We couldn't think of anybody more appropriate to voice Emily The Corpse Bride than Helena Bonham Carter. One of the lead characters in Tim Burton's Corpse Bride, Emily is a young zombie who loves to sing and dance. Given her apparent preference for playing dark, moody, yet often misunderstood women, this one suited Bonham Carter to a tee.
While we know her best as Marla Singer in Fight Club and Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter film series, others may recognize her from Hamlet, Mighty Aphrodite, Terminator Salvation, Great Expectations, Les Misérables, Cinderella, Planet of the Apes, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Alice Through the Looking Glass. A surprising fact about Bonham Carter is that she had no formal acting training - it's all just pure, raw talent and energy that we see on the screen.
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.
