"Innerspace OMnimedia publishes a variety of blogs and electronic magazines celebrating and supporting conscious lifestyle choices." That's the mission.
Here are the facts: We are a privately funded corporation. We want to bring sustainable culture to people in many ways, from traditional news features to essays and yes, advertising.
We like to think we are uniting cool people with cool stuff. The companies featured throughout the domain demonstrate an aspect of sustainability, whether they are purveyors of organic clothing, natural cosmetics, or yoga products, or party favors. Whatever.
Innerspace OMnimedia chooses our advertising partners with discernment; sometimes a brand is featured because we ourselves use and endorse the products. In other instances, we feature ad banners or graphics because we like the look on the page or we have specifically placed products to elucidate our copy.
When a customer clicks on these visual elements, she might or might not be taken to a place with further product information or the ability to purchase said item. If she buys the item, and our company has a relationship with the product’s company, then Innerspace OMnimedia is given a commission. It's called "affiliate marketing." It's an aspect of media in the digital age.
We don’t collect personal information in these clicks or transactions, nor do we have anything to do with the buying or selling process.
During the holiday season, we sometimes run Seva Projects which take portions of those commissions and distribute them to Indiana children's charities. During the rest of the year, those revenues keep the Innerspace Mothership up and running. When readers' buying sprees go to charity, we are very explicit about run dates for those projects, and who will receive portions of our revenues. In other words, you'll know about it.
As for consumer reviews (particularly on Kitty channels), your Kitty personally buys the products in question with her own non-reimbursed funds, tests the products on herself, and gives a "transparent" and honest review. Kitty does not review anything she has not paid for herself, not even samples. We don’t accept swag for reviews. Products posted in clickable links may or may not generate revenue for Innerspace OMnimedia, but exist mainly for the readers' convenience and reference. Now you know! Thanks.

Shindigs & Soirees (kitty: party)
The Western world knew nothing of Shangri-la and didn’t wake up to literary ideas until the 1500s. During the European Enlightenment educated women would host the local intelligentsia for tertulias, private discussion groups in their drawing rooms. Throughout the Dark Ages, women weren’t exactly encouraged to engage in free-thinking (or free speaking) lest they should burn for their heresies.
They practiced their arts privately, and counted themselves inordinately lucky if they could read their own languages. We wanted to name this magazine Tertulia after those aristocratic Spanish women and their long afternoons in parlors with poets and painters, but someone already had the domain.
Instead, it’s called kitty: We’re doing the same thing in our salon: sharing art and information. Here you’ll find fiction, photography, interviews, ideas and resources for living a more conscious lifestyle. Please navigate the channels from the links at the top of this page. Are you free to speak your mind?
