Christie Brinkley is 64 years old, but the ex-model is still looking absolutely fabulous. Over the years, her multiple marriages have garnered almost as much attention as her successful modeling career. Her four marriages have resulted in three children for Brinkley and her husbands. She had a daughter, Alexa Joel, with famous musician, Billy Joel, a son, Jack Taubman, with ex-husband, Richard Taubman, and another daughter, Sailor Brinkley-Cook, with husband, Peter Halsey Cook.
Of the three children, it is her youngest daughter, Sailor, who snapped up most of her mother's good looks. Born in 1998, she's now 20 years old and becoming quite the Instagram celebrity. With more than 125,000 followers, we'd say she's well on her way to becoming a model herself. Though she has done the odd modeling gig here and there, she's not as famous as mom.
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.
