If, like us, you've seen both of the 'Conjuring' films, you'll know that they're among the most terrifying movies made in the past ten years. 'The Curse of La Llorona' comes from the same team and promises to shred your nerves all over again. This sounds like a deeply unsettling supernatural horror movie that you won't want to watch in the dark. Or on your own.
Originally titled 'The Children', the story centers around a social worker who, when digging into the family background of one of her cases, begins to find the same strange circumstances that impacted their family starting to happen to her own. It seems that the mysterious La Llorona; the ghost of a grieving mother who exists in Mexican folklore; has attached itself to her and wants her children. You can watch it on April 19th if you're feeling brave.
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.
