Transparency matters

Disclosure.

Updated September 20, 2026

Himani Setia is a personal home and travel journal. This page explains how commercial relationships and illustrations are identified.

Affiliate links

Some future articles may include affiliate links. If you follow a clearly identified affiliate link and make a qualifying purchase, I may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

The new home and travel guides published for this relaunch do not contain affiliate purchase links. A retailer link on its own does not mean I have personally used, tested or endorsed every product on that retailer’s website.

When affiliate links are added, a clear disclosure will appear in the relevant article before or near those links. Product availability, prices and terms can change; confirm details with the retailer before purchasing.

Advertising, gifts and sponsorships

Paid collaborations will be labelled as sponsored. If a product is gifted in connection with an article, that relationship will be stated. Display advertising, if introduced, will be identified as advertising. Advertising does not mean I personally endorse the advertiser.

Experience and research

Content may draw on research, creative planning or personal experience. I will not describe an item as personally tested or a destination as personally visited unless that is true. General inspiration is not a substitute for checking a product’s suitability or a destination’s current requirements.

Images and creative tools

Some visuals are AI-created concepts or illustrations and are labelled accordingly. They may show an imagined room or scene; they are not proof of a real property, an exact product or a place I visited. Writing and creative tools may assist with drafting and editing.
