Lucy Hale apparently spends a lot of time being asked about her relationship with Justin Bieber. Given that she's never had one, that must get pretty irritating after a while. It's Selena Gomez who was famously on and off with Bieber for years. There is an undeniable resemblance between the two, though. We wonder if Bieber ever accidentally hit on Hale during celebrity parties?
The fact they lookalike has caused problems for Hale in the past. Writing on Instagram, she said that someone was once so convinced she was Gomez, they wanted to borrow her phone and called Bieber. That's rude on so many levels. Not only did they get her identity wrong, they didn't even really want to speak to her even if she really was Gomez. That's got to sting. We wonder if anyone ever calls her a Pretty Little Liar when she tells them who she actually is?
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.
