The 90s found Candis perfecting her drag image and new persona in New York City, and by late in that decade she had already come out and begun the transition process. This began a blur of TV appearances, drag shows, and small film roles which hasn't let up since. Nip/Tuck, Dirty Sexy Money, CSI - she's done it all for the camera, and shone every time.
These days finds her in another interesting position - by the side of Caitlyn Jenner. Candis and Caitlyn are looking more and more like BFFs every day, and Candis says she's helping Caitlyn through the difficult process of transitioning and acceptance. Rumor has it that the two are actually also dating, which would pretty much make them the trans power couple of the new century.
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.
