If You Buy Something

Short version: if you buy through certain links, I get a few cents. It doesn't change what you pay. Here's the longer version.

How it works

Folk Calm is part of the Amazon Associates program. When you click an affiliate link on this site and buy something, Amazon pays me a small commission. The price you pay is exactly the same — the commission comes out of Amazon's pocket, not yours.

I don't see what you bought, I don't know who you are, and I don't collect any of your payment information. All of that stays between you and Amazon.

What I link to

I only link to things I'd use in my own kitchen — wooden basins, dried herbs, plain cotton towels, the kind of ginger I buy at the Asian grocery. These are common household goods, not health products or supplements. A link just means the item is part of the cultural story I'm telling.

I don't recommend products I haven't used, and I don't let affiliate relationships shape what I write. I write the article first, then check if there's something relevant worth linking to.

How to spot affiliate links

Affiliate links on this site are marked with technical attributes that search engines recognize. There's also a disclosure notice near any section with affiliate links, and one in the footer of every page. You shouldn't have to hunt to figure out which links pay me.
