It may sound weird, but the woman you want doing your makeup is the woman who can do it with a butter knife. Here's why. If a girl can pull off applying makeup with a butter knife, imagine what they could do with expensive brushes and makeup. Someone needs to give this woman a scholarship to beauty school. She'd be teaching there within the first month. She'd be the dean by the second.
We've all done something like this. Maybe not with makeup, but with something else. Maybe we didn't have the brush we needed, or the utensil, so we just improvised. I was raised to improvise. I remember seeing my mom cook five course meals using two pans and a fork. Nothing else. No spatula. No whisk. No spoon. Just a fork and some pans. The food was horrible.
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.
