At Genuinely Jeni, our goal is to help readers better enjoy life through lifestyle and travel recommendations.
Part of how we do that is recommending places to explore, places to stay and more. Below, you can find more information on our editorial process, including how we pick products and places, and how we may be compensated through our content.
Editorial Process
Our main goal is to find the best solutions for our readers. That may be finding the best places to go on your honeymoon, girls trip, to grab a bite to eat in a destination, or it may be recommending some of the best self care items for home.
In any case, we’re committed to useful, accurate and practical information above all else. Solving our readers’ problems and challenges is our top priority, and we firmly believe that if we do that the right way, everything else will fall into place. We do our best to keep our stories updated with links to sites that provide additional info.
We pride ourselves on our research and commitment to putting out the best possible stories for our readers, and welcome suggestions on how to do that better.
Each story we publish has hours of research, writing, fact-checking and editing behind it.
Affiliate Links & Recommendations
In many of our articles we may earn a small commission when readers purchase products through our links.
This doesn’t affect which products are included in the articles, and in most cases our writers are not aware of which brands and products offer us a sales commission. All of the products we highlight are recommended for their quality, performance and overall reputation regardless of any affiliate relationships.
In fact, much of the services and products we recommend comes from small, boutique retailers and shops that make small batches of products and don’t offer any sort of affiliate relationships at all.
But, they are some of the best products out there and so we recommend them.
We strive to recommend the products, destinations, and services that would fit best for most audiences.
The commissions we make from these articles allow us to pay our writers the best rates possible. We don’t want to cut corners, and we want to pay our writers what they’re worth.
If we receive products to review directly from brands, it’s noted in the review itself, though most of the items we review are purchased. Any brands or products that pay for promotion or advertising on the site is considered “Sponsored.”
