So, it turns out that Reese Witherspoon has been lying to us this entire time. She's spent most of the past two decades as one of the best-known blondes in Hollywood; her hair color was even one of the central points of the 'Legally Blonde' movies she starred in. As this picture proves, though, she's never actually been blonde. She's a brunette.
As well as being a brunette, it looks like Witherspoon was a late bloomer. She looks about twelve in this photo! The style of dress, with what looks like a t-shirt covering her cleavage, is the kind of thing you'd dress a younger child in as well. We imagine she was still having to carry her passport to bars with her to order alcohol until she was almost 30. You know what they say though - if you look 20 when you're 30, you'll look 30 when you're 50!
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
