Katy Perry is such a cute, sweet, 'girl next door' name, which matches up with the personality Perry seemed to have when she first emerged on the pop music scene ten years ago. It's not the name she was born with, though; it's the one she chose. The name you'd find on her birth certificate is Katheryn Hudson.
Shortening Katheryn to Katy is common, and something than many Catherine, Katherine and Cathys have done over the years. She actually self-released an album under the name 'Katy Hudson', which is a real collector's item if you can find it; it can sell for over $100 on eBay because it's a rarity. As for what prompted the switch from 'Hudson' to 'Perry'? Nobody really knows. Maybe the 'California Girl' just picked a name, and she liked it!
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.
