Lana Del Ray is known for combining her music with drama, romance and art. Her music touches on the themes of glamour, often feeling like it belongs to a different time and place. Del Ray wouldn't look or sound out of place in the heyday of the 1940s or 1950s, such is her timeless elegance.
That elegance is reflected in this beautifully detailed tattoo; with has really captured a photographic likeness of the singer. Topping the design off with a stylized flower blooming from her hair adds a touch of femininity which makes this a real work of art. What's particularly amazing is the attention to detail that's been given to Del Ray's eyes; this is a tattoo that looks like it's following you around the room. The self-styled "Queen of Indie Pop" would surely be honored if she ever saw this picture.
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.
