This one might feel a little unkind - but lookalikes are lookalikes, and we don't make the rules! You'll probably only know who June 'Mamma' Shannon is if you're an avid reality television watcher. Shannon has been the star (or secondary star) of two different shows; firstly 'Toddlers and Tiaras,' and secondly 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.' The name of the second show should have given you a clue to her identity - Shannon is Honey Boo Boo's extremely pushy mother.
In 'The Little Mermaid,' Ursula is about as villainous as villains get. She delights in bringing misery to people, and she likes to look good doing it. We don't know what Shannon's views on making people miserable are (although if you were ever forced to watch one of her shows, you probably believe she's worse than Ursula), but there's no doubt that they're a match in the 'dress to impress' stakes. If Ursula had a daughter, she'd be entering her in pageants directly across from Honey Boo Boo.
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.
