What I love most about this picture is that I can't tell which decade it is from. I'd classify this style as emo / goth, which was in style hundreds of years ago until today. As long as kids feel displaced and awkward, emo/goth style will always be in style. Whether you like a more traditional prom look or not, you can't deny that these two look completely fantastic. The layering in their outfits is something to be admired.
If I have one criticism for them it's that they might have gone a little too far with the goth look. Something tells me that girl's complexion is not usually so... white. That's a lot of powder, by my estimation. My guess is that this photo was taken some time in the 80s, when powdering yourself was cool.
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.
