The 70s were Brinkley's launchpad, but incredibly she's still in demand as a model today. She was signed up by 'Cover Girl' and served as the face of their brand for twenty-five years; a period longer than any model would be expected to serve. When it was all over, she found herself signing up with them again in 2005 to promote their mature skincare range.
Along the way, she also found time for three marriages including one to musician Billy Joel, and three children. In more recent times you're more likely to find her promoting her range of beauty and skin care products, although you'll still see her walk the occasional catwalk with her daughter. Brinkley has appeared on more than 500 magazine covers in all, which is believed to be a world record. Not bad for a surfer from California.
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.
