Remember when all the promotional posters for 'New Girl' came out, and everybody thought that Katy Perry had gone into acting? Zooey Deschanel is an absolute dead ringer for 'I Kissed A Girl' singer Katy Perry. And she hasn't always been happy about it, either. MTV once asked her what she thought about the resemblance, and she told them that the two had nothing in common apart from the fact that they looked alike, although she was "sure Perry was a nice girl". Ouch!
Time must have mellowed her a little, though, because more recently they've been happy to pose for Instagram snaps together and encourage fans to guess who's who. At one point, they were even planning to go to a Halloween party as the twins from 'The Shining'. We believe that Deschanel has a pretty good singing voice, too. That must make it tempting for Perry to call her and ask her if she fancies filling in for a few nights on long tours.
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.
