Raja Gemini had a slight advantage when she turned up to compete in the third season of 'Drag Race' - she'd been prominently featured on television before, as a makeup artist working on 'America's Next Top Model' with Tyra Banks. She was also familiar to RuPaul, who thinks so much of her make-up skills that she's also a paying customer of Gemini. If you thought Tyra Banks always looked great on the modeling show, Gemini was a big part of the reason why.
Gemini, born Sutan Amrullah, is still strongly-connected to RuPaul's show today. She hosts the YouTube companion series 'RuPaul's Drag Race Fashion Photo RuView' along with her best friend Raven, who you can expect to see later on in this list. If you think RuPaul is sometimes critical of the contestants' looks, you must not have seen these two queens dissecting them every week. 'Catty' doesn't cover 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.
