To anyone familiar with the iconic still from cult film American Psycho, you're probably going to adore the beautifully ironic illustration of 'Mad' by Gabriele Pennacchioli. His subject's blood splattered face may not be the most perceptibly beautiful one he's brought to life through his deft creativity, but before you dismiss the brashness of the angsty woman as less than aesthetically pleasing model why don't you take another look.
Take another look at the light in the confrontation of her eyes, the snarl of a lioness which reiterates the fact that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. All too often women feel the need to be apologetic for their anger when we should feel free to embrace it and smash through the misconception that anger is only acceptable for a man to display.
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.
