My goal is to explain the products to you, in an honest way. What they offer; and what they lack, and whether they;re good fit for you, regarding your current situation. I do this so you can make an informed decision and not shoot yourself in the leg with bad choices, and because I make commissions if you purchase, and it is my responsibility to be upfront with you.

These are my opinions and are not representative of the business that created these products.
My reviews are based on my:

  • experience with the products
  • personal research
