In which I ignore the pile of the review products taking over my dining room table and just talk about reviewing products

I never, never in a bezillion years thought that I would be quoted in a financial blog. Since I've been single, I have, for the very first legitimate time, been on the road to financial freedom. I have worked and continue to work very hard at spending wisely, saving more, and being an adult about the money I earn.

I used to want to be this way, but now I have to be. Years ago, when Suze Orman was hot on the scene, I asked for her book the 9 Steps to Financial Freedom for Christmas. My mother quipped, "You've got the first step down -- asking for the hardback from someone else rather than spending a gajillion of your own dollars on it. Well done!" I never got past the real first step.

Needless to say, my wallet is packed full of receipts and I have not a clue about investing and Suze probably has a lot of schooling left to give me. But today, I put that all aside because my words are on WalletPop.

I was interviewed for this post on the FTC's proposed regulations of blog product reviews. It's a good article and I always love hearing what my savvy grrrl CityMama has to say about the business of blogging. I'm looking forward to hearing about how other bloggers are responding -- or choosing not to respond -- to the possibility of these guidelines.

What wasn't included in this post is my intention to write up a clever little disclaimer that somehow incorporates whore shoes and my love of expensive tea, cheap cosmetics and Ayurvedic skincare products.

Linsey Krolik of Silicon Valley Moms Blog wrote an excellent and oft-quoted post with her legal opinion on the whole shebang. Read it here.

What about you? Will the way you write or read product reviews change if the FTC's proposed regulations?
