Website: Life with Essie B
Hey y’all — welcome to Life with Essie B.
Your privacy matters to me, and I believe in being clear and upfront about how things work around here. This website is a space where I share my thoughts, experiences, education, lifestyle content, and resources around wellness, motherhood, faith, real estate, homeownership, personal growth, and whatever else life brings my way.
If you visit this site, subscribe, comment, shop through links, or contact me, here’s what you should know.
1. Information I Collect
I may collect certain information when you interact with my website, including:
Information You Voluntarily Give Me
This includes information you choose to provide, such as when you:
- Subscribe to my email list
- Fill out a contact form
- Leave a comment
- Send me an email or message
- Download a freebie or resource
This may include things like:
- Your name
- Email address
- Social media handle
- Any message or information you choose to share
Basically: if you give it to me, I may receive it.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, some information gets collected automatically through tools like analytics and cookies.
This may include:
- IP address
- Browser type
- Device type
- Pages visited

Nothing spooky—mostly data that helps me understand what content y’all actually like.

I may use your information to:
- Respond to messages or inquiries
- Send newsletters or updates

- Understand audience interests
- Share blog updates, resources, offers, or announcements
- Monitor spam, fraud, or suspicious activity
In plain English: I use data to run this site better and serve y’all better.
I do not sell your personal information.
Let me say that louder for the people in the back:
I do not sell your personal information.
3. Cookies
Yep, this site may use cookies.
Not the chocolate chip kind (tragic, I know).
Cookies are small files stored on your device that help websites remember preferences and understand user behavior.
Cookies may help with things like:
- Site performance
- Analytics
- Embedded videos
- Advertising or affiliate tracking
You can disable cookies in your browser if you want, though some site features may act a little weird afterward.
For visitors from the EU and UK, this site may display a consent banner asking whether you agree to cookies and personal data being used for analytics and personalized advertising. If you do not consent, you may still use the site, but ads may be non-personalized where applicable.
4. Email Communications
If you subscribe to emails from me, you may receive:
- Blog updates
- New content alerts
- Exclusive resources
- Promotions or affiliate offers
- Occasional life updates from yours truly
You can unsubscribe anytime using the link at the bottom of any email.
No hard feelings.
5. Affiliate Links & Sponsored Content
Some posts may contain affiliate links.
That means if you click a link and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
I only want to recommend products, services, or resources I genuinely like, use, research, or believe may be helpful.
That said:
Please always do your own research and make the best decisions for your own life, budget, health, and goals.
Sponsored posts, gifted products, or paid partnerships will be disclosed clearly.
Transparency over everything.
6. Third-Party Services
I may use trusted third-party tools or platforms to operate this site, including services for:
- Website hosting
- Email marketing
- Analytics
- Payment processing
- Ads
- Social media embeds
These third parties may collect data according to their own privacy policies.
Examples may include platforms like:
(Depending on what you actually use.)
Once you leave my website, I can’t control how other sites handle your data.
So yes—read their policies too.
7. Comments & User Content
If comments are enabled, please be respectful.
I reserve the right to remove comments or content that is:
- Spam
- Harassment
- Abusive
- Hateful
- Misleading
- Just plain messy in the worst way
Healthy discussion? Cool.
Disagreement? Fine.
Disrespect? Nah.
We’re not doing that here.
8. Children’s Privacy
This website is not intentionally directed toward children under 13.
I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
If you believe a child submitted personal information here, please contact me so I can remove it.
9. Data Security
I take reasonable steps to protect your information.
That said, no website or online system is 100% secure.
The internet be internet-ing sometimes.
While I do my best, I cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:
- Access your data

- Opt out of certain data uses

11. Medical, Wellness & Educational Disclaimer
A lot of my content discusses wellness, health journeys, peptides, GLP-1s, hormones, lifestyle changes, and personal experiences.
Please understand:
I am sharing my experiences, opinions, research, and educational content.
I am not acting as your doctor, therapist, attorney, financial advisor, or other licensed professional unless explicitly stated.
Nothing on this site should be taken as medical, legal, or financial advice.
