Jamie Lynn Szantyr, better known by her wrestling moniker, Velvet Sky, is one of those homegrown wrestling acts that you can't help but love despite her being a heel character. Velvet Sky has been apart of two collective groups that have dominated in multiple organizations including The Beautiful People alongside Madison Rayne and Lacey Von Erich and The Allure including Angelina Love and Mandy Leon. While Velvet Sky isn't particularly athletic, she's a great performer and can execute one hell of a Headscissor.
The Connecticut-native got her start in the sport by way of World Xtreme Wrestling (WXW) in 2004. Then Szantyr made a few appearances in the WWE the following two years. Her peak popularity came when she was on the TNA roster from 2007-2011. Sky made brief stops throughout the independent circuit including stints in Mexico's Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide and promotion companies in Puerto Rico before making her way back to TNA. Throughout her career, Sky has racked up some belts including the TNA Women's Knockout Championship (2x), TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship (1x), TNT Women's Championship (1x), and more. While she says her in-ring days are a wrap, she currently is under contract with Ring of Honor (ROH).
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.
