Charcoal is no longer just reserved for grilling..... As mentioned in my previous post, Charcoal Ice Cream is all the rage this summer. I happened to find a parlor here in Atlanta, Queen of Cream, offering their own homemade recipe -- Black Pearl. To my surprise, their flavor is actually vegan, with a coconut base, swirled with caramel and bittersweet chocolate. Well, its delicious and I've been dreaming about getting back to Queen of Cream before Black Pearl rotates off their menu at the end of August.
But, have you noticed? Charcoal is turning up in an assortment of lifestyle needs..... I've been using a bar of Charcoal Soap from Mama Handmade Bath + Body, it has done wonders for my skin. I use it on my face morning & night and it continues to help promote clear skin, particularly after the exposure to hot & humid Atlanta weather.
