Slug Club, if you're not familiar with or have forgotten the term, is a members-only organization only available to Professor Slughorn's favorite students. Harry was invited once but got himself kicked out when he attempted to access one of the professor's memories. Had he stayed, he may have gotten to know Olivia Jewson's nameless character.
2014 was the best year of Jewson's acting life to date, picking up five roles, but she's only managed another five in the years that have come since. Her Instagram account suggests that might not be accurate though; she's posted several recent pictures of herself on stage, where she's been appearing in Rigoletto at the prestigious Royal Opera House. Things can't be going too badly, and she looks happy and full of life. There's even a short video of her playing and singing along to Bob Marley songs!
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.
