Posh Spice, also known as Victoria Beckham, has something of a reputation for never smiling in photographs. Looking at this, we have no idea why - she has a beautiful smile! It wasn't the smile that needed to change; it was the cute-but-shabby side ponytail. There was no sign of that when she emerged as one-fifth of the world-conquering Spice Girls during her early 20s. She says she never felt attractive enough as a child, but there's no sign of a lack of confidence in her now.
The Spice Girls were just the beginning for Beckham. She married her husband, legendary footballer David Beckham, while she was in the band, and they became the most celebrated celebrity couple in the UK. After her music career came to an end, she branched out into fashion, and is now recognized as one of the most popular and innovative designers in the business. Her client book is full of celebrities - many of whom also appear on this list.
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.
