The "No-Mood-Killers" Policy

Keep the Spice Flowing (And the Opinions Unbought)

Let’s be real: Nothing kills the mood of a 5-star spice review faster than a pop-up ad for life insurance.

At Candor & Spice, we are committed to keeping this space 100% ad-free and our opinions 100% our own. But quality content isn't free, and neither is the coffee that fuels our late-night reading binges.

Every hoodie, candle, and tote you snag helps us:

• Pay Our Writers: Because exposure doesn't pay rent, and talent deserves to be compensated.

• Keep the Lights On: Covering server costs, tech, and the boring operational stuff that keeps the site running smoothly.

• Stay Independent: We don't do paid positive reviews. Your support means we answer to you, not a publisher's marketing budget.

So go ahead—treat yourself to some merch. You get to look cute, and we get to keep delivering the honest, unfiltered, and unapologetic reviews you crave. 🌶️
