You'll find that people losing weight is a common theme in this list, but it's not the only one. Some people just needed to make subtle changes to their appearance in order to feel happier with the way they look. Often, a new hairstyle is can dramatically change the way your face looks. A different method of applying makeup can achieve the same thing. This young woman took both routes.
The two pictures were taken four years apart, with the 'before' image showing her as she was when she was 19 years old. Those teen years can be difficult for all of us as we experiment with our style, trying to work out who we really are. She's grown her hair out, highlighted her eyes and lips, and (we think) had a little dental work done as well. This is what the younger generation call 'glowing up!'
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.
