Nikocado Avocado Woke up 250lbs Lighter! Vegan Again?!

Image
The Mukbang king, Nikocado Avocado, broke his 7 month silence after uploading a video to his channel last night.   He first appeared in the video wearing a big Panda head mask.  Beyond that gigantic panda mask, there was something noticeably different about Nick!   There was a super thin body under the mask!  Could this be a clone of Nikocado?  Is this really the same person who would down several cheeseburgers, nuggets, stuffed tacos and huge plates of noodles in one sitting?  Nikocado is the self proclaimed mukbang king of the internet and with that title came loads of weight gain. It was a real shock to see him slimmer than what he used to be as a vegan.  At the beginning of the video, he stated how he was "two steps ahead."  He went on to say that he had been a part of one of the greatest social experiments of his entire life and likened himself to being a villain of a story where he was able to have significant influence over his followers while remaining two steps ahead

Fenty Skin Review: Is it Really Clean?

Rihanna released a skin care collection consisting of three products at the end of July after the success of her company, Fenty Beauty cosmetics. The latest product to be released in the Fenty skin range is the Instant Reset Gel Recovery Cream. The two products that I’ve tried are the 'Fat Water' which is a pore refining toner serum and the Instant Reset Recovery Cream. Fat Water is a transparent pink hue that looks like water but has a weightier volume.






It’s easy to understand why this toner serum was nameD ‘Fat Water.’ Fat Water has a mix of fruit and plant based ingredients such as cactus flower, acerola and fig fruit extracts and even vitamin B3 (Niacinamide). After using the product for over a month, I can say that it certainly does not dry out facial skin and it tightens and diminishes pores with great success. I think Fat Water is an amazing facial toner!!! It’s skin refreshing abilities are superior to others.

The Instant Reset Recovery Gel has a very familiar fragrance. I’ve sniffed it again and again trying to remember what product I had in the past with this scent. Caudalie, one of my favorite skin care brands, came to mind... so it may have been a product from that range. The recovery gel cream has a lovely apricot scent. I neglected to mention Fenty Skin’s packaging in the beginning. The subtle lavender hue of the bottles and boxes are really pretty and feminine. There was a unique element to the container of the Instant Reset Recovery Gel Cream. It came with a scooper!!!! How fancy! No need to use your fingernails though I’d say this is more ideal for individuals with super long nails.






When you flip the opening, the scooper is inside the compartment. The underside of the flap is reflective so it also acts somewhat like a mirror. Instant Reset Cream is moisturizing without causing excessive shine. It is designed to be an overnight cream. The product claims to help skin “bounce back to life every morning.” Along with Fat Water, it also claims to reduce the look of visible pores.





Are Fenty Skin Products Really 'Clean?'

On the packaging, the products are being promoted as clean with the statement “earth conscious” and keyword “clean." Both products and the other products in the line have really great plant BASED skin nourishing ingredients and vitamins but what I’m not too keen on is the addition of synthetic color additives like Red 33 and Red 4. There are much better plant based dyes that could be used as a substitute.

A product can’t be considered clean if these synthetic dyes, chemicals and "fragrance" are a part of the formulation. Most beauty products with the word “fragrance” contain synthetic chemicals. It’s just a term companies use to hide the actual chemicals used to create the synthetic fragrance. Phthalates are the number one toxic ingredient that are in most synthetic fragrances and the average person should avoid them as they have been linked to male reproductive toxicity and cancer.

Clean skin and beauty companies will stay away from artificial fragrance and will use “natural fragrance” which is usually fragrance MADE from essential oils.

There are also a few non-clean ingredients that are towards the very end of the ingredient list of the cream. Ingredients like Ammonium Acryloydimethyltaurate/Beheneth-25 Methacrylate crosspolymer or polyglyceral-3 methylglucose distearate are inside the cream. With that said, can Fenty Skin products be classified as 100% clean? No! I would say that the line is half way clean but not all the way there. The products are all gluten free, vegan and packaging made with recycled materials so Fenty Skin deserves a few green points for that.

The retail price of Fenty skin Fat Water is $28 (5oz) and the Instant Reset Recovery Cream is $40.

Apple premiered their yearly Apple Event introducing the new Apple Series 9 Apple Watch and the iPhone 15 standard, plus and pro models.  During the event, a commercial was premiered featuring Octavia Spencer, Tim Cook (CEO of Apple), Lisa Jackson (VP of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives.  This funny commercial saw Octavia present herself as “Mother Nature,” a stern yet comical corporate responsibility officer.  Before Octavia entered the scene, all the officers and workers at the meeting were shuffling around looking nervous and anxious while drinks shook on the table.   We even saw Tim Cook rehearsing the lines that he would repeat to Mother Nature when she entered.   After Mother Nature arrives, Tim Cook, asks her “how was the weather getting in?” Mother Nature then says, “the weather was however I wanted it to be!”   Mother nature reminds Mr. Cook of his promise in 2020—which is to bring Apple’s carbon footprint to zero by 2030. As the commercial ensued, the viewer learns

Leave the Sea Turtles Alone: Nine Die from Consuming Marine Turtle Meat

Image
Nine individuals passed away from consumption of endangered marine turtles in Pemba Island, Zanzibar last month.  A total of eight children and one adult died due to chelonitoxism or food poisoning from the contaminated turtle meat.  Death from chelonitoxication is thought to be a rare happening and is mostly associated with consuming marine turtles such as Green sea turtle, Hawksbill turtle, Olive Ridley and Leatherback turtles.    Consumption of sea turtles is considered a delicacy in remote places and African countries such as Tanzania and Madagascar, French Polynesia and Indo-Pacific regions.  The sea meat is usually consumed at celebratory gatherings.  The individuals who cook and consume marine turtles are unable to decipher if the meat is toxic because the marine turtles appear healthy and do not display any symptoms.  The chelonitoxins cannot be destroyed through heat or cooking.  The chelonitoxism that occurs in marine turtles are due to environmental factors which may include
