Kim Kardashian, as we all know, isn't the only person in her family who knows how to spend big money. Her parents are also good at it, as are all of her sisters. Kendall Jenner might have picked up some tips from her big sister when she spent $52,000 on this unconventional sofa for her new home.
This highly unusual and exclusive design is the word of Italian designer Edra, and is known as 'the boa' because it resembles a nest of snakes; exactly the kind of thing you'd want to sit down on. Jenner would never have purchased it at all, but felt like she had to after she realized she'd come in below budget when she was furnishing the recently-acquired house. That simply wouldn't do, so she had to go looking for something else to blow the cash on!
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.
