A little background on me! Filmed June 10, 2022 (My first video)
This is my background history of how I entered the DIY world and why I am a patient advocate. There is a dark side to DIY beauty and I discuss this too with my insights and how I now navigate the DIY beauty world on my own terms.

Is Wannabe Beauty Guru a phishing website? Part 1
Here is the comment I left on the reddit threads titled "favorite DIY youtuber" I was today years old when I found out this sub reddit is run by WANNABE BEAUTY GURU! I realized some of the comments I posted were missing so I went to check my email reply notifications and clicked on the reply and a flash of the WANNABE BEAUTY GURU logo was seen before taking me to the landing page. I thought for a second that artblonde2000 was WBG but then I clicked on other email notifications and the same thing happened so suffice to say, this is not a safe board to be on to speak your own opinions as 8 of my comments have now gone missing and its clear the people I was conversing with were WBG cult followers who wanted to silence my views. I do have just one question for you though Jessica-Is this the collaboration you were speaking about when you said you were working with Kim Pratt/Natural Kaos? You run the Reddit page and you will plug her Dermics website into the resources bar. Wow-now I see whats really going on here. I filmed it and will be placing it on my channels, have a good day! POSTNOTE-someone replied to this comment which I can no longer reply to as I had to block the OP however the reply person said this is a favicon which if you look up "favicon" on wikipedia, the criticism for it is that these links (which the OP provided in her post) are "part of phishing or eavesdropping attacks against HTTPS web pages" and "Since favicons are usually located at the root of the site directory on the server, they can be employed with some reliability to disclose whether a web client is logged into a given service. This works by making use of the redirect-after-login feature of many websites, by querying for the favicon in a redirect-after-login URL and testing the server response to discern whether the user is given the requested resource (which means they are logged in), or instead redirected to the login page (which means that they are not logged into the service". I am not tech savvy at all and am new to the reddit platform but something doesnt seem right to me and would love your feedback if you know what any of this means.

Is Wannabe Beauty Guru a phishing website? part 2
I have had to edit my OP as a reddit responder said that the board was not run by WBG (who runs it then) but that the redirect is something called a favicon.

Olidia PLLA first treatment
I cut this short as I had used equipment that I had on hand but not necessarily the proper equipment. I have since ordered larger gauge cannulas and barrel syringes-I highly suggest using 10ML/18G to draw all the product out to mix. Do not draw out of the vial more than once-get it all out at the same time to avoid improper PLLA/liquid ratios. Olidia is a premium product and I like that it didn't separate after mixing like some other inferior PLLA's I have used in the past. Olidia is indicated for the NLF's and this is the area treated along with the lateral portions of the philtrum planes/lateral sub units (above the lips).

THROWBACK THURSDAY! Social stigma in the DIY beauty influencer network and how I am healing
This video was made June 28, 2022. I am uploading this video to give some back story for newbies/groupies of X who are only told one version of the history between X and myself. Remember there are always two sides to a story and you have yet to hear mine. Do not judge me based on what you hear from others-ask me anything and I will tell you myself. There is no reason for you to come and hate on my social media accounts as I have done nothing wrong to anyone. I am a diy'r like everyone else who just happens to do a lot of research and share when I can. If this bothers you then the issue is with you, not me!

Monkey business
Social Blade can tell you a lot about a social media page. Here is a small sample of a hidden channel on YT (yes, you can hide your entire channel) that the channel owner claims was terminated. When social media influencers tell you they are being attacked and their channels have been terminated, go verify it!

Velatox or VelaFEAR! This is not a drill!
This manufacturer is a ghost and this product is ghost poop.

Cats, Coffee and More DIY Beauty News
Here are some links that I was referencing in the video.
Here is the link to the US FDA Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022
https://www.fda.gov/cosmetics/cosmeti...
Here is the link to the US FTC Inform Consumers Act
https://www.ftc.gov/INFORMAct
Here is the link to the US FTC CAN-SPAM Act
https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance...
South Korea is making huge changes in the Cosmetics Industry as well. If you go to section 193 of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety Cosmetic Data Room page, you will find pdf files to open which correspond with these new changes. These pdf files will need to be translated as they are in the Korean Language.

More Velatox Grossness!
The prior video of contaminated product was sent to me by a viewer but these vials were from my own box of Velatox purchased Jan/Feb 2022 which the expiration date was Jan 2024 so they are still within the safe date to use. I had used one vial when I noticed a small speck of foreign material in the vial so I boxed the product back up in it's original container and stored it in a cool dry place. What I saw the other day while going through my inventory was shocking as the vials had grown visible bacteria and one vial had mold growing from underneath the plastic cap protector. The manufacturer listed on the product box is a ghost and cannot be contacted.

Disturbing Info on BNC Global/Acecosm - Who is JP Cares? (revised)
I have revised the information on this video which was originally posted earlier this year as I gave this company too much credit for having a cosmetics business registration number which ended up not being there's but I did find other information which I have included in the revised video.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT For Counterfeit Laennec- Shared Under Fair Use Law
Here are links to the sourced company information. JBP website is now authenticating products. click on the link that says how to authenticate products and it opens a pdf file with instructions. They use the "Authentic Vision-Check if Real" app on Google Play and Apple, if you see these type of app's they are safe as they have passed the Google and Apple verification process. Many overseas companies are using hologram type stickers on products and when a consumer scans them they redirect you to a website which claims this is "authentication" which can result in phishing scams. A manufacturer will always place the authentication app on their website as the QR holograms can get damaged during transport.

Educational tutorial on looking up Korean products in the MFDS website
This educational tutorial will give you some basic knowledge on how to search online for Korean products that are registered with the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety website which is the official Korean government portal for cosmetics, quasi drugs, medicines and medical device registrations, GMP certificate approvals, permission dates and so much more! There is no more KFDA, there is only the MFDS. The DIY beauty community should allow for these conversations to happen inside their private groups and in their discussions on YT to their viewers whom they promote codes to. The product examples in the video that were reviewed were Mecobi which manufactures Neogenesis threads and RF Bio which produces Sardenya, Youthfill, Secret Rose and Dermaren products. You can access this official Korean government website by an easy Google search under "Ministry of Food and Drug Safety Korea" or go directly to www.mfds.go.kr. *see update changes in comment below <iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FDIYBeautiesNewsAndMore%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0VV3V1gSr3GzcHCAmg1LgsHnB1LQjq8ETQkDaTQW21BoEgmVn55tuTubA386kZDrhl&show_text=true&width=500&is_preview=true" width="500" height="616" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share"></iframe>

How do you like this Tee? I advocate because it is the right thing to do!
For every one person searching the web to research how to DIY cosmetic injections, there is another person wondering whether DIY is safe. This channel is that conduit for understanding the real risks that you won't hear about from most DIY influencer channels. My hope is that the philosophy of lying and deceitful sales tactics will change and that good honest folks will start stepping up to the plate to be responsible influencers in this community (something that I did not have the luxury of having) so until things change in the DIY community, I am going to continue my advocacy and you can send all the minions you want after me but it's not going to intimidate me or shut me up.

Long term inflammation from Cog threads
Certain DIY Influencers will tell you that inflammation is good as it creates collagen induction. This Pub Med Meta Analysis and Systemic Review of Thread complications is discussed here; while the pooled incidence rate was 35% at clinic, home gamers have a much higher rate of complications. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33821308/

Velatox contaminants floating around
Many people whom have purchased this product have complained of mold and foreign particles floating around in the vial but have been told it is "normal" and to not worry about injecting it! The company website listed on the box is not working and hasn't worked for a long time. This product cannot be found in the MFDS database as this manufacturer is a ghost so there is nobody to reach out to about quality control issues. The box is marked sterile which is obviously false marketing.
