If you recognize the name 'Holly Conrad' straight away, you get even more bonus points than the people who recognized Blue Beetle and Booster Gold. Conrad is one of the internet's most well-known cosplayers, having managed to make a career out of her hobby. You might know her better as 'Commander Holly,' which is also the name of her YouTube channel. At last count, she had over a quarter of a million followers.
Conrad has dressed up as many characters from the comic book world over the years, but here she gives us her take on Doctor Strange. A female Doctor Strange will be as controversial in some quarters as a female 'Doctor Who' was last year, but you can't deny that she looks fantastic. The basic costume is the same, but something about the way she wears her hair and the use of contact lenses makes this look a winner in our eyes. If there's ever a movie vacancy for a female Doctor Strange, she's got our vote.
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.
