of the Kardashians and anyone curious aboutthe ins and outs of growing up in
the famous suburb. In more seriousnews, a recent CDC report has shed
light on the dangerous consequences of unlicensedand poorly equipped practitioners blurring the lines between

contaminated cosmetic injections. The SPA inquestion, vip SPA, was investigated and

its ambitious one billion dollar goal.The filings show that nearly eighty million of

Truf, a truffle infused hot saucemaker valued at around two hundred and fifty
million. While anonymous sources told Axiosthat Sky potentially raised more than the reported
one hundred twenty one million, thefirm remains far from its fundraising targets.

companies, with many onlookers anticipating thatthese would be brands promoted by Kim herself.

more of a traditional private equity advisorrather than a brand ambassador. Despite assembling
(05:51):
a strong team, including the hiringof former Apple retail boss Angela Arens as
a senior operating advisor, Sky's investorscan't do much until the firm has more
capital to work with. It remainsto be seen how Sky will navigate these
