There are some fan bases out there, like Justin Bieber's 'Beliebers' for example, who are known for being more dedicated than the average kind of music fan. Taylor Swift's 'Swifties' definitely belong in that category. Swift sings songs about issues that teenage girls and young women can relate to, and that connection makes them very devoted to her. Her habit of occasionally responding to fans on social media, and doing nice things for them, make her all the more endearing.
We're not surprised to see her face on a tattoo, but we are a little concerned with how it's been done! Swift looks as radiant and beautiful as she does in real life, but why has she been attached to a grisly looking skull? Does it represent Swift's darker side? Is it a threat? Is it a reminder of Swift's mortality? Who knows, but it's a strange way of paying homage!
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.
