When you're born into a family, you're likely to have a strong resemblance to one of your relatives. That's usually your mother or your father - and sometimes it's both! The likeness can sometimes skip a generation or two as well; on occasion, you may actually look more like your grandparents.
The subject of family resemblance has long been a source of fascination for a photographer called Ulric Colette, who lives in Quebec City, Canada. He's devoted years of his career for taking the topic and turning it into a form of art, combining family portraits side by side in unison.
The results of his work are incredible. They serve not only to highlight the things we physically have in common with our relatives, but also the things that make us distinctive and unique. This is a sample of his work, and it might inspire you to try it at home!
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.
