There are few pleasures in life like a nice hot bath when you really need one. They relax and soothe us, and help us wind down from a difficult day. That's why it's so important that your bathtub is comfortable. You don't want your feet poking out of the end of it, or an uncomfortable ridge where you want to rest your head. Oprah Winfrey doesn't have that problem, because her bathtub is molded to the shape of her own body.
As she revealed on a TV show with fellow chat host James Corden, Winfrey revealed that she'd paid big money to have a tub hand carved to the exact contours of her body, and crafted from onyx and marble. That's a very solid (and probably very heavy) tub. She explained that a full body cast of her was taken to enable the job to be done; although she mysteriously revealed that it can contain more than one person if she ever needs it to.
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.
