Katherine Heigl should have the natural look down pat. Rising to fame as "Izzie" Stevens on Grey's Anatomy, her portrayal of a hard working doctor should have involved looking realistically worn and tired. The trouble is that she left the show and went into romantic comedies such as Knocked Up and 27 Dresses.
She must have gotten used to looking like a 50s movie starlet, because she hasn't quite remembered how to look good without makeup. The blanket, bags under the eyes, and haunted look makes her seem like she's just been rescued from a sinking ship. Grey's Anatomy is still running, though. So she might be just preparing for a return. In any case, we don't mind Katherine without her face all caked up - she has been blessed with extreme natural beauty and we admire her for it.
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.
