Ahh fear, women seem to have to deal with fear quite a lot from walking down a dark street alone to fearing we'll get fired if we get pregnant. Sometimes we fear the smaller, more irrelevant, more irrational things in life such as spiders. Yet even in our terror we look absolutely fabulous. Gabriele Pennacchioli captured the look of terror down to a tee with one of his most vivid depictions of female personality through this conceptually genius illustration.
His ability to make his work come alive with expression may have been what made him such a successful artist, which is part of the reason why he was invited into the Disney fold as the perfect candidate to give Disney princesses soul, fear and wonder. Who knew that fear could be such a beautiful emotion?
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.
