If you're struggling to place the name (short of knowing it's a compass point), we'll help you out. North West is the daughter of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. She's also a child. That means she didn't actually pay for this island herself, and we suspect she doesn't even know that she owns it! Most celebrities build up an estate and then hand it down to their children either after they pass away, or when they believe their offspring are old and responsible enough to deal with it. The West-Kardashians don't appear to have any such concerns.
The young West was only seventeen months old when Kardashian paid $5m to buy Turtle Island, which is off the coast of Australia. The only major development on there so far is a home, which is situated at a high point on the land to allow for a spectacular panoramic view. By the time she's old enough to spend time there alone, who knows what her parents will have done to it!
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.
