Every girl (and some boys) of the 90s remembers rocking out to Gwen Stefani as the lead singer of No Doubt. If the songs Just a Girl, Sunday Morning, and Don't Speak aren't familiar to you, we're willing to bet you didn't grow up in this era. You couldn't escape these chart-topping hits from No Doubt at the time. At that time, it was hard to picture Gwen Stefani as a mother, as she was just so rock and roll. But she became one and it totally suits her!
Take a look at her adorable son Kingston Rossdale, her 12-year-old child with guitarist and ex-husband, Gavin Rossdale. The former couple also have two other sons, Zuma and Apollo, together. It's her oldest, Kingston, who looks the most like his mom - can you see the similarities?
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.
