When you're down on your luck, things are hard enough. If you're out of work and counting every dime, you probably don't have spare cash to think of the little things, like freshening up your outfit to stand out at an interview. And if you turn up for that interview looking shabby, stood next to someone who looks like they just stepped out of a commercial, you know your chances of getting the job just went down.
That's why what this cleaning service in Portland, Oregon did is amazing. They don't charge the unemployed for cleaning if they're going to a job interview. They're giving a little helping hand to people who are trying to help themselves. The firm is called Plaza Cleaners, and they're awesome. The owner estimates that so far, they've performed this service for more than 2,000 people at a cost to the business of around $32,000, and they don't regret a thing.
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.
