Until she made 'The Get Down,' Herizen F. Guardiola was almost a complete unknown. Had she not forced herself to go through with a kiss scene with Justice Smith, she may still be an unknown. Making the film strapped a rocket to her back, but she apparently hadn't read the whole script before agreeing to the part.
Guardiola has never publicly commented on the kiss scene, but Smith has been happy to explain how awkward she made things for him! He was ready to do the scene when apparently Guardiola turned to director Baz Luhrmann and said 'I don't want to kiss him, I don't know him' - in the process apparently forgetting what 'acting' means. Smith was caught completely off guard, and confesses that for a short while it also made it weird for him to think about kissing people in films. He's gotten over the issue now - as, it seems, has Guardiola.
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.
