Who needs to dress up for prom night when your mission for the evening is 'just dance?' Lady Gaga was a few years short of becoming a global music and fashion icon here. Based on her habit of wearing truly outlandish clothes both on and off stage, you probably expected her to push the boat out for her prom night. Instead, she went in the opposite direction. That was good news for her date, who likely wouldn't have looked as happy to see her if she was wearing a dress made of meat.
Between the light blue strappy dress and the sunglasses, this shot looks more like it came from a summer holiday than a prom night. It's only the presence of her date's suit that gives the game away. Wearing shades indoors is the ultimate celebrity cliche, so it seems Gaga was dressing for the lifestyle she wanted long before it became a reality.
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.
