Imaging a woman as graceful as one of the most decadent Queens of France existing in the 21st century doesn't really work. The regal life isn't what it seemed to be back then, which is why the modern depiction of Marie Antoinette dressed as a headstrong, savvy business woman is a little weird.
But that's not to say she doesn't look stunning - her fair skin and even fairer hair make her look even more delicate than how she seemed when she was surrounded by decadence and refinery in flowing floral gowns. Whilst in her own time, she comes across as fairly demure and sultry, in our time she looks a little like a frightened rabbit that knows she is so far away from home. Let's hope she never actually runs away in a time machine.
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.
