Fabulously wealthy thanks to her glittering career and a few smart moves in the business world - including a cosmetic line targeted at ethnic beauty - Iman has played hard and lived hard. She continues to occasionally model and design fashion lines with the timeless beauty she's known for, but she's also stepped back to let other younger women take over the industry.
She was married twice before she met David Bowie in the early 1990s, and the pair were married from 1992 all the way up to his death last year. In her later years, she took an active role in philanthropy, supporting numerous East African relief organizations as well as campaigning against so-called "blood diamonds". She might be 62 years old now, but she's still as wonderful as ever.
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.
