Seriously, it's hard to imagine this awkward-smiling young lady would grow up to be the bombshell known as "Posh Spice" a.k.a. Victoria Adams a.k.a. wife of footballer David Beckham. But grow up she did, and she came to fame early in her career alongside her Spice Girls band mates as their songs dominated the charts in the 1990s and early 2000s.
After the Spice Girls fame had begun to slow down, and the other Spice Girls left to pursue their own solo careers, Beckham went through the same transformation. But not just limiting herself to music, she also diversified her career with other entrepreneurial efforts with a fashion company that showcases both luxury lines as well as more affordable ladies wear through the Target chain of department stores. It seems through her entire adult life, she's been no stranger to wealth and luxury. After meeting David Beckham in 1997, the two were married not two years later in a wedding that was estimated to have cost over $820,000!
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.
