For someone who knows exactly how to make people laugh, Aubrey Plaza doesn't do much smiling of her own. We think (or hope) that's just part of her act, rather than a genuine maudlin nature. Plaza entered the world of performance as a stand-up comedian - and still likes to get up on stage whenever possible - but she transitioned into acting when she landed a role in 'Parks and Recreation,' which allowed her to show off her skills to a wider audience.
There is, admittedly, quite a marked difference between Plaza and the character of Nocturna from 'Spongebob Squarepants.' One of them is that Nocturna is blue, and that's just one of the minor details. The larger difference is that Nocturna is a fish! Regardless of that, there is a similarity between the two. We think it's mostly down to those big, sad eyes - and the fact that both of them seem to spend most of their lives frowning. The fact that they appear to share the same hairdresser seals the deal.
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.
