We're probably all used to the emoji suggestions that rolled out with one of the more recent updates to iOS (e.g. when you type about Italy, the Italian flag emoji will be suggested). But did you know you can also create your own custom emoji shortcuts? Sometimes it's a real pain to scroll through all of the emojis available and it's so easy to forget where they're all located!
To create your own emoji shortcuts, go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement. Enter the emoji or emojis into the 'phrase' field and add the trigger word into the 'shortcut' field. You can also set up other text shortcuts that will save you a bunch of time. For example, you could create a shortcut that suggests your full email address or phone number, so you don't have to type it out every time.
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.
