Fashion, as you already know, is big business. The best designers get paid millions for their latest ranges, and they pass some of those millions on to the people who can make their clothes look great. Christie Brinkley did that job better than almost anybody else. That's why she was the definitive 'Sports Illustrated' girl and spent more than twenty give years as the face of 'CoverGirl'.
Models sometimes get accused of having bad taste, but Brinkley certainly doesn't. This beautiful, elegant $30m mansion in Long Island looks a little bit like the White House but has features and amenities that even US Presidents don't get. The 50ft long observation deck, for example, and that gorgeous beach view. The only fact about the building that confuses us is that there are eleven bedrooms, but only nine bathrooms. Who builds a luxury mansion and doesn't make every room an ensuite?
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.
