Country music singer turned pop sensation Taylor Swift is undeniably one of the biggest stars in the entertainment world. She's also a poster girl for what the press like to refer to as 'Millennials,' and she's displaying the full Millennial attitude here. She's mixing pure and white prom night chic with a 'West Side' hand gesture that let us all know she's still cool and street. That's precisely the same kind of image she portrays as a pop star. She was getting her practice in early.
Wearing matching outfits to go to prom is always a bit of a risk, and if we were hypercritical we would question whether her date really needed to include that baseball cap, but then this photo isn't about him. As with the music industry in the 21st century, it's all about Swift, and she's the absolute star of the show here. Exactly as she ought to be!
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.
