How has this one flown under the radar for so many years? Yes, Ellen Barkin is a little older than Cameron Diaz, but they have exactly the same face. The eyes, the nose, the lips; they're all identical. They even cut and style their hair the same way. Are they doing it on purpose? Much like Dane Cook and Skylar Astin, Diaz could use Barkin as a reference guide for how she's likely to look when she gets older, and as Barkin could pass for someone much, much younger, she has to be happy with the prospect!
We may however never get to see what Diaz looks like when she reaches her 60s. In 2014, she decided to completely retire from acting and public life, and she's stuck to it, with no TV or film appearances since she decided enough was enough. Barkin, by contrast, is showing absolutely no signs of slowing down, as active today as she ever has been.
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.
