Who said that two people need to be the same sex to look alike? We even think that when Alex Newell was playing Unique on 'Glee' (aren't there a lot of Glee alumni on this list?), he was actually deliberately channeling Chandra Wilson in places. He's never said so himself; he cites Beyoncé, Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross and Chaka Khan as his primary influences, but at times the performance was so reminiscent that there's no way he didn't have her in mind.
Wilson is one of the stalwarts of 'Grey's Anatomy', having been in the show since 2005, and showing no signs of giving her role up any time soon. If anybody needs to play her younger self in flashback scenes; or there's call for a story involving a relative of her turning up in her life, they could do a lot worse than give Newell a call.
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.
