Choose a name for the life you want to lead, not the life you want to have! If you intend on becoming an entertainment legend, actually putting the word 'legend' onto your stage name isn't a bad way to go about it. The only risk is falling flat on your face. There would be a little irony if you were stuck playing tiny venues to crowds of twenty or thirty if you were called John Legend. Such is the level of his talent, though, that it was never likely to happen.
John Roger Stephens is adamant that he didn't actually bestow the nickname on himself, though. That would have been too egotistical. Instead, as his reputation as a showman grew, his friends simply started referring to him as 'John the Legend', and it eventually shrunk down to the name he uses today. If that's what the public want to call you, you should probably just go with it!
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.
