I felt the need to write this post because of my own experience.   I had received a number of email from bloggers  that I know, to sign up for PureBloggers (dot) com.  I don’t want to spell it out because I want you to avoid it at all costs. Seeing, what seemed like, so many other bloggers signing up for the site I decided to join myself.

In reality, I’m sorry to say, that I think it’s a spam site.  I wrote it off at first as being another new blog community.  My first red flag was that when I started filling out my profile it has an optional space to fill out your paypal email with no explanation as to why.  Thankfully I did not fill this out and had only filled out minimal info in my profile.  My second red flag was the poor grammar and spelling throughout the site.  This includes sections like the “about” section and other areas.

Since I signed up for the site, I noticed an increase in the amount of spam comments I was having to block on my blog.  Even after signing up I was hit with tons of emails and DMs on twitter to join PureBloggers.

 Then, the kicker.  When I decided it was definitely a spam site I tried to figure out if there was a way to delete my account.  No option to delete your account, the FAQ section is a joke and does not tell you how to delete your account.

I deleted any and all info from my profile.  If you receive an email from me to join that site it’s spam.  You should avoid PureBloggers (dot) com!

Feel free to share this post with your readers as well.

***UPDATE****  I received a comment below about how to delete the account.  I did not see this option when I originally tried to delete my account.  I tried it, I think I deleted my account but I’m not sure.  I think it’s also fair to note that I also had to block 3 spam comments on this post already just since writing this post this morning.

I am a member of Influenster.com.  I received my very first Influenster box called the Love Vox Box about a week ago.  I’ve trying the products in my box and finally had  chance to try the Kiss Nail Dress.

Kiss Nail Dress are “Fashion Strips” that stick to your nail.  The look something like the nail shields that some people are familiar with.  The difference between these and other nail shields I’ve tried is that you just stick them and file them.  That’s it.  No using heat to adhere them to your nails like other nail shields.

Kiss Nail Dress is supposed to last up to 10 days on your nails.  If you want to remove them, you simply peel them off.  I received the Kiss Nail Dress in the style number KDS14 like a cheetah spot pattern that has purple and silver spots and pink smudges here and there.  Very cool looking.

I tried to take a picture for you the best I could.  Here it is:

I really like them.  They were pretty easy and quick to apply.  I also found a coupon out  for $1.00 off Kiss Nail Dress if you’d like to try it yourself.

You can see the different styles of Kiss Nail Dress at: http://kissnaildress.com/ you can also check out the “Where to buy” section to see which stores near you have them.

At a cost of $6.99 (don’t forget to also print out the $1 off coupon above) you can find them at most Walgreens, Rite Aid, and Walmart stores.

***I received a package of Kiss Nail Dress from my first Influenster.com box at no cost. I did not receive any monetary compensation for this post.***

I know it seems a long way off but I was given info on the first look of a new movie coming out next year.

The Lone Ranger produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Gore Verbinksi from Disney/Bruckheimer Films is projected to be in theaters May 2013.  The Lone Ranger will star Johnny Depp as Tonto who is a spirit warrior on a personal quest and joins forces in a fight for justice with John Reid played by Armie Hammer, a law man who has become a masked avenger.
