Nymphadora Tonks, aside from having a strong contender for the greatest name in the entire Harry Potter franchise, is a "metamorphamagus", which basically means she can alter her appearance any time she likes. We think some of that must have rubbed off on actor Natalia Tena, who's changed so much down the years it might just be down to magic.
A performer with a flair for the epic, she's toured with the Royal Shakespeare Company playing a major role in "Othello", and gave a fearsome performance as Osha in Game of Thrones where she was almost unrecognizable from her Harry Potter days. Keep an eye on the British underground music scene, though, and you may find her singing and playing accordion with her band Molotov Jukebox in a venue near you. Her Instagram account shows us a stylish girl who changes her hair color as often as she changes her clothes, and a strong love of the unusual.
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.
