You're busy - we know, we know - we hear it all the time. The busy career woman doesn't have time to shop. She doesn't even have time to browse the web much less paw through endless piles of cashmere sweaters at the mall. But she still wants to look good and stay on top of the trends.
Relax. We’re going to tell you what to buy. We study the trends and surf the web for the best items and then send you a link in the MomFinds weekly newsletter. We also find you online coupons if they exist. All you have to do is click. MomFinds doesn’t carry any inventory, so we don't push anything we wouldn't wear.

1. Help: I subscribed, but I don't receive the SheFinds Newsletter!
If you no longer receive MomFinds.com's weekly MomFinds Newsletter, it is probably being blocked by your company or your ISP spam filter. This is something we have very little control over. However, don't despair just yet, because there are a few solutions:
If you're subscribed to the MomFinds.com newsletter but you're no longer receiving it (or maybe even never received it at all!), it is probably being blocked by your company or internet provider's filters. Unfortunately, this is something we have no control over. Don't despair, because there are a few solutions:
1. Ask your company or internet provider's administrator to always accept email messages from 'hello@shefinds.com'. Also, ask them if they keep a 'spam' folder for your account which may contain our newsletter (and many other important email messages that never made it to your inbox!). In this folder, you can normally indicate which senders aren't spam, and should thus be allowed to go through.
2. Add 'hello@shefinds.com' to the personal address list or friends list in your email program.
3. Or change your email address to a different one that isn't filtered by a third party, for example your private Yahoo, Gmail or Hotmail account.

MomFinds is supported by a combination of advertisers and commission relationships with a selection of retailers. We like to call our model retail placement.

Writers are not told what to choose by a retailer, however should you purchase an item via a MomFinds newsletter or blog entry, we will often receive a small commission on the sale. This revenue share is what keeps MomFinds free for you.
Other advertising relationships are labeled “Featured Link”, “Custom Mail” or “Friend of MomFinds.”
