Brigitte Bardot - Then

Brigitte Bardot - Then

Most of the women on this list either started their career or experienced their peak years during the 1970s. For French blonde bombshell Brigitte Bardot, the opposite is true. Her acting career began in the late 1950s, ran through the 60s and would have continued through the 70s if she'd so desired, but instead, she spontaneously retired from acting, and never went back to it.

Bardot is a fiercely proud French woman, and the overwhelming majority of her performances were in French language films, but her looks and screen presence were such that directors eventually persuaded her to appear in Hollywood. Her best-known roles included 'Helen of Troy' and 'Act of Love,' along with 'Two Weeks in September.' As she approached her 40s, she decided to leave the acting profession before she was pushed and made her final movie in 1973.

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.
