…only you don’t look like “this”. Edges of body, especially legs are so blurred and warped. Assuming most influencers having high res phone cameras — most her body videos seem to be low res. (for a reason)

      Yeah, and it is totally inappropriate for brands to claim things, but then state that they’re not approved by the FDA. Fun fact, though, did you know that the origins of snake oil actually started with Chinese immigrants who were essentially indentured slaves working on the Railroad. They brought with them medicine made with the water snake which was found in China and it did actually alleviate a lot of pain symptoms as a lot of natural medicines can when used appropriately especially ones that had been proven to work for thousands of years. But then, of course, greedy Americans and I think there was a guy whose last name was Stanley? Started the whole thing of using like rattlesnake oil, but then they found that he wasn’t even using rattlesnake oil. It was like mineral oil or something? Go read about it it’s crazy! But yeah, basically Chinese immigrants did really bring legitimate snake oil with them that did help with things and then a white colonizer ended up trying to make profit from selling something but didn’t even have the ingredients in it. Hence its negative connotations with lying/cheating people out of $.
