win so I can keep creating free content for you!

I really appreciate you taking the time to look around my corner of the internet and supporting my business!

On occasion, I collaborate with brands and companies to create unique content featuring their products either in exchange for money or free products. I only work with companies that align with my values and promote products I would or do actually use. All opinions in any reviews or blog posts are my own, regardless if they are positive or negative. All of these posts will be clearly labeled at the top of the post.
