You know that either tonight or early tomorrow morning, we're going to be seeing quite a few "remedies" for the inevitable - the hangover. Everyone has their little regimen of tricks, whether it's gulping down a gallon of water before going to sleep or indulging in breakfast-before-bed.

However, the folks over at Borba eschew all the old wives' tales and have, instead, put together what they believe is the ultimate hangover helper -- Replenishing Hangover Recovery System. It's a kit that includes 4 Replenishing Aqua-Less Crystalline Packettes that you mix with water and chug to help with how you feel, as well as a few other things that help with how you look.

Borba's Replenishing Hangover Recovery System is available online for $25. (The actual retail value of the entire package is $98).

Borba: beauty you can eat

Sarah mentioned that studies have recently been done that show chocolate is good for your skin. One beauty company, Borba, took that seriously. They have just introduced a line of chocolate bars that will supposedly clear your skin. The bars are made out of Swiss dark chocolate and are infused with a parented "skin clarifying boost ."

Borba also has a few other edible beauty supplements, like age-defying Acai gummies and jelly beans, both of which are organic candies flavored with Acai, green tea and vitamin C, intended to improve the look and feel of the skin. The company also sells a number of variously flavored waters with different skin rejuvaniting purposes.

Perhaps I'm being too cynical, but I'm not sure that chocolate and gummi candies are going to give me perfect skin. And it is worth noting that products that market themselves as nutritional supplements to not have to have their claims proven by the FDA, so any results are most likely anecdotal. But as long as they taste good, I guess it's worth a shot, right?
