She may have been around before, but Eva Longoria really burst into the public mind as the sizzling Gabrielle Solis in Desperate Housewives. All of a sudden, men everywhere were asking their surprised wives if they could watch television together. Eva's not just a looker: with a Bachelor of Science from Corpus Christi, she'd got smarts, too. There is nothing sexier than an intelligent woman with stunning looks.
Apparently enough smarts to realize that wearing makeup is not always necessary. When you've got Mexican-American blood running through your veins, what on earth would you need to cover up? Certainly not the complexion of a bronzed goddess, or hair like a chocolate waterfall, or that face. She's definitely got it figured out. Eva, we miss your stunning looks with or without make-up only because we love your natural beauty.
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.
