At one point during January Jones' early life in South Dakota, she lived in Hecla - a town with a population of only four hundred. The tiny settlement would be Jones' home until she was seventeen, when the family moved to Sioux Falls in time for her to graduate from high school. We suppose that makes her the ultimate example of a small-town girl who's done well.
While at high school in the larger city, Jones' looks were noticed by a modeling agent, who arranged for her to work with Versace and Abercombie & Fitch. Modeling led on to acting, and acting led on to her landing a role in 'Mad Men,' in which she stayed for eight years. Jones is an advocate for the environment, and for marine biology in particular; she's the celebrity spokesperson for an organization called Oceana, who seek to protect sharks.
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.
