Taylor Swift still looks young enough to be at school, and we're all envious of the way that the passing years don't seem to age her at all. She's barely recognizable here, and looks a million miles away from the superstar she's become. These days, Swift has a perfectly prepared pose for every camera she sees. That wasn't the case in her younger years. Her cheeks have the chubbiness of youth, that smile looks a little forced, and those cornrows probably aren't a hairstyle she'll ever be visiting again.
If you were someone who laughed at Swift during her school days, though, look what you made her do! Swift is the single most successful female singer-songwriter of her generation, and is regularly voted one of the sexiest women in the world. You'd never know she ever had a day in her life where she wasn't bursting with confidence - but we've got the picture to prove it happened!
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.
