Last updated: October 1, 2026
We work hard to make every guide on Life in Steps accurate, practical and safe to follow. Still, there are a few important things you should know before you use the information on this site.
For informational purposes only
All content on Life in Steps, including articles, images, checklists and Pinterest pins, is published in good faith for general informational and educational purposes only. Any action you take based on information from this site is strictly at your own risk.
Not professional advice
Our content is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional. In particular:
- Medical and dermatological: nothing on this site is medical advice. For hair loss, scalp problems, allergies or skin reactions, please see a doctor, a board-certified dermatologist or a trichologist.
- Financial: any mention of prices, budgets or savings is general information, not financial advice. Speak to a licensed financial professional about your own situation.
- Technical: our tech guides are general instructions. For complex problems, hardware repairs or business-critical systems, contact the manufacturer's support or a qualified technician.
Results vary
Everyone's hair, home, devices and routines are different. Tips that work brilliantly for one person may not work for another, and we can't guarantee any specific result. Timings, quantities and outcomes in our guides are estimates based on typical situations.
Hair care and beauty products
Always read and follow the manufacturer's instructions for any product you use. Before trying a new hair or beauty product, especially hair dye, a treatment or a product with active ingredients, do a patch test on a small area of skin and wait 48 hours (or as long as the label says) to check for a reaction. Stop using any product that causes itching, redness, burning or swelling, and seek medical advice if a reaction is severe or doesn't go away.
Tech instructions
You follow our technology guides at your own risk. Before you change system settings, install updates, uninstall software, reset a device or open up hardware, back up your important files. Software and settings menus change often, so steps on your device may look different from our instructions. We are not responsible for data loss, device damage or voided warranties.
Food, home and lifestyle tips
When following recipes, meal prep or home tips, use common sense and follow official food safety guidance, such as cooking food to safe temperatures and refrigerating leftovers promptly. Check labels carefully if you or anyone you cook for has food allergies or dietary restrictions.
Images
Images on Life in Steps, including photos, illustrations and Pinterest pin graphics, are for illustration only. Many are licensed stock photos rather than photos of our own testing, so products, hairstyles, screens and results you see may differ from what you get at home. Learn where our images come from in our Editorial Policy.
AI-assisted content
We may use AI-assisted tools to help with research, outlining and editing. Every article is reviewed, fact-checked and edited by a human editor before it's published, and we never present AI-generated text as personal experience. Read how we use these tools in our Editorial Policy.
Affiliate disclosure
In line with the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, we want to be transparent about how Life in Steps may earn money from links. At the moment, our articles do not contain affiliate links. In the future, some articles may include affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission if you click a link and make a purchase, at no extra cost to you.
If we add affiliate links, we will clearly disclose them in the relevant articles. Commissions will never influence our recommendations: we only recommend products and product types we believe are genuinely useful.
Advertising disclosure
Life in Steps displays ads served by Google AdSense and its partners. These ads help keep our content free to read. We don't choose the specific ads you see, and showing an ad does not mean we endorse the product or company behind it. Advertisers have no influence over our editorial content. To learn how advertising cookies work and how to opt out of personalized ads, see our Privacy Policy.
External links
Our articles link to other websites, such as official health, food safety and tech support resources, when we think they're helpful. We don't control these sites and aren't responsible for their content, accuracy or availability.
Errors and omissions
We research our articles carefully and review them regularly, but information can become outdated and mistakes can happen. Life in Steps makes no guarantees about the completeness, accuracy or reliability of any information on the site. If you spot an error, please let us know at hello@lifeinsteps.com and we'll review it and correct it as quickly as we can.
