Have you ever wondered how human you are? Reebok has a new test that can offer insight. I took it and scored 75% – Fit Spirit. (I wonder what the other 25 percent of me is?) Hopefully they’ll release another test so I can figure out that part.

The Human Score Test is part of Reebok’s largest campaign in 15 years. On January 28, the Be More Human campaign was highlighted during the Reebok “Freak Show” Super Bowl Ad 2015.

With this campaign, Reebok aims to help you and me realize our full potential—mentally, physically and socially. This is through encouraging a fitness-focused life, and creating products that can perform in the toughest environments and most straining activities.

As a blogger, I’m able to review a lot of free products. While I’m always grateful for the opportunities that come my way, there are certain products I will never endorse. Such was the case with a company who offered me a cremation necklace.

Honestly, I was unaware those even existed. I had to google it, and when I did, the results truly perplexed me. Why on earth would anyone want to wear a dead loved one’s ashes around their neck?! (Human or pet?) Maybe I’m extra sensitive right now because this is the 70th anniversary of the Auschwitz liberation, but cremation jewelry really rubs me the wrong way!

Like most members of the Jewish community, I am 100% against cremation. It’s unnatural and it destroys something that should never be tampered with. While I support everyone’s choice to decide on their own burial arrangements, cremation is nothing I would ever want or recommend.

For me to accept a free cremation necklace and promote it on my blog would be the height of hypocrisy. Because I love to shop and try new products, I have no problem endorsing anything I’d personally use or enjoy. What I haven’t done, and don’t plan to ever do, is endorse products that I find offensive.

Here is a list of item I will never promote on The Jewish Lady:

1. Anything Anti-Semitic

If a product is negative towards Jews in general and/or Israel, I want nothing to do with it! While I don’t claim we are perfect as a People, I will not tolerate anyone denouncing this wonderful religion and culture I love so much. I won’t help sickos spread their poison.

2. Anything Anti-American

I love this country with all my heart and truly believe it’s the greatest place on Earth. The level of freedom enjoyed by the average citizen is unparalleled, and should be celebrated, not criticized. The “Blame America First” crowd can find another venue to promote their message.

3. Anything Misogynistic

As a proud Feminist, I can’t stand to hear ridiculous rhetoric spouted against women. Anyone who thinks women are less than men are either in denial, full of hate, or both. Regardless, I’m not falling for it.

4. Gray Areas

This category is comprised of products that are decent, just not something I personally agree with—like the cremation necklace. Another example would be ham. Since I don’t cook it or eat it, I don’t have much reason to promote it, right?

Anything else is pretty much open and I carefully evaluate each review before I accept it.

I want all my readers to know where I’m coming from. I want them to get to know me as a person, who I am and what I believe. I want The Jewish Lady to be a forum where everyone is welcome (provided they’re respectful of others).

What I don’t want is for anyone to think that this blog is simply a vehicle for affiliate sales. If you have a product you’d like me to review, by all means, reach out. If it’s a good fit, I’d be overjoyed to feature it. But don’t be offended if I have to pass. The trust of my readers and my reputation is worth more to me than a few dollars.

If you’re a blogger, do you endorse products? If so, what products will you refuse?

Ever wondered what 27 inches of snow looks like? This was the view I woke up to at dawn—crazy, huh? I’ve been completely snowed in since Monday night. Other than the inconvenience of being stuck at home, I was really lucky! No loss of power, heat, or water (so grateful for that!!) Pretty much non-stop, I’ve been watching the news and weather channel for updates, and New England has been slammed! It truly is a blizzard of epic proportions. I feel the worst for the residents of Nantucket. At one point, the entire island—15,000 people—were without power! (Can you imagine being stuck on a pitch-black island during a storm? Scary!)

Now that the snow has stopped, it’s gonna be a mammoth clean up. There are some broken branches in my yard and mountains of powder. Oh, and did I mention the snow plow guy still hasn’t arrived?  Wish me luck, everyone!
