You're in a work meeting and you can feel your phone buzzing against your leg. Should you risk interrupting everyone by answering it? On one hand, it could be your mom with something non-urgent to report, or even worse, a sales call. On the other, it could be your boss, who has decided to call in for the meeting instead. It's a modern-day dilemma, and it thankfully has a solution now.
The creative developers at Apple have come up with a way for you to set a custom vibration for certain people in your contacts list. Go to 'contacts', select a person, and then click 'edit'. You'll then see a 'vibration' option, where you'll see a full menu of vibrations, including 'create new vibration'. Tap the screen to the rhythm of your choice and you'll always know when you're getting an important call.
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.
