We've hit a run of novels adapted into films! Here's another one. 'Where'd You Go, Bernadette' is based on the 2012 book of the same name, written by Maria Semple. Cate Blanchett is in the title role as Bernadette, a bored and agoraphobic mother who simply vanishes into thin air one day, leaving her daughter tasked with finding her.
It may not sound like it based on that description, but this is in fact a comedy movie, as evidenced by the presence of Kristen Wig in the supporting cast. Oscar winning director Richard Linklater is in the chair, which should mean we're in for a treat. The only concern is the repeated change of release date; this was originally supposed to come out in May 2018, before slipping to October, and now being pushed back again to March 22nd, 2019.
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.
