Has anybody ever played the 'girl-next-door' role better than Goldie Hawn? It was her comedy skills in the sketch show 'Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In' from 1968 to 1970 which first brought her to America's attention. With her distinctive hair, soft blue eyes and infectious laugh, she was easy to fall in love with, and so the world did.
Her major career breakthrough came in 1969 when she won a 'Best Supporting Actress' Oscar for 'Cactus Flower', her first major film role. She used that as a stepping stone, going on to appear in eight critically acclaimed movies during the 70s, and even finding time to take a mini career break in the middle of the decade to focus on the birth of her first son. When she decided to go back to work, she was given her own 'Goldie Hawn Special' on network television to make the announcement.
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.
