And now for something completely abstract. We have a DeviantArt poster named 'noINKLing' to thank for this design, which is truly a work of the imagination. In it, a faceless girl seems to clasp her hands together in thanks, as an upside down celestial elephant rains down on her, with added lightning. The image is a basic pencil drawing, with simplistic strokes contrasting with a violent shade of yellow, only slightly offset by a comforting pink-ish red.
Step back from the image for a moment and consider whether the patches of color behind her may actually be wings. Think about whether the elephant may really be a halo. Note how her hands are crossed, and suddenly what was a basic and confusing image is suddenly angelic. Could the tiny bird she holds in her transparent hands actually be stigmata? This may actually be a comment on the heavenly nature of womanhood.
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.
