There was never any doubt that Anna Kendrick was going to be a star: She won a Tony Award for theater performance when she was only twelve years old! Kendrick was born in Portland to an accountant and a history teacher, and stuck around in the city for long enough to complete her education - choosing not to drop out of high school even though her career prospects would probably have allowed for it.
By the time she was ready to leave school, Kendrick already had an agent and a lot of work offers. She'd won her Tony Award performing on Broadway, and so her name was on the lips of several prominent casting directors. Musical theater looked like the most likely route to the top for her, and so it was no surprise when her first movie credit came in the film 'Camp' which won her a nomination for 'Best Debut Performance' as the Independent Spirit Awards. Being cast in the 'Twilight' movie series turned her into a mainstream star, but her love for musicals was obvious in her performances in the 'Pitch Perfect' films.
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.
