Yes, we know Helena Bonham Carter was all grown up well before Harry Potter was a book series, let alone turned into a movie franchise, but how could we write an article about the women of Harry Potter and not include this absolute icon?
It's impossible to imagine anybody else playing Bellatrix Lestrange, and Bonham Carter made the role her own just as she has with the many, many parts she's entertained us with down the years. Seemingly the first phone call any director makes when looking to cast a sexy yet quirky woman, Bonham Carter formed a particularly popular working arrangement with ex-husband Tim Burton and Johnny Depp for a number of films. She works just as hard - and looks just as great - today. She's recently been cast to play the drink-and-party loving Princess Margaret in "The Crown" and honestly, who could do it better?
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.
