Truly NOT Scrumptious!
Now, y’all know I try not to rant too much. I save most of my rantings for Hsien. Well, and for my hubby. ;) But tell me what you think about this.
See my post I wrote for Glam about Winter Nail Care, posted here yesterday? Well looksee what I found when reading my beauty feeds this evening. Look familiar? They added a smidge of something different, but they even kept my questionable grammar. In the event that they remove it, here it is:
Winter Nail Care
With winter on its way you need to give your our nails a little extra attention to prevent them chipping and breaking due to brittleness.
I tend to move to a base coat for brittle nails, and keep my nails polished with one coat of base coat, two coats of colour and a top coat). <—Oops, you forgot to remove my parenthesis!
I don’t skimp on moisturisers either - I use oil regularly on my cuticles - this makes a huge difference to my nails and I also cover my hands and nails with moisturiser as I go to bed. I have also recently started using XXXXXXX for extra moisturising. Name removed to protect the innocent.
Take a little care with your nailcare regime and add a little extra moisture through the cold, winter months. When the sprint comes you will have fantastic (and strong) nails.
Isn’t that special? Gals, or whoever you are - that is not right. If you would like to reprint my post, give it proper attribution. I am nice, and would have been happy to help out if you had asked rather than pilfered. My name is Christina, and I wrote that post for Glam (you can find it here), and for eBeautyDaily. Feel free to add that little (and important!) bit of information to that post. Changing a couple of words around does not your post make. And looks pretty damn shady on your business too for that matter.
/me takes those folks off my reading list - well, maybe I should keep my eye on them. /me switches them to the “shady” category.
[Edit - Well, they took the post down. Thanks - I guess. Grr.]
[Edit again - Well they have apologized - thanks for sure! A little blogger training goes a long way - but, as a channel editor here at b5media, I have to say that I have never directly told one of our bloggers not to take content and reword it and post it as your own, but I didn’t think I had to. I hope I don’t ever have to. Thanks TrulyScrumptious, I do accept your apology completely. ;) /rant ]

Very tacky! They rip you off AND insert product links all over the place. Con artists.

There are three different blogs that regularly harvest *all* of my posts, but at least they give me credit. I still don’t really know what to think of it though. I don’t think I’m that brilliant a writer LOL!!

It’s good to see that they took it down. I’ve never understood the advantage of just ripping off someone else’s post and putting it on your own website. Eventually someone will figure it out, right?
