It's a singer instead of an actor! Or is it? Legendary pop diva Mariah Carey does have acting credits to her name, so we'll leave it for you to decide whether she bucks the trend or not. During her first marriage to music executive Thomas Mottola there was no sign of children on the horizon, so parenthood appeared to be just a sweet, sweet fantasy for Carey until her second marriage to Nick Cannon in 2008.
That union was followed by the birth of twins, Moroccan and Monroe, in 2011. Reports actually differ on which year Carey was born in, so depending on who you believe, she was either 42 or 43 when she became a mother. She was undergoing fertility treatment at the time, but her personal feeling is that a holistic acupuncture therapy course she was going through was actually what made the difference with their efforts to conceive.
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.
