This woman is not holding a misshapen party balloon. It's actually a balloon that's been ripped open, stitched back together again, and still floating against all the odds. The holder may not be enraptured with it, but she seems content enough. It will do.
The dreams we have when we were younger don't always work out. Even the dreams we have as adults can lose their way. But we shouldn't allow that to get us down or discourage us. Lyubov Dubina's picture shows us someone who's had the courage to put their dream back together again and let it float once more, even if it doesn't look exactly as it did previously. Note the angle of the woman? It's almost like she's being pulled along by the balloons. Your dreams - even repaired ones - can still carry you if you let them.
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.
