The fates of fame give, and the fates of fame take away. Nikki Blonsky already had a regular job and was enjoying it just fine when she was spotted working at a Cold Stone Creamery by a talent agent. She was whisked away and promised the stars, and briefly seemed destined to find them when she landed a big role in 'Hairspray,' but she was never able to build on that success and found herself back in the rat race.
She'd seen enough of the movie world to know that it would always need hair and makeup workers, and so she decided to learn all the secrets of that craft and find her way to the top in the beauty trade instead. Now she's a full-time stylist and make-up artist and isn't ashamed to say it, happily conversing with fans on Twitter (and offering them her services). She still goes to auditions, so don't rule out a comeback.
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.
