When you look at this name written down, you don't get the full effect of it. You have to say it out loud to understand what parents Ving Rhames and Deborah Reed were aiming for. Get it yet? 'Rainbow Rhames.' That's clever and witty for five minutes, but probably not when you have to put up with it for your whole life. Reign Beau Rhames is nineteen years old, and we bet she's already heard every joke based on her name imaginable.
Rhames Sr. is a well-known Hollywood actor who's probably best known to a generation as Marsellus Wallace from Tarantino's 'Pulp Fiction,' and his daughter was born the same year he married his second wife, Reed. Maybe he considered himself blessed with his new marriage, and so referenced a rainbow because they're traditionally associated with luck. In any event, the young woman has decided to roll with her moniker, using it as both an Instagram and Twitter handle.
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.
