You thought you'd escape without being told you need to learn how to tie a bow tie? I told you before how difficult it is to tie one, and I wasn't playing around. Your fingers have to find the tiniest of spots to bend and fold the tie. The good thing is, nothing makes you look cooler. Have you ever seen someone in a bow tie that didn't look well put together? It's a statement piece. The statement is, "I know how to tie a bow tie, sucka!"
The first time I tried to tie a bow tie I almost had a panic attack. It had been twenty minutes of me trying. It just wasn't happening despite my best efforts. Then, it finally happened. I felt so proud. Everyone ended up assuming it was just a clip on anyway, but I knew the truth.
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.
