7. Samira Wiley and Lauren Morelli

A huge number of romantic relationships begin at work, and that was the case for actress Samira Wiley and Lauren Morelli. Wiley is best known for her starring role as Poussey Washington in the Netflix smash hit 'Orange Is the New Black'. Morelli isn't quite as a big a household name, but there would be no 'Orange Is the New Black' without her; she's one of the show's most senior writers.

Wiley comes from a religious family. Both of her parents are pastors, but they're thankfully open-minded, and both of them have been hailed as outstanding examples of pro-LGBT voices among religious people. Having a gay daughter will surely have helped to inform them of that perspective. Wiley and Morelli married in March of 2017. Later that year, Out Magazine honored her as one of the 100 icons of that year for her work as a campaigner and a visible mainstream gay presence.

Did You Know...

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.
