Once she was on the international stage, Parton was determined never to leave it, and she never has. She has an appearance that defies her age, describing herself as 'plastic and proud of it.' As with many successful musicians, Parton crossed over into acting. She still performs and acts to this day, having enjoyed a recent appearance in the 'Legends' slot at the world-famous Glastonbury Music Festival.
The one thing Parton has done that no other musician has dared to attempt is to open her own theme park. Everybody presumed 'Dollywood' was doomed to failure when it launched in Tennessee in 1986, but its thrived and remains open now. With a hugely successful music career, a slew of film credits and a theme park that she owns and is named in her honor, Parton has lived an A-List life for longer than most of us have been alive, and we hope she continues to do so for many years yet.
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.
