The other day, Sarah Gilbert posted about the
skin-moisturizing benefits of drinking sake. Well, if you're looking for a non-alcoholic beverage option to improve
your complexion, there's Skincola, "the first skincare beverage". Not
really a cola, Skincola is a clear, uncarbonated, lemon-lime flavored drink fortified with zinc and vitamins B, E and C
as well as oxygen, collagen and biotin, all of which are intended to inhibit "tissue breakdown." While Skincola isn't available directly through the company's website, I understand prices range from $1-$2 per bottle. What you will find on the site is some background on the drink's creators and very poorly worded press release.

And water tastes great, it's refreshing and crisp, especially with ice. If the flavor of water is a problem (the very idea makes me think the world is definitely going in a hand basket) then add some lemon or lime juice or even make a nice herbal iced tea.

And water,water, water is that tap water that you buy from the city or bottle water you buy from the store. I'm not saying it's not a farce but so is bottled water and all the other miracle products that I'd bet most of you have at least half a dozen. Give the guy a break he's just trying to make a buck like the rest of us.

We buy water from the store that I bet half or most of it came out of somebodys tap!!! So lets face it people, I think we want to be taken in .....just a little.We're always looking for that fountain of youth in a bottle, but if we were realistic and stayed away from all the crap that they bottle and put on the shelves and stick a "BIG" dollar sign on and it says its "good" for us.. we would probably live longer anyway.... just sign me .....been taken in too.............

in nationwide, wire coverage e.g.The Associated Press.
100% pasteurized whole milk may be great for the skin, though it is also very dangerous due to its sky high cholesterol content. The very best testm for "great tasting water" is by tasting it at room temperature. The very best bottled water I have ever tasted out of dozens of brands is: Vermont Springs Water. Happy H2o-ing !

No carbs, no calories, but you can certainly get your daily dose of water! Enjoy! (And, no, I don't work for Walmart- I just enjoy good deals.)
