We've never understood why some people feel the need to treat a Walmart like it's a catwalk in Milan or Paris, but we've all seen it happen. Perhaps because some shoppers head down to the store dressed like they're about to attend an exclusive opera event, it puts pressure on other shoppers to up their game when it comes to their appearance - even if they don't have the right gear to do it with.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with this woman's boots. They look like perfectly solid, dependable footwear to us. We would have looked at them twice if she hadn't, for reasons best known to herself, got out a sticker and a Sharpie and written 'Uggs' on them. They're very clearly not Ugg boots, and she's feeling nobody with her cheap accessorizing. Now the boots just look absurd, and so does she!
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.
