The apple really hasn't fallen far from the tree here. You're looking at a picture of Sailor Brinkley Cook, although you could be forgiven for thinking you were actually seeing her mother, Christie Brinkley. Mom was the definitive Sports Illustrated girl of the 1970s, appearing on the cover an unprecedented three times in a row. Now life has come full circle, as her daughter made her first Sports Illustrated appearance last year. Cook is a natural for the business and is on the books of several top modeling agencies already.
There's a broad, natural smile on display on this image which speaks of genuine happiness, and this well-cut lacy pink dress is a great fit for her. We're not sure her date's hands should be quite so low around her waist for the snap, though. Down, boy.
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.
