Black Mass | WHY ACTIVATED CHARCOAL MIGHT BE THE SECRET TO BETTER HEALTH & SKIN

By Katie G.

You might see it in your juices and you might see it in your skincare products. You might even see it in your teeth whiteners. As of late, activated charcoal seems to be everywhere. Its gritty texture gives juices a tint of blackish-grey and turns skin coal-black when used as a face mask. You might wonder how something that looks so off-putting can be good for you.

You Are Your Valentine | 9 STEPS HOW TO LOVE YOURSELF AND THE TRUE MEANING OF IT ALL

Many men and women alike are gearing up to express the greatest affection for their lover, their partner, their spouse, or their latest winter-time fling. We get all dolled-up. We make reservations and plans. We buy expensive gifts. We create amazing monumental experiences for our loved one that will hopefully last longer in our memory than the evening's glass of wine, or a cognac-filled chocolate: or even longer than the blissful high of that naughty bedroom behavior that may follow. We want our mate for this particular evening to truly connect to us and the moment being experienced as one of the greatest waves of bliss our lives have ever seen. And we do this because we crave a connection. We do this because we crave a united oneness with the other person. We do this because we crave to be loved, and to feel loved. I mean, let's be honest: it is such an amazing feeling to be loved, cherished and cared for. Male or female, it is one of life's greatest accomplishments to feel and experience love exchanged between ourselves and another person in a natural and pure way. I know I love that feeling.
